Donkey Kong is back in Donkey Kong Bananza, an exclusive that will release on the new Switch 2 consoles. Who here is hyped for this one? It seems to mix of a 3D Open World with some 2D side scrolling sections. It's coming out July 17th 2025.

Check out this article here - https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-unveils-ai-generated-demo-inspired-by-quake-2-that-runs-worse-than-doom-on-a-calculator-made-me-nauseous-and-demanded-untold-dollars-energy-and-research-to-make/ The article above discusses Microsoft's reveal of a new AI-generated demo that is heavily inspired by Quake II. The demo was supposed to showcase advanced AI capacities, but according to the author of the article, he mentioned the demo ran poorly, so bad that it was compared to playing the original Doom on a basic calculator, but worse. The demo shows off a location similar to what you'd see in Quake II, but using AI, they then create enemies and gameplay visuals on the fly. I guess someone worked really hard on this too. But if this is a sign of things to come, I'm a big worried. To me, their intent sounds like they want to AI to just produce the games for them. Or that's the point they want to get to. And to be fair, AI has been used forever in gaming. And I think this type of AI can be used to improve upon games, but I do have worries that they will rely too much on these type of AI tools to make their games. What do you guys think though?

Adolf has hated this country and its people his entire life. He saw the White House as a means to alienate us, completely destroy our economy, and let bigotry run rampant. We're no longer a world power or even a nation. We're a third world country and ruled by a dictator with an iron fist. The constitution no longer matters. It's nothing but old paper. He probably plans on taking it out of the Smithsonian and literally wiping his fat diseased ass with it. Nazism and Fascism is what our political system is now.
