I heard many studios also use IDEs, which make programming more efficient, thus cutting jobs.

I didn’t know Game of Thrones was still big in Australia.

Came here to write Zork.

Finally, a concise headline.

Leave your phone at your alibi location.

DUN
AWAKENIN

That’s all well and good until someone comes along and starts selling an 18-blade fan.

Thanks! Please smash the like button and follow my account for more like this.

“detrimental” was definitely not the word they should have used. What would be a better word there? Comment below. It helps me keep bringing you great comments.

Go ahead and say “white.” You mocked the idea they’re Asian but then replaced it with an ideology and a nationality. You think they’re white, right?

This shit is blowing up!

So until Japan does that, everything they do or say is not newsworthy?

Something something corporations capitalism consumerism

Not sure if it was, but this sure sounds like what you would name a knock-off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But the time had been earmarked! Earmarked, I say!

It is of course better that Elden Ring Nightreign suffers server issues now than when it launches in May, but players who had earmarked time to try out the game now have expressed their frustration. Hopefully subsequent play sessions will run more smoothly.

Homes would be cleaner, romances would blossom, and the value of Frito-Lay would nosedive?

Company makes product that a lot of people want but doesn’t make enough to meet demand.

Bad company! Should go out of business and not make any of the product people want.

So did Kim Kardashian.

Thanks for the context. Guess I never read that crap.

Is “so back” in the title supposed to be interpreted as a hip slang phrase?

They did this in Free City, and one of the bank tellers became indistinguishable from a player.

You could read the article to learn more.

It’s not a digital rapе whistle. WUPHF is about fun. Fun, communication, connection.

Needs to include “I have no friends, my family are all horrible, and people of the opposite sex don’t pay me any attention” to get closer to average.

That would be immediately banned in China.

Being cartoonish reduces your hit box size.

Next you’ll be telling me the wind turbines in the game cause cancer.

Oh, so you support genocide?

Great. More fossil fuels destroying the climate and putting billions of people at risk of poverty and displacement.

And don’t get me started on electronic Monopoly!

Well, now that you fixed the typo my joke is even less obvious.

It’s a ripoff of Worshippers of Cthulhu, in my opinion. I’m astonished they’re releasing both games at practically the same time.

I’m getting 0 fps.

Are analogies using A.A. Milne characters OK for describing the game?

Don’t forget “get the girl.”

Do people protest brick and mortar stores for having high priced items or do they not buy the items / shop in other stores?

Dr. Pavlov says eventually you will stop doing that on your own.

“Starting with Studios, the $400 million+ year-over-year decline during Q1 was primarily due to the very tough comp we faced in games against the success of Hogwart’s Legacy last year in the first quarter, in conjunction with the disappointing Suicide Squad release this past quarter, which we impaired, leading to a $200 million impact to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) during the first quarter,” CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said during the investor call after the report was published.

This doesn’t line up at all with what Insider Gaming wrote. I don’t think they know how to interpret company financials.

Costing revenue itself is a questionable phrase. A game can miss its revenue target, but that’s not the same thing. Here it looks like earnings were lower by $200M due in part to more than $400M lower revenue comparing to a Q1 2023, which had the Hogwarts Legacy release.

In Idiocracy, the future idiots used homophobic slurs to describe intelligent people who spoke with a sophisticated vocabulary.
