Xbots: "There is a discussion going on about exclusivity"

Reality: Starfield just released on PS5 and got rated for Switch 2. Indiana Jones launches on Switch 2 next month. Diablo 4 got rated for Switch 2.

The discussion is probably about Project Helix or whatever it is. They're not going to leave this kind of money on the table. 

Forza Horizon 5 has been a massive success on PlayStation 5, with estimated sales exceeding 5 million copies as of January 2026. The port, released in April 2025, quickly became a top-selling title, generating over $300 million in revenue for Microsoft. It has been hailed as one of the best-performing Xbox games on Sony's platform.

He is not wrong that people should understand the actual technology but his reasoning doesn’t inspire confidence:

"I hear people saying soon you'll be able to make a AAA game with 20 people because of AI. I want to believe it, but when I'm working through one of my levels, I'm always going, 'Move that pixel over. That should come down. I want more wires. I want two blue ones there. And I want this exactly here'. And then we're sitting there adjusting the camera. We're doing this day in and day out, all the time. Now imagine that with the code, the art and everything else. It's about being nuanced to hell,"

Wasn’t the whole debacle of Callisto Protocol that the team focused so much on graphics and environment details for a game that ended like more of a Punch Out than Dead Space. Sounds more like he like a control freak.

Don't attack the messenger, the message is what's important. 

If you're a digital artist or game developer and you refuse to even understand what AI can be used for, then you shouldn't be surprised when you're fired in a few years in favour of a fresh graduate who does.

I hate that the Dave Chapelle thread is trying so hard to stuff him into an arbitrary box with rules made up by their black-and-white tribalism. 

"You shake hands with a fascist, don't be surprised if your house becomes a nazi bar!!!" type stuff.

You can absolutely be someone who makes fun of transgender non-binary woke nonsense, while still not wanting to be used as a puppet by the right-wing MAGA crowd.

I misread this line as:

"You shake hands with a facist, don't be surprised if your hand becomes a nazi bar!!!" type stuff."

I had a hearty chuckle seeing such unusually absurdist humor coming from BananaBlast before I realized my mistake.

Anyway thanks for the laugh even if that's not actually what you wrote.

I see he knows his Mario Kart and politics well enough to stay away from comparing progressive tax rates to the blue shell. Everybody hates the blue shell and knows it's a bullshit method of making things fair except for the useless people.

Y'know, they're going pretty soft on Katy Perry in the "Katy Perry accused of sexually assaulting Ruby Rose" thread. If it was a dude, I'm sure you'd see more words like rapist, groomer, predator, etc. being thrown around.

Link

Katy Perry was married to rapist Russel Brand, of course she would have no issues of sexually assaulting others.

This is a wild line of thinking

That is not how it works, and it's a dumb thing to say.

What an incredibly stupid and offensive thing to say.

This is not how it works and this post is gross as fuck.

I am also piling on you for this.

You know I've seen some spicy hot takes on here but "wives are complicit in their husbands' rapes" is probably the wildest.

I'm in no rush to defend Katy Perry of all people, but this is a crazy way of thinking. Do you think any person partnered with a sex offender... is also a sex offender? Idiot lol.

And yet, Era had no problem with implying Nicki Minaj was also a creep because her husband was a sex offender (and that her brother was a convicted child molester.)

I don’t like bridges or tunnels, elevators are not my favs, especially if they curve (a big fuck you to Montreal tower, I stayed on the ground while the people I went with went up the tower).  Oh and glass floors of any kind.  Please don’t bully me with any of this information.

I guess those Halo/Ferngully ripoff movies aren't drawing as much as attention as he hoped, so he needs to make dumbass statements like this.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/james-cameron-bolsters-support-for-paramount-wb-merger-and-david-ellison.1491466/page-3#post-153846574

I'm think Cameron is acting like an entitled dumbass here. But the idea that Cameron ripped of Halo is pretty hilarious.

He ripped off the idea of being in space from halo

No, but the Avatar vehicle designs do like very similar.

Jimmy C actually commented on this during an interview with G4 when fans were noticing the similarities.

"The funniest thing is when some of the so-called fanboys get up trashing Avatar for looking too much like Halo. Pay attention.

If I'm referencing anything, I'm referencing the source work for Halo, which is my own stuff. So I get to do that. Nobody else gets to do that, but I get to do that. My rule anyway."

It was said in a joking manner, but I think the dude is legitimately jealous of the Halo series. Imagine directing an inferior sequel to Ridley Scott's masterpiece and then Bungie comes along, takes some minor visual inspiration and creates one of the most iconic video game multimedia franchises.

LTTP: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Integrade. It's the horniest game I've ever played.

All of the women in the game are thirsty for Cloud. All the men are thirsty for Tifa. And Aerith apparently is too plain so I had to do a whole battle arena to get her permission for a glow up. Just left her with a weird lady who gives massages behind a closed door and I fully expect a "She's All That" moment when she's ready for her appearance and then it'll be extrme horny central with both Aerith and Tofa. Oh, and they're doing this because apparently Tifa is going to be subjected to a real monster of a man "he won't even see her clothes!" Sam quipped to me.

It's my first ever FF game, are they all this thirsty?

"Final Fantasy 7 Remake is the horniest game I have ever played!"

And then the horniest thing in the game is like.... Tifa in a formal dress while someone says "Wow Tifa, you're so pretty!"

Ok buddy, sure

I thought it was ridiculous women fawned over Cloud since he's ugly, weird and has no rizz + a terrible personality
But Aerith being considered plain was even more messed up

He is not wrong that people should understand the actual technology but his reasoning doesn’t inspire confidence:

"I hear people saying soon you'll be able to make a AAA game with 20 people because of AI. I want to believe it, but when I'm working through one of my levels, I'm always going, 'Move that pixel over. That should come down. I want more wires. I want two blue ones there. And I want this exactly here'. And then we're sitting there adjusting the camera. We're doing this day in and day out, all the time. Now imagine that with the code, the art and everything else. It's about being nuanced to hell,"

Wasn’t the whole debacle of Callisto Protocol that the team focused so much on graphics and environment details for a game that ended like more of a Punch Out than Dead Space. Sounds more like he like a control freak.

I know from experience that everything he said in that quote is true

every statement like "move that pixel over, that should come down, I want more wires" etc., those are all things you can directly tell AI and it will do it for you, because I have done all that myself

"this enemy does too much damage, change its powerful attack from 1.4x damage to 1.2x and make it only a 25% chance that he uses it", and it just gets done

The “dual loyalty” has been anti semitic since even modern Israel foundation.

Goes back much further than that, though pre-state-of-Israel it was more disloyalty. Dreyfus affair, various medieval pogroms, etc.
