love to read news about pokemon go! i wonder if there's any MORE news about pokemon go i can read today!!

it continuously stuns me how rightwingers don't know how anything works at all on a systematic level so they assume nothing should be done about anything ever

many are saying this

he's been dreaming about "taking the oil" for decades. Sacrificing US troops in order to steal oil from the middle east is one of his Big Longstanding Foreign Policy Ideas. He's also very lazy and bluffs constantly so who knows.

Truly the most important takeaway from this week's gaming news.

MOTHERFUCKER

Just sent out. The USA seems to have committed war crime deliberately and openly, by destroying civilian access to water as summer approaches. It is strategically idiotic and morally repulsive--and needs to be acknowledged if the US has a chance to recover. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

When your doctor keeps calling in other doctors and saying, "You've gotta see this"

Todd hasn't been a serious artist in decades. He defines "efficiency" as doing as little as possible to buy more autographed baseballs.

truly the worst-titled book of all time, so much so that possters continue to attempt clowns on it a generation later by citing events which constitute uncanny validations of its predictions

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." I like this kid.

Excellent assessment of Gundam Wing by Scott McNeil (Duo's English VA) from an interview in Animerica.

Using GenAI for temp assets and forgetting to remove them has become so commonplace that the only conclusion I can draw is that using GenAI dulls your ability to understand your own game. Using something as "temp assets" and then not removing it simply means they're not temp, period. Sorry!

“The known cases of police stalking are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.”

For decades there were countless truisms in politics about what you could and couldn't say and the president is just out there going "I made everything double in price for no reason and I love it"

"Targeted" okay well then it sounds like he scored a bullseye lmao

There's a widespread misconception that Nintendo Directs killed E3. This is not true. What actually killed E3 was the industry's shift from physical to digital games. Here is a video about it www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnGr...

there was a scientific study recently that showed using ai for even as little as 15 minutes reduces your persistence, making you more likely to give up on a task if you can't use ai for it, less likely to acquire new skills, and less able to work independently: arxiv.org/abs/2604.04721

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Still a brutal time for me and all the other US caffeine addicts—coffee prices are up 18% over the last year and 56% since 2020

voters elected trump to make then rich

Cowards. Elon is only going to make it worse until you do something to stop him

My hot take is that it's actually conceptually fine to remake a nearly 30 year old video game and people out here offering broad observations of what both old *and* young people feel about classic games are, in fact, just afraid to embrace the fact that they have become curmudgeons.

He not only owns the website! He is directly in charge of which posts the website shows people! Musk is more responsible for whipping up these mobs than anyone else!

Organised attacks by racist thugs also happened in Glasgow and elsewhere last night. This is where the culture of "legitimate concerns" has led us. New media stoke it, legacy media fan it, our politicians and institutions have proved complicit or impotent in the face of it. The UK is in dire peril.

sega is also using AI-generated images in the discord server for their content creator program aiai is horribly disfigured in this image... also, it's ironic that they're using a monkey ball character here when monkey ball wasn't even a selectable option when signing up for this very program!

“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital. But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.” Put it on America's tombstone.

i hope ocarina of time 2026 is just unrecognizable and over-ambitious and takes big swings that upset some people because if you’re spending resources and dev time only for link to leave that tree house and enter a one-to-one layout of n64 kokiri forest in UE5 im gonna be really bummed out

this article is circulating with a COMPLETELY bullshit framing and clickbait lie about it, the "ai cybersecurity" firm is actually training AGAINST AI and the conan series is about helping people spot deepfakes and other gen-ai material, beginning with the famous robert smigel video mouth sketches

A 40% pay increase, the right to walk off the job if federal agents (i.e. CBP/ICE) pose a threat to them *and* the contract expires in April 2028 so they can demand more ahead of the Olympics. Shoutout Local 11, shoutout unions.

People are rightly critiquing Square Enix over this one but I think it's also important to remember that they required Disney's approval for this so we should be attacking them as well.

INVESTIGATION: 🚨 A Polymarket exec used a personal PayPal account to pay major political influencers like Riley Gaines and Brian Krassenstein, who then hyped how "accurate" Polymarket is at predicting outcomes. We uncovered $350,000+ flowing to influencers this way www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Nintendo direct felt a bit anemic for what it needed to be, but that said neither Sony nor Microsoft has managed to produce an exclusive I've actually wanted to play in over 10 years so by having at least 3 that makes them the winner of whatever this week was by default.

“If you died nothing in my life would change” remains one of the coldest bars ever posted

Vanillaware discovering personal computers changes the entire meta of videogames

VANILLAWARE ON PC HOLY SHIT

Vanillaware. I love you. Please. Come to PC sweetie.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Every text I send my friends includes a brief bio of myself in case they forgot

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

I love showing people who aren't into the history of legacy mangaka the first ep of an Imagawa adaptation cause it always feels like this to them

Birth of a Monster. [1/2] #Monster #JohanLiebert

Honestly one of the funniest recent bits of character design.
