Seen a LOT of criticism over this, which prompts me to ask: do other people in games genuinely believe that studios don't use Gen AI tools for... drafting docs, some form of art, programming, code review, infrastructure, live ops, monitoring, etc etc?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Ah yes, a classic of the genre....

Nothing says "Nobel Peace Prize" more than continually threatening that your Department of War will prepare to invade other countries

God its a joy to watch Bumrah bowl, no matter what format...

Normally really enjoy Preet Bharara's podcast but his interview with Dan Senor was a fucking disgrace. What Israel is doing is genocide. To not push back on that at all and just shy away from it, to accept his explanation of the civilian death toll being acceptable is disgusting

It blows my mind that the USA elected someone whose attitude is literally "I shit on the people of this country" and half the country is just like "thats cool"

Ad-free @theverge.com podcasts is finally what tipped me over to subscribe. Thanks for finally adding this :D

No, Bluesky. I am definitely not writing in Swedish.

Man I really want to like the Files app (files.community) but its performance, particularly on startup, is absolute dogshit...

Storm have been horrendous in this second half. Lucky to only be 4 down and still have a chance... absolutely basic errors #NRL

has reece walsh played maybe the best ever 7 weeks of rugby? #NRL

#NRL confuses me. Hughes is on report for standing still, so its equally as bad of an action for Walsh who is on report for a shoulder charge?

The short, sharp Welcome to Country is the best. Enough to be a good, respectful acknowledgement without dragging on and annoying people like the absolute train wreck before the Hawks/GWS final.

So just to clarify. When Democrats are in power and there's a government shutdown, its the Democrats fault. When Republicans are in power and there's a government shut down, its the Democrats fault. Did I get that right?

How in the actual fuck did NWM not get 3 votes for his game against Melbourne!? #Brownlow #AFL

Hello police, yes i'd like to report a crime of matt rowell stealing votes every single round. #AFLBrownlow

When was the last time we had a following match not-scheduled for one fall? #Wrestlepalooza #WWE

At least one of those kids needed to come down to the rig and get F5'd. #Wrestlepalooza

Entrances like this show how ill-conceived Cena's heel turn was... #WWE #Wrestlepalooza

That is 100% a free kick, but its also just funny to see Collingwood fans freak out. #AFLPiesLions

Quaynor just put Ashcroft in a head lock in front of the umpire and he was like "Na, all good, play on I reckon". Bias at its best. #AFLPiesLions

I, too, could drop easy chest marks in a big game of footy, feel free to draft me. #AFLPiesLions

Was it a great rendition Howie? Was it really? #AFL #AFLPiesLions

@reckless.bsky.social are we getting a 7hr "Brendan Carr is a dummy" episode of the Vergecast when you return?

I, for one, am SHOCKED that two podcasters who fired all of the good FBI agents while yelling "DEI" are struggling to find a murderer.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

GWS played 3 and a half atrocious quarters of footy, this should not have been this close... #AFL #AFLGiantsHawks

Did Howie just say that Sam Butler missed 400 games with a broken leg? #AFL #AFLGiantsHawks

Lets hope the pre-game has not set the tone for this match... horrendous. #AFL

Nothing says "I am anti-war" more than renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

What happened to the dissent rule? Crows should have given away 17 free kicks in the last few minutes with their bitching to the umpires... #AFLNorthCrows

The thing I learned from that score review is that the commentators do not understand the rules... #AFL #AFLNorthCrows

decent day at the office for harry sheezel #AFL

Why do square leg umpires stand at the stump line rather than the crease line in international cricket? Is it purely so they are not in the way of cameras for stumping/run out reviews? #AUSvSA

Would it have killed the RBA to just add that little .1% so we had a nice round number?

This is some pretttttty shit batting #AUSvSA

Have many people made the switch from Visual Studio to VSCode specifically for C# development? VSCode feels like it gets WAY more love than VS these days. VS feels antiquated and clunky...

one day @alexeheath.com will call it GPT5 not GTP5 on the vergecast, i believe

What an amazing finish to an amazing test and an amazing series. #ENGvIND

That is some absolutely ballsy shit from Chris Woakes. #ENGvIND

This is going to be one of the all-time great chokes one way or the other. #ENGvIND

After seeing the trailers for Octopath Traveler 0 and Adventures of Elliot... I don't regret getting a Switch 2 now.

WE GOT SO FUCKING WORKED #WWESummerslam

I think that was the worst first 10 minutes of a PLE ever. #WWE #WWESummerslam

This season of Dexter is pretty damn good

Exhibit 1A of why competitive games are just completely broken. 47-4 Baptiste on the opposition team. Smurf or hacking, multi-billion dollar companies can't fix this shit.

WHAT A FUCKING INCREDIBLE WIN!!!!! #AFL

Who has been worse this weekend - Essendon, North Melbourne, or India?

What a disgraceful performance from North... #AFL
