With so many shows out there today, do you think any of them have the potential to become timeless classics like Friends or The Simpsons? Which shows from the last decade or so do you think people will still be talking about 20-30 years from now?

Have you ever finished a show and thought, "That's it?!" It’s tough when a series you love wraps up too soon or ends on a cliffhanger. If you could bring back any show for more seasons, which would it be? Was it a canceled series or one that ended naturally but left you wanting more?

To be fair, I stopped watching after the third movie. I just thought the whole thing was going stale and I was right. With movies like this, using a similar plot point for more than 2 sequels makes it start to feel repetitive.

Did you ever play any of Sega's Disney games, like Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse? These games had a unique charm and style that set them apart from other platformers of the time.

I've been thinking about what a Sega-themed amusement park would look like. If they made one, what would be the must-have attraction you'd want to experience first? A Sonic rollercoaster? Maybe a Yakuza district with arcade games and side quests? Or even a VR experience for Shenmue?

I've seen procedural generation used in games like No Man's Sky, Minecraft, and Hades, but I'm not entirely sure how it works. How do developers create such huge, varied environments, items, or levels without designing each one manually? What are some common techniques or algorithms involved in procedural generation, and how do they make sure the results are still fun and balanced?

Whether it’s a game that reinvented combat, introduced a new way to tell stories, or had a creative way of handling player choices, I’d love to know. What game mechanics impressed you the most, and why did they leave such a lasting impact on you?

Why am I not surprised? These are the kinds of decisions that'll prevent Microsoft from ever overtaking Sony or Nintendo. Sure, fire all the good staff and replace them with subpar hires.

So after a string of live-service failures. Warner Bros. wants to double down on their commitment to more crapp- I mean "quality" live-service games that we'll all avoid like the plague anyways. What do you think of Warner Bros. stupi- I mean "brave" decision?

All I'll say about this is that I'm apart of that group of people who played the Beta and it was extremely entertaining. Trust me when I tell you that this is up there for game of the year, I really mean it. It's fun no matter if you choose to go it alone or with friends. Have you Played the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta and what was your opinion of it?

The U.S. Copyright Office recently rejected a petition to allow libraries and archives to remotely share preserved video games for research purposes. This ruling, influenced by concerns from industry groups like the Entertainment Software Association, argues that making games accessible online could harm the market. The Video Game History Foundation, which advocated for the change, expressed disappointment, highlighting the preservation challenges for games no longer in print. They criticized the industry's stance, which they feel disregards the needs of historians and researchers. You can see the complete article here.

California's Assembly Bill 2426, signed into law in September 2024, mandates that digital goods retailers must clarify to consumers whether their purchase grants ownership of the product or simply a limited, revocable license. This law targets the growing market of digital media like video games, movies, and music, which have often been marketed as "purchases" but sometimes come with restrictions or can be removed without a refund. The law requires sellers to explicitly state when a transaction involves purchasing a license rather than transferring ownership. This must be clearly communicated using terms like “license” or similar, alongside a link or QR code to more detailed terms. If sellers fail to do so, they risk being penalized for false advertising. The intent is to prevent misleading terms that imply ownership when, in fact, consumers may only have access to content on temporary or revocable terms. However, the law does not address subscription services, nor does it require changes for cases where access cannot be revoked, such as with certain digital goods. Critics argue that while the law helps clarify these transactions, it doesn’t fully resolve issues like the loss of access to digital purchases due to licensing problems or service shutdowns. So in essence, you're just licensing content from Steam and others. You can learn more about it right here.

I’ve been wondering lately if making friends as an adult is actually harder than when we were kids. As children, it seems like friendships came naturally through school or shared activities, but as adults, it can feel like there's more social baggage or fewer opportunities.
