Witchfire is one of the best guns-and-superpowers shooters out there and I'm not gonna stop singing its praises until everyone knows it

So ready for Ontos. Frictional diving back into trippy sci-fi horror is enough to have me sat day one. But bringing in Stellan Skarsgard on top of that is unfairly cool

Valve HQ: "AAA game about murdering a lot of Muslims and destroying their homes" "ship it" "solo game in which you fight the IDF" "ban the savages" "indie game that criticizes Western power dynamics with a horse metaphor" "unacceptable" "This review hates Muslims" "ahh smell that thats freedom"

Let’s hope whoever decided to ban HORSES didn’t watch that Divinity trailer last night! 😱

"Could be fun, I'll check it out" *Looks at steam page* *Requires secure boot and TPM 2.0* Well have fun yall 😑

*shills Harry Potter in Fortnite* "It's the world we live in" Fuck off Geoff. No really just fuck off

I can't get over how incredible this looks. Remedy is holding nothing back and we are lucky to live in their world

I'm not even going to bother apologizing for the person I'm going to be leading up to and after this comes out

Control Resonant is everything

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Indie game calculator sayyyys If there's 90 minutes of paid trailers, that's somewhere in the range of $30-45 million. That's a year of runway for a AA team, or anywhere from 10-20 small indie games on a 2-3 year timeline.

Finished Enter the Matrix and with that, I've rolled credits on 50 games this year I still don't have my brain as under control as I'd like, but as far as hammering my ADHD into shape this is actually pretty fucking neat

"Look, funding the Pentagon is a nice dream. But no one wants to answer how we're gonna pay for it. You're just not being practical"

can't wait for all the chuds who were like "it's Valve's right as a Private Business™ to keep shit off their storefront" to defend this

The heist, "caught on film", had texture and warmth and an indescribable aura of authenticity that it would have lacked had it been shot with digital cameras.

"I call this one Bold and Brash"

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

aghghh @reviewers sorry i forgot to add this , slide to the review guide that went out

Wanted to see if there was anymore progress on getting the Switch 2 GameCube controller working on PC, and apparently the latest Steam beta just added support for it? Launched Dolphin through Steam and it works. We have never been this back

And with that, Metroid Prime 4 is done! Beautiful game. Not sure yet where it ranks in the series for me but it's definitely up there. Couldn't be happier 🥰🤩

There's a lot of things that could go here but off the top of my head: full ground up reboot of Condemned. More or less the same starting premise but with a plot that... doesn't do what the originals did

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Regardless of my opinions on the Metroid community, I think that Nintendo shot themselves in the foot by not releasing Prime 2 + 3 on Switch. From so many of the discussions I've been seeing about 4, it really feels like people's only exposure to the series was the first game.

I don't wanna think about Discourse while playing Metroid Prime 4. It's too good for that. But I will say Miles MacKenzie is absolutely not capable of ruining everything it does well Some folks need to chill. He's Fine™

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

Finally managed to grab all three Heterotopias hardcovers! I've been wanting to track those down for ages

I wrote a thing about how frustrating this line of thought is, cuz it gets trotted out every few years, and a whole bunch of interesting people disagree thoughtfully and articulately, and none of those disagreements are acknowledged when it's trotted out again www.tumblr.com/innuendostud...

I'm bored today so I decided it's time to announce the secret project.

routine is already one of the best-looking first-person games i have ever played

Metroid Prime 4 is stunning so far Viewros feels *alien*, distinct from anywhere else we've been in the series. It's beautiful and eerie in all the ways you'd want Prime to be. Getting a lot of Echoes vibes which makes me very happy

TIME TO GO BEYOND

Mentally hammering the Elder Scrolls wait button until gamestop opens

I love it when a smug loser says "yeah the annihilation of your livelihood might be for the best. you didn't get into this to earn a living, right?"

Spoilers for Horses, but like... this is it. This is the game.

Longer thoughts on Horses. But the important part is: go buy it. Go play it. Support challenging art. Especially when the corporations don't want you to backloggd.com/u/SlideshowD...

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

To clarify, there's nothing in this game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated film. There are people spreading malicious rumors about it, claiming that it is more extreme. It reminds me of Night Trap, supposedly one of the most transgressive games of its age. Reality: Milder than Power Rangers.

Jesus christ, fuck every one of these platforms

Seeing a few articles/videos trying to argue that Metroid Prime 4 is scoring 'low' at an 80 average and just... I'm so fucking tired of this Even if we pretend scores aren't fucking stupid, 80 is still great! Who looks at an 80 and thinks "why isn't it higher?" That's embarrassing corpo shit

I'm reminded of a funny tweet I saw on Twitter a few years ago, about Star Trek episode titles.

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

It’s wild how there’s several different videos of several different establishment democrats giving public talks where they say “it’s a shame young people can see videos of war crimes online because they’re missing the context behind the war crimes”

A great way to tell monopolistic censors to go shit in their hat is to go support the challenging art they don't want you to see

The additional context is that Valve is still killing a beloved games studio, still tried to weasel out of making a press statement, still didn't allow a second review, and still did not communicate with the developer beyond vague references to their terms. www.eurogamer.net/valve-respon...

Just started No Players Online on itch recently and my god is it incredible. Please give it a look

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation. noplayersonline.net/statement

Metroid Prime 4, Routine, and Blood: Refreshed supply are all out in three days help

Yay! :D Play Nine Sols Trust me, it's incredible. Deeply challenging metroidvania with Sekiro-inspired parry focused combat, gorgeous hand-drawn artstyle, and an incredible soundtrack, from the developers of Detention and Devotion. It's absolute S-rank good.
