About ~70% of the way through Harold Halibut I thought the game would leave no lasting impression on me but recently I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

Why were there gender-balanced teams at Sega in the late 80s, and why was this never the case again afterwards? I also provide a chronology of the industry's pioneers in Japan, while addressing the issue of gender discrimination, before discussing working conditions more broadly in a later chapter.

Bonus post to end the week: If you are a graphics programmer do yourself a favor and get a MIDI board. It makes the work way more tactile and fun. Full props to Matt and @aaronmjacobs.com for getting me on the MIDI train. :)

I look at every game released on Steam every day and it is still equally as difficult as it was before to find the games that are worth my limited time.

Where are my fellow dreamers at???? Real ones know.

The idea that the women in one place are more beautiful than any other place on Earth is a complete fabrication. All women are equally beautiful with the sole exception of the girl reading this.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Great Video

Listening to a great podcast with one host that you don't like is similar to being dehydrated at a Carly Rae Jepsen concert.

disgusting that he would say this

A Note about KEEPER Spoilers: On our end, we promise we won't be posting spoilers on main until way post-launch (and even then, we'll do our best to give you all some time to play through the game and let it marinate). How can you help maintain the mysteries of KEEPER? Glad you asked! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Dear gosh I'm so excited

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Discord is reportedly being extorted as it confirms hackers have government ID images for up to 70,000 users https://kotaku.com/the-discord-hack-sounds-really-really-bad-2000633690

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

The workers at ZA/UM Studio have unionized. First recognised games union in the UK, too. May many others follow. www.gameworkers.co.uk/workers-at-z...

1000xResist has my favourite fan wiki I've ever visited.

I’ve not seen the full Dandan Secret Lair. I don’t really care if I get credit or anything from it. Rhystic Studies and informed players know its origins. I just hope I’ll be able to own a copy of the official release and not have them sell out to scalpers and stuff like I’ve heard can be a problem.

Update: Jared Kushner's investment firm is reportedly one of the many involved in the $50 billion deal.

While it's true that I don't enjoy seeing performative wrestling fandom, it's also true that there are people out there who look down on the medium, and also people out there who still watch WWE, and performative wrestling fans are better than both of them.

ok so on 16 June 2023 I had a dream that I was writing an album, and that the album was called "Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan." I wrote the dream down and went back to sleep In the morning, I said: "What if?" Today, the first song from the album is released! www.mountain-goats.com

in these bummer days what you need to get you through is the new Mountain Goats track out tomorrow. yes ok technically it's a song in which two men bury a third with little hope for either of them on the horizon, but little hope isn't none, right? righteo, all aboard! 30tgrs.ffm.to/armiesofthel...

Much like every year since 2019, it is once again, "All My Heroes Are Cornballs" spring.

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

hello bluesky, bullet points -- my all-time fave gaming publication -- published my essay about death stranding 2, drone syndrome, and highway grief today. i struggled a lot with writing it, and i can only hope that i did its subjects justice. even still, i'd appreciate it if you read it

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵 1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting. www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2021/3/...

I was thinking the KATSEYE song "Gnarly" sounded suspiciously like an Alice Longyu Gao song and I was right!
