I just got approval to say this.

I worked on Dragon Age: The Veilguard!!!

I've been sat on this secret for nearly four years, and I am so excited to FINALLY be able to tell everyone I'm in the credits!

Thank you so much to @PatrickWeekes for reaching out to get me involved.

Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Denounces Nazis With In-Game Statement https://t.co/bFFwA4hKcf pic.twitter.com/PehvhtcGbD

— GameSpot (@GameSpot) October 29, 2024

"The story and contents of this game are not intended to and should not be construed in any way to condone, glorify, or endorse the beliefs, ideologies, events, actions, persons, or behavior of the Nazi and fascist regimes, nor any other regimes or to trivialize any war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity."

i was really wondering how bethesda felt about this. they made a game where you shoot nazis, so it's a good thing they cleared this up. it was very vague and hard to tell if nazis were bad or not.

This statement comes amidst a resurgence in neo-Nazi activity, in both Europe and in America.

i wonder if that resurgence of neo-nazi activity in america means trump exists because where the frick is this RESURGENCE OF NEO-NAZI ACITIVTY?

When a North Carolina man headed to a convenience store on Tuesday, he had no idea luck was on his side.

Jerry Hicks, a master carpenter from Banner Elk, found a $20 bill in the parking lot of the store, he said in a news release. He spent it on a scratch-off lottery ticket – and won $1 million.

Hicks used the money to buy an Extreme Cash scratch-off, according to the release.

"They actually didn't have the ticket I was looking for so I bought that one instead," he said.

Hicks claimed his prize on Friday at the North Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters. He chose to receive the prize as a lump sum of $600,000 instead of as an annuity over 20 years, according to the release.

After taxes, Hicks took home $429,007, according to the lottery.

Hicks plans to use the money to help his children and retire as a carpenter after 56 years, the release says.

But before that, Hicks wants to enjoy his win.

"We are going to head straight to Golden Corral and eat everything they've got," he said.

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

They gave it an 8, Steam users gave it 73%, I don't think you guys know what bad games are or are players also wrong? (-12)

Dawg, have you played Immortals of Aveum? It was an $120 million dollar flop. I booted it up on Gamepass just to see where the heck that money went, and I can easily say it was the worst game I've played in years. Gameplay was a piss-easy mess of particle effects, and the unskippable - let me repeat this, unskippable - cutscenes had the worst, most godawful sub-MCU tier quip-a-minute dialog I've ever suffered through.I haven't played Forspoken. But I shudder at the thought that anything could be worse. It's like hearing there's something worse than Cthulu - knowing would only bring madness.I gave it more rope than I should have because I was just morbidly fascinated by how bad it was, where the money went, and good lord they even had Michael Kirkbride was writing what the heck happened.

Skillup gave "I do not recommend"

For anyone looking for a TL;DW of his reasons why:The writing is boring and feels like everyone is always happy go lucky. Rook talks to teammates like they're children.Art style looks like Pixar movie stuff and the facial animations betray any sense of emotion during scenes.Side and partner quests aren't woven into the main storyline at all and feels extremely dated. And they're basically all dialog or combat, no variety.Combat is extremely shallow and enemies are super tanky. He lowered the difficulty to easy not because it was hard, but because it was boring and took forever to kill things above that.Conversations are sterile and there aren't any dark moments like in past Dragon Age games. Feels like Bioware is protecting audiences from anything dark or scary.Lack of choice and the inability to say anything from dialog choices that might be upsetting or mean.He backs all of this up with video footage.

If you wanted visually great game out of DA2, they'd need more than just 6 months. It would have required complete rebuild of all worldspaces and probably enhancing the engine further as well. Practically remake at that point. (2)

Hm? How did you jump to all of those conclusions? At the time, DA2 looked alright. Wasn't groundbreaking but I don't think people were complaining about its graphics tech. But even then graphical tweaks aren't necessarily a game engine overhaul. A major chunk of game modding community rests on graphic mods that adjust textures, replace models, and other tweaks to get the game to a desired flavor. But that was not the game's chief failing. It was the dungeon and encounter design. A lot of the dungeons were revisits or even blatantly template designs. Battle encounters were frequently using the same cadence of throwing in adds who smoke bomb in the fight once you weaken the initial encounter enough. It happens in practically every major encounter.

True story, with photo as evidence. During his visit to the Fincantieri shipyard on June 25 '20, I was this close to Trump when he contrasted the original bow and mast design of the FREMM vs the then FFGX design, and directed the Navy to keep the FREMM bow.

An influential global advocacy group for LGBTQ rights has suspended an Israeli member organization as part of a larger move to boycott Israel, angering queer Jews and their allies around the world.

The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, known as ILGA World, announced Wednesday that it was no longer considering Tel Aviv as a potential site for an upcoming conference to be held in 2026 or 2027. The 46-year-old organization, which has a presence in more than 150 countries, added that it was suspending membership for The Aguda, the umbrella organization for Israel's LGBTQ community, which had proposed the site.
