We have been hearing analysts talk up how GTA6 is going to revitalize the industry for 3 years now

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that is not happening

We’ll be lucky if the boost will offset the decline from last year. Don’t think we’ll be seeing Black Friday discounts.
The US console hardware market has not been in a more precarious position “since the early 80s”, according to market research firm Circana.

YTD Xbox console sales are at an all-time low, while PlayStation is at its lowest point since 2013.

Galactic Racer is my favorite racing game in ages, a game that scratches the same arcade itch as Wipeout, Burnout, and F-Zero GX. It is an antidote to the antiseptic, licensed car collection simulators we have grown accustomed to.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an exercise in inhuman speed that gives me exactly what I want: To go so fast that I'm always inches away from exploding. aftermath.site/star-wars-gala...

A Korean king ordered a bunch of linguists to come up with a written language to increase literacy due to the difficulty of chinese and they came up with one of the easiest to read languages in existence.
Happy Hangul Day!

It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn!

So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

A single vermin in a foreign country has direct control of what billions of people across the globe see, with no oversight even during an election. No democracy can resist this.

me: the dragonslayer was never meant to be used. it's meant to be an impossibility. dragons are ontologically unable to be defeated by humans, so a sword fit to slay a dragon, it follows, would not be usable by them. guts transcends in losing everything
