I wasn’t a huge fan of Tsushima, but Ghost of Yotei is a massive improvement in every area. www.dbltap.com/reviews/ghos...

I spoke to Sucker Punch about inspirations, spending time with Ainu, capturing the majesty of Mount Yotei, and sprinkling more variety and surprises into Ghost of Yotei. www.dbltap.com/features/gho...

Wish my name wasn’t Kirk today.

The process of dialogue writing is a bit like when you think of a really good comeback like three hours after you’ve had an argument.

While the fucking US is making being trans and autistic illegal. Just know that at least one level in all Dishonored games and DLC (yes even that one) was designed by an autistic trans woman. Daud. Timsh. Clockwork Mansion. Bank Job. Autistic trans girl shit. Even without that, I deserve to exist.

NEW: Do you know those "AI Overview" responses that appear above search results when you Google for things? Last week, I chatted with a trio of game developers who proved to me that Google's AI kept giving players false info about their game My story: www.gamefile.news/p/google-ai-...

also i hate talking about this because every time i do it gets picked up somewhere, somehow and i get harassed for weeks but whatever, man. i'm really proud of the work we put into this, the research and the care and the nuance, and i will continue to share it. www.ign.com/articles/how...

CORMAC MCCARTHY: He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. JOE ROGAN: sure. I've met guys like that

So many people have messaged me saying they missed out on this, asking if I'm going to print more, so I'm going to print more. Listing is back up on the Etsy page if you want a physical copy!

Wildgate got half a million wishlists during Steam Next Fest but its all-time player peak since launch is under 8k. Doesn’t add up to me. You owe it to yourself to check out one of the best multiplayer games of the past few years. www.dbltap.com/reviews/wild...

People are sleeping on Wildgate. Some of the most fun I’ve had online in ages.

When I was a kid and I could barely get a couple of hours of screentime per day because we shared a TV, I spent most of my time getting pissed on White Lightning on a park.

Sorry. I can’t promise this is the last thing on that bellend Doc dude because he’s pretty much openly trying to wreck someone’s career by insinuating they’re an abuser and he’s dropped all attempts at even trying to obscure who that is now and it’s fucking disgusting to see.

This answer might as well say "Off the Grid is not an NFT game. Just kidding, Off the Grid is an NFT game."

Platforms that don't want NFT games on their service should also extend that to games that strip the blockchain garbage out for one platform but leave it in everywhere else. Allowing a game that's effectively an ad for off-site financial dealings isn't much better.

BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus. The studio's leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week. A wild story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Went through the latest Doc "Squiddy" Burford essay and noted all the instances of self-aggrandisement and score settling I could find. 14 and 19 respectively, and that's being extremely generous.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI posted about Musk’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in first person, as if Grok was Musk. In response to viral exposure, the original Grok post has been deleted and Grok is now falsely claiming screenshots of it are fabricated. This is just one example of why AI is so dangerous

It took me a bit to think about the Microsoft/Xbox situation, but I think I've settled now, and I can only conclude: it's never been more over. www.dbltap.com/features/xbo...

Unreal that CEOs can layoff almost 20,000 people in a year but keep their jobs — an absolutely disgraceful display of leadership at Microsoft.

My last tweet was a miscommunication. I’ve been told Arkane Lyon is fine.
