Has anybody heard any news on the HDMI issue Valve has been working on? I really want one but I use my PC connected to my TV so HDMI is pretty necessary.

Language Jones is awesome. He covers linguistics, language learning and slang and he presents research in a really accessible way. He’s worth following even if you aren’t usually into language stuff.

Oh yeah I’m sure there will be something. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. But I’m curious to see what they do for navigation.

No minimap? Ugh.mt husband have played every Borderlands game together multiple times and that minimap is our saving grace. We are constantly splitting up to do different things or grab stuff and the map makes it so much easier to find one another. Will be a bit chaotic going without, maybe they will make it an option in coop or something.

I get why this was shuttered. I love Borderlands but can’t imagine an mmo of the series that I’d want to play.

But if it makes this hacker happy to pursue launching this service himself, more power to him I guess.

60% of the time, it works every time

Agreed. Such a fun game, animation is great and humor is cute and quirky.

Having seen what the film industry did to Borderlands, my expectations are at about zero for this.

Maybe since it’s a Sony game and Sony movie they will respect the story, but who knows…

Isn’t the multi-player immersive sim thing what Arcane was going for with Redfall? That one didn’t work out so well…

Yep, and I’m still never buying a Playstation. Not worth chasing exclusives when there are plenty of good games on PC.

Yep, happened to Arcane Austin. Redfall was a disaster because Bethesda couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that Arcane made (awesome) single player games and not MMOs. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself.

It’s hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?

Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.

$700?!? Are you freaking kidding? I’ll stick with my PC, thanks.

" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”

I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.

I would have fully supported a movie with Mister Torgue running around having adventures. Of course he would be played by John Cena in a mullet.

Good. I’m sick of seeing the “pet this cat” reviews at the top of the list. Hopefully this changes some of that stuff.

“If we expect all games to attract players indefinitely, Buckley says, ‘we’re just going to get more of these really soulless live service games that come out and get shut down nine months later, 12 months later, because they’re not making enough money.’”

We need more developers talking like this.

Same. I’m a little surprised it took them so long to build out a 4-player coop mode. Would have expected that with OMD3

Gaming historian did a really interesting documentary on Oregon Trail. Definitely recommend checking it out

Yeah, but the non-tech savvy business leaders see they can generate code with AI and think ‘why do I need a developer if I have this AI?’ and have no idea whether the code it produces is right or not. This stat should be shared broadly so leaders don’t overestimate the capability and fire people they will desperately need.
