AI Slop Games Steal Peak’s Shine – Why It Sucks
Last week, I streamed Peak with my buddies. We laughed so hard at those bobblehead guys tumbling down cliffs. It’s pure fun chaos. Then I saw the news. Cheap AI copies are everywhere now. It feels like someone stole our inside joke and sold it back to us. Why should we care? It’s not just […]
Tencent’s AI Game Boost: Profit Win or Player Loss?
Last night, I got wrecked by bots in a mobile shooter. They dodged my shots like pros. Felt unreal. Now Tencent says AI helped their profits soar. Makes me wonder – is this tech making games smarter or just richer? Honest talk: when big firms chase AI wins, we players sweat. Will bots get too […]
Pepsiman Flashback: Why We Need More Weird Games
So Pepsi asked about making a game. Big mistake? Nah, genius! My feed blew up with Pepsiman clips. Remember that dude? Blue suit, soda-can head, running from giant Pepsi cans.

Horizon Clone Wars: Why Copycat Games Hurt Us Players
Played Horizon Forbidden West last month. That robot T-Rex fight? Pure stress sweat! So hearing ’bout Tencent’s Light of Motiram felt like déjà vu. Sony says it’s a total Horizon rip-off. Red-haired hero, tribal gear, robot beasts? Sounds way too close. Makes me wonder – is this lazy game making? It matters ’cause clones trick […]
That Noob Moment When Games Think You’re a Bot
Man, I just had the weirdest login fail. Tried jumping into my favorite shooter after work. Bam! That “unusual activity” screen popped up. Made me feel like a total bot.
