I had so much fun with it, it's like a modern Oblivion with parrying and Elden Ring dungeon design
But like a modern Oblivion, the jank adds character (later in the game there are multiple bits of dialog with voice actor errors/retakes, for instance)
Crimson Desert has dropped to a “mixed” Steam review rating, with most of the complaints revolving around the controls. Now, the PR and marketing director at developer Pearl Abyss has responded. https://bit.ly/4sy0huY
Okay, so I've played a bit of Crimson Desert and you can't remap the controls on PS5 and I've been playing FO76 recently so keep trying to open my map with the touch pad and instead zooming in on my character's goofy ass bargain bin Verso face, lol
If someone had told me the new Super Mario Bros movie had the theme from the Super Mario Bros Super Show as an easter egg I would have tried watching it much sooner
ChatGPT: you’re so right, Leto Atreides II. Merging with a worm would give you unconscionable power that you, alone, could wield — you, alone, could be trusted with. You wouldn’t be committing a genocide. You would be saving humanity
Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then
Between FO76's newest update, which added bigfoot as a post-event boss, and new emoji adding "hairy creature", I'm curious what the source of the current Sasquatch zeitgeist is
Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.
In Fallout 76 there is a camera "weapon" that normally takes captures functionally identical to photo mode except they added a ridiculous Easter egg if you take a camera photo of the new Bigfoot boss wherein the photo becomes blurry
It feels like it's been ten years since I've heard anything about SXSW, but this year I'm seeing/hearing ads for it all over- they're really trying to make it a thing again, huh?
I had forgotten how The Simpsons put the extra effort in to flip this joke. Rather than just satirizing US nationalist parochialism, Homer is (momentarily) an expert on Iranian politics.
As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...
The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.
My biggest hope for Elder Scrolls 6 / Fallout 5 is that Bethesda drops the way they currently program "essential" characters (wherein you try to kill them and they crouch for a minute before getting up and fighting back, and this repeats until you take a nap) and brings back this good Morrowind shit
One of the best things about having a beard is how sometimes my cat decides I'm not paying enough attention to him so he'll slowly reach out and gently grab or bat at it
It's somehow rude and polite at the same time but definitely cute either way
Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.
I got sick of trying to open my map in Crimson Desert and accidentally changing the view to the main character's goofy ass budget bin Verso face, so I made this
Perhaps his fear center in the amygdala was activated while his reasoning center in the prefrontal cortex was impaired? Or maybe he just became mean and weird.
June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”
March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”
UPDATE (2026-03-02): This toot has gotten a lot more attention than what I would ever anticipate. Some clarifications are needed. A follow up is here: https://infosec.exchange/@dazo/116158898983233133
PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:
Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.
In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.
