so. good. thank you for naming names. we're so far beyond "professional courtesy".

Great article

still recovering from games media frothing at the news Xbox wanted to *checks notes* “expand their market into China”. so boring!

games media will post about every Xbox embargo and feign sympathy in accordance to the latest press release about layoffs but they won't post about this

this episode is about the lines between journalist, influencer, and content creator—and the paranoia over when those roles overlap

The only podcast I trust with my life!

@serebii.bsky.social was this you?? what a nail biter!

i thought this was a cruise ship.

the revisionist history taking place with Ocarina of Time stems from largely inorganic experiences with the game. OoT is in fact very good on the N64 (not perfect, but do we want that?) and foundational for most millennial gamers. the game has high highs and low lows that broadened perspective.

Content Creators have their mission: DEFEND THE MARIO GALAXY MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!!! 🚨PODCAST: youtu.be/W0iqR63Ctsk?...

people endlessly dragged me in my video about genai in arc raiders saying that there's no proof that they used any and, even if they did, it was minimal during the development process i am currently accepting apologies from those people in the form of cash, you can venmo me here: @peter-szpytek

There is no ethical consumption, but who do we chose to act more ethically for? Is it just already easier to give up Harry Potter than Game Pass, Target than Halo? Or are the people hurt by HP and Target already within reach of us? Or: Does the refusal stem from where we are, or where we’re going?

listen, if this gets you to stop supporting Xbox and inadvertently participating in the BDS boycott, a win is a win i guess. but maybe think about why something insignificant happening to you directly sparked more outrage than a genocide.

Just leaving this here

"Why isn't Xbox issuing a takedown notice??" They don't want to! They profit off of this!! When you buy Xbox games, when you promote them uncritically, this is what you are helping fund.

are you feeling a March Nintendo Direct now Mr. Krabs?

thinking that CNN wasn't already state media is crazy.

XBOX IS MY FRIEND PIKACHU IS MY ENEMY CRITICAL ERROR: youtu.be/yDklFNXx34Y?...

Stop posting and respond in kind (and read Steven)

we all know “videogames don’t make you violent,” but what if they already have? By upholding business as usual with Microsoft, we are upholding the violence that Call of Duty aestheticizes and ICE operationalizes. If you are not boycotting Xbox's games you *are* participating in violence right now

We have a cultural problem in the USA that video games and their communities contribute to. Prosecute and abolish ICE. Video link below.

Not sure which Switch-port of the Kanto Remake to pick? Here's an infographic of Version Exclusive Pokémon in Fire Red and Leaf Green:

Yesssss Honey, wake up! New peak has dropped

They Trained You For This Nebula: go.nebula.tv/peterspittech Patreon: patreon.com/peterspittech

There is a link between gaming culture and the culture of ICE. They're Call of Duty cosplayers who need their opponents to be children in order to feel like real men. Prosecute and abolish ICE. My new video is live now on Nebula and Patreon.

This is the best video Peter's done.

speechless. incredible work by peter.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

gamers mourning the slow death of a video game company complicit in genocide. r.i.p. standards i guess.

you guys ever think about how there are only five more sleeps til Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green release on the Nintendo Switch Family of Systems?

been in a wheel chair and using crutches for about a month in a half - i am a week out from walking and the temptation to start early is overwhelming. being able to walk and carry things at the same time is a luxury i didn’t appreciate.

the price discourse being pushed to today due to Big P.S. "retiring" is hilarious.

the games industry is not collapsing - a loser manager got fired from a company assisting with a genocide. pump the brakes folks.

Good time to tap the sign

folks are acting like Big Phil is their dad.

I understand that nobody wants to talk about this because acknowledging it means the ongoing BDS call and acknowledging that means you have to give up your toys, but it should be the first, last, and only thing we discuss when we talk about Xbox and I will bang this drum for as long it goes on.

Yeah, it's a shame about the whole "making money off of the genocide of Palestinians" thing that the company is doing, though.

man, i rarely try to go to the other site, but took a quick peek into Twitter and jfc, the amount of "hey grok, modify this woman" posts is incredibly gross. why tf are people staying there!?

"But I do think culturally we are back to brunch." This month in Dialogue, @austinwalker.bsky.social goes long on craft, industry, and doing the work.

Walker has garnered a lot of well-earned respect in this space, and I’d love to see that respect extend beyond his presence to his principles. If we value his perspective, that should include the parts that make us uncomfortable. being aligned is not enough. unwinnable.com/2026/02/11/a...

nothing grinds my gears more that seeing people acknowledge the horrors we are all witnessing, posting about it online, and yet taking zero action against these atrocities. stop doom posting and feed your unhoused neighbors or some shit idk.

man, the full blown fall apart this Discord news is causing is kinda surprising me - just don't participate? accept the default settings? surely the power to swear and look at porn isn't enough to cause these heightened mental breakdowns.

i lucked out big time

is the QB of the Patriots 4 years old? it’s like a toddler got hit with a “Wumbo Ray”.
