BrowneePointz: it’s okay folks are going to see The Odyssey and learning the word Mentor comes from a dude’s Name Adam
TXC2: no it works
Thefluffiestguineapig: Mai needs real pants guys
TXC2: her alt has them, skin tight though
Aarek: @BrowneePointz gotta love the people going "man lazy ass writing named the mentor character Mentor."
Thefluffiestguineapig: Although she might become the most powerful character in the game with practical pants
BrowneePointz: imagine being such a good teacher your name becomes synonymous with teaching

Mr_Horrible: when the wifi becomes why-fi
Thefluffiestguineapig: UGH
offbeatwitch: turned the microwave on
spethycakes: @Thefluffiestguineapig The slightly longer answer is that I lived & went to university in Germany for a time, and the international sentiment towards Americans seems to be very much shared in Germany
AceGun_: that seemed... intentional...
Mr_Horrible:
was very convenient that it came in at the end of that round, yeah, but I will reserve judgement 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @spethycakes Which 99% of the time is correct, they were behaving like tourists
TXC2:
you'll do like I did, spend 2 hours on a Silksong boss, losing over and over, then do it in 2 trys today 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Which boss?
Mr_Horrible:
@TXC2 
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig the last Judge
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 First of all GREAT JOB second of all, yeah sounds about right
itira:
@TXC2 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this your first playthrough and have you seen anyone else play?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig itira thank you
BrowneePointz: @TXC2 there’s a Skong boss I spent 9+ hours on. rage quit, came back the next day and 1 tapped
spethycakes: @Thefluffiestguineapig very much agreed, as their peer (constant Fremdshamen)
Mr_Horrible: "I'll bet half of it"
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig first, and I watch a little of the talking sim play
Boopity: But consider: gambling
TXC2: BrowneePointz hah, nice
drizztnailo: PUT IT ALL ON BLACK
Mr_Horrible: "Today's lesson... Keep Gambling..."
Mr_Horrible: @drizztnailo LETITRIDE
DoctorHutch: having a billion trillion dollars would ruin money
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz Oh, I spent less time on Last Judge than other bosses
offbeatwitch: they got the signal jammer on lock

Invitare: "bringing our team closer together to it's easier to fire them all at the same time"

bringing the team closer together, so only the one sword of Damocles is needed
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Invitare Then they will just immediately go make their own studios!
EvilBadman:
Bascially 
Thefluffiestguineapig: And then the programmers can be made to clear out the cubicles so you can fire the janitors!
kingandcommoner: The games will happen! We'll use AI! You all love AI right?
TXC2: a thought I had today was how much are these layoffs caused by 1) "AI" and 2) the state of the US economy, rather then anything specific to the games industry.
EvilBadman: @TXC2 Seeing Disney just cut a bunch of jobs, def a little of A and B
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I think it is that and the snowball of things that also have been going on long term as well
Thefluffiestguineapig: I would argue that CEO insulation culture is also an overarching problem here
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh I wasn't saying you guys were saying that at all
TXC2: man thats gotta suck, being laidoff multiple times in a row
Decaped: There was an internationally focused article stating the jist of "Why are they laying off all their talent when they could be using that talent to make even more money?"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Or then not being able to be re-hired because you are higher level management in a creative capacity
Akaiatana: I did see Patreon just laid ooff 18% of their staff
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Decaped ^Yeah
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Akaiatana GDI
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig exactly
mtvcdm: At some point it dulls the senses
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think the companies are ABSOLUTELY trying to do that
Akaiatana: A friend got laid off after 15 years in this wave
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@Akaiatana I'm really sorry 
mtvcdm: Also, *is* that game coming out or is it getting cancelled before it can reach me, because of the layoffs
mtvcdm: I can no longer trust that a game is actually going to occur until it hits an actual store shelf
LordZarano: "News" is literally "new" but plural, that's its etymology
TXC2:
or gettin cancelled as a tax wrtie off
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mtvcdm Yeah, so the company trying to distract from the layoffs with that other news
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Cries quietly about Westworld
OldUncleDan: @LordZarano I always thought it was an acronym for the four cardinal directions.
ContingentCat: the news is what it is unfortunately
Thefluffiestguineapig: And I think that is a good angle to take
RockPusher: Checkpoint is a Bullshitometer

spurius: ME2, is the best, so it checks out, same with AC
OldUncleDan:
Super Mario Bros. 2, for example!
Mai_Andra: AssCreed 2 is still one of the best in the series
TXC2: there's a reason it's called "the difficult 3rd album"
EvilBadman: @spurius I dunno Brotherhood is better than AssCreed 2
spurius:
@EvilBadman brotherhood is the 2 ac 2, so it compunds
Akaiatana: Doomscrolling in a different way
EvilBadman: @spurius Ayyy
Mai_Andra: @EvilBadman Brotherhood felt like it regressed to a weird hybrid of 2 and 1. But it did also have some improvement.
TXC2: Brohood has the better QoL, 2 has the better story
NovahTalAura:
I think someone is describing Supernatural 
TXC2: NovahTalAura or Buffy
spurius: homeland had that trouble
Bruceski: Babylon 5 gets kudos for having a 5-season script plan and (mostly) managing to stick to it and just end.
EvilBadman:
That's why Breaking Bad is perfect
Akaiatana: Babylon 5 is a famously weird issue. They had a 5 year plan. They were told they were getting cancelled after season 4. They wrapped up, and then got renewed
Mai_Andra: Does Crusade count as "Babylon 5 Season 6"?
TXC2: spurius oh Gods it sure did
Mai_Andra: Actually, Babylon 5 season 5 fits this description...

