This is similar to a thought I've had before, in that Pokemon should probably just stop making new Pokemon. It occurred to me during Dexit. With Dexit, both sides were pretty much right. One hand, much of the brand identity is lost when you cannot 'catch them all.' On the other hand, continuing to design, model, animate and code 100~ new mons every year is unfeasible.

And to what end are we adding 100 new mons to the roster every year? Pokemon has wallowed in recreating the same experience for decades now. Three starters, early route rodent, three legendaries, a super duper legendary, some dragons and fish along the way - IMO, ~1,000 mons is a great stopping point. From there they should have just reshuffled mons and leaned on regional variants, and added maybe 2-3 new mons for special occasions.

Had they done that, no dexit, and maintaining a competitive scene in their showdown clone would be a reasonable request.

Do Iranians have limited access to internet? Or is it all turned off? When we do get videos like this one, how is it reaching us? Some sort of Telegram channel I imagine.

You can’t just call an entire unit who is fighting and dying defending their country “Nazis” because of a shitty orgin story.

Oh, that's gross. The depravity of American capital surprised me for the first time in a while.

they get to feel special and like they have exclusive rights to speak on an issue, they're also generally uneducated westerners who have nothing to say but bloodlust and star wars plots

THAT BEING SAID THIS IS REALLY COOL.

I don’t want to fear monger in general because this is neat as hell and I love to see big copy protection schemes fall.

With you 100%, I'm not sure I'll ever be bothered enough to fuck around with this hypervisor stuff to play like, NBA 2K26, but it's extremely exciting to me that Denuvo is getting more holes poked into it. I felt a sort of impotent anger over fellow pirates singing the 'age of piracy is over!!' because Denuvo came out on like, 2% of released games that year.

Importantly, for me, it represents a return to a baseline in piracy. The ability to access art regardless of your disposable income. That baseline is coming back, baby!

“We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” ZA/UM head Denis Havel said in a news release (via IGN).

Was Star Trek: Resurgence Good or Slop? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I love Telltale and Telltale-adjacent games. Those narrative games where you sit back and choose dialogue options and action choices instead of actively playing.

I think a lot of those types of games miss that you have to tell a really good story for any of that to work.

Star Trek: Resurgence looks pretty good, but did anyone here play it? Is it actually good? Or is it Star Trek-flavored slop?

The Jakarta Method left me feeling raw af (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I just finished the Jakarta Method and it left me genuinely dismayed. Not like, astounded with how horrible it all was (I knew it was going to be horrible), but more, it made me put the book down and sit with my feelings of dismay. A little bit nauseous, unsettled, feeling a loss of hope for a lot of ideals I hold.

What a horrible period of history, in a century absolutely full of horrible periods.

Bummed out about Civ VII (lemmygrad.ml)
 

That's all. Played Civ since IV and the boardgame-like nature of it meant that I've gotten a lot of friends and family into it as a means to experience video games in general.

Civ VII looks really bad, even if I haven't played it myself. Systems upon systems that aren't properly explained, that somehow feel both cluttered and less in-depth than previous entries. Three truncated games making up the segments of one larger game is lame, too. A bad solution to the problem of people burning out in the later eras.

Most of all, though, is the business model of it all. Civ already leaned into 4X DLC conventions which meant getting the whole package was an expensive endeavor, but at least, for example, Civ VI had just two major expansion packs. Civ VII is already drowning into microtransaction leader purchases.

And then there's, just, the price. It's obscene. Denuvo is devastating to see as it creates a lot of barriers to giving the thing a try. I don't get excited for games any more, but Civ VII would have been one of them.

Anyone try it themselves? Anyone in love? Anyone feel like me?
