really excited that bsky has already reached the point of social media platform development where management is openly hostile to power users. at this rate the next niche social media site will have a six month turnaround from indie darling to flaming wreckage

For fucks sake

nah, after the most recent waffle incident i have to agree that bluesky the company really does not care about the users that made it what it is right now and telling people "you can leave" is the worst PR strategy i have ever seen the users that made this what it is can't just leave as of now

Let's hope the book doesn't have a section on Brazil or "third world countries"

Keep Honking, I'm Listening to the Tomato Convenience Theme from the Hit 1999 Game "Shenmue"

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

the website to cancel Xbox Game Pass subscriptions is overloaded

lol

Today in things that somehow aren’t a joke, Japanese clothing brand Hardcore Chocolate (HARDCC)’s new collab is… Mr Bean core-choco.shop-pro.jp?pid=188455945

shenmue is so funny for the way ryo is like: i cant afford to fly to hong kong..... what do i fucking do..... and you have to ask nozomi and shes like, well what about a boat? boats are cheaper. and ryo is like. thats right. boats exist. thats really what its like when you're depressed and stupid

In these issues, Charmy's friend has a drug overdose.

Oh huh, I like that way better than what we got. I wonder why?

This site is where everyone fled to in order to get away from the awfulness of Twitter, but they forgot that Twitter was an awful hell-site full of petty nonsense long before Musk got control.

morning pic to start the day. When it was rumored that Mega Man was going to be apart of Sonic Racing Crossworlds I kept trying to think of cute interactions Sage could have with Mega Man and the other robots so now shes got some Protoman shades #megaman #sonicracingcrossworlds #art #fanart

So if the current Sonic Racing Crossworlds SEGA characters run until November... that means NiGHTS is likely December... Cmon guys, you know you wanna make that alt skin a reality.

6 years ago today, me and a few others represented @radiosega.net & visited @sega-west.bsky.social Europe whilst they were promoting the Mega Drive Mini. Absolutely amazing day, which has thankfully been preserved here: www.youtube.com/live/J4AHH5H...

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing. Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts. What if you could? 🧵

"We saw those mods you guys made for Cyberfunk and made their concepts central to our next game" This slaps

I switched to @waterfox.net www.waterfox.net

I take it back this playlist is great

New art of Sonic and Pac-Man from the JP Bamco account This is forever my favourite video game friendship

This is why I have to ban myself from using this site every couple days. Like I get it, staying informed is important, but we gotta maybe consider that we're grinding everyone's mental health to paste when we spend all day sharing The Horrors. We can't help others if we're stuck spiraling!

Happy 40th anniversary to the Super Luigi Brothers. Massive legends!

oh hell yeah dude

peripheral required and no jack bros successfully put me off 😭

close enough, welcome back swap force

I do not care that I have to rebuy Galaxy 1 GIVE IT TO ME

So here’s something: I can’t access my private messages without age verification, but managed to see video footage of a certain incident that took place yesterday without any warnings or restrictions. Twice, each from different angles. So happy the Online Safety Act is working exactly as intended.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

One of the coolest video game preservation stories I have ever covered arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

This. What really pisses me off is weak, belated challenges to clear lies. If Farage says “I am 10 feet tall,” I need to see that shit called out by the interviewer right there, not the next day in a BBC Verify article headlined “Do Reform leader’s height claims stand up?” as if there’s some nuance.

The European artwork, used as the reversable cover for 'Sonic Origins Plus', released as mini-posters online.

ok

Urrrrgh, are we really doing the game difficulty discourse again? Blah blah original vision blah blah git gud blah accessibility blah blah blah let people play it how they want blah blah gatekeeping blah. There, all caught up
