This is a (sadly small) list of studios and individuals who have vowed to not use genAI in their games. I can't say for sure it's every single studio because annoying articles don't get written about people who speak against AI, so I had to rely on social media.

Welp that'll be another year or so.

I was frustrated by the lack of articles listing every video game studio confirmed to be using AI, so I made my own.

Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff. If you like the idea, help out by upvoting, commenting, or even talking about us! Remember, click like and subscribe!

I didn't make this, and I didn't realize when I posted that this poor meme has been fried by AI (check out the woman's eyes, as others have pointed out). I don't know if it was part of the original or if someone tried to run it through a filter, but it does look rough. Sorry!

I played the game since 0.29 (released in August 2022) splatting hundreds of characters in all sorts of ways. One of them even touched the Orb but didn't live long enough to escape (ironically, it was another mountain dwarf). This run, I did something different: I actually started using my god's abilities in any viable situation.

Explanation: the leftmost character is mine who, upon seeing Mennas (the angel with a shield), a very dangerous opponent, used a special ability of its god Nemelex (a god specializing in world-bending playing cards) to draw 4 cards of summoning in one turn, bringing all kinds of friends to my side (all sprites in a green bubble are my allies).

This is in reference to them announcing that they're committing to one Silent Hill title a year.

Employees at Doom studio id Software have voted in favour of union representation with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), which has been recognised by Microsoft.

Tip: The token they ask for to reserve usernames is actually the query parameter in the email link

When going through the list by platforms, it will also list games that got relisted, though some lack the [RELISTED] tag but are being sold as packages with other similar games (Doom 1+2, Heretic+Hexen), as remasters only (Soul Reaver 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 2) or as a "final edition" with all updates and DLC as if it was a different game (Super Lucky's Tale, Street Fighter 4)

Hi everyone, recently I discovered a new indie tycoon game which is about flipping burgers. The devs are super responsive on Discord and add tons of new features and bugfixes every week. It also got positive reviews but only very few people have ever found this game and tried it out. That is why I would like to recommend it to you. A gameplay video is available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLScWiPlQ4o

Because let's be honest. Anyone who shotguns the Pinkertons, actual demons, and Nazis to death with no mercy to me is the holiest human in the land, unlike those "christians" who claim to be against those and yet consistently ally with them. 😤🙏✝️

note: I'm not arguing either are good/bad or better/worse than each other, I'm just saying that if I buy a 70 dollar multiplayer FPS I expect my bullets to actually work. its been 43 fucking days, DICE, fix your shit.

Game is the Blue Prince.

I think I'd have to go with SMW

The story:

Original here!

In a not-so-scientific benchmark conducted by YouTuber Cyber Dopamine, the Rog Xbox Ally managed to perform better without Windows, the operating system it ships with out of the box. Cyber installed Bazzite, a popular Linux distro for handhelds built specifically to offer that console-esque, seamless experience. Visually, Bazzite looks identical to SteamOS because it uses Steam's Big Picture Mode as its main launcher. It also behaves similarly, but has its own custom menus and settings for customizing things like power profiles (which override Asus' built-in ones).

It's actually funny how this all happened THIS October. Reinventing the wheel over and over doesn't work, people!

What could be the best way to replay one of your favorite games that you had trouble beating? Certainly the most exciting one will be... starting fresh and replaying it in the hardest difficulty?! Time for me to finally solve my issues or die trying with Metaphor ReFantazio Challenge Edition!

Excluded is the one month of IGN+ or whatever. This one actually seems kinda decent, if not for the fact I have no interest in the System Shock remake.

(Context: the Black Ops 7 Beta added separate playlists, one with connection based matchmaking and one with the traditional skill match. People are already complaining the connection based playlist is too sweaty lmao)

What would you do if you could Save your life like in a videogame, and then Load if something goes wrong? And what if that ability was the only way to save your universe from ending?

Quick background. My primary gaming is done on a Promox host running Wolf in a LXC. I use this combined with Moonlight to stream my games to various screens around the house. For on the go and couch gaming I use a Lenovo Legion Go running SteamOS. I also own a MacBook Pro.

(Also, bog off, Nintendo®, for paywalling The Mario®)

Chroma Squad is a fantastic turn-based RPG that is both a loving homage to the Power Rangers, but also an ingenious look at the production of a TV series. Rather than fighting evil as the Crayon Box of Justice, you instead play a manager of a new Super Sentai show hoping to become the greatest show on television. It's a formula that works fantastically.

...A group of investors including private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund could unveil a deal for the publisher best known for its sports games as soon as next week...

Starbreeze rolled out a new subscription service for Payday 2 DLC yesterday, which struck me as a pretty good deal: $5 per month for every piece of DLC currently available, and you can subscribe and cancel as you see fit. But the launch turned a less-than-flattering spotlight on another recent Payday 2 development: A significant increase in the price of the Infamous Collection, a bundle of all current Payday 2 DLC that players can buy outright.
