That kid sneaking on stage is...something alright. The From guys probably assumed he was part of the event and the event guys probably assumed he was the kid of one of the From guys (despite being an entirely different ethnicity).

Reminds me of situations where groups would have a big meetup at a bar and there'd be a bunch of people who don't know each other, and a random guy could sidle in without much trouble (since the various groups would just assume he was with one of the others). If anyone notices him, he could just say he was "Mike's friend" and probably slip by. I've actually seen guys try to attempt things like this and eventually be found out. I'd wager that most of the time, nobody notices. And if anyone does, they probably won't say anything because they don't want to commit a faux pas.

In any case, I found the whole thing interesting obviously. Though I do think it's good that the kid wasn't someone armed or dangerous, because he was standing right behind Hidetaka Miyazaki for several minutes. People make light of it as being funny, but it was a major security failure.

So this is kind of amusing. One of the more active fediverse server coders has discovered how to bring the miiverse posts out of the nintendo ecosystem into the broader fediverse ecosystem. I expect a sternly worded letter from nintendo is headed his way, but it's pretty amazing.

Chris Pratt Mario concept. lol



they couldn't even use the mario music? what's the point of being able to run to the sides, so you can fall off? the enemies shouldn't just disappear when you hit them with the star, they should be knocked off the sides.

High on Life looks absolutely hilarious. Watching a stream and there was this whole fucked up quest/puzzle to let a dude shit in his best friends face/mouth and the dialogue had me rolling.

Per video description: "With zero game development experience, I'm learning unreal engine from scratch and picking up any other skills that I can along the way"

It's just some dude fucking around for edutainment, not a serious project.

Did Amazon not watch WOT??

This is how you know how far God of War has fallen.

Instead of the Spatacus style epic would SHOULD get we will get some woke coming of age story and the only tits you might see will be on the tranny god.

So...they're gonna recast Kratos and his son as a strong female character and her strong female daughter?

I'm already amazed enough to have a high-profile story about a father and son at this moment in time without any women being shoehorned in as co-protagonist. It's just a dad/son and their bond. That's pretty cool.

Yeah I made the same joke somewhere else. A beautiful story about Kratosa bonding with her precocious daughter Atreusina.

*edit*

Maybe Fergus and Ostby's influence will overpower Judkins though.

It's really disappointing seeing these game/book shows that should be amazing get ran into the ground by politics. So much potential and money wasted, I just want shit to be as good as Edgerunners.

Game and Book shows/movies were getting run into the ground by incompetence, long before they tried to be political. None of these studios and their show runners give two shits about the IP's.

I agree but we had some bangers and I was hoping the trend would continue, now we are back to running them into a ground for a NEW reason.
