unlabelledView post →My only problem is the eternal roadblock: I didn't do PvP during a four month period 15 years ago, so I can never get this sword ever again. I can get every single mythic appearance and rare mount from any raid in the game still, but elite PvP items? Perish the thought.

unlabelledView post →Perish the naivety I'm about to say but: If AAA game companies invested in the real people that make their games (realistic hours, good pay, little to no crunch, nice benefits, better management) as opposed to... the gen AI-slop plagiarism tools, maybe... games would be better? Crazy, I know!

unlabelledView post →I think I might have just received the best academic gift: *Publish or Perish* - the game 🃏 it’s made (@maxhuibai.bsky.social) & tested by researchers #peer-reviewed & very fun to play with non-academic friends too („you can tell that you do this for a living“) 😅🌟 (not an ad, just a (peer) review) 👩🏫
unlabelledView post →There was a headline floating around here that level “admitted to using ai […] in new Layton game” which was referring to curious village remake (not even directly true btw) but obviously the average person would assume that would be NWOS. A game journalist being inflammatory?? Perish the thought

unlabelledView post →Sony no longer selling disks that don't actually have the game on it? Perish the thought!!!! Now before I get the "we should OWN the game" pile-on, I totally believe that even digital copies I buy should be mine BUT... You're only fooling yourself if you thought the game was actually on the disk.
