Devolver MaxPass+ Non-Fuckwithable Tape

- SHIPS IN JULY - The lone physical copy of the 2021 Devolver MaxPass+ presentation gently recorded on a VHS tape with the tab violently torn out of it so your little brother or sister can’t record over it. Before this, it was used to record pornography. All proceeds from the sale of this...

oh geoff keihgley on stream just now saying teh T2 conference isn't gaming focused at all but on D&I instead
 
Those Pitchford were rough.... not only he was there, so much "you are amazing, no YOU are amazing".

Also.... teasing Homeworld 3 three times and not even showing concept art was just mean :(

When Vinny, Alex & Brad exited Giant Bomb I legit thought it was exactly this. A sort of career burnout.

Looking at how my own personal tastes have shifted wildly over the past few decades, I simply can't imagine being locked into covering mainstream gaming. It feels like it leaves no room for one's personal tastes to shift and evolve over time when you can rarely operate outside of the limited bounds pop-culture content.

And not only that, but also the churn of having to always be playing something new in order to have something fresh to say every week on podcasts. It sounds absolutely miserable and would suck all the joy out of the hobby if I were in their shoes.

Now obviously the guys went on to form Nextlander, so my original theory proved false. But it was an interesting thought exercise nonetheless. Most consider games-media coverage a dream job in a "just sit around all day playing games" kinda way. But to me it sounds more like a jail sentence.

I think its obvious that Nextlander is trying to be the "cozy streams" side of Giant Bomb that is incompatible with big growth targets and chasing huge views. Which is honestly the reason I want to watch Nextlander and Waypoint to a lesser extent over GB these days. Jeff G alone isn't interesting enough, and despite their plans for "cool new shows" with all these various creators, I don't really need that. The scrappy start-up crew of a few people is enough for me.

I certainly agree though that I would never want into games media for the exact reason you state. It isn't fun, its hell from my perspective.

From the Beasts of Maravilla Island Steam review : 'I received a copy and payment to play the game. But my opinions are 100% my own.'
Payment ? Ok, that's a new one to me. Not saying the game is bad because of that, but wut ?

Like anything else, you don't have to like the job to do it. Most people hate theirs so that's that.

Racing Sim is a very niche genre, so you won't see or hear much about it outside of a few hardcore racing sim forums.

I find the FH3 & 4 to be very therapeutic. Put on some instrumental music, turn off the in-game radio, and just drive around in the open-world while doing a bunch of races here and there.

I feel that the "no visible damage" mantra is damaging (*snicker) the appeal of racing sims, maybe even more from the enthusiast and hardcore racing fans angle.

All I think about when I see that steam page is this

Anyways been stuck playing Strive and HZD when I need a break from Strive. I've managed to get a few matches in when the lobby connections weren't shitting itself but it's pretty fun as a beginner to fighting games. I've ended up at around Floor 4-5 which feel right for my skill level and even played someone with 300 ping and it went great. It's a pretty amazing game. Amazing netcode, amazing soundtrack. Thinking of learning to play May now because of her character theme.
