NEW VIDEO ALERT: Steam just updated the store tags for the first time in YEARS. The changes can tell us a lot about what's happening in games right now - and what issues Steam hopes to ignore. youtu.be/2qTnn3RoDUU

when will the rest of you learn to love Betty Gilpin like I love her

I love thinking about tagging structures.

I try not to think about genre terminology, mainly because I have a tumor that drives me into a rage when I think about the increasing meaningless of the, "RPG," descriptor, but this is an interesting and well-organized write-up of Steam's tag changes.

a game I have been looking forward to FOR YEARS just quietly dropped. Rose and Locket blew me away when I played the demo several PAX ago - a 2D platformer with incredible, cinematic design and bizarre level design. Cannot wait to dig in! store.steampowered.com/app/1697850/...

In about an hour @thejenna.bsky.social and I will be back to co-op-ing Elden Ring. Will we make any meaningful progress? Maybe no. But will we have lots of jokes and goofs? Absolutely. Watch Here:

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

According to Steam, the "Indie" tag is the second most popular tag on the platform (after Singleplayer). It's applied to about 53% of all games on Steam! I wish I could have included that in this video for Extra Credits about what "indie" means these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DP8...

people who leave timestamp comments for when livestreams properly start are the backbone of the youtube community

fellow content creators, do any of y'all have the Elgato teleprompter? It's on sale right now and I considering it, curious how well it functions.

The first episode of our new @propublica.org podcast, “Paper Trail,” is out! And we’ve got a doozy — it’s about a secretive FDA policy that my colleagues spent two years uncovering. What they found, I have to admit, actually scared me … 🧵

Valve's house style has Muppet DNA in the mix, thanks to a Jim Henson Company puppeteer that helped the studio bring its characters to life:

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

great news, this order arrived and it was missing 1 of the 2 shirts I ordered. shorted 50% of the plain black t-shirts I paid for.

Yall we got 2 days to get this bad bitch funded! We packed so much weird shit into this, and you are not gonna wanna miss if! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar...

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Next up, we have a story by @jayasaxena.com about chef Telly Justice of the queer fine dining destination HAGS in New York, and her mission to spread the gospel of pay-what-you-can dining, to occasionally allow customers to determine how much money (if any) they pay for a meal.

The first comes from @aemccarthy.bsky.social, who looks into the future of the American sports bar and how women (business owners, fans, and athletes) and the omnipresent business of sports betting are each changing just what a sports bar is.

After many months of planning, meeting, writing, and learning a lot more about finance than any of us thought we would in our careers, and after April’s month-long subscriber drive that has brought so many of you to us, we have officially arrived at Day 1 of Ravenous. We have two stories for you.

I interviewed Sam Reich! He's obviously very funny, but I've been wanting to ask him about his thoughts on game design for years – he does a lot more of it than your average game show host! I'm really happy with how this turned out
