Even the ChatGPT users are acknowledging that this is making you dumber.

Been really fun listening to all my favourite podcasts, and whenever they start talking about Pragmata... They all just go 'that was a fun video game, just really fun, it is nice to just really enjoy a video game'. I keep expecting someone to go 'I hated it', but apparently people just like fun

Justice for Beatdown Fists of Vengeance, and Mindjack

Look, I am not usually so pedantic... but what the fuck have they done to this film? The blue tint is a part of the texture of this film

gta 6 costs zero dollars if you don’t want to play it

I see the current Reform advances as the Boris Johnson effect. The English public when, presented with a personality equivalent to an open sore don't treat it, cover it up and let it heal. No, they show it to everyone, properly irritate and look at it with pride when it festers

I bs around on Mario because I've been cursed to love Sonic and it's fun but Mario is good. Duh. My real opinions are on Kirby. No way y'all actually like these games 😭😭😭

The best Zelda game

Damn, Astarion is looking pretty rough nowadays

My dad being a trans ally in his own way, by taking a side swipe at what a dipshit I looked like in the early 2000s

2 Guns, I don't know why but I love it

This is the reason I like Beck's first two albums. And maybe My Ruin?

Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

How I talk about getting out of bed everyday

Metal Gear Survive is the second best Metal Gear game and third place isn't even close. To compound this, I think this is an irrelevant take but not a bad one

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

So, for my piece, and not on the same scale as this, I wrote a long comparison between Elvis and AI because I had just watched Priscilla. My editor cut it, rightly, but it was part of the process www.xboxtavern.com/you-were-nev...

I know I am being pedant... But please stop saying 'Chomping at the bit' it is 'Champing at the bit'. I know it is not a big deal, but this is how we ended up with literally meaning both literally and figuratively

so much of the past fifteen years has been people coming along with a videogame in a genre that got abandoned by the people holding the purse strings and folks going “oh thank fuck, I’ve missed getting new ones of these” and none of it has to do with technical boundaries.

That bug you found in the released game? We absolutely found it and considered it low risk/impact

Me watching the new Yakuza game trailer wishing it was Way of the Samurai 5 - Damn this music is great My partner - This music is one of the worst things I have ever heard

One of my games of the year.

I played Okami for the first time... It has not aged well

This is really funny because Norris dying me immediately reminded me of the only adult fan of his - a person who once explained to me how black people were genetically bad a t swimming

ICE has been hacked! And you can explore the data, which includes every DHS contract, in this convenient new tool micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts

videogames are crumbling under the weight of billionaire psychos, TCGs have been entirely overrun by collectors driving up prices to infeasibility, TTRPGs are the refuge of former theater kids (derogatory) there's only one safe space left: spending too much money on warhammer

the mistake I think some make is that many want to advocate for games as a positive and worthwhile force and while I think the medium is wonderful and unlike anything else, the culture and industry surrounding it is overwhelmingly a net negative in the world and one must be honest about that

Anything by Oasis. There are bad pop songs but after working in HMV I got good at tuning them out. Oasis is an approximation of music I like but drained of anything good. Champagne Supernova is particularly bad, but Wonderwall comes close second

Cairn is so good. I have now attempted Free Solo three times and got further each time. For me it is now THE way to play it

As a person that plays a lot of games, I am notorious for doing this. I also skip almost every cutscene too - unless your story is diagetic, there is a good chance I have no idea what is going on

So, the people at Xbox Tavern let me write stuff about games, then every now and then I write about things that are bothering me. I feel lucky to have editors that let me go on a rampage

Okay, but if he didn't kick the snakes out of Ireland, why have I never seen a snake in Ireland. Really makes you think

every British guy between the ages of 38 and 52 has intense, borderline troubling nostalgia for some insanely unplayable looking Amiga game called like “Bonky’s Quest”

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Okay, I might play arc raiders

Our man @badgercommander.bsky.social reviews @styxvideogames.bsky.social Blades of Greed! "unrepentantly a stealth game, and this instalment adds a lot of new features and mechanics" www.xboxtavern.com/styx-blades-...

My wife watching a movie - Oh no that poor animal! My wife in any open world video game - *Mercilessly one shots every bit of wild life she finds*

Before Marathon is released: Bungie is cooked, they plaigiarised, probably using AI too After Marathon release: Bungie is back, best game ever, I am having feelings about shooting You can never count Bungie as out. Destiny was a snooze fest for me but that shooting feedback was mint

Can I please get The Club 2? I love all the spiritual sequels but I really just want The Club 2

HOOK JAW (1976): Controversial kids' comic Action's main event - a vengeful great white with a dirty great gaff hook lodged in its mouth. Initially written and drawn by Pat Mills and Ramon Sola, this was an insanely, deliriously violent strip, with arms, legs, and heads popping off.

Look at this game! The paper gets coloured in all pretty when you run around and it can catch fire! Now THAT'S a GDC announcement www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_3...

If too many tourists flee the beach due to shark attacks, our economy will be ruined! This is where the tourist containment barriers come into play

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?” Me (indie dev in this economy): “Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts

That time you bump into someone at work and you go 'do we know each other?' and then you realise that, no, no you don't - it is just one of your writing heroes and then they are very polite and you are desperately not trying to make it awkward

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
