Review keys arrive when they arrive. Mixtape is good. It has been funny watching people criticise it as being too American since submitting the review text.

There are things effected that are way more important.portant than this, but still... the way that this will read as a war-time aesthetic will likely hit people like a baseball bat to the face

cool

Q: What do you say to infectious disease experts who are worried the country isn't prepared to deal with something like hantavirus because of all the HHS funding and staffing cuts? TRUMP: Doc, you want to answer that? DR OZ: It's just not true. Secretary Kennedy is involved.

It'll be even funnier if they get tripped up over the Rage logo

"the voters will have their say in the election" is an uninspiring and demoralizing response to a court overturning the result of an election

This is such a vicious fucking circle

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Timing of review code delivery means I'll have fuller thoughts early next week (spoiler: it's excellent). In the meantime, it's probably a good time to remember that B&D's previous game was also rad

SCOOP: double fine is unionizing

The sticks on my old USB 360 controller Ive been using as my PC default for over a decade are finally showing signs of being used reliable and controllers cost how much now?

What are your favourite gimmicks in gaming? The mechanics that lived on? The little hooks that became genre staples? These are the questions pondered by @gorath44000.bsky.social, @robcap.bsky.social and @hewso.bsky.social in episode 184 of the P2 PixelCast! www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-...

It is wild that there were probably calculations that said he couldn't dress in a way that would be normal for cycling

Oh, lol. You mean the way I can finally get this shit stop offering to summarize things is to... not start giving it money?

Print!

Goodbye, London. It's rad that you have a Cloudwater taproom now. Heathrow is super boring, though

Trump’s a demented, bigoted, narcissistic, vulgar, cowardly, fairly insightful about Bill Maher, vindictive, evil man.

Just stuffed them full of chocolates until they died of happiness, I presume

Once again I'm forced to tap the sign: states can't commit piracy in any legal sense of the crime, and calling a state action piracy says that the sailors had mutinied and acted independently of the state – absolving the state of responsibility. You don't want that Not all violence at sea is piracy

This rules

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

I actually don't see enough trees to know the wine thing, but this is gross enough that no point of comparison should be required

Come, read a review of a controller that isn't the Steam one!

Excuse me what now?

oh my god

February. The r's always want to go in the wrong places or just straight-up multiply.

Roguelikes are a dime a dozen at the moment, but a lot of them commit a cardinal sin: they don't stand out. @hewso.bsky.social looks at this very problem while playing the recently released Galactic Vault and asks if it is such a big sin. www.player2.net.au/2026/04/stan...

Maybe there's an extra nugget in the article I'm missing, but surely you'd be hard pressed to have a more convenient, palpable benefit than pushing the knowledge thay, had we gotten our shit together with wind and solar, then this current 'energy crisis' would be more of an oil blip?

I was in primary school once, though

Sorry, everyone. The Onion is bad now :/

it is weird to think that at least for a little while the assumption was that things were broadly going in the right direction, and people and societies would only get better and perhaps even more virtuous over time

30? Consecutive? I... uh... I don't know if you can really class this as a rivalry anymore at this point...

Something tells me News Corp isn't going to run a multi-year targeting campaign against the people who organised and did this. Imagine if this was done by a pro-Palestine or anti-war protestor, and what the reaction would look like, compared to this www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

This is an important project and it is up against so many challenges—more so than most development projects. Please support if you can.

In ep 183 of the P2 PixelCast, @hewso.bsky.social & @pretendbeard.bsky.social ask the question "Do games need to look any better than this?" Check out their thoughts on some classics that just hold up, and how current devs could learn some lessons from the past. www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-...

The fact that the US Secretary of Health denies that pathogens cause disease should always be a much bigger story

Holy shit, the *actual arguement* from Karl Sandilands' lawyer is quite literally that the rules and standards that apply to us common people shouldn't apply to him

As a podcast that should drop in the coming hours will attest, this holds up shockingly well. More game design like this in the modern era, please. Or you could just play this. The visuals have aged some (and it's visibly UE3), but even then there's still fidelity enough.

"Beast Games has taken a satire of reality game shows as humiliation rituals for the desperate and taken that as their starting position."

An AI robot beat at elite table tennis player? Come back to me when it can beat the '90s AI in a Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet...

The collective Australian hatred of Foster's is like some sadistic prank in context, though. Ah, these people reject shitty beer, one thinks as the seeds of trust begin to sprout... ... and then you're handed a bottle of Carlton Draught

Damn soup has no texture

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party. www.deepcutnews.com/p/legacy-med...

The fan behind coach Finch understands it.
