God fuck offffff

Horror people turn up for unfamiliar movies with unproven directors and no-name actors. Horror people are the ones who don't use "low-budget" as a pejorative. Horror people will watch horror from 100 years ago. It's not weird that horror people are like this, it's weird that other genre fans aren't.

it took my sister and me *years* to beat the final level (bicycle) in barbie super model may the younger generation have greater luck than we

i can really imagine coach mcgirk saying "It's a tool, Brendan." then having full blown ai psychosis later in the episode

Why is it when people post stuff from a mysterious 'cancelled project' it's always the most visually-interesting, unique and innovative thing you've seen in decades? Yeah sure cancel it, make another grey game where you slowly sneak up behind people and press square to a Takedown, that'll do.

Heck yeah Alt text: four pairs of images, comparing Laufey from the new God of War to very similar screen captures of Deborah Anne Woll in live-action performances.

thinking about this post today for Absolutely No Reason

lol tom holland went to film one (1) tightly run movie and then came back to the MCU like what the fuck have we been doing variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Saw this on FB. If you’ve ever enjoyed Aqua Teen, please help if you can. Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

This guy is so Dad coded. I love it. Wearing his Pride sticker like he's at parents weekend at college and he's supporting his recently out kid. Says things like "here comes trouble" when you walk in the room

the idea Steyer is uniquely corroding democracy by spending his own money when Beccera's getting the max from Evil McEvil Inc is very silly

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

it’s PRIDE MONTH 🍻

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter

I've seen a lot of comments about engineers "happily" gaming bad metrics to make their work easier, but I've never met a (good) test analyst who didn't HATE bug quotas. It's simple: quotas punish thorough investigation and reduce quality. There are ALWAYS easier, lower-severity bugs to find.

Looking like "Backrooms," a movie based on an Internet meme, will open to $70 million-plus this weekend. Hard to understate what a huge deal that would be for a movie business that's been obsessed with corporate-managed IP as the only reliable way to get butts in seats.

continue to be a fan of For All Mankind for a lot of reasons, but a big one is that they know how to pick real bangers for season finale music

My mental conception of of Valve is that it’s mostly a bunch of well meaning nerds all working on various projects like getting HDMI to work in Linux and then there’s one office where Dana Carvey as the Church Lady works and just decides which yuri VNs are a thought felony.

This is how America is really going to be celebrating

i need a star trek game that's just diplomacy and courtroom dramas the only action, if any, functions as relevant inciting incidents

my biggest advice to any freelancer who is looking to work in the games industry is to Always Apply To That Job. even if you aren’t 100% qualified, having your name and resume known to the studio you are applying to can get you work in the future.

Just sayin’, all the Trails games are on Steam and they are the most consistently excellent JRPG series out there

MASSIVE fan of this one:

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

new high watermark for posts just dropped

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

don't pretend this wasn't formative for you and everyone on here

this is where i finally tell bluesky that i used to work for tom and the worst thing i can say about him is i think it’s a failure of imagination that he still has so much money

if you haven’t seen this show you’ve missed a critical turn, please reverse, go back, take the anointed path

Started watching Monarch last night and all I could think of was Wyatt Russell is "We have Jared Keeso at home"

At the risk of sounding like a Luddite again, I don't think chasing the bleeding edge of graphics tech is actually a good thing for most game developers. You want the broadest possible market. Target low spec hardware. I frequently quote Gunpei Yokoi's "lateral thinking with withered technology."

My opponent wants to tell you "Shaka when the walls fell." Well what about Shaka when the walls were up, mister?! I'm here to look to the FUTURE. A vote for me is a vote for a walled Shaka, plain and simple. So when you're in that voting booth, Temba his arms wide (for me, not opponent)!

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@alecrobbins.bsky.social has been summoned to battle

even as a child, my dream was to create value for shareholders

There's a thread going around that correctly states that Pullman Porters were poorly treated for mostly racist reasons, and were some of America's earliest tipped workers as an outgrowth of servant-style labor expectations imposed on former slaves, but a bunch of the thread's details are wrong.

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

still not even remotely a game for me, but also still the best towns i've ever seen in an rpg

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

today in things they let me do at work www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

this is a masterpiece

Seeing people getting mad about the new Yoshi game getting good reviews despite having a nontraditional level of challenge got me thinking about the opening to this Yoshi’s Story FAQ that has lived rent-free in my mind since 1999

Modern Dog magazine FEELS like a prop from a movie where dogs became the dominant species on Earth, but unlike a movie prop, every page inside is filled with the information that, presumably, today's modern dogs demand

fiscally conservative? heavens no. fiscally shy

Seeing a lot of language from critics suggesting that a game studio should RADICALLY change their systems between games and I've almost never seen you guys do this with Ubisoft, Naughty Dog, Bethesda, etc, etc, etc.

every guy who posts about “hunter gatherers” is flummoxed by the washing machine
