Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The democrats are making businesses like my own practically impossible to operate. Tens Of thousands of small businesses will be shuttered. People will be jobless and without insurance, despite doing everything “right” hell isn’t hot enough for this scum

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered. Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙

All the people that would call for these hearings are also busy banging their laptops

I would like to be warned if I lived near a ghoul who would ask this question.

"To some degree, I have been able to leverage my experience, reputation, or resume -- which is like maybe 10% deserved and 90% circumstantial -- to create opportunities for other people." @joelburgess.bsky.social on the eve of Ambrosia Sky's release. www.patreon.com/posts/what-i...

Xalavier is not only a great game developer and one of my best friends but also the best at doing unhinged short form videos.

" For it to be scary, [men] have to be the opposite of what they usually are. So they're not the protector. They're not impenetrable. They will be penetrated! And that's scary for historically male audiences." @ashleybardhan.bsky.social on horror games postgame.substack.com/p/why-people...

My kingdom for the time to play more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Remember how everyone here agreed to not follow and share JD Vance shit? And made this a nicer place to be without fueling a troll? Could we please do the same for Ross Douthat headlines? The best way to convince a publication to stop funding ragebait isn't to dunk. It's to ignore.

Come for a review of Age of Imprisonment, but stay for me waxing poetic about the scene in Wind Waker where you enter a Hyrule Castle suspended in time. The best single moment in the entire series.

Our Classic Movie Nights series takes a delightful detour into Screwball w Ernst Lubitsch’s final completed film, the misfit romance to end them all, CLUNY BROWN on Nov 19th! Arrive at 7:30PM for a pre-screening presentation by our Marketing Director Bekah 🔧 🎟️: thefridacinema.org/movies/cluny...

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

The biggest day in esports has arrived. Q-UP is out. store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

hey guys it's seth again. Will made a Patreon promo code for something and i asked if i could share it on here and he hasn't answered but I don't wanna forget so here it is, don't tell Will for: 50% off your first month at: www.patreon.com/secretbase use: promo code: CHARGETHEMOUND

anyway for my fellow devs I recommend filling out the state of the industry survey, it's imperfect but about as good as we get in trying to get a yearly pulse of the industry gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26

gonna brag about this episode that covers very important topics like political speech and censorship and sticky moderation, but also opens with tape from my 2am IG story of bbno$ getting 20 people to chant "fuck yeah, twitchcon" at a corporate streamer party

A NEW 5-minute, one-shot Godzilla short made with practical effects, scale model city sets, and a person in a plastic suit! youtu.be/JKHx9RYxric?...

INCOMING CANON FIRE! A deep dive into the ABSOLUM, the latest from the Streets of Rage 4 team! I dig into how it evolves the arcade spirit of games like Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons beat-em-ups, its remix of fantasy tropes, and even its take on gender and identity. canonfire.net/post/7992333...

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

In the latest Gayest Episode Ever, we look at a 2018 Simpsons that riffs on drag culture — and does a better Drag Race-style musical number than Drag Race actually has. Co-writer @carolynomine.bsky.social explains how this ep came to be. Hint: tupperwear! www.gayestepisodeever.com/episodes/sim...

It's not the point of Garbage Day, but @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social's writing double as group therapy for recovering culture/games/"trends" reporters of the Viral and SEO Eras

THEY WILL BE PENETRATED 👩🏽‍⚖️

I wrote about how tiny design changes have helped change the portrayal of Godzilla over the years, alternatingly humanizing and demonizing him: www.polygon.com/23960731/god...

What makes Mafia: The Old Country so remarkable is a historically charged script that seeks to understand the conditions that birthed the mafia. I spoke to the Hangar 13 team about the Italian labor issues and political unrest that are inseparable from the mafia. www.polygon.com/mafia-the-ol...

Can’t believe I’m watching game 7 from the dodgers‘ clubhouse!!!

Attention to every game dork born between 1975-1990: The Mortal Kombat Kollection is fucking incredible. The games themselves are a nostalgia delight, but what you’re really buying is a brilliant documentary/multimedia recreation of living through MK’s cultural moment. it’s a game as a time machine

i am so damn lucky to have talented collaborators. You too can work with @happicamp.bsky.social. I strongly recommend him for all your art, brand, and design needs!

A great episode that highlights a wonderful perspective on horror!

Happy Halloween from Millennial indie bands and alt comedians!

Exit 8: The Game : The Movie : The Novel

My last Halloween as a Controller. Time for a (Nintendo) Switch.

my... Pitch (😉lol) is to paint the baseball like a spooky "creature or ghost" to get those dumb batters to swing at anything cuz they're scared. easy outs. and yet my genius remains ignored

let them eat cake... out of the white house shitter

Want to know why people play games that scare them? For Post Games Patreon subscribers, I chatted with @ashleybardhan.bsky.social about the many ways fictional horror helps us live a less anxious life in a real horrific world. This is legit one of my favorite conversations yet.

@ckunzelman.bsky.social I'm still catching up on the Just King Things backlog BUT any chance we'll get a Joe Hill/King Sorrow episode?

With multiple conflicting interviews around Arc Raiders' use of AI, I tried to pick apart what is and isn't "generative," how much that distinction matters ethically, and the tension between today's efficiency tools and tomorrow's eliminated jobs.
