simple

FPS. I actually haven't liked a single MOBA before I tried Deadlock, I've always thought they were too punishing and needed tons of knowledge while combat was weirdly slow paced until the late game. Deadlock fixes these problems for me just by being always fun to play, and you can kind of get away with just following a popular build and shooting enemies without really understanding what you're doing.

We're approaching a cool cyberpunk future but can't even get wet streets with reflective purple neon signs 😔

Just wait 'till you get to gold stake

Someone really watched a show and thought "damn, this is the dark souls of anime"

It's not currently down, it seems to be deleted entirely. This was said on the Discord:

“Yesterday, gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure.

These words are my own. I don’t want to speak for anyone else here, so just remember that while reading.

Thank you to @everyone who has contributed code, documentation or issue reports to the project. Thank you all for following us throughout the development. I was able to learn a lot of really neat things about games that I love, enjoy them with renewed qualities and in unique circumstances, and I’m sure you all have experiences that are similarly special. I’m extending my own massive thanks to our moderation team, who have been here through some rough circumstances and always found ways to make light of it.”

They're just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can't imagine playing an RTS with a controller.

Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.

With his novel series starting and the Bumper Book of Magic finally about to drop it

He's still writing? I thought he retired a few weeks back.

Not every movie has to be a blockbuster, but it is very apparent that mid-scale movies have disappeared from the market. Usually now a movie is a 100+ million dollar behemoth that wants to take the entire box office, or a movie is a low budget straight to Netflix special that has a 5/10 average rating and nobody wants to talk about it.

All things considered, $20m isn't bad considering the series is at an all time low. The 2019 bombed hard and I can see why people are hesitant to invest in Hellboy after that. Godzilla Minus One had a ~$15M budget and that movie was very ambitious and well-done I think.

I don't know if there's a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster's thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.

So rather than say something like awesome I'd say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

This reminds me, I should really go watch The Northman. I watched and enjoyed The Witch & The Lighthouse but haven't gotten around to the third one.

Yeah there's a reason there hasn't been much interested in Xbone emulation, almost everything worth emulating has gotten PC ports over the years or is also on PS3 which does have a good emulator. Maybe if Sunset Overdrive was still a console exclusive I'd bother, but I guess this is cool for some peeps.
