I hate this controversy going on with Tomb Raider. On one hand, CD's AI usage feels like it won't creep into the final game, it's to appease Amazon higher ups. On the other hand, that's a massive slippery slope and a canary in the coal mine that Amazon as a AAA publisher would be toxic for gaming.

Mamdani was elected Mayor by 1.1 million New Yorkers. Mullin was elected to the Senate by 710,000 Oklahomans. Make of that difference what you will.

The funniest thing about this week’s Rick and Morty is a lot of people would be disturbed enough by the Jerry subplot to stop watching the show, but all of those people would have stopped watching the show either during season 4 or 5 (you know which episodes I’m talking about).

This is one of the few silver linings to the Activision buyout.

I've been replaying Kotor 2 and love this game so much. The story is the most interesting thing they've ever done with the IP IMO, the themes of how war crimes and PTSD work in a world where the Force connects all life in the galaxy is so interesting.

Saw Sam Altman asked if AI is a bubble that will burst and Altman said it's great when bubbles burst and it was great for tech when the internet bubble burst and how it only leaves the best of the best alive and he thinks the AI bubble bursting will be great. These guys are FUCKING DESPERATE.

3. And they would have to pull all of this off while millions of people are watching the process play out in real time, including the president of the United States and his hand-picked U.S. attorney, who would relish the opportunity to prosecute election fraud in the Los Angeles mayor’s race.

2. The people involved would have to be in close coordination. Not one of them could speak to an outsider, make a mistake, leave a trace, get caught, or have their communications penetrated by the vast surveillance capabilities of the federal government.

1. Reminder: For the election fraud conspiracy theories being spread about Los Angeles to be true, there would have to be a vast and complex scheme involving hundreds of people in some cases and many thousands of people in others.

Third person gameplay? Anyone who read Player Two Start is laughing their ass off.

The Punisher sticker we've needed all along

The new Xenoblade game has a different name depending on the region you're in.

So a new prediction for bingo cards with any presentation/showcase is going to be "Which game/company will be ruined from using AI", right?

Did California just perpetrate the most brazen election fraud in history?!? (lol no)

The thing about having so many games to play is it makes it so easy to cut out anything using AI. Crazy Taxi has AI assets? A bummer, but 2027 is packed. Kingdom Hearts 1-3's box art is AI generated? SW2 has more RPGs than I can handle as is.

I'm hoping ten years from now we look back on 2026 as the year that the game industry figured out how to make E3 season work without E3. The presentations this year were all really good, would love if this momentum kept up.

Knowing how beloved this franchise is and how grateful an artist could be if they were sélecteur and in charge of the cover art, for it to have been made with AI of all things in the end ... This is crazy, c'est catastrophique.

One reason I get more excited for Nintendo games than PS and XB is I can be confident when something's revealed that I'll be playing it within a year and a half. There's exceptions (MP4, TotK), but compared to Xbox and PS where I'm expected to wait 5+ years after announcement, it's refreshing

Mina the Hollower, Pragmata, and Resident Evil Requiem are already a fire top three for me in 2026. If we get any games that break into that, I'll be a very happy gamer.

It's pretty obvious Nintendo has a Zelda direct planned, right? Reveal the movie's cast, give more info on OoT Remake, shadow drop either Twilight Princess or Four Swords Adventure on NSO.

If you never played the prequel trilogy, this is the best one IMO.

Capcom and Square Enix seem 100% on board with the Switch 2. Konami and Sega seem touch and go. Wonder what's keeping them from putting Silent Hill, RGG games, and Atlus games on SW2 day one.

Oh god, if way too online weirdos were mad at the Halo box art, wait until they see this game's

Games I can see myself buying: June- NBA The Run, Star Fox July- Splatoon Raiders, Halo August- Metal Gear Solid Collection, Beast of Reincarnation September- Wolverine, Onimusha October- Castlevania, Rayman, Gears of War November- Zelda, GTA December- Xenoblade Expansion

Will I play Ocarina of Time Remake? Without a doubt. I love that game and it's been a while since I last played it. Do I think it's the least interesting thing Nintendo could do with the Zelda series? Also yes.

Mike Johnson: Members of Congress are ENTITLED to insider stock trading because their salary is *only* $174k. Also Mike Johnson: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are *entitlement programs* and we will cut them next year. MAGA is getting rich selling out everyday Americans.

Kingdom Hearts 4 is huge for a Nintendo Direct.

Most of my interest in the new Metal Gear Solid collection is Ghost Babel

Knew we'd get Metaphor announced for SW2 rather than either upcoming Persona.

Final Fantasy Resonance is cool. It's really cool. But imagine if they called it Final Fantasy XVII

Muramasa: Revenant Blades also confirmed for Steam buff.ly/0Zi2P0b a vanillaware title on PC...

Graphics could be better, but Xenoblade Genesis still looks fun.

Oooooh, Xenoblade 3 SW2 Edition! Been wanting to get back to that game and this is the perfect excuse!

I saw Lords of the Fallen 2 and thought it was Dark Souls 3. I then saw the name and still wasn't entirely sure if the game might be Dark Souls 3.

DK Challenge is a fun idea. Down to see it with more Nintendo IPs.

Really impressive when you remember this looked like an N-Gage game on the Steam Deck at launch.

Sweet! Onimusha's coming to SW2! Know Capcom's been consistent with these multiplats, but still good to see.

Means we get more games. Nice!

if the Knicks don’t win tonight, the belief that he jinxed it would make this arguably the most dangerous place he’s been in years; fortunately, sports fans are not known to be superstitious

Ten years ago this would have bothered me all day. Now I'm just happy to see a ludicrous image that wasn't generated by AI.

The country’s biggest problem on display: Everyone else suffers so the billionaire can thrive.

The most Halo thing someone working on a Halo game can do is make sure you see something purple at all times.

Predictions I haven't seen anyone else make for the Nintendo Direct: -Zelda: Four Swords Adventures will added to NSO for the anniversary, but not the GC app so SW1 owners can join -Pokopia DLC that will be included on cartridge rerelease -Metroid 0, Samus upgrades outside the suit for half the game

I'm hoping we see some previously announced games get SW2 versions revealed in the Direct. I'd love if Star Wars Zero Company/Galactic Racer, Persona 4 Revival/6, and Beast of Reincarnation is coming to it.

Yes, because it's absolutely impossible that a city that's only 18.7% Republican wouldn't vote for the Republican candidate

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends

Really hoping if the OoT remake rumors are true, it's not going to be like FFVII is getting remade. If they change enough for it to feel like a new game, I'd rather them not be restricted by OoT's story/world. Make an entirely new one built on new ideas instead.
