I understand celebrating someone's death gives some people the ick but ideologically opposed people throwing up over themselves to be as nice as possible to win imaginary civility points in a game we've already all lost is just embarrassing

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

*AEW spoilers I guess* I'm seeing people angry that ol' Tony Khan fumbled a seemingly obvious MJF/Ospreay build for Wembley but without even watching I knew he was never gonna go that direction because they've already had a title match at Wembley so it would be a crime to do it again

I was asked to design these stickers for @gamegrumps.bsky.social and they were kind enough to send A LOT to me including freebies. Thank you dear @kub.zone you're a sweetie 🥹

That scene

that Burnham video on Gaza is the most vapid calculated "look at me I'm saying something but I'm not actually" statement imaginable, the bare minimum of a gesture to keep the centrist cope alive

I'm localish to Clacton and all the local normie media stuff that pops up on my feed that's usually filled with gammons complaining about potholes and Turkish barbers is now overwhelmingly filled with people excited about Binface (DISCLAIMER: the internet is not real)

oh my god finally I've been banging out about how insane it is for this not to be a feature since the game came out

that DF clip about Sony killing discs did bring up a good point that often is overlooked that the whole "85% of game sales are digital anyway" argument is Technically True but mostly bullshit, that doesn't remotely reflect the true demand for physical media

Count Binface is getting more scrutiny and followup questions from the BBC about his policies and manifesto than any Reform politician has in the last two years

I FOUND IT twitter.com/ChiyokoMusic...

Sony blindsided its own partners with their "kill discs" strategy. We heard from multiple insiders that 3rd party had no clue it was coming. Now a report suggests 1st party/AAA was steamrolled too. Sony screws the industry, and doesn't even give its own folks time to brace.

deleted my earlier thread about Clacton cos I didn't read shit at the time and misunderstood some of the facts but here's the picture of my cat again cos it's very important

if hiring a guy to work on your game is such obviously a bad idea that you have to hide it and dodge the question when asked directly you could like y'know...not hire that guy...

Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

consoles are bad are stupid in the big ol' 2026 but do people have to keep embarrassing themselves with "man idk why anyone would want a console just get a PC dude" posts, no you can't get a decent prebuilt PC for less than a PS5 do you read the news ever "well just build one then" shhuttttt upppppp

セレナーデの日

i couldnt help myself

The game industry is so fucking back

I was excited when I saw Chris Van Viola had done an interview with Jeff Jarrett but unfortunately it's one of those interviews where the subject is too good of a worker for it to be interesting

as ever I am way out of the loop on the rasslin' outside of what I hear and see second hand but the fact Punk lives so rent free in everyone's minds that dirtsheets just made up another controversy around him while he sat at home and did nothing for three months is so funny

finally finished my Dragon Ball manga set red cover cards, fortunately I got most of them before the prices went nuts but now I will be buried with them

even Youtube doesn't get close to a billion users per day what fkn planet do corpo execs live on

every time I see a clip from Digital Foundry especially on any topic adjacent to AI I want to adopt John Linneman just to give him a home anywhere but there

Mew Mew !!! 🩷✨ #deltarunespoilers

okay idk who needs to hear this, but Seven Dollars might be another Birdbrain situation. this song slaps and also is the most fucking relatable thing I've ever listened to youtu.be/ldKoXzVdMGw?...

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

i am quite weirded out by people who have entirely ignored BDS for a year now using the word boycott when describing their feelings towards playstation because of physical games

#MinishCap #zelda #tloz

realising way too late that for me to go back and finish what I missed in Deltarune Chap 3 and carry it forward to future chapters I need to go back and redo Chap 3, 4 AND 5 which means I gotta endure that secret boss again the moral of the story is to not play games on console

I am already so tired of the "ermm actually" defences for Sony (and let's be real, eventually everyone) killing off physical games, everything is doomed to get worse because everytime corps demand we make yet another concession the dumbest people alive have to be The Smartest Guy In The Room

the Sony news isn't surprising at all obviously but the reality is that this is going to make big budget games a much smaller part possibly non-existent part of my life, there's so little coming out that I'd be willing to hard commit to a £70+ digital purchase on I'll just end up skipping most games

knew as soon as I saw Robo-Ky's theme was over six minutes long and this comment we were in for a party www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFG...

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

my girlfriend hasn't played Deltarune, doesn't care about Deltarune, has never really paid any attention watching me play Deltarune but we established today she can hum the entirety of Lancer's theme off the top of her head so I'm worried I've inflicted some psychological damage on her

I'm a console baby at heart and I think consoles (should) have their place as entry level tech but I cannot imagine paying over £1000 for a digital only console surely this has to be the end

how does Bluesky still not have spoiler tags I can't post that new Susie sprite that's hilarious No not that one, a DIFFERENT one

I was a little anxious about how little Deltarune Chap 5 chatter I was seeing anywhere but it turns out it rules and everyone was just being polite

I am trying not to salt out over the Deltarune Chapter 5 secret boss, this is my post in PLACE of a salt out but that's not what it is okay

still not in love with Tokon's soundtrack a lot of it still sounds like someone left the Xrd soundtrack in the dishwasher but it's shaping up better than the betas implied and there are a few highlights youtu.be/uikqLsxEBCY?...

I can understand the logic behind the calculation to frontload with issues that will materially benefit everyone's lives and not leave threads for bad faith opposition to drag every single media appearance into "can you define a woman tho????" but it's still fucking wrong

I've never used any kind of AI on purpose in my life but I will admit I do have a weakness for genAI wrestling videos when they show up randomly in my reel feed because the technology just cannot figure out the mechanics of that whatsoever

I like the MvC3 take on Deadpool where they just tried to lean into how annoying he would be to fight but the Tokon approach of "we can just give him all the coolest moves from every character in every game as get away with it as a parody" is extremely valid also

I promises myself when I get all my big bills cleared I was allowed to buy myself one stupid thing and now they're paid and the stupid thing is here!

The official English localized name of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is Devilish Deeds Done Damned Coldly

too cool for school

I have to say I don't think interest in EVO was down this year had that much to do with boycotts, I think both fighting games and tournaments in general are in the midst of an identity crisis and it's an organic decline in interest because everyone can feel something's missing
