Has anyone else freaked out their spouse by absent-mindedly singing the song from the second Hades II boss fight?

Wake up babe, new headcannon just dropped.

MULTIPLAYER!!! Most heroes would be lost without their handlers providing them live updates (plot), support (banter), and intel (tutorials). Who are your favorite voice-in-your-ear characters in gaming, and why? Answer by 9pm EST ON Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

Ah, my first sinus infection of fall. I love everything about the season except for how I feel during it.

The implications of this fun little tableau are horrifying…

I can’t stop reading it “Steam Autism Sale”

MULTIPLAYER!!! No one really asked for Lego Horizon Adventures, but the precedent has been set! What games would be most amusing to see in a cute, kid friendly form? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

If Randy Pitchford wrote it: “OMG, so many players complaining about the knife being OP (as if they could do better). You know what? We’re gonna start buffing MORE stuff!”

MULTIPLAYER!!! Any game that gets big enough will spawn a string of imitators. That’s not to denigrate them, though! What “spiritual successors” outshone their inspiration, either in part or in whole? Answer by 9pm on Tuesday to be featured on The Level.

You can’t make this kind of stuff up: I came across this on a trail in my local park. I’m literally hiking in a REMOTE location! 😂😂😂

Kimmel’s material on Kirk was as mild as it gets, but he sure was brutal about Trump being in the Epstein files…

@kaye.zone you better act fast before all the good ones get snapped up!

MULTIPLAYER!!! What’s a video game quote that’s stuck with you? It could be meaningful, wise, or just funny. Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

The world’s longest wooden roller coaster? In this economy?!

My local park’s Space Force flag is at half mast for the assassinated podcaster. Beyond. Fucking. Parody.

Being a stroke survivor qualified me for the Covid shot in Ohio. In case it’s helpful to anyone: I literally just asked if being a stroke survivor qualified me, they said yes, and there was no further inquiry or proof needed to get my shot.

MULTIPLAYER!!! We expect a difficulty spike for bosses, but sometimes a “regular” enemy can ring your bell just as hard. What non-boss enemy is your personal kryptonite, and why? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

The collapse of all this grifting is gonna be so much faster, weirder, and *stupider* than anyone can imagine.

Me on my 5th boss in a row (so far) at the end of Elden Ring

Super excited for new NFTs of bibles wearing golden shoes.

Last week was a bye, so we’re still looking for answers to this Multiplayer! Chime in by 9pm on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

Shame on me for not looking at the night sky enough to notice until now, but holy crap it’s just all satellites. There’s basically never a moment that you can’t see at least a couple moving around. It makes me feel sad in a way I don’t have the right words to articulate yet.

New update for Deck of Wonders: the tariff madness isn’t ending, but it should at least be stable enough to move forward in October.

What’s the verb for when you have the hiccups? Autocorrect says it’s “hiccuping”, but I’ve always been partial to “hiccing up.”

MULTIPLAYER!!! It’s time to assemble an all-star party of 1 DPS, 1 Support, and 1 Tank character, but you can choose each one from ANY game (even ones that don’t explicitly have classes). Who’s on your dream team, and how do they work together? Answer by 9pm on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

Highlight of the weekend: going to the K-Pop Demon Hunter sing along. (I guess it was fun that the kids were there, too.)

I swear there’s more ice cream on his face than there was in the cone.

The single best argument for monotheism is that “goddamnit” lands so much better than “godsdamnit.”

MULTIPLAYER!!! Humans are terrible at predicting what they will (or won’t) like in advance. What genre of games were you most surprised by, for better or worse? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level. Shoutout to Aaron from our Slack for the question idea!

The Naked Gun filled a slapstick shaped hole in my heart that I didn’t even know was there.

I just love wide-mouth water bottles. The thrill of knowing the slightest jostle will send the contents all over the drinker really does it for me.

Sometimes your kids make a big tower out of their foam blocks. Sometimes you don’t notice it until you’re gaming late at night and get the bejesus scared out of you.

I cannot tell you how distressing it is to me that bedroom and bathroom are one word but dining room and living room are two.

MULTIPLAYER!!! Be it coins, rings, or souls, a game’s currency is always a fun little bit of worldbuilding. What is your favorite currency from a game, and how does it add flavor to the game’s world? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

I wanted the padding adjusted ever so slightly when I got my VR, and it turned out a beer koozie did exactly what I wanted. I never got around to a less-janky solution, so if you hear me talk about VR gaming you can know it’s done with a koozie strapped to my forehead.

I have never, in the history of my digital existence, wanted to close to tray.

The Gen Z crowd dynamics before this concert are wild: several people at the front are holding up their phones playing Subway Surfer (or similar), and everyone behind is cheering wildly like they’re pro streamers or something. 🤷‍♂️

BF6 plays great, but I seem to have lost my tolerance for extended multiplayer matches. Give me a win or loss in 10 minutes and I’ll play 4 in a row no problem, but a single 40 minute match makes me itchy.

The Red Bull Flugtag is coming to Cincinnati, and it’s taking place at—I shit you not—Yeatman’s Cove.

Gotta love the pre-preschool social where we get all the toddlers together to… drink blood apparently?

Found my stripper stage name

This joke alone makes checking out the system worth it. 😂

If would gets prettied up to wouldst, wouldst wouldn’t be wouldstn’t, wouldn’tst, or wouldstn’tst?

Found this gem in a Little Free Library at a random park. Anyone have experience/opinions on the system? It’s the original one, not the Revised or Saga editions.

It’s a real power move to make your nest directly in front of the cheetahs. Big duck energy.

We busted out Jen’s old N64, and our kids are now introducing it to their friends. I love the enthusiasm, but I can’t tell if they’re intentionally trolling me about how old it is.

I like “doong doong” wind chimes, not “tinkle tinkle” wind chimes.

Started playing Elden Ring again and now I’m seeing it everywhere…

Counting up loudly to play hide n’ seek with my kids, but just continuing higher and higher to see how long until one of them comes to check on me.
