@Lorhin It is a crime of the upmost criminality

#MarvelRivals Hulk went down in a match and Invis Woman said "Hulk's down, guess we'll have to smash"

They absolutely know what they're doing with this stupid game :D

#MarvelRivals We're all in agreement that #JeffTheLandshark needs like 14 more costumes, right

#SouthOfMidnight is out. I picked it up but haven't dove in yet. Looks gorgeous though!

@alans I think it was the shriekers, including in GMs (I think it used to be a a GM?). I get the impression they're tough for a good portion of players to deal with, especially those who aren't good at taking cover

Updating some of my old #Destiny2 memes to get away from a toxic template. This one’s a bit of a deep cut though 😆

Good news everyone. Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to both Switch and Switch 2

@sarisiza All fair points. It might be worth noting that I'm turning into a bit of a Nintendo hater due to its anti-consumer practices and greed. So I have a... bit of a bias these days

@crapknocker I’ve never really understood the thought process that ‘modern Nintendo doesn’t compete with other game makers.’

Sure, for a long time Nintendo not just focused on kids, it deliberately avoided titles and studios that catered to older audiences. But that started eroding arguably with the Wii, inarguably with the Switch.

Now, Nintendo absolutely competes with every other platform on the market for eyeballs and playtime. Its doors are open for all manner of teen and most adult games. IMO, the fact it has a 1st party catalog of mostly all-ages games doesn’t change that.

Yes, and they’re the far better choice

Next bad question

Found my #Nintendo #Switch2 hate people. I am really growing to hate this company so, so much.

Finally made my #MarvelRivals tier list

The #Nintendo #Switch2 tech demo game IS PAID? SERIOUSLY?

As if I couldn’t sour enough on that greedy ass company, it keeps rolling out the hits for me

"Your #Destiny2 Fireteam Finder application was not accepted"

What? No! You can't fire me, I fired you!

@ChrisFerguson Yeah but stuff like shutting down tournaments, going after people for playing 30 year old games that can't even be bought anymore?

Shortsighted and just plain selfish business decisions

Being intentionally terrible at social features, refusing to add game chat to the original Switch and now acting like it's some amazing new feature 20+ years after it's been on the market?

Chiidish

This interview reminds me of the time #Helldivers2 players were able to unlock a new type of anti-tank mines if we completed a Major Order; basically missions the community must finish as a collective—defend this planet, kill X million bugs, save X civilians, etc.

We failed the mission once, failed it a second time, then on the third chance we had to choose between earning the anti-tank mines or saving a bunch of (fictional) sick kids in a hospital. We couldn’t do both

The community chose to save the kids over earning the anti-tank mines. Kids who did not exist. There was no carrot dangled for saving them, but we overwhelmingly chose that option. And won

Arrowhead then donated money to an IRL kids hospital. Heartwarming stuff

@ChrisFerguson Yeah, I just have a stick up my butt about Nintendo. I’ve really soured on it as a company over all the consumer hostile crap it pulls.

I like these #Helldivers2 folks at Arrowhead. Nice interview:

“I want us to be a role model for how to do sustainable growth, because the industry today is not in a good place. A lot of companies are shedding a lot of jobs. And it's not the people at the top that are losing their jobs, it's people who have moved half across the world to take jobs. And that’s because of bad growth decisions made by business leaders who have taken stupid risks.”

Nice #DoomTheDarkAges interview with Hugo Martin and Marty Stratton. I’ve enjoyed their approach to changing the core gameplay loop with each modern Doom, and Dark Ages looks so far like another winner to me.

“ #Nintendo #Switch2… Bringing New Forms of Game Communication to Life”

No. Nintendo finally got over its arrogant, sheltered pretentiousness just a little bit and finally added a 20+ year old chat feature to its next console
