Also, dunno where to post or talk about this, but you guys seen that Matrix 4 is in the works? All original cast too?
I mean, after the absolutely great sequel that Blade Runner 2049 was, I'm open minded, long as they dont do cgi fest like Revolutions.
Optimistic for a Matrix sequel?
Did you skip all the years since 1999?
Is Initial D worth watching?

we are going to space(?) baby!
Also it seems to me there are still plenty of AAA-indie coming out…
Like, I forgot to mention –I guess it’s still too far away– one of my top awaited indies is (the controversial) Last Night
It reminds me of Flashback and captures lots of imagery of a short story I had started to write when CPUs had 120Mhz, so this gets me particularly excited.External Content www.youtube.comContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.

I guess that many of the studios that made the games you mentioned @FMPONE have banked on the success and stepped up further, so they don’t feel like indies, at the same time there are so many releases that you hardly see any breakout stories unless they are heavily backed by publishers for marketing. I mean technically speaking stuff like A Plague Tale is indie and it’s a success –at least in terms of critique.
I fucking love Playdead.
The Last Night looks good but I haven’t heard much there in a while. I was about to buy A Plague Tale but that shit costs $45, lmfao
Quote from Radu9 hours ago, Radu said: What are some indies that you're nostalgic for?
I mostly remember being excited about indies a few years back with games like Beginner’s Guide, Her Story, Hotline: Miami 1 and 2 (amazing), Undertale (the second one didn’t do much for me), Limbo, Inside (is Playdead still working on anything?), and Campo Santo with Firewatch, that era. I guess the future could still be bright there, we will have to see how the Egypt game they’re making at Valve turns out. Hollow knight was amazing, I guess were lucky to get a sequel there. Cup head was OK, I probably didn’t love it as much as some people did.
It felt like we were seeing a really wide variety of new and different types of gameplay releases that was totally different from AAA but that still brought a lot of production values as well.
I remember when indie games were really exciting 
lamest era I can remember for a long, long time
I want to rewatch the original Gundam from the 70s but I'm afraid it won't hold up. I've seen some animation and it's pretty damn shaky. But I just love the original story...
Played the first few levels, can pretty much confirm it owns hard. It's like the dictionary definition of a good game.

If you're as confused as I was when I heard of this, cos I could swear this happened a few years ago already, after some digging seems like Nightdive Studios is currently working on a remake of the original System Shock AND oversaw the re-release of System Shock 2 in 2013, so I'm curious to see what this coming "Enhanced Edition" for SS2 will bring to the table. Even though SS remake was successfully backed at $1.3mil by more than 20k people, this is probably an attempt for them to make some extra cash with the IP, smart move.
The sequel is still happening and here's the teaser if you haven't' seen it yet, it's being developed by OtherSide Entertainment!
Do we know when the remake is coming out?
Since I now for some reason only watch animez I thought I’d rewatch Akira and Ghost in the Shell. I’d give them both about a 7-8 but what is interesting is how the films mirror each other. Akira was so kinetic and frenetic and smooth like water, whereas GITS felt really restrained and subdued. They both have these moments of insane violence, but it quickly fades into calm. It’s obvious that both cost a gazillion dollars to make (Akira especially just seems preposterously extravagant, every fucking frame and scene is a work of art). I didn’t really think the character designs in either fully worked for me, in Akira everybody looks the same and a little bit like a pig, in GITS everybody has these weirdo eye designs, but that’s actually kinda cool at the same time.
I can see myself watching them again and again because there’s so much visual detail in both.

yyyyep. That's why I filtered out most "GAMING NEWS!! $$$" youtubers. They just read Reddit, press record and ramble for as long as they can and try to stretch it to 10-14min, then fart that out every day. When they have an opinion, it's always in lockstep with the popular one, to validate their audience and preserve trust.
Doesn't matter much anymore when the initial steps for promoting a "AAA game" don't go well. They will pay all the beloved Youtuber/Streamer shills to play and say good things about the game, and people are gonna start thinking this is a good a deal. Usually it's difficult to detect (and that's the whole point), but other times...
Games now work the same way as any other marketable products. Companies can literally buy gamer's trust, and it works reliably because most people forget and don't think 2 steps ahead. We're kinda fucked honestly
It does seem like people are starting to react to this though, so there might be hope. Let's stay positive...
Remember, that post was reacting to a dumb IGN video, not a Call of Duty video. Most of the buzz I’ve seen around this game is actually very positive, people seem excited for it this time around.

Yeah; Apple is capitalism at its best and worst. They make fantastic, incredible products that have changed the world. The products also tend to be composed of rare earth minerals from crazy Chinese mines assembled in factories where, despite meager efforts to make life livable for the workers, people still run at fifth floor windows as if they’re on fire and giant vertical heights are like a cold tub of water; to such an extent that they had to install nets below the buildings.
It’s not easy to use this technology and be oblivious to the fact that it’s absolutely amazing and insane and of course can only exist through magnificent unseen cruelty. But that’s not an Apple thing, that’s a “life in the modern world” thing. When it all crumbles we can’t be too upset, this wasn’t ever going to be a stable foundation. Might as well rock the Air Pods while life is good, the writing is on the wall.
I'm impressed with wireless charging... the technology just gets more and more magical.

I had a pretty good experience with my 6 S plus which I only just now traded in for $80. Honestly can’t complain about Apple. No, I don’t intend on buying the stand for $999
Finally upgraded my phone after many many years to the iPhone XR. It’s the same old shit but it’s sooooo smooth! Faceid feels really futuristic too. Enjoying it so far !
