LOVE begins with a moment of fascination that keeps drawing us back. A ~crush~ is just a commitment to paying closer attention Star Fox 64 is asking for the same thing

I know we all know this, but just to reiterate, when a company lays off workforce *without itself closing* what the executives are actually doing is stealing the future wages of their workers - wealth that the workers themselves generated - to line their own cash-stuffed pockets.

As the co-author of Postal, a book defending Uwe Boll and Postal, it brings me no joy to report that his comeback film, Citizen Vigilante, is the most racist movie since The Birth of a Nation. There's bad, and then there's Citizen Vigilante nathanrabin.substack.com/p/citizen-vi...

say "PlayStation 6" and watch gamers run away like criminals that just saw the bat signal is it too soon for next-gen? or are we just not used to How Consoles Work now? CRITICAL ERROR PODCAST: youtu.be/hvMudAEdF3g?...

Canada would benefit greatly from more games industry events, like Edmonton’s NAGIS and GCC. It’s especially attractive to international creatives who aren’t into the States right now. But gosh it would also be nice to see our government commit more to the arts than we’re seeing in Alberta.

The entire Cinematic org was included. Let me know if you're looking to pick up a Director and/or other talented cine folks at any level.

Also the fact you can just remove the "2" from this URL and get the Concord closure sure is something. Can't even be empathetically original in your subject about ruining people's lives: sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog...

Dear executives, c-suite, leadership, and management: Thanking your team for "resilience" and "continued support" during "difficult times" is beyond tone deaf as you twist teh knife while playing around and putting the livelihoods of any amount of people at risk.

🚀 Why does Star Fox 64 keep getting remade? It's not because players NEED to start here or that Nintendo can't make a better on-rails shooter. It's definitely not 'dev practice' Star Fox is a game about replaying and seeing something familiar from a new angle! MY CRUSH: kotaku.com/my-crush-on-...

We fucking won. A near complete sweep in New York. All the doom and gloom from the pundits and we proved them wrong. You can do this too, in your city and state. results.socialists.nyc

SOCIALISM BABY

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

I am fashionably late once again, but Endless Ragnarok looks like a genuinely impressive addition to an already phenomenal RPG. A real second shot for the game. And the devs tell me the summon system is directly inspired by Tobal 2 - yes the PS2 game. www.consolecreatures.com/granblue-rel...

Average games industry event after the pandemic

Companies genuinely have no idea the gold mine they're regularly sitting on! Sounds like a joke, but it's really not: There is at least one person with a thoughtful, serious pitch document for "This project but a dating sim" during every single production. At least!

Something I didn't even know I wanted and now I'm DESPERATE for that Steam Frame upgrade I'm ready baby

New @jasonschreier.bsky.social video is about LIVE service games, but he honestly could have just used 5 seconds of the video.

I voice DAISUKE ARAMAKI in THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, i was a big fan of Stand Alone Complex as a young lad and i love Science Saru so getting to play this character has been an absolute privilege, i've been having a wonderful time on this show

this but the steam machine

Steam Machine discourse is really just a good reminder that no one can afford fucking anything right now

Adventures of Elliot takes a bit to find itself but once it lets you off the initial leash, the exploration and dungeon running becomes such a gratifying way to grow the hero’s strength. Zelda doesn’t need this much structure but I’m enjoying these battles and puzzles a lot!

Solstices, the turning of the year, competition between the Holly and Oak Kings... and a goddess defending both her kingdom and her marriage. Feels like a good day to talk about The Cold Iron of Summer ❄️ ☀️ www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXBQSM3F

So this article is just a fantasy draft about which teams you think are gonna lose their livelihood/healthcare? Nobody else's stomach churned seeing this format? Am I just sensitive? "And these are the reasons X studio isn't safe!"

Your semi-regular reminder that Prey was a brilliant game that didn’t get the attention it deserved because 1. It got stuck using an old IP title that didn’t reflect the game at all, and 2. a press junket that was obsessed with the goo gun.
