It’s weird how Microsoft owns like half of all the game studios now and there was not a single announcement from any of them.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

If all of Microsoft's studios just bleed money from them for 10 years and never release any games, more power to them.

Microsoft don’t necessarily care about if they make games as long as they’re not releasing them on other platforms

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

New Armored Core by From Software ... I've never played that franchise but robots are cool.

There are one or two not so good armored cores but in general it’s a pretty good franchise. I’m excited to see what ideas they’ve gotten in the many years since the last one.

they tied all their big franchises up with live service games that they didn't maintain as a live service. idk what's going on with the other ones. Bethesda is gonna release starfield in like 2028 probably or some poo poo and it's gonna suck but everyone will pretend to like it for a year in the games subforum and we'll have a 40,000 page mod thread where people argue about what makes a mod cringe or not. the inevitable doom sequel will actually mail you a cease and desist if you try to experiment or explore for too long this time.

So where all the translators Japanese Americans? They all seemed to have American accents.

Most people in Japan who become proficient in English as a second language will have American accents. This what most Japanese job offers that leverage English want, and also where the bulk of learning resources hail from (both in terms of recorded learning material, and actual teachers). You will occasionally have Japanese people who are proficient English speakers but have another accent like a British accent, but that usually requires a unique set of circumstances (e.g. moved to the UK when they were 12 due to family work and didn't return to live in Japan until adulthood). Japan is also a bit weird in some regions, like there are major US military bases in Japan and there are some areas that can be surprisingly close to American military towns as a result. I spent New Year's in Hiroshima back in I think 2007, at a club that catered heavily to the US soldiers stationed there. You would legit not know you were in Japan from inside the club, the patrons were almost all Americans speaking American English.

Most language learning has some form of regional bias, e.g. if you're learning French you're going to learn Parisian French and have a hell of a time in Quebec as a result. For English this is a bit regional I think (I believe English learning in Africa is more British English-oriented), but in Japan and I think most of Southeast Asia it's very US English-focused. For learning Japanese there's also a very weird quirk where most Japanese language teachers are women. This gets further exacerbated for guys who get Japanese girlfriends and start learning to speak Japanese through them. There's a lot of gendered language in Japanese that's kind of subtle and not really covered in formal JSL learning, so it's not uncommon for guys learning Japanese to reach a point where their Japanese is "good" but they speak like a dainty lady and don't realize it.

Makes me think of all of those GTA clones from the early '00s like True Crime and stuff. I honestly thought it was Volition going "Okay, here's Saint's Row for real, sorry" until I saw the title.

Michael Madsen was not in great shape for that presentation.

I don't understand how a game like that just appears out of nowhere with a release date in 3 months. No actual gameplay footage. But it obviously wasn't cheap.
