    Congratulations America! You did it!

    Turns out losing a pointless war and destroying global trade markets costs a lot of money, who'da thunk?

    'The Fire’s Edge', a new DLC for 'Darkest Dungeon', gets release trailer

    Seems well-received (available on Steam as of yesterday), they probably should've just kept adding to Darkest Dungeon in the first place instead of taking a risk on something as drastically different as DD2.

    Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

    Hell, it sucks even compared to LCD Switch 1 models. I think the OLED model will barely move the needle on the abysmal battery life too. They might as well have just made it a home console and put in a little extra horsepower instead of a screen.

    GameStop CEO says Sony's decision to go disc-less is 'totally irrelevant' — claims physical discs account for only 12% of the revenue

    Well yeah, GameStop made themselves irrelevant to the used game market long ago. Used prices too high, trade-in offers too low.

    Stop Updating: AMD will use Vibecoding for Slop Software Development

    There are plenty of distros taking a hardline anti-AI stance, but even those willing to accept some AI code I'd trust to better and more thoroughly vet it than Microsoft.

    Stop Updating: AMD will use Vibecoding for Slop Software Development

    Mint has been my favorite for everything non-gaming, super easy to learn and adapt to coming from Windows. Have that running on my media server mini PC and old Lenovo laptop. Then there's my DIY Steam Machine and Steam Deck, both of course on SteamOS.

    Stop Updating: AMD will use Vibecoding for Slop Software Development

    Can't wait to go 100% Linux, pretty much the only thing keeping my main rig on Win10 for the moment is gonna be Marvel Tokon's anti-cheat. Valve-issued Nvidia drivers would also be nice, but not a requirement.

    Stop Updating: AMD will use Vibecoding for Slop Software Development

    Windows 11 is a mess, and it's much harder for human coders to fix everything AI broke after the fact, which is why every new update fixes one thing and breaks ten others. The type of company to allow AI coding is the same type that's gonna be all-in on it and not put up any guardrails. It's...

    Nintendo Direct announced for the 4th of August, set to feature 20 minutes of the new Fire Emblem game

    Yep, and to be fair not every Fire Emblem game is a banger, but people choose to hate something before even being able to judge it on its own merits. With no nuance and for no reason.

    The AI Bubble burst

    It's just barely starting to burst, but this was inevitable. AI is worth only a little more than the cost of hardware needed to host it, and the wealthy bet that its value would rival that of the entire world economy. Idiocy to the nth degree.

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    Not necessarily, there were already a ton of turn-based Pokemon-likes available before Palworld entered early access, and none of them captured an audience even half as big. RPG is a genre that casts a very wide net now, and Palworld has plenty of RPG elements despite having survival-crafting...

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    Correct, people have been waiting for the Pokemon games to do something, anything different or interesting for decades. They finally got about halfway there with Legends Arceus' concept and then for some reason decided to take a huge step backward with Legends Z-A. Mainline games are even...

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but it's hit nearly a million concurrent players at its peak since 1.0 launched, and that's only on Steam. It's several orders of magnitude better than Legends Z-A, GameFreak is gonna have to do something really interesting/different with Winds and Waves if they...
