Am I the only person who didn't hate Microsoft's 'This is an Xbox' marketing?

It's taken me this long to realised Deltarune is an anagram of Undertale 🤦‍♂️

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

Only just started, but I can tell Winter Burrow is going to be one of those games I want to 100%. @pinecreekgames.com have made something special here. Aesthetically right up my street, with a satisfying sense of progression that I fall for every time 🐭 #indiegaming #indiegames

The sooner this becomes the dominant perspective, the better. www.eurogamer.net/blockbuster-...

Happy ROG Xbox Ally X Day to all who could afford it

Oooooh, this is exciting. Dinkum always felt like a perfect Switch game 😍 www.eurogamer.net/after-sellin...

Seeing this leaked Perfect Dark reboot concept art makes me really hope someone else picks up the IP. I'd love to spend time stealthin' around this world 👇 mp1st.com/news/gamepla...

Not a lot caught my eye at #gamescomONL, to be honest. Liked these, though: - Long Gone - Road Kings - Zero Parades - The Darkest Files - Compensation Not Guaranteed (Mix of new & previously announced games)

Why are there so many Battlefield 6 leaks? What is going on?

Rewatching King of the Hill and it's wild how Dale was written as this ridiculous, out-there paranoid wingnut, but now just sounds like everyone on X.

20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took on a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!". To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

I feel this in my bones

Out today, Cast n Chill is a fishing game with stunning pixel landscapes and relaxing nature ambience. Explore serene lakes, rivers, and oceans with your loyal pet, or let Idle Mode do all the casting for you while you chill away from the game.

Ladies and gents: GOTY is here

Pardon?

A new Indie Showcase with a focus on Indie JRPGs got announced. Indie Quest set for May 29th 4PM PT (1 Uhr). With over 40 exclusive new trailers.

A wave of nostalgia just washed over me

Me trying not to type an e at the end of Clair Obscur, every single time

Right, I need to take a little break from trying to crack this final Balatro challenge. Not good for my mental health.

Two Balatro challenges to go, and Jokerless is slowly grinding me into dust 🃏

I got the barriers spawning correctly :--) The track generation is still very much a work in progress, but it is slowly shaping up to what I had in mind. #GameDev #Godot3

Balatro is killing me. The gold stake difficulty spike is real.

Don’t really understand why people care about how others play video games! Want to use a guide? Go for it. Want to use an OP weapon?That’s cool. Want to play on the easiest difficulty? Knock yourself out! It’s a hobby and it’s meant to be fun. It’s your hard earned money. It’s your valuable time!

Perhaps this is a hot take, but I don't think you should have to pay to *checks notes* edit your character in a game

It's scandalous that there are so few major UK home-grown exhibitions about videogames, given the country's incredible legacy and talent. But which museums would see it as their responsibility to hold one? The V&A? Science Museum? Tate Modern? Design Museum?

I don't usually talk about politics on this profile but, I mean, fuuuuucking hell... the nerve of those pricks

Almost a million Steam concurrents for Monster Hunter Wilds, with the weekend yet to come 👀

I knew this would happen. That bastard Jimbo has taken over my life 🃏

Okay, I can see why Balatro was up for GOTY. Been playing a couple of hours now it's landed on Game Pass, and I'm hooked 🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏 (Of course I'm hooked, everyone gets hooked!)

The more I hear about KCD2, the clear it is that @warhorsestudios.bsky.social have made something special. Sounds like the ideal RPG to me. Tiny decisions and interactions have real impact? Sign me up! However... I've still got the first Kingdom Come to play... so it might be a while!

Man, I'm loving sneaking around in Sniper Elite: Resistance. Somehow managed to just lose two hours taking out Nazis from the shadows (and will be doing it all again tomorrow)... @sniperelite.com

So much good stuff shown during that PlayStation State of Play... Personal highlights: 🔹 Darwin’s Paradox 🔹 Dreams of Another 🔹 Dave the Diver DLC 🔹 Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii 🔹 Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 🔹 Days Gone Remastered 🔹 Blue Prince 🔹 MindsEye

🥰😍🥰

If Reddit has taught me anything, it's that some of you 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 need to clean your controllers

I just think it’s very funny that videogames act like it’s a normal thing to go up to a bartender or a shopkeeper and ask if they’ve heard any rumours.

Wow. This is probably going to be sorted pretty quickly... so get on it! #Xbox gg.deals/freebie/get-...

Reading some old issues of Official Dreamcast Magazine, as you do, and they're an amazing time capsule of turn-of-the-millennium fashion, photography, and graphic design.

I don't ever save scum. Big RPG choice, intense dialogue option, whatever. Living with my choices is what makes it impactful. Reverting and trying again because you "didn't get the best one" doesn't feel authentic to me. One save. That's it. Whatever happens, happens.

If big title video game prices go up to $80 or even $100 I will never buy one unless it's on sale. There are so many indie games out there for a fraction of the price that are just as much fun, if not more.

Extremely satisfying moments in video games: -Opening chests -Upgrading equipment -Beating an extremely difficult boss after multiple attempts -Finding a legendary item/weapon.

So we now have a Red Cipher controller. These are incredibly cool (I love translucent tech), but it also means I'm going to have to beg @xbox.com @xboxp3.bsky.social yet again for a green version. Please. Pretty please 💚

I've been meaning to add this game for years but this meme made me finally do it: I've added The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to The Death Generator, my tool for making fake videogame screenshots! deathgenerator.com#mw

For those out there leaving comments on posts from people who are excited about the Switch 2 like "I hope the Switch 2 fails." or "Nintendo sucks blah blah." Hey. Shut up. It's one thing to not like something, but to go out of your way to rain on someone's parade is baby behavior. Grow up.

So, when do we think they're gonna announce the Switch 2?

Why are there 8 people waiting for an Xbox Developer Direct that doesn't start for another week?
