I’ve legitimately been waiting to read this for months!!

"its hard to talk about a complex and multi-faceted subject that's also one of the most hotly debated topics on the planet that potentially touches many aspects of everyone's lives" yeah man this is the About Forty Words app. why're you trying to do all that on the About Forty Words app

TECH IS NOT 10 FASCIST FINANCIERS. TECH IS NOT SIX GUYS ON YOUTUBE PROMOTING THEIR PORTFOLIO. What do you think the demographics are of the half million tech workers who were laid off by the fascist tycoons? Who were the first people to bear the brunt for warning about harms of social media & LLMs?

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

Life has been super busy (moving back to Canada!! 🍁) but I’ve been making time for Silksong when I can, and the thing that keeps impressing me is how well the breadth of tools/crests/goals makes the significant late-game difficulty spike feel manageable, even if you’re playing inconsistently

No ICE in Minnesota bundle launches on itch.io

what a shot

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

This bangs really hard folks, $6 for probably the most inventive roguelike I've played in a while. So many smart ways of using the Keyboard as a game mechanic. The ultimate game for people that know Words

Obsessed with the announcer for Men’s short figure skating who saw Kagiyama’s performance and said “This is luxury. This is couture”. She’s right!!!

Announcer for Snowboarding Men’s Big Air hot mic’d saying “that was so boring” 😂

Genuinely devastated to find out the good Lululemon team Canada merch doesn’t ship to the US 😔 and the super cute Sports Club Atelier stuff is tariffed to hell and back. Canadians living abroad should get a waiver 😩 (I’m moving back home in 2 months so this is like, just pure whining atp)

Meet the unconventional publishers trying to unfuck the games industry: aftermath.site/indie-game-pub...

The people behind the excellent indie gems Judero and Mashina are crowdfunding their next game, ABIDE! They've so far been making games that breathe life into clay and kitbashed models in a way that constantly leaves me in awe. I can't wait to see what they do in a horror game. Consider supporting!

in 2026, let's bring back the concept of "selling out" and once again make it contemptible

this studios last game, Mashina, was one of my favourites last year. Also stop-motion but very different vibe! Other than Mad God, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen stop motion used to make adult horror before. This looks really unique and I very much hope it gets funded 🤞🏻

Our ABIDE KickStarter goes live tomorrow. We really need your support. Times are as they are. This game is something else! If you could help out tomorrow - backing the KickStarter, sharing the posts, spreading the word - I would be so, so grateful. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

"passive consumers of unthought thoughts" is such an elegant way to put slop-eaters

I have never subscribed to more magazines and more independent websites and blogs in my life. I will pay cash money for quality reporting and beautiful layouts. I'm sick of free garbage and there's plenty more people like me. The future is the world before facebook ruined... just about everything.

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

This is one of my larger data nerd takes but I really wish Steam had a metric for “qualified review score” , weighing reviews based on playtime - I’d do a minimum threshold but base it on average time to finish the game. Then shorter games aren’t penalized, but 0-minute players cant grief either

this is like basic table stakes for me at this point, i can cook my own food. i can do that every day! most days I do. so if I decided I'd like some random guy to deliver me something from a random restaurant, they're getting way more than whatever the faceless app says they deserve. simple!

Had a chance to try this at PAX West — loved the feel of the platforming and was very into the slice of the narrative I saw! Very excited to play more next month

LETS GO!! Mashina was an easy top 10 for me last year

gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it

Just found out that Music Millenium in Portland carries movies from every known boutique film label. I cannot be permitted to enter unaccompanied again lest my bank account suffer irreparable damage

Christ this oilers game is wild, just an absolute ton of great goals

Imagine pitching your users as too stupid to count. Jfc there are so many actual technical problems this shit could be used for and instead we’re pouring an economy-shattering amount into “help I’m too much of an incompetent moron to ORDER PIZZA”

You will never be delighted unless you risk being disappointed

I just FELL TO MY KNEES

Finally watching the x-files, “Blood” (S2E3) is one of the best “computers making people insane” stories I’ve ever seen

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

I went sicko mode and saw three AMAZING movies at the theater in three days! Genuinely such a fun way to use my last few days off. Also rewatched DWP, the outfit truly get better every time I see it

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to ABC News sources. The shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue. Updated 3:38pm PT January 8, 2026

Figuring out the logistics of moving back to Canada (selling our house, HR approvals, what items to bring) has generally sucked ass but is a decision I feel more sure of every day. What’s stunning is the number of well-meaning American friends who ask if we’re sure we’re not overreacting. Pardon???

Can someone in Seattle show this to SDOT so we can get the Ballard bridge “merge of death” sorted 😭

This is so perfectly up my alley and it comes out so soon!!! What a treat!

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026. store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...
