You know, hobbies don't always have to be useful. I'm enjoying the uselessness of today, and readying my usefulness for tomorrow.

My favourite gaming achievement!

This game changed how I think about games and what they could be. The best game of all time for me and being that good, I will be doing a 2nd 100% run which I may continue later this year to prep for the new dlc

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@TheHonoraryZeus I think those I've listed have earned a lot of goodwill from me and other fans of them, people might say I'm mental for CDPR after cyberpunk but the fact they stuck with something that at the time had lost them a mental amount of money and turned it into a GOAT is so respectable

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

I know one dev I mention here will have people thinking I'm ridiculously biased. But I am only after this year buying AAA level games, day 1, from these studios

CDPR
Naughty dog
Santa Monica
Sucker punch
Warhorse
Larian
Fromsoft

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@CDPROJEKTRED @larianstudios @WarhorseStudios @SonySantaMonica @SuckerPunchProd I beg don't ever do this

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

Ridiculously greedy*

[LonelyGoomba @LonelyGoomba]

I'm sorry but doing essentially a game reveal on Netflix is ridiculous

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

Indie games I'm not counting at all as if they look amazing I'll buy it because it

1. Looks quality
2. Likely a cheaper price
3. Supporting a smaller studio

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@TomTerminator11 Don't play a lot of capcom or remedy but they're 2 of the most trustworthy in terms of giving their fanbase what they want imo

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

I'm really tired but tempted to stream maybe an hour or 2 of TW3 and just chill n talk

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@CasualGamerDoc Some do, but most unions that start to be formed, like with R* and Bethesda recently, the employees just get laid off who try to start them

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

We need

- Unions in the gaming industry
- Consumer protection rights
- Physical copies at least at the point of pre order (keeps 3rd party markets open also)

None of this will happen because the cancerous CEOs think the Devs below them and the customers are cattle

[Bad Leroy Brown @Levonaxper]

FOLKS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!

❌ They put microtransactions into single player games.

❌ They laid off thousands of developers because of their own terrible management.

❌ They cut content from games and sold it back to us as „DLC.”

❌ They normalized unfinished games at launch.

❌ They turned early access into an excuse to sell incomplete products.

❌ They made battle passes a standard in full priced games.

❌ They locked cosmetics, skins, and even gameplay features behind paywalls.

❌ They pushed always online requirements for games that don’t need them.

❌ They normalized subscriptions for features that used to be free.

❌ They replaced unlockable content with paid content.

❌ They closed talented studios after a single commercial disappointment.

❌ They chased live service trends instead of creating original experiences and ruined whole generation with this shit

❌ They normalized day-one patches for unfinished products.

❌ They raised game prices while offering less value.

❌ They pushed digital only ecosystems that weaken consumer ownership.

❌ They made physical media less and less relevant.

❌ They shut down games people paid for and made them unplayable.

Fuck this broken industry. Raise your voice. Stand your ground. Fight for your ownership and your consumer rights. If we stay silent today, we’ll have even fewer rights tomorrow.

The fake urgency in corporate jobs k!lls me. We're not doctors, we work in spreadsheets. You DO NOT need to circle back for a response an hour later.

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@KindredBlade They're honestly in for a fucking shock because most won't want cloud gaming, not owning anything we buy, being priced out of a hobby. The consumers are the ones who have put these people in their positions through our money, without us buying, they're fucked

[Ghost Of Babylon @KindredBlade]

The comments from Strauss Zelnick are truly disgraceful. He and all the big CEOs have successfully ruined something what we enjoy.

What's worse is that they have no regard for us. They don't care as long as we're giving them our money.

Layoffs, expensive consoles, death of physical media. It's a dark, dark period for us.

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@ItsMattGhostie Just sad the way it's all going but we need some of the more caring studios to start putting things in place like unions

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

In the next 10 years it's likely a lot of the hardcore audience of gaming will not buy new hardware and at best buy 2-3 new games a year and that's only for people who get severe fomo.

