Sure, go award Celebrity Family Feud, I guess

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

Remember, this isn't about getting rid of "ownership" specifically. It's about snuffing out a free market. Physical games have always been about choosing where you make purchases. Competition between retailers. Now, funnel your cash into PlayStation directly, to play games how they say you can.

three months ago I thought the Celtics could make the Finals. today Jaylen Brown is a Sixer... two months after we lost to the Sixers in a first round collapse. life moves fast.

MUST BE NICE

Killing video games... for this.

The Witcher star talks with Polygon about his 'great journey' as the voice of Geralt

Had a great time chatting with Doug Cockle about two decades as The Witcher's Geralt. Very happy with how this turned out, and big thanks to @marioprime.bsky.social for the help as always! www.polygon.com/witcher-game...

adding today's Barnes & Noble Criterion sale pickups to the... four entire shelves of movies I haven't watched yet

While generative AI is threatening to infiltrate animation, stop-motion is pushing back in a big (and handmade) way. www.avclub.com/stop-motion-...

So many AI dorks calling themselves “prompt engineers” thinking they’re the best at asking a computer the right question for shitty art, yet would be befuddled by two brothers standing at a fork in the road claiming that one only lies while the other only tells the truth.

screw GTA6, the biggest news of the day so far is Phoebe Bridgers announcing her new album is coming out in August www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

FYI -- there's a sale on at Bookshop! You can find all my works there, including some translations. You can even pre-order my forthcoming "Red Dirt Witch" gn adaptation! Buying from Bookshop is a great way to support indie bookstores. bookshop.org/beta-search?...

So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

what little bitches these players are. good on the team for still holding the pride night in spite of their players

It’s a clever promotional tie-in because that’s what Logan calls him.

🎮 From Final Fantasy VII: Revelation and God of War Laufey to TMNT: The Last Ronin, Wolverine, Spyro: A Realm Beyond, and more, AIPT's staff picked the game reveals that stole the show at Summer Games Fest 2026. 🚀🔥 Which announcement has you hyped?

"Let’s start with the argument that 'girls can't be witchers.' It's a messy claim," writes @katyar.bsky.social:

Little Devil Inside is making that six-year wait for Silksong look like a breeze

With a dash of Death Stranding on the side.

I don't think it's fair that Donald Trump gets to feel safer at a Knicks game as an authoritarian president than I do when I wear a Celtics t-shirt.

Amid the flurry of SGF reveals I chatted with @shaimatheson.bsky.social about finding his Batman voice for Lego Batman and about Batman's legacy. www.polygon.com/lego-batman-...

excited to enjoy even more Jans stressing me TF out

Nobody is happy that Yakuza studio's next game is performing digital necromancy on Tupac aftermath.site/summer-game-fe...

They're putting Tupac in a Yakuza game with "Snoop Dogg's blessing." Snoop Dogg shills for anything. He would dig up Tupac's bones and shoot them out of a cannon into the sea if it meant a paycheck.

Art is limitations! Not having money for CG means you have to reach deeper within yourself to find something you can do with what you have! That is what being an artist is! www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...

Deborah Ann Woll we need you on SHELF QUEST

When the full game is out I want to see a hypercut video where every time Kratos & Atreus mourn for Laufey it then says "meanwhile" and cuts to her air juggling 5 demons to heavy metal music.

i too am team cube

so. many. games. and they all come out in september! www.polygon.com/playstation-...

For Overwatch's 10th anniversary, I spoke with five people involved since its days as Project Prometheus (and the doomed Titan project). Lots in here: its "blessed" dev cycle and quick fall from grace, plus candid details about regaining player and team trust www.polygon.com/overwatch-or...

"He's a menace ... I WANT SPIDER-MAN!" J.K. Simmons is at the Mets game tonight and ran into a familiar face 😂

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

lmao

[walks up to the jukebox] hmmm let me play That Song I Like but I think i'll pick The Shitty Version this time

The Dropout CEO and Game Changer host on violating Disney copyright, encouraging sexual harassment, and his upcoming "favorite episode of all time."

knowing that @samreich.bsky.social read this now I must know what his top 10 would look like!

Inside you there are two wolves

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

well, joke's on past me because they're all my favorite

Players review bombed the game after its devs encouraged the use of generative AI

looking forward to hearing where jordan goes next after voicing all those jans www.polygon.com/alters-alex-...

my main takeaway from the mixtape discourse is that more people should actively involve music in their lives—listening to it without something else on, going to shows—and make an effort to seek out new music rather than letting nostalgia dominate their lives

A fair amount of people will dismiss or despise mixtape on principle alone. And for real: fair! As I get older, I’m understanding just how much of where you’re at in life determines what you value and what you forgive. And what’s saccharine at 25 can be profound at both 16 and 40. And all are true
