Depends on the umbrella corporation and the companies underneath it. Seems to be working for Berkshire Hathaway. The videogame business is extremely hit driven, has long production schedules and ever...

Ah yes, science fiction, famously free of politics of any sort. Full of examples such as Frank Herbert's apolitical masterpiece, Dune. Ursula K Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. Octavia Butler. Or...

@retris: Not really, it has its highest ever player population right now. Avg 34k players, peak 60+k on PC alone, it's on Game Pass on XBox and there's plenty of Playstation players too. Just had a bi...

@gtxforza: A lot of those chords resonate deeply with me! Some I heard at home, others in school computer labs, others in design studio offices, but yeah, really evokes a lot of feelings. :)

Pretty epic thread necromancy here. I'll say Noita. Spiritual successor to Nethack in a lot of ways. One of those games like Fez and Tunic that you think you know what it is at the start, then as you ...

Loading Video...For me it's my childhood computer, the Mac IIsi.

I picked Samurai because I thought the starting loadout and armor set looked badass. Turns out Bleed is one of the most devastating status effects in the game and takes huge chunks off of any enemy's...

@berfunkle said:Any drug has the capacity to hurt you. Alcohol in excess is bad for you. It can give you cirrhosis of the liver. Caffeine can mess your heart up. I'm not up on the latest with weed, b...

When the going gets tough... quit! I support everyone else's encouraging messages to you here, and would caution that unless you want to bring additional financial stress to your domestic partnership,...

I use a Hario hand grinder, buy my beans a pound at a time, keep'em in the freezer, and use a Chemex with unbleached paper filters. Rinse the filter with boiling water (Hario gooseneck steel kettle o...

@rorie: It's patently ridiculous, how can they promise that with the absolute messy state of internet in the US and around the world? Really, everyone's got a 10ms ping hop to a Google data center? Pu...

It’s about slamming a Monster taking a shit and a shower then making some infrastructure.

I’ve definitely worn my Giant Bomb hat through TSA and on a plane. Just asserting my sigma energy.

For what it's worth, I highly enjoyed it, all the twists and turns and bizarre reveals, and I didn't do one single thing with the ARG. I see ARGs and I'm like, oh cool, they put an ARG in for those p...

I think he knows a thing or two about game development that remains true even in the modern era of day one patches, live service games and ongoing development. It's like in photography/cinema, the ol...

Did a two island run with Bombermechs, they’re very cool. It’s such a fun battle chess game. Someone said that it’s less compelling than FTL because there’s essentially very little randomness or RNG, ...

I mean, Apex is free to play and great. Fortnite is free to play, and people seem to like it alright. If Skate's mechanics are super solid, and they monetize via cosmetics, who cares? Always-online i...

Last movie I saw was Adieu Philippine, a 1962 film from French director Jacques Rozier. Very much in the vein of French New Wave, so of course it has some charming dance numbers, cute girls, hunky gu...

Final Fantasy Tactics has you going up against quite a few religious leaders with funny hats.
