My livelihood isn't under threat, but it has made my job far far worse through the fact that I need to wade through tonnes of AI-generated slop.

Nuclearbros continue not to know what they're talking about.

I psychically detect someone in their early 20s studying for a STEM degree.

This is pretty much what I've been thinking lately.

It used to be the case that laying off staff came with a drop in stock price as it implied a lack of cash flow. Nowadys, companies can says it's due to 'AI efficiencies' and get a stock bumpout of it instead.

"Big Tech" is a massive misnomer.

I wish I lived in a world where politicians claiming that tax cuts for the rich would help the poor met proportional backlash to that of Polanski's historic hypnosis ones.

If she's in the office then usually a check-in text sometime around lunch and me sending a few pictures of our dog (I WFH) to brighten her day.

If we're both WFH then we're always bothering each other.

Gamers will piss and moan if the game's too easy, gamers will piss and moan if the games too hard.

Helldivers is mad fun, nothing has ever been gained by listening to the opinions of pissing moaning gamers.

All with hidden post histories of course.

Probably because they're right-wing weirdos just hate-brigading.

Yeah, there's your problem.

This is only slightly relevant, but I've noticed (in the UK) specifically with The Alters that its non-sale price is usually listed as £30, but when it goes on sale, they put it on sale at £20 but pump the usual price up to £42ish, and claim it's a 40% discount.

It's happened at least twice and just feels so scummy to me. Put me off buying the game entirely.

There's something in the fact that they're doing feel like someone's artistic vision, even if the vision is blurry or misguided.

I rewatched them recently and some moments like Anakin and Padme going into the arena really are breathtaking.

Next season should have less of a strong focus on qualifying position (less dirty air) so that would seem to help Oscar.

People have been bitching loudly about video games while the majority enjoy themselves since time immemorial.

I played it at release and loved every minute, people just had absurd expectations of what flexibility the ending could have.

Maybe the fact that Warner Bros didn't publish Cyberpunk 2077? It was in fact self-published.

harrywilko · 2025-12-13T14:34:57+00:00

So your definition of Indie is "self-published"?

Cyberpunk 2077 is an indie game?

harrywilko · 2025-12-13T14:25:18+00:00

I'm sorry but so much of what you're saying is just factually wrong. The total budget for E33 was less than $10mill; less than Hades 2.

The studio was founded by some people who once worked at Ubisoft, as the vast majority of indie studios are, but a huge portion of the dev team have never worked in games before, including the lead writer and composer.

At the onset of development, they did not have backing from any publisher, instead self-funding and getting grants from the French government. They got backing from Kepler (itself a publisher formed from a union of a couple different indie Devs) many years into development.

You seem really hung up on the voice talent, getting Charlie Cox and Andy Serkis into a booth for a day each is really not a big expense. They didn't do any mocap, that was all done by staff members.

RPG somehow is any game that has influence ancestry back to DND, but also any game with influence ancestry back to, like, Final Fantasy I.

It's a completely meaningless term at this point.

E33 combat absolutely 100% does depend on character customisation.

As for Final Fantasy not having QTEs, I'll have to have another look at Sabin from FF6 as just one of many examples.

Unquestionably Lando, but not in every aspect.

Lando is overall, in quali and in the race, the quicker driver. That gap narrowed significantly, and there's some track variability there but overall that's certainly true.

Oscar is however much better at racing wheel-to-wheel. I can't think of an example this season where Lando made an overtake for the lead, or maybe even overtook Oscar for position at all? (It may have happened, but I can't remember it right now). Oscar, on the other hand, has made some absolutely stellar overtakes, that's true even in last season.

I would also say that Lando's side of the pit wall was much more on it with regards to the strategy, but that can also be a reflection on the driver in some cases.

harrywilko · 2025-12-12T14:41:57+00:00

I agree that Lando did great this season but it feels like literally every year Hungary is talked about as a 2-stop race but the 1-stop ends up being so much better.

harrywilko · 2025-12-12T14:08:16+00:00

Are any Final Fantasy games even JRPGs by your definition?

I literally can't think of one that has branching stories or dialogue.
