If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I once printed out an entire ocarina of time walkthrough that was easily 3 inches of paper. It was too powerful. No binder could hold it. My family thought I wasted £20 of ink (lmaoo) but I used that thing for yearssss to remind me where the golden skulltulas were. God bless you GameFAQS

The bitterly ironic transformation of the iconography of the poppy, from sombre reminder of the senseless futility of a war in which the British ruling class systematically ordered the wholesale slaughter of millions of working-class men, to 'War Christmas', says everything about the current crisis

This is appalling and if Xbox doesn’t do something about it then they’re on the line for this marketing too

This is what the inside of my brain looks like

thegamingbrit's video on silent hill 2 remake got him a lot of shit but he was 100% right when he said that constantly remaking classic games by destroying them completely to make them "look modern" is the creative impulse that leads to replacing everything with ai slop. same thing different degrees

This (not my review) is one of the reasons that tank controls are the best choice for most fixed camera games, and "modernized" relative movement can actually feel clunkier. No matter where the camera is, tank controls will always do exactly the same thing.

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

I face my computer, reciting the Canticle of the Start Menu. It responds "Understood, applying update." and renews my Game Pass for a decade. Fearfully, I hum the Hymn of Undoing. My OneDrive is made public and posted to Teams for all to mock. I begin to cry. Another month of Game Pass is added.

Just remembered how if you play as a herbivore who wins over creatures and tribes with dances, gifts and songs, during the civilisation stage suddenly the game is like "Okay now forcibly take over all cities on this planet with religion"

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

It'd be amazing if someone made a fun, ad-free website filled with hundreds of articles covering every format and genre you can imagine with even more more on top, wouldn't it? 👇👇👇 kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com

Elon we know the real reason you hate trans people is because they’re all better at video games than you.

100k trans people did a totally peaceful march in London in July. 100k right whingers, mostly men, do a protest in London in September, with unrest and arrests. Which group is the terrorist threat, the violent one, the risk to life and limb?

Imagine scolding people laughing at the 'it's good to die from gun violence because it gives us unfettered access to guns' guy getting got by a gun under a sign that says prove me wrong like I'm sorry grow up

I HATE AI I HATE WHEN CLASSES MENTION AI BEING GOOD “A great way to understand a dense concept like this is to summarize it with AI. Sometimes I pretend im AI and try to summarize it myself” YOU MEAN THINKING????? WITH YOUR BRAIN????? THINKING????? THATS CALLED THINKING!!!! YOU HAD A THOUGHT!!!!!!

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the internet we've had for the past 30 years is being actively dismantled. We need to start taking proactive action to protect data and lines of communications on websites that haven't been affected yet, before they are. Censorship is rapidly coming.

The UK’s Online Safety Act is being sold as a way to protect children. But instead, UK politicians are pushing sweeping censorship and forcing platforms to implement invasive age checks. This is not safety–it's surveillance.

cop in The Wicker Man (leaving unharmed because he slept with that hot blonde): what a strange, sexy island

Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.

what if tony iommi’s colleague turned up to work that last day at the sheet metal factory so he wasn’t left covering an unfamiliar machine and didn’t accidentally chop his fingertips off and didn’t start wearing prosthetics and adjusting his playing style and detuning his guitar to compensate

Diablo II (2001)

Resident Evil 7’s cover rips off the cover to Jane Doe by Converge. I never noticed because there are actually a number of covers used for RE7 and the one that resembles Jane Doe is used for the Japanese and digital versions. I’m a little sad the NA covers don’t use the Jane Doe style!

"Check out our Discord if you need help!" No. No. You mean "We've chosen to make our official assistance less accessible than a decades old GameFAQs FAQ" "Here's a link to our ad-infested wiki!" Please just... make a little website. It doesn't have to be fancy. I'd like it more if it wasn't.

*100,000 people attend Trans+ Pride* Labour: let's ignore them *a handful of racist thugs riot* Labour: we need to give them what they want immediately

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Happy 25th Birthday, Diablo II! A game that was one of the big time-sinks of 2000 for me. Installing it like it's 28/06/00 all over again. Did you play this on release and were hyped for it, peeps? Or played it and/or the Resurrected release since?

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

@archangel2147.bsky.social I'm coming for your crown 😈 I'm still losing a whole second to that goddamn airtime because I can't reliably get through it without drifting 😡 #SplashWaveRacing

There's a competition for R4 so you KNOW I've gotta give it a go. #SplashWaveRacing AT/NTSC/Duckstation Not even close to a perfect lap (I forget about that goddamn bump before the hairpin EVERY TIME) so I may have to return at a later date 😈

Happy pride to u pimps

Good morning!

I cannot believe they actually did a Nightreign trailer with Evanescence. This is the coolest fucking thing ever.

Happy Bring Me To Life Day then I guess

Isn't this how Resi 7 started

Best wrestling game of all time

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

why did they call it that anyways

90s 3D renders

PowerPoint 97

A life playing videosgame had me wildly overestimating the amount of times I'd need a hex crank in my day to day life, but I fear that if I leave my hex crank and bolt cutters at home, there's gonna be an inventory puzzle situation where something needs crankin' and I'll be the crankless fool.
