That this is surprising & novel to people shows just how RPG Codex & NMA have lost any relevance... The "glittering gens of hatred" of old were replaced by (or became) posers who just cry about DEI and parrot rage-bait youtubers... Grognard criticism is a dying art.

The article is interesting, but the framing is literally just like "did you know video games are bigger than Hollywood and can also tell deep stories?" butwhytho.net/2026/03/wher... Not blaming the writer, but I wish things outside people's bubbles were met with a sense of wonder instead of this...

All the Alpha Centauri dialog was written in a strange fugue while rereading Dune while listening to the soundtrack for Les Miserables :D

Descobri um HOTEL que foi feito com os benefícios de MORADIA SOCIAL. É surreal e a prefeitura não fiscaliza nada!

I wish Capcom confirmed / denied the Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC already... there's a lot of cool mods being released to improve the game, like the Bestiary mod: youtu.be/qcvNsB34fjI?... If there's no DLC, I might just install these and start playing after I'm doing with Crimson Desert

So @farisattieh.bsky.social, who dreamt up House of Hikmah, sent this to me with a big crying emoji and it's so cool to see the game ripple through media. It does leave a glaring hole - I do really wish Western media, who control Metacritic and all that, would hold more space for non-Western stories

Having to work on Sunday is already brutal, but the fact that the weather is absolutely perfect is pushing me to the edge 💀

Let's spotlight a few particular gems on there, starting with Quake Brutalist Jam 3. A fully standalone community collaboration several times the length of the original Quake with all new weapons, mostly-new enemies and a harsh industrial vibes. qbj3.slipseer.com

I'll take any opportunity to repost this

Timeline cleanse, showing a better world is possible: Last week, the Brazilian government released MEC Livros, a free online library with 8,000 ebooks: agenciagov.ebc.com.br/noticias/202... In just one week, over 122,000 ebooks were borrowed.

Was 100% unprepared for how hard Journal with Witch would go on the first episode. Goddamn...

Got myself a little treat! Always eager to read @brkeogh.bsky.social's works, having an introduction like this makes me less anxious about being an amateur "outsider" with no academic background :)

Tokyo -> São Paulo is a 10h flight immediately followed by a 15h flight 🥲

One of my favorite things about Crimson Desert is its possibility space. I'm 60+ hours in and I keep seeing new things - from new enemy types & cool gear to entirely new features. The game already has an amazing sense of exploration, but this pushes it further - I have no idea what awaits me next.

Hoje foi tipo a crise dos mísseis de Cuba só que na versão burra pra caralho

Imagine being in Iran right now. Waiting. Waiting for 8 PM, knowing a man halfway across the world just said your entire civilization could be wiped at that hour. Your family in the next room. Your phone buzzing. No one knows if it’s real, bluff, or the last normal hour you’ll ever have.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

The president of the USA is threatening nuclear war & killing an entire civilization and apparently there's not even a single soul protesting in front of the White House... You guys are worse than the Germans.

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

Sharing this posting which could be a dream PhD for many: www.uni.lu/en/jobs/doct...

I love the term so much that I still have that screenshot saved in my favorites folders.

This is the first time the US is admitting to arming the opposition to overthrow the govt, although it was already alluded to by Israel and others. It was also the justification used by the IRGC to crack down on protestors, which the US denied at the time, and led to the death of thousands.

Legends of Might & Magic, aka that time classic CRPG series Might & Magic went "what if we did PvE Counter-Strike?"

Anyway, we should not stop talking about because Israel got away with Gaza because of western complicity they are doing the same thing again in Lebanon and won’t stop there

Eu tenho algumas reflexões a fazer sobre o grande evento da guerra desse fim de semana: a tal operação de resgate que resultou na destruição de várias aeronaves dos EUA. Eu penso que o que ocorreu nos diz muito do que os EUA nao fizeram ainda, mas devem estar planejando fazer 👇

I've also noticed this shift, which was inevitable under Trump. At the end of the day, the US has produced a society that can oppose the war, but have no real mechanism with which to end it given the weak political opposition, material consequences of direct action, and broader individualism.

It's not *the* first VG Easter Egg, tho! I'll link a piece by @katewillaert.bsky.social that explores some of the earliest known ones that pre-date Adventure.

one of the coolest jams on itch is happening again, and the theme is more important now than ever… 🔥 Fuck Capitalism Jam 2026 🔥 “We're living in shitty times, but there's room for optimism. Capitalism is collapsing; that much is obvious.” itch.io/jam/fuck-cap... let’s go! 👆

Wild that Linus Tech Tips sees employees leaving & publicly calling out the low salaries the company pays, sees how frail their reputation is after the Gamers Nexus report, sees the state of the world... and still buys a goddamn private jet. Money truly rots people's brains.

Terrifying reality check on Al Jazeera. Israel is systematically detonating and completely destroying entire civilian towns and homes across Southern Lebanon. This is not a war, it is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and total erasure of Lebanese communities. Where’s the outrage 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

One of my favourite Dragon magazine covers - March 1989's. Always makes me think of Shadowrun's Awakening and what it would have been like for the pilots encountering dragons in the sky for the first time.

In Paraguay in the 90s, a company trademarked "Nintendo", using it to distribute pirate games - but also saying the original ones were infringing their copyright lol The "real" Nintendo went to court, all the way to the Supreme Court, but somehow lost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wonder how they got it back...

Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, which was rightly condemned by the West, has led to it occupying 20% of the country. Israel has announced a buffer zone, a second zone, and additional evacuation zones that would amount to 19% of Lebanon's territory. Yet that's just "keeping control"

Conversei com um húngaro ontem sobre localização por conta do assunto do dia aqui e aprendi algo que achei bem interessante. O desenho dos Flintstones teve um impacto cultural enorme Hungria por conta da sua dublagem, que não só adaptou piadas como fez o desenho ser inteiro falado em rimas

You read this and remember that every project that gets released is a miracle on its own. Best of luck to them, the game looks amazing!

One of my favorite things in Crimson Desert is the freedom it gives you Not only the map is fully explorable from the start, it's ok with "sequence breaks", like flying from one sky island to another, sneaking into enemy-controlled shops, or using physics to kill strong bosses. It's truly a sandbox

How do we explain to people that Israel and America rn are like our generation's Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy

Indian journalist looking to review anticipated game with lead Indian protagonist played by an Indian actor. Want to review Saros, please. Have covered many games with South Asian leads over the years. Have written about South Asian characters/games for a multitude of publications. Please, help.

it all works so well when it spins in game!!! bulma's mom and that one lady in the tournament get the same treatment with their hair

Chill day off, reading article drafts for my book and watching the sakura trees at the park 🌸 There's a guy practicing flute a few meters away, the vibes are immaculate.
