Analyzing Acquisitions Through the Lens of Resident Evil | Restart Thanks to Resident Evil Requiem, we now know how much individual bioweapons cost in USD. So how many game studios would that be? And why is a BOW a much better option?

Resident Evil Requiem has a pricing list for the black market of bioweapons like Tyrants, Lickers, etc. Because I can only think about one thing I had to wonder aloud: could money on video game studio acquisitions instead be spent on monsters? www.restart.run/articles/ana...

Wanted to know when the independent journalism panel was and figured the easiest way to check was to see if @grubb.wtf posted about it and thus tried to search and

Genuinely, I forgot RedSec existed.

My most charitable reading of this is EA is frustrated because the game came out of the gate as a success, the December update fucked it, and they had to delay season 2 because of it. Combine that with Zampella's tragic death making things feel rudderless and corporation does what corporation does.

That's beyond worth it for the PPVs alone. I should figure out how to get a VPN working.

In several ways, it straight up reminds me of a lost GameCube RPG. Did you like Mega Man X Command Mission? Without being able to supply direct comparisons, I think you'll also like the vibes of this!

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Review | Restart The latest RPG in the Monster Hunter universe is actually a pretty fun checklist game, but you definitely have no need to come to it for the story.

I liked Monster Hunter Stories 3 well enough, even though that took a bit of time to make happen. Under a normal truncated review schedule, I am not sure I would have been able to "find the fun," as it were. Unfortunate that the narrative drags it down for me. www.restart.run/articles/mon...

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Planes flying above the clouds during bad weather feels like cheating. It feels like we just noclipped through the gate wall.

My inflight entertainment on the way to GDC is a game called Vital Shell. You must play this game if:

1) You like Vampire Survivors

AND

A) You miss the Simple 2000 series of games
Or
B) You miss weird shit on PS1 demo discs

Whatever happened to Bowsette? Boy that was a time. It was the hottest video game around, that Bowsette. I heard Luigi is in the Epstein Files, which are a hoax.

No one even likes Mario anymore. Everyone’s saying it. Everyone’s saying, sir, we need an American plumber, not a Japanese plumber or an Italian one or a Japanese one. I can do it. I can do whatever I want. There were too many moons, so I said, you’re going to payback 10% of your moons.