It's likely the ones who actually love this art form will be priced out of it soon.

[TheNCSmaster @TheNCSmaster]

Every CEO/talking head defense of killing physical games is such a pathetic attempt at gaslighting

“I mean when you think about it’s GOOD we’re giving you less options! Look at these numbers we’ve heavily skewed to be in our favor!”

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@MisterJayRod Wouldn't go with him, needs someone imo who is more stoic and doesn't look like a bodybuilder and if this picture is anything to go off, a lot older 😂

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

Anya Taylor joy and Jodie comer as the sisters imo, not sure who should play Aegon

[King Targaryen 🐉 @KingTargaryenn]

🚨Warner Bros Discovery ha confirmado oficialmente que ‘Aegon’s Conquest’ será una película para cines. Y todo apunta a que podría convertirse en el proyecto más ambicioso sobre este universo.

Esto es todo lo que sabemos hasta el momento:

• La película se ambientará 300 años antes de Game of Thrones y narrará la legendaria conquista de Poniente por Aegon I Targaryen, junto a sus hermanas y esposas Visenya y Rhaenys, montando a los tres dragones más icónicos de la historia: Balerion, Vhagar y Meraxes.

• Veremos acontecimientos históricos como la caída de Harrenhal, el Campo de Fuego, la rendición de varios reyes y el nacimiento del Trono de Hierro.

• Será la primera película ambientada en el universo Canción de Hielo y Fuego.

¿Y qué se rumorea?

• Cada vez cobra más fuerza la posibilidad de que no sea una única película, sino el comienzo de una trilogía que abarque toda la conquista de Poniente e incluso sus consecuencias, desde la llegada de Aegon a Poniente hasta la consolidación del dominio Targaryen sobre los Seis Reinos y el inicio de las campañas contra Dorne.

• Hace tiempo, cuando el proyecto todavía se planteaba como una serie, el guionista Mattson Tomlin aseguró que George R. R. Martin estaba implicado en el desarrollo y que ya había escrito “mucho” del proyecto. También comentó que estaba especialmente emocionado por que los fans vieran la escena de apertura.

• Esa declaración disparó una teoría: que la historia podría arrancar con un espectacular prólogo mostrando el esplendor y la destrucción de la Antigua Valyria, antes de dar el salto a Rocadragón y al comienzo de la conquista. Esta sería una forma épica de abrir la película.

• También se ha confirmado que el presupuesto será gigantesco. Warner Bros parece decidida a convertir esta producción en un gran evento cinematográfico, con batallas a una escala nunca vista, cientos de extras, enormes escenarios y dragones con un nivel visual superior al de cualquier serie de la franquicia.

La gran pregunta: ¿bastará una película (o trilogía) para contar la Conquista de Aegon, o esta historia merecía una serie?

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

@_Riddock_ Genuinely all I do when I put it on is listen to these 3 😂

[Josh @Josh0fRivia]

Not a fan of death stranding as a game, but my fucking god does it have an all timer soundtrack, not that I've listened to it all but the first game really does have some bangers

[oldgamer @oldgamer_83]

🚨Parece que se confirma lo que muchos llevamos tiempo sintiendo: la industria del videojuego se ha ido alejando poco a poco de los jugadores.

Xbox prioriza las suscripciones y llevar sus juegos a PC. Sony quiere acabar con el formato físico. Nintendo apuesta por las Game-Key Cards. Y ahora Rockstar parece dispuesta a estrenar su próximo tráiler en Netflix.

Cada decisión apunta en la misma dirección: maximizar ingresos. Mientras tanto, la preservación, la propiedad de los juegos y el respeto por la comunidad parecen haber pasado a un segundo plano.

Los videojuegos dejaron de ser solo un producto financiero hace mucho. Detrás hay millones de jugadores que han construido esta industria durante décadas. Ojalá las grandes compañías no lo olviden.
