@gematsu.com is it possible to subscribe to some sort of ad-free experience? The ads feel especially annoying lately, especially on mobile.

omg omg omg omg

Been playing my Steam Deck a lot lately and finding that I really miss the (Switch 2) detachable controllers

Happy Fall! 🍂 🌸 ¡ƃuᴉɹdS ʎddɐH

My experience with Bsky has been discovering that the more time I put into this space, the better it gets. It’s wild feeling like I gain more control as I spend time here because that’s not how any other modern social platform functions. I keep finding so much cool shit!

I felt like this image was perfect for “taking a break”

New shirt from @favoritevegetable.bsky.social just in time for the wedding 😊

For the same price as a Disney+ subscription, you can get a random vintage video game magazine shipped to you every month from VGHF @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social Just sayin' the-video-game-history-foundation.myshopify.com/collections/...

While flipping through the latest issue of @gameinformer.com I spotted this rad @giantbomb.bsky.social ad Absolutely love it! 👏

Video games are awesome.

So, a bit of an announcement: I'm retiring. My last day at IGN will be Oct 1; after that I'll be a full-time dad for a bit while my kids are of an age where they'll think spending time with me is cool rather than lame. It's been a huge honor and privilege to run reviews here for the past 12.5 years.

Vinyl is usually my go-to but I actually pre-ordered the Promise Mascot Agency soundtracks on cassette tape because it feels more *authentic*

Finally playing Shenmue as it was meant to be enjoyed By broadcasting wirelessly it to my 1998 Sony Watchman, complete with glorious 2.2" colour screen 😍

Talk A Good Game S02E01 Join me as I chat with @kaizengameworks.com co-founder Oli Clarke Smith about their game Promise Mascot Agency, plus Oli's love for PS2 games with low review scores, the joy of making games they want, and challenges of being an indie developer LISTEN NOW: tagg.dekudeals.com

Talking about good games again starting Monday at 6am PT

That's a LOT of games 😅

@brianaltano.bsky.social Hey Brian! I DMed about sending you some knockoff things for your collection but I'm not sure if you've received it. Happy to ship them to the IGN office or whatever. LMK 👍

Many are balking at the $70 price tag for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 but I’m pretty ok with that price I think? Two of the best games ever made at 4K on TV / 1080p handheld Am I out of touch??

British police raided the home of a hardware reseller and seized dozens of Nintendo dev kits and 300+ undumped prototype 3DS titles that originally came from a SEGA office move www.timeextension.com/news/2025/09...

Something incredibly special arrived from Japan yesterday! I posted about this super rare Nintendo company guide from 2000 that was up for sale a few weeks ago. It was way out of my budget but I’d never seen one before. An anonymous donor pitched in and made this purchase possible! 🙏💙

Y’all don’t sleep on this. The soundtrack SLAPS and the clay animation is gorgeous!

This was a fantastic watch and I'm not even kidding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-w...

An extremely rare Nintendo company guide from 2000 👀 First I've ever seen available for purchase and one I'm missing from my collection. Unfortunately, the 50,000円 ($350) asking price is outside of my budget at this time.

No big deal just my badass wife officiating her best friend's underwater wedding this weekend ☺️

"demo progress cannot be carried over to full game"

Bring the Deus Ex series of video games to Switch 2, please 🙏

Nintendo leaving so much money on the table by not releasing a Mario Kart World line of amiibo 😭

This keeps happening to my Switch 2 Joy-Con. Anyone else?

There are two things in my life that I legitimately forget need charging

This game is ridiculous! Please play Promise Mascot Agency.

We have strayed too far from god.

Switch 2 Game-Key Cards are a bummer but Nintendo handled the Switch 2 Edition games much better than other consoles in my opinion! Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game cards work in both Switch 1 and Switch 2 Switch 1 - runs the base game as normal Switch 2 - runs the base game + Switch 2 upgrade files

Sooner than you think!

Life's way too short to spend time on social media bitchin' about video games instead of actually playing them.

Lots of computer chair economists on social media today 🫠

As a serial buyer of games I intend to play "some day," this whole Game-Key Card situation is going to save me mountains of dough. Perhaps I'll finally get around to playing those "some day" games 🥲 We track the ever-growing list of Game-Key Card titles here: www.dekudeals.com/guides/about...

Switch 2 kiosk console going through some update or initialization process. Never seen that spinner before (filmed July 30 at Target)

I’d love to see Nintendo do something like Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival in Mario Kart World Maybe in a special free roam mode with a bunch of players? Feels like there’s lots of potential there

There are a handful of games on PS5 that I’ve been waiting for deep sale that I think I’d prefer on Switch 2…. shoot! Off the top of my head - Dragons Dogma 2 - Visions of Mana - Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 - Stellar Blade

All the photos for the Deku Deals Switch 2 accessory buying guides were taken on my kitchen table 🙈 I did eventually swap my prime lens off for something with a more... reasonable focal length (no more step ladder required!)

Some new and exciting *things* are getting published on dekudeals.com tomorrow!

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?

That other platform sure is a fine place

This game is fascinating! EPD8 managed to build a world that’s got dopamine rewards stacked one after the other like dominos ready to fall. Glad it’s not a mobile game with micro transactions because I’m hooked like a whale…

Rolled credits on Split Fiction last night! An all-time great. Truly a pleasure to play from start to finish.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is my fiance's first JRPG which means it's her first video game with overly-talkative characters 🥹 She says she's put a mental block in place haha!

crime spotted on BBC Breakfast this morning...

Switch 2 color tests Nintendo ran at some point in 2023 - Mario Red? - White - Silver

Nobody told me these MudRunner games were this fun
