Yep, I (and the rest of the world, his wife; and his agency, fucking CAA) am/are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Its been said here a few times including by me, but he has future career prospects as a conservative podcaster.

I have this feeling this is probably not the last controversy involving minors we will see shake out of his mustache this week. Justin Roiland had his empire also collapse from grooming. Guy is done.

Boy there’s a strong correlation between being a streamer/YouTuber/online video creator and being a sex pest.

He also is “stepping away” for a while which I guess is code for “CAA can’t save me” so I guess in six months we get another conservative podcaster on X, and a new KiwiFarms thread for Eric “Dr Disrespect” Beahm.

I have a pillow sack full of nickels at this point, which leads me to think we have a serious problem with streaming/youtubing as a career.

No, its a game about fucking up the one thing the first thing did right by adding a stamina meter, and then ruining it by cutting out half the story.

Don’t worry, in five years it will launch with the same physics tick rate bug and the dearth of anything interesting that is customary of any Bethesda Game Studios game.

I gotta keep it real with you: Nothing about the trailer looks interesting to me. My viewpoints on Doom are pretty colored due to Mick Gordon’s claims and the poor combat and traversal loops in Eternal.

At least its not Doom 3 all over again.

Ah yes, the movie that’s lost all of its original writers and been in reshoots for many years.

It seems like a toxic community surrounds Riot’s games worse than they do other games.

All rely heavily on fetch quests as the basis of their game loop, and all of them are flavored fetch quests. I played Generation Zero and got sick of it quick, and it quickly became apparent as I played Rage 2 that this is most of the experience.

I actually liked New Vegas’ open world and its a miracle it turned out the way it did, and within the span of a year. Night City too, but CDPR had a long time to get it right and I even waited a year and a half post-release.

Well, for Generation Zero, I felt like the closer I got to the endgame and FNIX Rising the more obvious it got that Avalanche really expected you to do middling discovery and fetch quests to prepare, and it becomes incredibly unbalanced system wise (especially in FNIX Rising, which is tacked on crap that had no playtesting for balance). I saw a similar pattern in Rage 2.

Generation Zero was a really, really, really bad first experience for me.

Someone on Reddit said it beautifully: if you’re a bad writer, this game will make you feel better about yourself.

I’ve been playing it and I feel like its not quite the 80/100 I expected. Its probably closer to a 70/100 to me. Which isn’t bad, its just not reaching the highs Cataclysm/Emergence did. Its better than HW2, which had a pretty lazy heroes journey bs story. That’s not an accomplishment though.

The megalith combat is really great. Its more interesting than just deep space combat that the franchise is known for. The story teeters between compelling and boring. The ship designs are amazing, and the fact I can see the elements of Sajuuk present in the Incarnate is compelling worldbuilding.

I am outright confused why they are using CGI cutscenes over the drawn cutscenes Homeworld is known for. The combat feels pretty basic, its not as smart as HWR Players Patch. This was a problem with DOK as well. I fear it will share DOK’s other problem: it stops being interesting the moment the campaign ends, and i’ll never touch it again.

Homeworld 3 was never going to move numbers, i’m worried Gearbox set this up to fail. I really think this franchise should branch out beyond RTS and give us games to explore the universe that, at times, feels as huge as its ambitions. I’m reminded of a one-off Kiith from the Cata manual, where they lost everything on Kharak – their family, their other Kiithid; so they stole a freighter and a crusade against the Taiidan Remnant became all they lived for. As the bodies were stacked, their Kiith grew once more. That would be a badass game to play, a space sim like Freelancer where I am taking out the trash.

I’m still sore about what they did to Mick Gordon.

REMEMBER WHEN THEY LAST MADE A THIRD DOOM GAME AND IT, WELL, its not memorable in any way imaginable. And I liked Doom 3.

Andrew Hulshult and Chad Mossholder. They do good work.

It may be but the engine team is mostly Ex-Crytek folks carrying over from Carmack’s work with OpenGL. Even the Raytracing support is just a Vulkan Extension. They could change gears.

I felt like the decision to make jumping and mobility more a factor in Eternal hurt it a lot. Jumping puzzles and jumping mechanics in FPS games don’t really work for a lot of reasons (see: Half-Life) and it made the levels feel much more linear than 2016, the arenas much more smaller and less mobile. id did invent this genre, and even they can’t make it work. What does that tell you?

Also the changing of the ammo metaelements to prioritize chainsawing felt dumb. Having to pinata every so often was the most obvious thing that felt straight up wrong compared to 2016, and that’s a sign of a garbage core loop.

The writing was pretty good, but I have the attention span of a summer ant when I play Doom.

You can start by not buying GamePass, or preordering games.

You are asking a lot because gamers are the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

You have to have a copy of the game on Steam to review it. It will automatically say you got it for free if it’s a key from Steamworks (given to the press usually). This means the costs of faking reviews would outpace the volume really early.

Alyx used PBR a technology already dated compared to Raytracing and it looks better than most games with Raytracing. We’re there, man.

Anytime I see unrealistic boob physics I just point out that they need a sports bra, because that usually fixes the issue in real life. It is distracting but I don’t care.

The amount of fucking hate and vitriol that appearance and shit like this gets from everyone involved on social media is the literal definition of “pointless squabble” and people can act like, well, people are passionate about games like any other media. No they aren’t. Gamers are dumbasses, and they’re being played like fiddles by someone. If you don’t like it, you can play so many other games.

I’m a franchise loyalist and I am so, so, so past caring about this New Vegas shit. There’s no guarantees that New Vegas isn’t in despair off an external shot. And even if it is, I’m interested in hearing how it goes.

The show was great.
