THEY'RE ADDING GITAROO MAN TO THE PLAYSTATION CLASSICS COLLECTION??? Listen you all have to get on this. I am channelling my 2002 self to tell you: it's one of the best music games ever made

I did this for 15 years and now the very thought makes my knees hurt

Get in ON this! Every issue of this journal is a beaut (also, I'm in the next one)

Enjoyed this game very much AND it made me Think About Stuff

This actually looks incredibly useful

Bizarrely hard Ribbit today puzzmo.com/play/ribbit/...

I've run digital media sites for 10yrs+ and you would be AMAZED at the absence of correlation between articles that do well on social and articles that get traffic. It was exactly the same on Twitter. Facebook did at one point drive traffic, but not since like 2016. Social media ain't the real world

IMPORTANT: We've had to change our Mass Lobby date! The Mass Lobby for Trans Equality is now taking place on 25th June, 11am-4pm due to access issues. Everyone signed up already should have an email from us but you can also read more here: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/mass-lo...

Imagine the weenie who made this posting it like "yeahhhh, that'll show em"

The only thing I am currently playing (except for Titanium Court): www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

please. I've already played 200 hours of The Witcher 3. Please release me

Of course I know Wario is evil but I always pick him because I’m able to separate the kart from the kartist

This is *insane*. An absolute insult to writers and their labour.

If you can do it, that is really great, but it's not the only way to be politically effective. Before there was any chance of getting laws changed, there were centuries, generations and generations of people supporting and sustaining each other, even though the mainstream culture was vile to them.

I find that I have an actual political philosophy about this, so I am going to try to articulate it. For many decades now, if you are a left-wing person, you have been able to see laws get better. It has come to feel as if that is the way to improve the world.

Absolutely fuck everything about this "guidance". I will continue to confuse the gender police wherever I go www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

It's been many years now and I still can't get over how bad the current Xbox UI is. Finding your complete library in order to install a game you just redeemed: nightmare. For some reason my home screen has a pinned Skype app (Skype was discontinued years ago). It's so horribly Windows-ified

We do not usually review books, but @mackeza.bsky.social's Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play earns the exception, capturing why the company still matters to generations of players. #bookreview #SavePointGaming #KezaMacDonald #SuperNintendo

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #ironwork #dragon #architecture #glasgowbuildings #pollokshields

Hey so I've just spent four days in the hospital with kidney stones. Up there with the worst experiences of my life. Gonna take a while to recover before I'm back at work but here's a take in the meantime: Titanium Court is gonna be my GOTY. I feel about it like men feel about Disco Elysium

Over a year ago, I had a call with @duckvalentine.bsky.social talking about Dreams on a Pillow. At that time the article was killed by executives. She was brave enough to fight against that, but it was out of her control I chose not to talk about it publicly to protect Rebekah from what could happen

This headline confused the shit out of me until I realised it was a Dutch website.

Ah, so we're now writing it like a boomer would in a text message, got it

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

There's an original essay from me in this beautiful collection, looking back at Left Behind and what it meant to finally see a story about someone like me in a blockbuster game

Exceptionally good thinking, this.

So excited to find Super Nintendo by @mackeza.bsky.social at my tiny little local library in Virginia! 3 chapters in and completely enthralled.

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

Unfortunately I had to cancel my Bath/Bristol Super Nintendo book events this week due to illness. (I'm recovering fine but travel would not have been a good idea.) Hoping to reschedule them for later in the year 🙏

The nice thing about games is that there’s five million of them released every week that you’ll never be able to finish. If you’re annoyed by one sucking up air you can just play a Tales game, a DOOM mod by a guy with an undiscovered form of OCD or a city builder where you make homes for gay mice.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

26 years ago, three Canadian modders found themselves in the incredible position of making an official Die Hard game. For two of them, it was the start of decades-long careers in the games industry. For the third, it spelled the end of that career before it had begun. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Evergreen headline.

How do you adapt the Moomin stories? @hypergames.no knows best: • getting the curvature of Moomintroll just right • avoiding any reference to capitalism (which hasn't yet sullied Moominvalley) • leaning into life's heaviest questions Beautiful work, all told. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

Hi, I am watching The Pitt, I woke up too early yesterday and was bored AND Keza is away, hence… www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

A Short Hike is one of my all time favourite spirit-raising one-evening games - if you haven't had the pleasure, pick it up now for a few quid

Every guy in a videogame:

I think the text that appears to dissuade you from using hints in Case of the Golden Idol should also be presented before you’re allowed to reply to someone’s Bluesky post

Sorry for the delay. Here's the living memorial roundup for Paste Games. If your favorites didn't make the cut, feel free to add to the replies on this post, and we'll get them added as soon as possible. critical-distance.com/2026/05/04/r...

late night bus ride

The History of Dark Souls! Starring the people who *literally* wrote the book on Dark Souls, @mackeza.bsky.social and Jason Killingsworth! + How a troubled fantasy game became a genre + Why Sony let Souls games slip through its hands + The Dark Souls review email group: "the chain of pain"

📢 CALLING ALL NONBINARY GAME DEVS! 📢 i'm helping run a steam sale event to showcase games made by nonbinary devs during the week of international nonbinary day! if you fit this description, fill out the form by may 18 👉 forms.gle/cx9AqFfPqzF9... please share & send to all your nb dev friends!!

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

This is a major shame. A huge cohort of great games writers came through Paste at some point

I just finished this book. It was fantastic and unexpectedly heartwarming. I loved it for many reasons, but it enlightened me to the wonder that is EARTHBOUND & literally all my free time has been spent playing the games ever since. I’ve beaten the NES game, but I’m still working on SNES…#SMAAASSHHH
