    The factory prison is one of those suspension of belief arcs where you want to show how the empire has labor camps but you also want to show its ruthless pragmaticism in a scifi setting. In a universe where a kid can built a fully functional bipedal droid that requires basically nothing in terms...

    Andor

    Andor S1 is the best season 1 of any tv show ever made. It's almost wasted on the star wars universe where the ridiculous bullshit marrs the world building it tries to do.

    Crowfall

    Totally disappointed by this game. The MMO space needs more sandboxes and fewer theme parks and this had a lot of compelling ideas that they never could implement.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    For me it's not a marketing thing, it's a "support shit you want thing". If I found out that Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG) was cancelled, which I preordered about 5 seconds after it was announced, that they were going to stop accepting pre-orders and all the preorder money was gone for...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I've got no problem preordering for a game concept or company I like and want to support and encourage avid gamers to do the same. Blizzard and Diablo4 are the furthest from that.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I just re-upped for 3 months and bought the expansion. I'm rolling a new shadowknight and have a monthish to get them to NoS fighting shape to replace my warrior, a tall order given how little time I have to play. Going with shd, brd, sha, 3x mag. The lore in EQ is an indecipherable fever...

    I Iove this show. It almost feels wasted on the star wars IP. Like it's basically it's own thing that just happens to have tie fighters, storm troopers, etc. The prison scenes are great. A fascinating black mirror episode about a dystopian prison factory tucked into a space opera. The Mon...

    Witcher 3

    Yeah and since they're on unreal engine 5, it will be muuuch easier to support open modability. Would be great for the gaming community if game devs were more willing to open things up, especially if Epic reduced licensing fees if they opened up their art assets or code.

    Dante's Divine Comedy

    I'd love a rewrite of Dante's Divine Comedy that strikes a fantasy novel prose instead of poem. Something like The Hobbit, Moby Dick, Count of Monte Cristo or Don Quixote. Dante's Divine Comedy is such a huge part of western and literary culture but the consumption of its text is infeasible for...

    A key consideration is whether the immense cost of the JWST is related to constraints imposed by the launch systems when it was designed. I imagine few people could answer that with authority but my guess is that if they were given the massive size and weight budget that Starship could provide...

    Once Starship starts yeeting blue whale sides payloads into orbit, I can only imagine there will be a desire to start building relatively massive space telescopes (among other things) into space. The James Webb Space Telescope is like, 7% of Starship's payload to orbit mass. With refueling...

    Why do I feel like careful application of this form of leverage could save my life after a villain tries to slowly and sloppily throw me off a cliff?

    I'm loving this show. Feels like a very well written crime drama show in star wars. I still wish they made it in the mandoverse and explored the natural vacuum created by the empire's departure instead of as a rogue 1 prequel. Especially if it took a "maybe things were better with the empire...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Why did they out out a trailer with a temporary voiceover for mario just reading his lines? I bet they could bring Martinet in for half a day to redo the whole thing and still have time for a splatoon crossover dlc.

    I love that Unreal (Which I spend a lot of time developing in) makes it feasible for a solo dev to just yeet together a nice looking game. Premise looks similar to Kenshi, which I absolutely loved. Kenshi 2 is also in Unreal. Kenshi was in Ogre, which I have had the displeasure of developing in...

    I'm not part of Bezos sect. If Bezos could increase the productivity of his sect's workers by 10-100x by raising them from low-gold to true-gold through a modest cost, he would. In our universe, if Bezos invested in his hourly workers, it would increase their economic mobility and they'd either...

    I have to imagine that game art sill embrace ai art waaaaay more than any other art uses given how many game devs would love to mess around with ai and the barrier for entry is so low. I think for other competitions, ai will just be its own category.
