I mean he's not wrong.
To be fair, I've spoken to a lot of adults who don't fully grasp what I do for a living either.

This GTA6 leak has been a firm reminder that a lot of people seem to have little to no practical idea about what goes into making a lot of things.
The fact that somebody leaked all this stuff is bad enough (it benefits nobody but the leaker looking to garner some clout), but watching people nitpick and criticize a product that is still obviously still deep in development and years from being ready for public consumption has been exhausting.

One of my favorite parts about Total Warhammer is that due to the varying ways the AI behaves, even running the same starting faction/location can result in very different games. You may have a strong opponent in one game that gets wiped out quickly before you even meet them in the next one.
This means who is friends with who can also be different, because you may find you have different neighbors depending on how things play out. And deciding who to be friends with, who to trade with,...

Splatoon 3 is a blast. When you can actually play a match.
It seems not even Nintendo was prepared for the massive success of the game, because I'd say one out of every three online matches I play ends early due to a disconnect.
Connection errors are running rampant, and while that's not unheard of in a wildly popular online game its first week, what's (not so) amusing is that Nintendo's system views this as rage-quitting a match. I've not gotten a ban yet, but the system has st...

I am so over these big "press events" with nothing real to show. If you want to get me hyped, show me why I should be hyped. If your game is so early in the pipeline that it doesn't even have a name yet, perhaps its too early for the whole dog and pony show.
This weekend's big "Ubisoft Forward Showcase" made such a big deal about what's happening with Assassin's Creed, and all they had were snippets of pre-rendered cutscenes, and in most cases, logos. For ga...
Comic for Friday 9/9 (Early High Res)
I thought I'd start the weekend by trying to rile everyone up in a debate. :)
Do you consider using a crosshair overlay (adding a center dot to your aim where the game doesn't include one) cheating?
Personally, I'd put this one in the cheating column. On the cheating scale, it's definitely one of the most benign cheats, (I'd argue it doesn't even provide much of an advantage), but it still constitutes using an outside method to gain an upper hand over other players.

I love me some Total Warhammer, you know this.
However it occurred to me yesterday, as I restarted my Ogre campaign from scratch, that I think I have restarted every campaign I have played in the franchise (at least in Mortal Empires/Immortal Empires; the "story" campaigns are usually small and straightforward enough that even if you fumble the early game, they're over before it matters).
While the basic mechanics are roughly the same for any faction, they each have some unique m...

I'm willing to admit, I sometimes catch myself thinking in gaming double standards as well.

Holy shit, it's finally happening. PS5's are just, like... in stock in some places. Just sitting there.
Crazy.

Immortal Empires has dropped for Total Warhammer 3, so that means a lot of late "one more turn" nights again.

I love Discord as an LFG tool for when I can't wrangle my friends for a game. In fact, some of my favorite people to game with are ones I originally met through LFG chat rooms for certain games.
But, I've seen the LFG sections go a little off the rails, too, in terms of what prerequisites people impose. Some of them I get, 18+, be casual or be sweaty, English or whatever; you want to let people know what sort of vibe you're looking for.
At some point I feel like it it starts gett...
