Norway should create the Nobel Piss Prize and honor Donald Trump as its first recipient.

I’m headed to #TGS2025, so our #Silksong livestream is on hold this week. I’ll be back next week. For now, watch this no-hit of the boss that made me pause my no-hit boss run so I could actually finish the game for review. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev youtube.com/shorts/k9iUp...

A flight delay is a great way to start off my Tokyo Game Show week. Bad luck out of the way. Surely nothing can go wrong from here on out.

It’s late and you should go to sleep, but you were so sure you were gonna get raptured until the sky opened, a beam of light poured out, and God said, “Yeah, rapture mouth around deez nuts. El-em-ay-oh got’em.” And then the sky closed, the light snapped off, and it was quiet.

Our review of Hollow Knight: #Silksong is up. Ultimately one of the best Metroidvanias I've ever played. Platforming and combat are aces, great boss fights, characters, and music, and a dense adventure, only dragged down by tedious elements that create valleys between the peaks.

Our Silksong interactive map is filling out nicely. If you're working your way through, have a look and see @shacknews.com can help you out.

If you leave the toilet half-flushed on October 13 before midnight and it's empty the next morning, that means Charlie accepted your treat before he went on his creeping way.

I was not prepared for Cogwork Dancers 4th phase in which they tried to defeat me by making me cry. 🥺 #Silksong

Thank you to @sega-west.bsky.social and RGG Studio for speaking to me about the new #VirtuaFighter project! Producer Riichiro Yamada spoke about the pressures of working on a classic franchise, the balance of new and classic things, and Wolf's redesign. Check it out! #FGC

Children that grew up in this decade will never understand that once upon a time, we argued with each other about much stupider and less consequential shit, like if the dress was blue and black or white and gold and the positioning of burrito ingredients inside the burrito. I miss those days.

The moment I saw the words "NVIDIA," "Intel," and "collaboration," I saw this in my head and it wouldn't leave the entire time I was writing this story.

Kimmel correctly pointed out that the GOP wanted so badly to pin Kirk's alleged killer as a leftist psychopath the moment the bullet entered his body, and that Trump was seemingly over him in a day, and for that, the FCC Chairman threatened ABC forced them to fire him. Kowtowing frauds.

The Poohniverse sounds like a dirty place full of diseases you'd be embarrassed to reveal to anyone but a doctor.

Do you suppose the authorities have ever tried to tranquilize Donkey Kong? He does historically wreck property, throw barrels at people, and cause fires.

Sky: The Two Embers - Part One review: A guiding light

It’s late and you should go to sleep, but you dreamt about Kirby trying to suck out your talent and he just got the normal star projectile instead, and then he spit you at some asshole penguin hard enough to kill you both and you woke up screaming and self-conscious.

The amount of effort Team Cherry spent and spends on putting their fans first is something truly precious. Incredibly cool thing to come through on with Silksong. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

The worst score I've ever given an NHL game and this is my eighth straight year reviewing it for @shacknews.com. The least fun I've ever had playing.

Ironically likely to be one of the least problematic episodes of the show.
