I’m sorry to break it to you, but don’t expect to be able to play an evil pest in Crimson Desert: ‘Would I recommend a full playthrough in that playstyle? Eh, I don’t know’

I can’t recognize my favorite League of Legends champions anymore, and I’m sick of it

The author discusses the lack of clarity in champion skins in League of Legends, particularly highlighting the recent Love Confession skin for Riven, which deviates significantly from her established identity. The skin's design lacks the defining features of Riven, such as her rugged femininity and signature markings, leading to community backlash and comparisons to unrelated aesthetics. The author notes a broader trend of champions becoming unrecognizable, raising concerns about Riot's understanding of its characters. This shift reflects a larger identity crisis within the game, as it attempts to attract new fans while straying from its original character-driven appeal. The author expresses disappointment in their changing gaming habits and the game's current direction.

Randy Pitchford calls Borderlands 4 “pretty damn optimal” amidst PC performance complaints

Gearbox Software's CEO Randy Pitchford addressed player concerns about the optimization of Borderlands 4 on PC, stating that the game's performance is "pretty damn optimal."

He noted that Borderlands 4 has "few real issues," with any problems affecting only a small percentage of users, and assured ongoing improvements in performance.
