If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

Call of duty saying they aren’t going to add clown skins and keep it real this time is funny in both meta and literal ways. They’ve said this every year for nearly ten years. You’d have to be a clown to believe it!

“Longing”

"Biggus" - my oil painting

I see it and I still don’t believe it!

And yet I’m considering double-dipping to get it on the deck…

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

This is one of my favorite rare interviews in our collection. The technical director on Superman 64 just publicly eats shit and is like "our team was terribly managed, we knew the game was terrible, there was nothing we could do and we're embarrassed it sold well"

Real goldfinger vibes. Brilliant.

Scott Snyder really struck something primal when he decided to make Absolute DC's version of the Joker a literal demon in human guise who sustains himself off the blood of children - and is also very obviously modelled on Thiel.

It wasn’t freakish neck skin he had successfully hidden with high collars? Awwww.

Did someone really wear a mask on Fox News?

good. the whole thing with Krafton CEO trying to dodge paying the promised bonus to the dev team was such a scamy thing. I hope this goes to the hard-working team who made the game a reality and a success. www.ign.com/articles...

My good mate Luke Muscat (Who made Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride) just launched the demo for Normal Golf Game on Steam. Looks very fun. store.steampowered.com/app/3510740/...

That new bond game is pretty good. A little on rails to start with, but not moreso than what you think of as a first party ps4 game. It’s a tad charming as a throwback, which is apt.

Wrote a thread on mastodon on why even though "there's just too many games coming out and that's why devs are struggling" sounds plausible, common sense even, I don't think it's the main problem Anyway I can't be arsed to repost it all here so here's the link: mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/11664...

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

I guess they announced the new mortal kombat today because this is a fatality.

I think there’s a slight chance that Xbox rushes Project Helix out next year because Series X/S has been such a failure, but if Sony decides to release PS6 in 2027 in these market conditions, they are out of their minds.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

I'm not happy about writing this, but too many people I care about are hurting, and it's preventable. medium.com/@jakeorlowit... #Wikipedia

one of the frustrating things about posting here is not related to the platform at all - it's that the ways the world is getting worse are happening by the hour, and my ability to post about cool new games i've tried or media i've consumed is limited to like, three or four a week

I think this is especially masterful because the tech bros all worship the Lord of the Rings and name a lot of their evil things after characters/objects from it, without ever having read a word from any of the books or understood a damn thing from it. Woke Pope strikes again

An automated A.I. WWE news channel tries to pronounce "WWE" as a word and ends up going insane! 🤣

Oh hey it’s the 10th anniversary of StarCraft 2. Wild it’s been that long! “……☹️”

No it the fuck was not.

He should definitely keep popping up randomly like this

Last repost: who could have guessed it was a pick up truck. I am shocked.

THE WISCONSIN DOT RELEASED A 10 MINUTE VIDEO OF THIS ASSHOLE STUCK IN FRESH CONCRETE LMFFAAAOOO

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Formery a live-service game, refitted into a self-contained action RPG. Very pretty, solid action. Under £3 is pretty dang good.

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

“This is the ideal room. You may not like it but this is what peak cable management looks like.”

A great bit from Rich on a first-hand experience of seeing exactly how those vultures at Roblox go after younger gamers, both taking them for a ride and (arguably as bad) poisoning their general relationship with games as a medium. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Labour needed 1 vote for control, but rather than work with the 1 Green councillor they ceded half their power to the Tories.

My only thought on Zero Parades until I can play it: It looks good. Folks I trust say it's excellent. I do want to play it and it sounds like the artists, writers, musicians and more behind it did great. I am still uncomfortable with the promo art having 'FROM THE DISCO ELYSIUM CREATORS' on it.

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"

If, like me, you had initially watched this without the sound, then remedy that immediately.

wait wtf? Wizards hyped this game last year as being an "exclusive partnership agreement," and now they're just calling it "an early concept?"

A very nice review of our game, with the correct URL: aftermath.site/battlestar-g... Thanks, Aftermath!

They left out admin keys for govcloud accounts for 6 months in a public github repo in a file called importantAWStokens. Any script kiddie could have compromised critical government systems with that. Who knows how many state actors did so. gizmodo.com/the-worst-le...

Everyone is dunking on this because it's weird to buy software in store, but I'm pretty sure he's just telling on himself that he hasn't bought software in at least a decade if not two.

I want an Elden Ring tv show. But it’s gotta be muppets and the only human is the main Tarnished character.

Every sign tells a story.
