This was a blast. I think I'm just bad at looking at these YRF movies objectively because they tick every box when it comes to what I like about action movies. Kickass action sequences, always setting up their characters as the coolest people alive and a huge amount of over the top twists and turns

Smugly chuckling at the curious thought of how many people will be going back into their archives to quietly delete their “he can’t be all bad”, “purity testing”, “vote blue no matter who”, “why don’t we give him a chance insteaf of laying judgement” and other white dude apologia based posting hits.

btw specifically i want to call out ninja theory for not just choosing to create a hero protagonist with psychosis, but also for working closely with people who've experienced it to make sure they were a) getting it right and b) depicting it with compassion and thoughtfulness. that's so, so rare

I already made the ultimate category killing platner post seven months ago but you heathens are unable to recognize greatness on here *continues to chagrin*

BIG BARDA A VGen comm for @geekycitizen.bsky.social, who gave me an excuse to do one of my favourite things in the world and play with Kirby visuals. #art #illustration #digitalart #vgencomm I have comms open at: vgen.co/Sarkastiklover

In the end, it's still you #Δ帽子 #witchhatatelier

Negotiations are taking longer with Arkane because of "strict French labor laws" just means Msft can't do whatever they want in countries with reasonable protections for workers. Something to think about.

Here’s some things I wrote for publications back when I was allowed to have bylines before Trump won again www.polygon.com/playstation/...

it completely checks out that the CEO of a major company has absolutely no experience with the product and despises the little piggies who want it

this puts a lot into perspective, because *I'm* 43 yeah I got some grey hair, but... god damn

Some (late) Korrasami for pride~

if you’d like to communicate securely about today’s layoffs, you can do so via signal (nathangrayson.666) or proton mail ([email protected]). interested in hearing not just from those who’ve lost jobs, but also those tasked with picking up the pieces after teams have been cut the to bone

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

I used to have to be a relatively impartial voice because that's how beat journalism works But I'm not a beat journalist anymore for anything, let alone comics, so I feel no difficulty in drawing a hard line in the sand when it comes to Neil Gaiman You're either with him or me; can't be both!

when I think of a cool guy fighting game protagonist who fights with big fire punches to sweet guitars, i think of Kyo Kusanagi and it isn't even close. every Esaka song goes hard as hell. Goodbye Esaka makes me tear up every time I hear it and i've listened to it like three times this morning.

Anyway, appreciate how the story of 28 YEARS LATER I & II is "the weirdo who's into heavy metal and skull art is nothing to be afraid of. the man child obsessed with stuff he watched as a kid though..."

Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.

ngl I was worried about Double Fine when they got picked up by Xbox all those years ago I'm very glad this story has a happy ending, and Double Fine can continue to do Double Fine things

There's a reason why Arkane is a separate line both here and in the Xbox statement when compared to other studios French labor law requires a consultation process with the studio’s works council to ensure there is actual justification for the move and that all alternatives have been exhausted first

Another GODZILLA cuz I guess this is all I wanna draw now

Steps in getting to a billion gamers a day: - Fire 1600 people every month - Those 1600 people [cascading] have to stay home - They buy Xboxes???? - a billion

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

Yuen Woo-ping delivers an instant classic that is essentially a wuxia Fury Road! Epic in scope, fun memorable characters, amazing costume and set design all elevated by mind blowing surprisingly bloody fight scenes, great wirework and fantastic performances from an all star cast!

Anyway, @trungles.com read Pride and Prejudice and has some *very* fun thoughts about it, and also wrote and illustrated this beautiful, precious book that you can hold in your hands if you want. 📚💙

Sure Microsoft may have fired thousands of people and gutted its games division but at least it had more money to pour into Copilot, the 4th most popular AI, a product nobody wants or likes except rich executives, that is constantly losing horrendous amounts of money

"I want one billion players a day" is like what your toddler says when you ask how many pieces of chocolate they would like.

"I used this generative tool to make concept art" people in the 17th century made shit up all the time from scratch, be better

Love following gaming news. My other interests include deep paper cuts and drinking troughfuls of dysentery water

this is similar to how for primary education they support drill instructor cram school for public school kids and send their own kids to new age feelgoodery type schools. there's no contradiction there, they want ridgid thoughtless discipline for workers and autonomy and creativity for future rulers

Charlotte Graham-McLay had a lot of fun writing this and it shows 🤣🤣🤣

the way Harada describes Sakurai is gonna make me fucking cry laughing dude

I'm in the "it's not especially difficult" camp, but not because I'm some kind of super gamer or that it's supposedly "easy" Dark Souls is challenging, but it lays out what it expects you to do (and how vigilant you need to constantly be) it may sometimes be opaque about it, but that's the charm
