Playing through Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the first time on Switch 2 and what immediately strikes me is how well it establishes a sense of scale. The first thing you see in almost every level is your tiny pink blob confronting some massive structure or surveying a vast landscape. Lovely

hello

This is a very sweet and genuine game that is one of the rare few to treat animals as their own beings with distinct personalities. A real standout that shouldn't be overlooked.

I got to meet one of my childhood heroes, Roberta Williams, and talk to her for hours and it's one of the coolest experiences of my life. That will only make sense to a narrow band of you, but I'm fine with that. Big thanks to @gameinformer.com for asking me to do this. Roberta Williams. The legend.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Hitman VR makes you feel so slick I can't believe you can do this

Played this for 10 minutes and saw my life unraveling in real time

Big day for us! In many ways this was a project 13 years in the making for me. When I discovered this publication there was exactly one issue online, now all 100-plus are perfectly scanned, text searchable, and a free public utility for anyone to use however they want to.

Joining the love & appreciation club for our adorable tiger Derpy & his bird companion from KPop Demon Hunters. I tried to make this look like a sticker or T-shirt design. I'm really happy with how this came out especially the rendering which I feel I'm getting better at. I hope you guys like it!

i wrote a novella it's about longtermist vampires, doing too many drugs, and socialism it's available right now merrittk.itch.io/vampirocene thanks to @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the killer cover art

Hello! You may have seen it, but I am one of the employees that have been impacted by layoffs at IGN. It's been a great six years, but this now means I am looking to apply my talents to something new and exciting.

Alright let’s try this again

It's that time of year when I check in on the lawncare subreddit

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that it is over for me

I don’t know how they did it but DK Bananza has incredible pacing. The levels are literally densely packed with things to find and do, and even though the areas can be pretty big, I’m constantly being drawn to the next shiny thing. Been a while since I played something this hard to put down.

Will be very interested to see any study tracking the homicide rate before and after Nintendo let Player 2 control the camera in DK Bananza

Tears of the Kongdom

Well that was cool

Our government teacher wheeled this out and admitted that yes, he was going to work in a different school district the next year and no, despite speculation he was not just going to phone it in for the rest of the year. He then pressed play on the second half of Legally Blonde 2

Just about done with my Tears of the Kingdom playthrough. I want to finish the newspaper/stable quests for sure— anything else I should prioritize before wrapping things up?
