I played an On-Line Multi-Player First Person Shooting game today and when our team failed to capture the objective, somebody kept going on about santanoobs in the chat, which is a phrase I've never heard before, but he kept using it like it was a very common thing that everybody knew about.

I assume that's referring to the phenomenon where there's a bunch of new players online starting from Christmas? I've never heard that specific term before though.

It's kind of impressive how bad his art has gotten. Started off bad, eventually became good, and now it's just this sad mess.

Yeah I don't understand how his art somehow evolved into it being worse. I really don't like how the comic looks now.

I think the height of how Penny Arcade looked was around the mid 2000s. When it looked like this (incidentally this is also my favorite PA comic):

Move update, I was trying to redownload Baldur's Gate 3 (I had uninstalled it previously), and would download 60GB, then fail with "Corrupted Download". This happened on multiple drives, so it's something in Steam that was busted not a HD error likely).

Did research and it said to uninstall and reinstall Steam.

Then watched in horror as it uninstalled MY STEAM LIBRARY TOO.

Oh, this is literally 12 hours before the computer gets shut down, and won't have reliable internet for 1-2 weeks.

FUEL has one of the better GPS arrow overlay things I've seen. Looks especially nice in motion.



And you can toggle it with a single button.

The game feels ahead of its time in a number of ways. I didn't realize it was made by Asobo, the studio behind Flight Simulator and the ill fated Xbox One "Cloud" Crackdown (and A Plague Tale).

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

I'm about 4-5 hours into Tunic and while it's lovely to look at, it's not doing much for me. I get the impression that the game opens up in some way later on. Is that after several more hours of the game like it is now or does it start sooner?

I just fought a boss, rang the second bell,
and got an ice magic attack.

The best one is in King's Field/2 JP where the compass is a ball that rotates and has N E S W written on it. It's the best because every time you go eastward the orb looks like it says "SEX" and it makes me chuckle.

I dunno why they said it was a sentence because I went back and read the original article and it’s the whole thing. It’s also ridiculously scoldy and holier-than-thou. I get why it would annoy someone https://kotaku.com/magfest-discloses-dozens-of-covid-exposures-including-1848355840

It's mostly funny to me because Sessler posts this

https://twitter.com/AdamSessler/status/1611049806516072448

basically trying to bigleague them, meanwhile to most people Adam Sessler is just 'that dweeb from X-Play,' a show which I recently discovered didn't even really have the hosts play the games they reviewed. Instead, they just had interns write everything pretty much uncredited and you apparently had to 'earn' the right to play and write about the actual good games.

Kotaku is owned by G/O Media so it’s impossible for it to have any journalistic integrity. That whole company now is just getting all its sites to poo poo out weak-rear end outrage articles over nothingburgers. That article is exactly like ones modern AV Club runs constantly.
