Nobody Cares: Gaming Edition

[Free]

I missed this a couple of months ago but it's probably one of my favorite video game ads of all time.

Still not gonna buy a Switch though, I'm just saying this is amazing.

Hey great Satan of Redmond how about Flight Simulator?

I missed the announcement, the PS5 version releases December 8, with t-flight hotas support at launch. PSVR2 support comes in 2026.

“Okey Dokey, war, war never changes“.

While an anniversary edition is nice, even though I have the expansions and some of the CC content was included with the PS5 upgrade, where's our 3 and FV remasters Bethesda? 3 should have been ported to switch 1, years ago. And what about ports of 1 and 2 for console? And while you're at it, Starfield and a remaster of Morrowind for PS5, please.

There's a ton of CC content now so since I'm cheap (lol) I may buy the anniversary edition if it isn't insanely priced. I do like the change to allow more CC access but hate the fact that even installing a single mod from their own approved list disables the achievements in game. Srsly guis?
I suspect we will see a New Vegas remaster next year given how the series is focused on Vegas this year. I suspect you may never see 1 and 2 ported over as they were made by different studios and are probably tied up in contract/rights ownership hell. Not sure about Starfield as I never played it but was a bit surprised about the Outer Worlds 2 as the original was just kind of meh and short in playtime.

On a side note, yesterday I was hammering on my FO4 install that was always crashing with no errors on start up, has been for about a year. Not sure if this is what fixed it for win11 but apparently both the fallout4.exe and the fallout4launcher.exe need to be changed to always run as admin in their properties. So it works now, I was so happy even though I had no saves or mods loaded and then found out hey it's fallout day! lol. Now to peruse the nexus!

Been playing the hell out of Vintage Story lately! I recommend it to death. At first glance it looks like a minecraft clone, but is so much more involved and technical. I love it very much!

The battle to shoehorn AI into game development is here. (It's been here a while, but non-gaming publications are starting to notice.)

Inside the AI divide roiling video game giant Electronic Arts

The white-collar war over AI is getting ugly: 'When the dogs won't eat the dog food.'

www.businessinsider.com

A meme posted last month to a Slack channel for employees at Electronic Arts shows a cartoon man asking a trio of CEOs what they want. They answer in unison: "AI!" Then the man asks, "AI to do what?" The CEOs reply, "We don't know!" The man follows, "When do we want it?" The CEOs cheer again: "Right now!" Dozens of the video-game company's staff responded with crying laughing emojis.

The post and others like it seen by Business Insider provide a snapshot of a common, and roiling, divide between white-collar leaders and employees over the role AI should play in the workplace today. As companies from Microsoft to Shopify mandate and, in some cases, even track employees' usage of AI, many workers are concerned that using it creates more work for them, not less, and that they may be facilitating being replaced by the technology.

Guess which game got another delay? Right: GTA 6!

Call of Duty 7 Black Ops is...bad. Just bad. Thank Bob for the Steam Refund policy.

A new DLC was released for MechWarrior 5: Clans. Wolves of Tukayyid. Anyone who knows BattleTech, knows what's going to happen on Tukayyid. As they say in the Battletech community, the clans are going to "Get Focht".


And yes, that is the Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht himself, eyepatch and all. When that Ghost Bear says the Com Guard (Space AT&T/Comcast) are a bunch of "garrison units" I was thinking...he doesn't know what's coming for him. The Com Guard were basically garrison units who had nothing to do other than CONSTANTLY TRAIN and were equipped with some VERY NICE SLDF "Royal configuration" type mechs. The Royal mechs were the top of the line models during the original Star League. Focht had 50 mech regiments available at Tukayyid and a LOT MORE support regiments. Which is why what happened on Tukayyid is often referred to as "The Horrors of Tukayyid"

And yes, those are Ulric Kerensky, Ranna Kerensky and The Black Widow Natasha Kerensky herself. The Smoked Kitties lady in the Masakari wanting to get out of the trap, is saKhan Sarah Weaver. (Narrator: She did not get out of the trap.) "Smoked Kitties" are a nickname the fandom has given the Smoke Jaguars after what happened to them in Operation Bulldog and Task Force Serpent.

Interesting to hear how Tukayyid was pronounced. I mentally pronounced it "too-kay-id" not "too-ky-id". Pay your Phone Bill, Clanners! Get Focht!

A bit too tan?

She spends all her time in the Jungle. Outside.

Oh wait, no, that could be a fun mechanic. Naturally, Lara Croft is as white as snow, but if you take too long outside, she takes sunburn damage and turns red.

I saw comments saying she didn't look white/British enough.... some trolls are weird.
