Valve, an American company, shouldn't get the complete pass they do for discriminating against American customers. Charging people significantly less just because of where they live is discrimination, simple as. If Valve was a brick & mortar store they'd have been sued by now for it.

Dagoth Ur Narrator for Baldur's Gate 3, boys.

It's not Dagoth Ur unless he's being offhandedly racist against farm tools.

i recall when muricans were paying 400 usd for 1070 i would have to pay almost 900 usd
the waggie wage was like 400 usd monthly back then

so i guess prices are like 2x higher and wages are like 4x lower; the same result tho

as for gas its obviously true and part of jew plan to implode eurokukzone

New Silent Hill lore just dropped.

It took 4 Western developers to shit out this digital tragey.

Bad Robot Games is a video game studio founded by (((J.J. Abrams))), serving as a division of Bad Robot Productions.[1] They created the art direction, monster design, and sound design for the interactive streaming series Silent Hill: Ascension.

Behaviour Interactive is a Canandian game developer based in Montréal, known for creating Dead by Daylight and Deathgarden. They were the studio behind Dead by Daylight: Chapter XVI - Silent Hill, a crossover with Dead by Daylight in which Heather Mason (following the events of Silent Hill 3) is summoned to an alternate realm and confronts her survivor's guilt through Pyramid Head.

DJ2 Entertainment is a film and television company specializing in the production of video game adaptations.[1] Their filmography includes Sonic the Hedgehog and upcoming media based on Little Nightmares, Tomb Raider. and It Takes Two.[2] They were attached to Silent Hill: Ascension, until creative lead Stephan Bugaj began working for Genvid Technologies on the project directly.

Genvid Technologies is a media company specializing in massively interactive live events (MILEs), seeking to amalgamate the experience of broadcast television with the interactivity of video games.[1] In 2022, they developed The Walking Dead: Last Mile, a part game/part television series in which players interacted with the characters in a real time world through mini-games that built up "influence points" as currency to impact the course of the story.

It's amazing that this is where people choose to draw the line.
"nooo not the heckin artist-arinos!!!!"

So, not going to play any roguelikes because they substitute a level designer with algorithms?
Going to continue reviewing games that mass outsource labor to cheap asian countries and have by far put more artists out of work than AI has?

I like that he says it's ok to have a little bit of AI art in the game. Sounds like a bit of preemptive face saving in case he accidentally features a game with AI art, because his type is supposed to automatically identify it by the lack of soul in the brick texture or whatever.

Sorta like the people who complain about CGI when they only notice bad CGI, because 80% of every movie is just CGI now but they can't tell.

Why does everything always have to grow? There can be a nice equilibrium instead, but that's never enough for these fucks.

I hated Kojimbob taking over the series with PT, since I never found his narcissism palatable. But this is so much worse.

What did SWTOR mean by this?

[gerey]

I know they will do something to ruin it for me (like the Manor Lords devs did) but for now I am experiencing something akin to happiness.

[Acrux]

(like the Manor Lords did)

Uh oh - what did Manor Lords do?

Rusty posted it in another thread, but they cucked out and removed the churches. You can't build them in the game.
