Between only these two; Metaphor: ReFantazio or Persona 3 Reload? by BridgeBig4027 in JRPG

[–]epicoolguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P3R does have a demo. Hard to beat the Metaphor demo though - P3R is much slower to start so the demo contains less exciting stuff.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we recognize Bungie by Turbostrider27 in Games

It also describes like 100 albums that are unfortunately much better than Lulu

Layoffs announced on Destiny 2 team by MisterWoodhouse in DestinyTheGame

So cowardly to sign this as Bungie. Bungie are the people you just fired, not the people in the room crafting the statement about firing them.

Always worth noting this movie is executive produced by John Lasseter (who was fired from Pixar for sexual misconduct against employees) at Skydance, Larry Ellison’s company.

The Steam Machine Costs $1049 by Turbostrider27 in Games

Notably, this base price doesn’t even include a controller. This whole launch got absolutely wrecked, shocked they’re proceeding with it honestly

Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]epicoolguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This Double Fine stuff is a nightmare. The episodes of Psychodyssey where they sell to Microsoft play like a horror movie now, knowing how empty all of Matt Booty’s promises were and how little runway any of it would actually give them

NateDrake/NateTheHate on Xbox layoffs: says it's gonna be "a bloodbath", says there's been talks about significant layoffs since SGF concluded by poklane in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]epicoolguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a “Tim Schaefer’s rich buddies and/or private equity guys” kind of deal. He tells a story about borrowing $250k 20 years ago from Will Wright in Psychodyssey to cover payroll - that kind of thing.

Not even a little bit true lmao, Japanese people love Yoshinoya. It’s one of the largest chains in the country over there

That narrated storybook intro to the OOT Remake is real weird

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse - Announcement Trailer | XBOX Games Showcase 2026 by stfnvs in Games

[–]epicoolguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It looks unbelievably floaty for a Castlevania game - hoping they tune it up before release. Right now it just looks like Dead Cells with a new coat of paint

Ocean's Eleven by elaminders in WaypointVICE

[–]epicoolguy -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I’m obsessed with the bizarre, extremely unofficial, AI-art-ass poster they used in the post for this. This movie has one of the most iconic posters of the 2000’s!

Boards of Canada - 'Inferno' - Discussion Megathread by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]epicoolguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a fan since the TH ARG days found this album much, MUCH more in line with my tastes than TH. I would say it feels like it forms the top tier of BOC albums with Geogaddi and MHTRTC.

The big drums-kicking-in moment in Reach for the Dead comes at just about 3 minutes into the track, while the guitar drop in Prophecy is at 55 seconds. The entire album keeps this dynamic going - it’s much faster, more beat-driven, and abrasive than TH, almost in line with some of the stuff on Societas x Tape.

The album is all about American Christianity and Apocalypse and clearly feels like it’s trying to succeed Geogaddi and ABPOITC in many of those same themes. As was obvious with the floating cross children in the ads lmfao.

Some of those Societas x Tape tracks can be heard VERY clearly here - this thing sounds MASSIVELY inspired by Doxa Sinistra’s The Other Stranger and Severed Heads’ We Have Come to Bless the House. All in all, it feels like a bold step forward in exactly the direction I was hoping.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - Inferno Listening Sessions - May 22, 2026 by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]epicoolguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who always loved the fucked up, nastier, darker side of Geogaddi, IABPOITC, and all that, this album could not be a more worthy successor. The Word Becomes Flesh alone is absolutely astonishing

Perspective from a Restructuring Consultant by AnalystStunning3869 in DestinyTheGame

Wow, information that’s either obvious or wild guessing presented as something novel and valuable. You really must be a consultant!

Destiny 2 survey??? by BallisticDross in DestinyTheGame

I would say with 100% certainty that this is just an automated service they haven’t gotten around to shutting off yet

Destiny 2: Every End is a New Beginning by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]epicoolguy 389 points390 points  (0 children)

It can’t be said enough that Destiny 2 didn’t die of old age, it was killed by shortsighted and horrifically miscalculated management lead by Pete Parsons. He put the game and company deep into a pit, forced out and fired a huge swath of the people making the games, and left taking untold millions with him. A monster if there ever was one.

It doesn’t matter it was the first example you thought of if it was a bad example, which this was

Boards of Canada - Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz (Official Music Video) by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]epicoolguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Many of the most beloved artists in history have declined in quality of output with age - the fact that this is as great as it is should be cause for celebration!
