Ghost on the Shelf
Creepy wife, creepy life
This #Xbox #leak is an unmitigated disaster on so many levels. I haven't worked there for 7 years but I still feel so much anxiety for the organization. All that #Gamepass business intelligence out there, with their raw notes on 3rd party game values an dev commentary is absolutely brutal. I have never seen an intelligence leak this bad in all my time working in games, and this includes the HL2 source code leak. Feeling very bad for team Xbox right now.
I'm at the stage now where the meaningless exploration and side fetch quests are starting to bum me out. So I'm going to push through the main story (I have barely touched it - have only done 2 missions) and wrap up. Still, the game brings joy through jank + chaos. #starfield ๐
About to go watch J-indie band Mass of Fermenting Dregs at Fever Tokyo. Prep with beer an free mug and my new deep sea crab from a gacha capsule. Life in Shimokita OK.
The killing moon hangs low in Shimokitazawa tonight. ๐๐ธ
Watching the Apple marketing circle jerk on a Xiaomi tablet at SFO.
Off to Japan for 2 months. Peace! ๐งจ
@mechawatts The Last of Us 2 is pretty amazing for conveying facial emotions.
Absolutely critical thread about why everyone in #Starfield looks like a sociopath. Really nicely explained about human face muscles and how Starfield gets it completely wrong (to hilarious effect).

Just bought a ticket to see one of my favorite bands - Codeine - in SF on 12/7 at the Rickshaw Stop. It's been almost 30 years since I last saw them live.
@blackknight95857669 One thing that is not industry best is X Cloud. Awful stuff.
@blackknight95857669 I haven't messed with my Deck to do that Game Pass tweak yet, although I'm sure it'll run okay but not great (like all other creation engine games).
@blackknight95857669 one thing I will say is that the Xbox cross-save ecosystem is the best in the industry right now. I easily go from playing on XSX to desktop PC (RTX3080) to handheld PC (ROG Ally) within minutes and it just all works seamlessly. Even my photo gallery load screens - it just works. World class.
@blackknight95857669 Yeah, I've made my peace with how "realistic" this game is and it's basically as realistic as you want it to be. I don't care so much about it so I've already used a console command line to give myself 500,000 kg limit because I like to loot and make money fast but without doing insane glitches. Also I don't care about achievements. ๐
@blackknight95857669 nobody is forcing you to use fast travel :kofi:
Between #Starfield and #BaldursGate3 - I have enough single-player gaming goodness to basically last me until probably the next Baldur's Gate expansion comes out.
All hail #Baldfield :sparkles2:
