Unironically this game is #2 of the year for me right now (behind Silksong)

The Best Day Just Happened 🥰

I love all the positive talk about supporting indie journalists. But you know what's cooler than talk? Action! This weekend, I'll make it easy for anybody who wants to support weekly original video games reporting. Until Sunday at midnight, you can get a month of Post Games for $1

“they got turned into babies and forgot how to play tennis” is peak video game narrative

oops made cocaine mario

Andy thinks he gets to go home in three and a half hours. Come sub and make him stay playing and streaming Hollow Knight: Silksong all weekend long. www.twitch.tv/kindafunnyga...

remember when nintendo made an entire game about bowser jr dealing with his rageaholic father and also giant cat mario

Rogue.site is now a reality! Thank you to everyone along the way who helped make it possible. If you like what you see, and want more of it. Consider pledging your support with a subscription. Your funds will go to support independent games journalism written by humans, for humans.

by far the funniest thing about team cherry is how half-assed their logo is

I regret to inform you I am once again reading Metal Gear wikis searching for reason

So excited to finally share this! Couldn't be more in awe of this crew and I'm pumped to be working with them on some truly awesome stuff.

How do you make a video game funny? Late-night comedy writer @mikedrucker.bsky.social and Tactical Breach Wizards director @pentadact.com stop by Post Games to help us find some answers! www.patreon.com/posts/how-to...

Today's my last day @polygon.com. Thanks for all the support over the years, I appreciate each and every one of you ❤️❤️❤️ I'll have more info to share about my next thing in a few weeks (it's not a Patreon, we already have one of those for Besties 😄). But I'm super pumped!

Ok have a pre-order page up for the next round of dumbass “You Dried” hand towels because they sell out the second they are back in stock and people were getting antsy. Do what you must, Chosen Undead. mcelroymerch.com/products/you...

We sold out again lol But you can put your info in and you’ll be notified when the next restock comes in mcelroymerch.com/products/you...

Kojima at it again with these insane character names

Eggplant Presents: A Year of UFO 50 - Campanella 2 We're joined by @ellaguro.bsky.social @russfrushtick.bsky.social and @xanagear.bsky.social to discuss game #35. "Pilot's gone missing on a giant space station and his sister Isabell is determined to find him!" eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

Happy birthday to @plante.bsky.social’s new podcast, post.games! Check it out, it rules: www.patreon.com/posts/129396...

If you see @polygon.com on a resume in the near future, you should hire that person. It’s been a rough week and all the amazing folks who lost their jobs deserve to be snapped up as quickly as possible.

I’ll be on @cnbc.com in a couple mins talking about the GTA delay and the Epic v Apple drama. Tune in and take a bad screen grab of me!

i wanted to collect links people are posting to good polygon-adjacent sites + ways to follow/support folks who've been laid off from there - almost certainly extremely incomplete but maybe it'll be helpful? haunts.neocities.org/polygon

"When you're ready, you won't have to."

Enter the Gungeon is $1.50 on Steam right now, which is nigh criminal for how good it is.

TIL that in Japan, Boo is called Teresa, named for a ghost that Miyamoto knew who was named Teresa

I installed Tubi for THAT?

it’s diablo, but fun

Joined the @eggplantshow.bsky.social podcast crew the Campanella 1 episode in their year-long UFO 50 series. Pilot becomes a star in this one! eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

Balatro mobile time management rule: I can’t start a new run of Balatro when I’m at home. I play on the subway or in waiting rooms and if I don’t finish the run, I can finish it at home. But no new runs until I leave the house again. This is the only thing keeping me from Jimboblivion.

Props to @terrycavanaghgames.com for owning the SEO on “a shitload of the letter V” I have no idea how many Vs are actually in VVVVVVVV but it always pops up

went on a date with a pokémon but they spent the whole time talking about themselves ☹️

The second they said they wanted to make Twitter a banking app, the name change made perfect sense. Who the hell would give Twitter their banking info?
