How does "finding out I got fired via twitter" even happen more than once? Do these companies just tell their PR teams they're shutting down and no one else? It's so brazenly lovely!

I mainly watched Cinamatech, Cheat, Filter, Icons, and sometimes Judgement Day, most of the other stuff I found grating

It's so brazenly lovely! normally i'd say "coarse indifference" but, given that they were apparently a-okay with paying content creators $50k a day, i think rank incompetence is a definite possibility

Gaius Marius posted:Code Monkeys I don't remember this, I wonder if it aged well quote:Black Steve (voiced by Tony Strickland) — Black Steve is GameaVision's accountant and, as his nickname would imply, he is the only black person working at the company. He is foul-mouthed, ill-tempered and racist against white people. Despite his position, Black Steve has contributed games to the company, mostly themed to his prejudice towards white people. He is apparently fluent in Japanese and conversational Arabic. He is also a former pro wrestler known as "The Black Shadow" as well as graduate of Dartmouth. Though bigoted towards whites, Black Steve does coexist with his co-workers and even has garnered Larrity's respect due to his violent temper and love of guns. oh cool

It's so brazenly lovely! They drop an internal announcement at a time most employees aren’t paying attention. One person does see it and copies it to Twitter. Then the media reports on it. The rest of the staff may not have checked their work messages before learning about it from one of those places. haveblue fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Oct 17, 2022 |

PunkBoy posted:I love both Mirror's Edge and Catalyst. Catalyst suffers a lot from mid 2010s AAA bloat, but running around the city was a ton of fun. Catalyst also had a really cool combat system that encouraged keeping up speed and momentum, and it would be great to see another game incorporate those mechanics. But really, I want another Mirror's Edge game, but I don't think it'll ever happen again. I would kill for a 3rd Mirror's Edge game. Titanfall 3 and Mirror's Edge 3 are my most wanted titles and it's not really all that close. TheWorldsaStage posted:poo poo I missed Mirror's Edge talk? Adored that game and I'm Still Alive still comes into my head unbeckoned at least once a month. Catalyst doesn't have as catchy a main theme, but overall its soundtrack is far stronger. My favorite game soundtrack, 5 hours of bliss. Here's one of my favorite tracks, I've listened to it actively and passively prolly thousands of time by this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaqzZiF8CH8

AceOfFlames posted:Found VG's Halloween costume This is fantastic.  I beat Inscryption yesterday. Wild time and a LOT of fun. I have an appreciation for deck building games now. I wonder if I own any more somehow and can give them a try. Also it is really nice to be playing banger after banger after banger. This year has been stacked - every game I have beaten, except 1, is at least 10/10 which renders the whole scale off the charts.

VideoGames posted:This is fantastic. The thing about Inscryption is that, like Pony Island, you walk away with a bitter sweet feeling of knowing there is absolutely nothing else quite like it, it kind of holds its own spot. You said FF X-2 next year? I'm counting the days Jay Rust posted:Well. That’s impressive Or insanity, or incredibly low standards when it comes to that specific horror niche. Maybe both. Downpour had a cool Silent Hill proper. Homecoming had the Scarlet level. Idk a couple of them aren't quality games but I love them.

TheWorldsaStage posted:You said FF X-2 next year? I'm counting the days Absolutely yes. FFX-2, FFXII and FFVI are all next year. In fact, next is Symphony of the Night, then Wind Waker and I think that takes me to the end of the year. I am not sure. I have a whole mega huge list of games and I wish I could play them all now. This year being a jRPG and Zelda revelation has been extremely pleasant to me.

I bought Skyward Sword, and I still haven't played it, and I didn't play it previously when it was first released on the Wii I should probably play it at some point

I was going to make a "VG is basically just Bad Cop from Lego Movie when he's angry" post, but then I remember halfway through photoshopping this up that this is actually Bad Cop putting his Good Cop face back on - and the analogy didn't work Anyway have this monstrosity

I have beaten the Act 1 boss and gotten to the Act 2 boss as the silent. I have managed to get near to the Act 3 boss as the defect, which is the character I am best at. I guess I am the defect If I were no longer using Avatars related to the game I am playing, this would be amazing to use

While I cannot recommend any video game related deck builders, if you're in the market for a push-your-luck cauldron builder I can whole heartedly recommend Quacks of Quedlinburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03eoXKp7L7M It's one of very few games I have ~blinged out~ completely, putting all the chits into coin capsules. Genuinely one of the favourite games I own

It did make me check to see if I had it on steam and I do have an MTG card game of some kind. I will have to do a double check to find out exactly what it is and if it still works.

Some of the players they talk about in the local TCG scene seem so insanely toxic