NovahTalAura: Always another Fallout game in development. Question is if there is an actual idea for it
BusTed: damn
TXC2: our hated enemies at...
ThorSokar: Never mind the fact that they are both owned by the same parent company now, and both are probably missing a significant portion of their staff
TXC2: something Devolver would do

CaptainSpam: Wait, an opinion? Are you allowed to have one of those on the internet?
Plasterboard: @CaptainSpam Only if you announce it vociferously and die on that hill to any who challenge it.
RatherLargeToad: one of the odder takes on this that I’ve seen is that Nintendo used the money to give their employees a raise, and that’s somehow bad
Mai_Andra: You are allowed one opinion, it must be a hot take without context, and you are never allowed to change it.
Kazman20a: it will depend on if the tarrif was itemized
RatherLargeToad: Mass Torts being something you can advertise for investors is the worst
PipeSmokingOwl: yea because congress would never pass a law saying "no we are keeping all this"...never....

Decaped: there was also reporting that was mistaking an older raise they did with a raise they were going to do. So, I'm not sure which bit anyone is talking about.
RatherLargeToad: or MvC2
TXC2: you don't make a million dollars without accounting for a 20% cost difference
RatherLargeToad: Although I’m guessing Nintendo never specifically said it was due to tariffs, but more generic “market difficulties”, which makes a lawsuit difficult
LoadingReadyRun: @RatherLargeToad right
TXC2: RatherLargeToad yeah, that's gonna be their legally wiggle room
Boopity: Yay pedantry
RatherLargeToad: Is kind of similar to “I bought this a month ago and now it’s on sale. give me the difference”
Marvoleath: It definitely sucks, that the people who actually paid the tariffs did not get reimbursement. If only ppl could directly sue the orange-man instead
Decaped: The companies knowing they'll get the tarif money back though just makes the whole thing worse. The new contracts they knew were false, and to their benefit.

Boopity: Tbf I fully differentiate between "owning something digitally" and "owning something on a DRM platform"
RockPusher: The physicality of the artefact is a proxy for *control* of the artefact

Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher ^
TXC2: also have the media is one thing, having a media PLAYER is another
TXC2:
'cause the DVD drive on my PC does not work anymore
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't own a DVD player currently
Wolfstrike_NL: Nintendo also slapping 10 dollars extra on physical as of late
Thefluffiestguineapig: And you have to update from the digital download from the disk
ace_of_dragon037: my ciumpter dont have dvd drive and nether dose my mac laptop
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Wolfstrike_NL And don't they require developers to pay more to have a physical release?
Valhallan597: and they usually charge the same for phisical or digital
Boopity: @Wolfstrike_NL I remember back when digital was first becoming a thing, I thought that the whole point was that it can be cheaper than physical due to not needing the manufacturing and material cost
Mai_Andra: a photo of a warehouse full of LRR DVDs...
Wolfstrike_NL: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yea I believe so
Boopity: In a way, I would say this is the next step of the direction Nintendo already started with the Game card stuff for Switch 2
Thefluffiestguineapig: If people can, buying physical versions of digital only games is also a big statement from places like Fangamer
TXC2: yeah, this has been years in the making
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity Interesting and I hate it
ThorSokar: and it worked very very well
LoadingReadyRun: I wouldn't say Nintendo is really responsible. I think Sony and Nintendo are both responding to the same thing
RockPusher: The physical versus digital discourse unfortunately is playing into Sony's interests since it is distracting from the far far more important ownership and control issue.
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's the same conversation
ThorSokar: also the entire leadership of Sony has changed since then too
EvilBadman: It's "amusing" in retrospect that a lot of the stuff Xbox One got in their first presser is either coming to pass or has (e.g. consoles having multiple apps for video etc)
Invitare: "they're doing cross-platform"
Invitare: Nintendo:
RatherLargeToad: I’m not even sure the PlayStation devision had much of a say in the decision. Execs higher up is Sony saw $$$ with the difference between making discs or making lenses instead, and the decision was made for the PlayStation devision
ThorSokar: gotta do the rug-pull before the trend reverses!
Laserbeaks_Fury: I don't think the push to abandon physical isn't about saving money, it's about exerting more control over their product.
ContingentCat: @Laserbeaks_Fury definitely, a lot of the time it's more expensive but the book on my shelf isn't going anywhere without a fight
