I think the hardest part about trying to have a career in games is all the indignities

hey man... what the fuck..... this fucking sucks. so many studios with so many people...

If you're going to talk or write about all of this, through our anger and sadness, all I ask is that you discuss with intention, love, and care while centering the people directly impacted. There are very real people with very real lives behind the games you consume. Support them. Hire them.

The Verge: Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory "Staffers were told on a call on Monday about the closure, but they are hoping the studio will find a buyer." www.theverge.com/games/950204...

WHICH ONE WILL IT BE, 30-YEAR-OLD FURRY ARTIST??? #shitpost

One of the most devastating stories to read. This is what happens when mega studios continue to just consume smaller studios. The amount of creativity we are losing is absolutely immeasurable

Great, now I miss the clown 🙄 #Art | #FFVI | #FFXIV

Indie games are so cool because sometimes you can be absorbed in a visual novel for days, sometimes you can be collecting and raising beautiful creatures, and sometimes you can be Fuck’s Quest

gettings recommendations from a person who's played 20 indie games: you absolutely must play outer wilds, don't look anything up first, trust me on this one gettings recommendations from a person who's played 500 indie games:

still really want to design my nicobar pigeon Rito / aarocokra character... my most favorite bird of all time...

🕊️ Happy #NationalPigeonDay! He-Man and Hermie, our stunning Nicobar pigeons, with their iridescent plumage and regal presence, are a far cry from your average pigeon. They call our Avian Propagation Center home, but you can often spot them along the Nurture Trail on your next visit!

Neiman Marcus workers like damn guess we're doing hooves now

ok i finalized my faves. there's a real throughline in them, as you can probably tell. i honestly think my baby team is pretty solid

The SF6 tournament at Evo Japan 2026 set a world record for largest tournament turn-out. A steep decline in Evo Vegas attendance doesn't signal anything for the popularity of fighting games. It DOES signal the US becoming a hostile travel destination, a bad economy, & Evo spreading itself too thin.

Doing the Pokémon chart for favorite types in each gen then selecting your favorite overall type and I’ve discovered almost every favorite of mine is just a round guy. They have nearly the same silhouette all of them

A joyful thing that happened today is that in order to post something to my attention, Enko posted it in the labubu channel of a discord server and to be seen is to be loved tbh

Happy group chats day

whenever these bozos keep using obviously generated images

Mobile games are truly insidious and if you actually delve into the psychology behind them you’re likely to discover some incredibly reprehensible stuff. Even the most stalwart free to play users of a mobage don’t realize the impact it has on their psyche. It’s actually wild.

Are you a Pokémon Go player of any era who has feelings about how the game's data has been used? Has it soured your memories of the game? Have you stopped playing because of it? Would you want to chat about it for a Kotaku story? Please reach out here or email me at [email protected]

extremely happy that we opened up commenting to all paid subs during the move to ghost, it's become such a livelier community under posts. (we used to have it locked to $10 subs, turns out that was a dumb move!)

Lately with art it’s kinda hard to actually find time to get into a groove or “flow state” so I have just been throwing stuff on the tablet for a few minutes then revisiting it days later and throwing more stuff; rinse/repeat. It feels more accessible that way

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't say this but ahahah. I am very angry. So I went to Xbox's Fan Fest event to attend a preview event. And it was the most flagrant display of wealth imaginable. Five stories filled with caterers and hundreds of smiling faces there to assure me of the brand's strength.

Don't mind me, I just found a good excuse to repost my Majora's Mask saga with the new 10 photos feature.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Ok I’m sorry I do have to say this one thing before I shut up about video games people like. It’s 2026… you really don’t know how to render a person of color by this point? Really? That’s crazy

i'm bouncing on it kasa-obake style.

Please play Final Fantasy Resonance. 😭❤️ I can't believe FFBE will live on!!

For reasons industry related I have found myself having a strange relationship with game announcements. I have somehow become a Hater and with this in mind I shall keep my opinions to myself!! Enjoy your video games! Life is short! Spend money responsibly but have fun!

OH MY GOD I NEED TO GET BACK INTO NJPW LITERALLY RIGHT NOW

me at the office vs me at the club

The camera operator was overtaken by something #NJPW

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

This is why trans comedy is peak humor. Celia’s Stupid Romhack may actually just be the best thing ever.

When companies say they “generate only for concept art and then recreate it with human hands” what that means to me is that they don’t place any integrity in imagination and human creativity. You mean you can’t imagine a taxi hurtling down a hill really fast? You’ve literally already done this…

i like this article on japanese wikipedia (autotranslated in my browser)

Just spent most of today organizing my fftcg into nice piles separated by elements and cost and made a gimmick deck called “Women Love Me, Fish Also Love Me” so overall a pretty chill day
