Well, fuck. If you don’t know, Mike Z has a very public history of sexual harassment, racist remarks, and more. Unless someone’s new to the FGC, everyone in the scene knows this. GGI is made up of old FGC heads. This is like intentionally having Bobby Kotick on your board of directors in 2026.

Satan is nibbling on a little Graham Cracker while waiting for the main course.

Pretty cool of Graham to take the heat off the McConnell stuff by going and dying like that. Total bro move.

In 28 years I have never seen the execs of a games company make a decision that made things anything but worse.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016

The call went out...for the first time since Covid,the local food bank ran out of food. people cannot afford to give a little when they only have a little. You can't cut WIC, SNAP and other food programs and expect that all's well. Fuck every trump nut sucker who aided him in this horrible effort.

We saw the discourse last week: no more digital games.

America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

The game industry is so fucking back

We shouldn't have stopped throwing tomatoes at people that suck.

SEGA has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Getting laid off 5 days before Christmas

I don’t think there’s enough of an outrage around the fact that the Iranian World Cup team is not allowed to stay in the US so they have to leave after every game and go to Mexico.

The shit that the South of Midnight team had to go through to ship that game would make you puke if you knew about it, and for Microsoft to reward them for shipping not only any game but a really good, award-winning game, with a studio closure is… well, it's routine now, isn't it.

Don’t ban kids using YouTube. Make YouTube behave like a broadcaster. Pay creators. Reinvest in the creative industries. Pay fair tax back into creators’ economies. Follow guidelines on fair usage and copyright. Play fair. It’s bigger than TV now. Make it behave like TV.

You go to that fancy Italian restaurant — and who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. You go to that fancy French restaurant — who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. Latinos grow it, pick it, clean it, cook it, serve it, and do the dishes. We are the backbone. Don’t fuck with us, we’re busy.

Replaying Persona 5 Royale. Starting to remember how damn good this game is.

when i'm in a "say the worst possible thing" competition and my opponent is RGG

just a normal question

This is Chubbz. He does have his own bed, just prefers a challenge. 13/10 (TT: highpriestess801)

I hope the Ocarina of Time remake leaves "no" as the default option so first-timers can experience the pain.

Unfortunately, it’s only going to stop when we stop capitalism.

Things I Remember From My Childhood That No One Else Remembers Ep 69: The Cybiko Handheld PDA

The first Cars movie came out 20 years ago. I need a nap.

We asked Crazy Taxi: World Tour director Kenji Kanno about the game’s use of generative AI:

Met the real snorlax at Phoenix Fan Fusion

The Tupac stuff in Stranger Than Heaven was already gross, but its way worse now that I know his "estate" is just this one random rich guy, and not Tupac's surviving sister.
