The game in which the premise is "the odds are real but gamers struggle to conceptualize or even believe them" has negative reviews from gamers who don't believe the odds are real (game: Unfair Flips)

is this good

Brutal but fair.

kayin.moe/silksong Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌 I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading. 💬Replies will show up as comments

The best time to boycott Xbox and Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now. Focused, targeted boycotts work, this one is working, and all you got to do to support it is go play other games. Literally the least you could do in this moment in history

Huh.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Tremendously sad news. Carpe Fulgur was the first localization outfit I can remember that focused on bringing Japanese indie games to Steam, back in the pre-Greenlight days when it was a struggle just to get Valve to take notice of you. They were real trailblazers in the indie localization scene.

Congrats to the BDS. FREE PALESTINE.

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Pretty much every game I've played this year has been either a Nintendo game or an indie/small studio game. It has been a hilariously bad year for AAA gaming but an unbelievably good year for everything else.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

I am very glad that the roaster I buy from honored the original price of their subscription this year despite the normal per-bag price going up. Who knows know how long that will last for given these trends, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

happy 9/11 — cygames actually listened

Btw, Silksong's script stands at about 90.000 words total. A pro TL would need about 2 months to translate that much, and that's with an additional editor pass.

Ah, but this isn't the right type of political violence to be concerned about. Sorry

this is not a difficult choice, folks

the fucking trick shot

congrats to the soulless media corporations on finding the one thing even more inane and pointless than the intern-written listicle

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

That one PC98 game with the elf in it. You know... the one with the rude protagonist. This random test I'm doing is getting out of hand. Game engine video footage in the works... #pixelart #ドット絵 #pc98

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

put this shit in the louvre

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

I was a translator at Funimation. After the CR merger, I got laid off, despite having recently received high feedback on my work. My manager called me two days before Christmas to tell me I was off the Winter season anime I had just started on.🥲

Inshallah

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Hell yeah, let's go

A wild problem to have considering how readily available the retail units are. They were able to flood retail channels but they can't get dev kits into the hands of developers? What are they doing over there?

It's just now hitting me that I have basically zero interest in the MGS3 remake despite the original being one of my favorite games of all time. I don't think they could've made a less appealing remake to me if they tried. I'd rather just play Subsistence on an emulator at this point.

Also people keep asking me if I find AI translation helpful in my work and AI TRANSLATION IS NOWHERE NEAR COMMERCIAL QUALITY and NO I DON'T EDIT AI TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER FOR ME TO JUST DO THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION THAN EDIT CRAP because PAINTING CRAP WITH GOLD DOESN'T TURN CRAP INTO GOLD

This wall I've been talking to has been making a lot of great points.

In Friday the 13th for the NES, when you're exploring the lakeside cabins, Jason can randomly pop up and fight you. Nowadays it's clear the game kind of sucks, but when you're like five years old, it's pretty spooky!

Sincerely, good luck beating it in time. 30 - 40 hour first playthrough, btw

Kana will release Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki’s acclaimed thriller "Billy Bat" in English, begining June 2026.

This feature doesn't even use ai lol. They're just using a new primitive type that is good for hair rendering and Blackwell has hardware-level support for. It's more efficient per hair strand than the old technique, but new technology is scary and bad I guess.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law

One of the best things about the Switch 2 has been indie games adopting 120hz. Mina feels so good at 120hz, so it's super cool to see more games adopt high refresh rates.
