Overall the gameplay is much better and it's incomprehensibly prettier (after I was done I wanted more web-slinging and went back to SM1 Remastered and my immediate reaction was "holy poo poo, this is ugly"), but the story is cut way down and there's a lot less side activities.

That's surprising to hear. I figured having two spidermen and getting Venom and Norman in there would give them plenty of material. Is Miles story content better this time at least? I found his solo game very lacking

playing the tribes 3 playtest right now its literally just ascend ported to a newer version of ue and 5v5 for asinine reasons. the 5v5 mode is intensely boring esports bullshit as expected but they also have a halfassed hacked together 12v12 mode hidden in the menus thats a bit closer to what tribes is supposed to be. if they simply give up on all of their dumbass ideas and make a new tribes game it will be okay

she is a significantly immunocompromised puerto rican woman who started streaming to like 10-20 people for a while before vtubers were a big thing, losing her career as an opera singer to CVID(not COVID), and decided if she couldn't go anywhere anymore due to her poo poo immune system, she'd start streaming instead. she built her community from the ground up, and has done a lot of charity work and support for smaller creators over the years until she absolutely took the gently caress off in the last couple years. I honestly thought People Make Games would take that award since they do good work too, but I'm happy she won it. She's done a lot for someone who up until relatively recently was confined to a hospital bed, and can now get around with help, thanks to her success she is able to afford all the medical care necessary now.

imo the idea of a "vtuber" is perfect for someone disabled like her. she is crazy strong-willed and downright inspirational, regardless of if you enjoy her content or not, she's talked about how dark the places she'd gotten to during the worst parts of her illness had been. to see her now, it's impressive as hell. I loved her reasoning for streaming, too. "I was stuck in a hospital bed and I've got a computer. what the hell else was I gonna do with my time?"

e: also thanks to being able to afford good medical treatment, she has healed enough and her voice has recovered enough that she can once again hit parts of her register that were inaccessible due to damage from getting seriously ill repeatedly. she used to have trouble finishing this song years back, and now, well:

her story is just really wonderful.

sean murray has earned more than a little leeway with me with how much they've done to No Man's Sky. I haven't played it in a while but I played a SHITLOAD of it through the vehicle and base building updates, and I can only imagine it's gotten way more robust in almost every way since. The new game looks nice, and even if it's a broken buggy mess like NMS originally was, it's a team that I honestly have ironclad faith in putting in the work to get it right eventually. I don't think they need to rush it out the door like with NMS so I'm much more interested in this new one. though I'm not entirely up for the multiplayer aspect of it.

starfield left me with a strong distaste for procgen landscapes, so the light no fire trailer was honestly a little stomach-turning

(but now that i think about it, that might have more to do with how sick I was at the time. I was basically delirious. because of the flu, not starfield (I think). but the association stuck.)

i actually can't even begin to fathom why they went through with it beyond hoping that they could trick enough people with it on their wishlist to buy, play for 2 hours, and be unable to refund

the Finals released today.
it's some kinda f2p shooter game.
all I know about it is people were clowning on it in beta for using pretty bad AI voices for its in-match announcers
and then the devs came in and said "no those aren't placeholders we are totally keeping them for the full game the ai is great"
