*several alarms, bells and sirens sound off all at once*

Guess who got chosen to be part of the Marvel Tokon beta 😎

oh shit happy 20th birthday blaze the cat

Prime 4 looks awesome! I've seen people worried about NPC dialogue, and especially how some of it breaks the fourth wall with game instruction, and all I can say is GOOD. I MISS WHEN CHARACTERS TOLD YOU WHAT BUTTONS DO IN A TUTORIAL.

There's a VERY real reason I stopped co-streaming the TGAs, even though they were always my most popular streams overall. Shit like this is a blight on the industry, and needs to be chopped off like the profitized growth it is. They ain't perfect either but pls watch @indiegameawards.gg instead.

I don't really talk about it, but as a Marvel Rivals player since launch: I me stoked for S5. S4 kinda felt draining to me, and the battlepass didn't help, but S5 and the anniversary are looking fantastic to me.

New Steam hardware looks sick! A tiny computer that lets me easily play my games on any tv I want? Glorious. A new controller with two actual joysticks this time? Perfect. A VR headset? Exists

It's snowing!!!

So, as it turns out, I am very not good at Kirby Air Riders

Is anyone else having an issue where every time you go to YouTube's home page it adds an official Microsoft Copilot ad video to your history? It's annoying as hell and I refuse to believe that it isn't an intentional thing

The Winner of the Mini Collab vote is... APPLIN!!!!! 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏 This month we'll be drawing the Applin family for a harvest themed Mini collab! More info and how to join: t.co/wsu8IkoN1s

Damn, now I miss my Chimecho from Brilliant Diamond

This goes into that “deprofessionalization” of the game industry article that went around a few months ago. People who don’t understand the work or care about the value of the people doing the work or honestly even care about quality at all. They just want to not have to pay workers.

Very important factor to this

Happy Halloween! I'm stuck at work. Spooooooky

This is such a big talking point that requires a lot of nuance, so I don't really care to try and elaborate via Bluesky post. (Again) But I will say this: in the disease that is hyperrealism open-world AAA oversaturation, yellow paint is a fever.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

The best time to cancel your Xbox game pass was at the start of the BDS boycott, the second best time was when they jumped all prices up and laid off thousands, the third best time is fucking now

I've never played the original Air Ride, so after the first Direct I wasn't really solid on Riders, but after the new Direct yesterday? Yeah I'm sold. A tremendous amount of (mostly) quick modes with adorable visuals and wild customization? I'm in.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Masterful gambit by Xbox to both absorb as many developers as possible AND raise the price of their devkits. Not making another Xbox isn't enough for them, they don't want anyone to even consider making a game for the current Xbox.

Here is a Reddit threat that explains how to disable Copilot in Windows, which I've just followed: www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHel...

So I got Legends ZA. And within a few hours I've stumbled upon a shiny Gastly. So I guess it's going on the team!

Looks like it's time to double hunker down to avoid spoilers until the morning(?). Good thing I have game dev and sleep to keep me occupied!

Just realized I don't know when Best Buy emails preordered download codes. Crossing my fingers I'll actually get my code for Legends ZA at midnight tonight!

I can't wait for the PS6 and Microsoft's newest Game Pass Machine™ to be able to spray scent pods and have the power to render individual cells of the human body.

I had a dream last night that all the new mega evolutions were spoiled for me and they were all inexplicably designed to look like Viva Piñata characters

Also haven't rly said anything about it, but I'll be LIVE on twitch playing ZA on launch day, feel free to stop by & enjoy the game chill and spoiler-free with me as I speedrun my way to finding a beldum :3 twitch.tv/chrisquay

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower. On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Happy 8th birthday to a Hat in Time, apparently! What a funny coincidence that I replaced it recently. Also the one game I've actually done a Speedrun of and submitted.

full odds puppies! ✨

Beat Hades 2! When I first played it when the open beta launched, it didn't click with me for some reason, but this time it clicked immediately and I never stopped having a blast. Really just excellent the whole way through!

This game is so cute, and charming, and fun. Every design element, from the stages, to the music, to the characters are such a delight. You play as four little women with guns. It's peak is what I'm saying.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Okay so SAGE might be giving me ideas to try making a Sonic fan game

OH YEAH EVERYONE BETTER LOOK AT THIS

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to the release of my first game, Pluto: Cave Mission Prologue! It's a little bittersweet, I had a lot of hopes for it and ideas for a sequel, which won't happen anytime soon, but I'm still incredibly proud of the work I did. Cheers, Pluto!

Incredibly funny that they do this just as I near the end of my first playthrough

I just crossed 200 downloads across all three games I've worked on on itchio! Absolutely wild to think about. On a related note, there's a very important anniversary coming next week...

I've been super focused on playing Silksong since its release, trying to dodge spoilers, and I can finally say I've beaten it. 100%, no less! Absolute masterpiece of a game. I have a few critiques here and there, and I definitely raged at some points, but it was really 10/10

Thankfully we haven’t invested more money into this junk than basically every other human endeavor in history. Imagine if we had! What a tragedy that would have been.

I had a lot of fun writing this article. kotaku.com/meta-ai-mark...

The odd lack of Mega Man Star Force aside, that was honestly what s great Direct! So many announcements I wasn't expecting and some really promising stuff, you love to see it
