don't worry guys this'll be the year it happens

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

Matt Johnson was my most watched director and I haven't even seen Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie yet.

Elster, the endlessly devoted #SIGNALIS

I wrote about Control: Resonant, Romeo is a Dead Man, Saros, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream for this!

Here's my Game of the Year 2025 list. Plans changed this year so I had time to write up the list and contextualize my picks. I'll post a thread later. backloggd.com/u/Daraaraa/l...

As promised, PMG has just donated $5000 to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. We've made the donation to PCRF directly as our fundraiser on YouTube has now completed, but if we add the two figures together that's a total amount of $61,914.62. Thank you so, so much to everyone who participated!

Most "Nintendo" (derogatory) move of all time is making an app called "Nintendo Music" and still not including a single Xenoblade Chronicles track in it over a year after its launch.

Persona series 30th Anniversary Website - 1st update on January 8th, 2026 p-ch.jp/p30th/

This is a super-huge issue in news writing, which almost always gets flagged as AI. News stories are formulaic by design and often have the same cadence and language.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

I have a sneaking suspicion that if it doesn't get absolutely flattened in localization Yoko Taro's next narrative might go really hard on this, and could be really good for it

Marty Supreme was fantastic but a bit formulaic for a Safdie film. Felt like it retread a lot of beats from Uncut Gems. 0PN absolutely fucking decimated the soundtrack, probably his best yet.

Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2, The Night Comes for Us) is directing the Sleepy Dogs film

why did nobody tell me that Cronos: The New Dawn is a Christmas game?

After years of wrestling with video game pr, I've been requesting some advance copies of books and it's laughably simple. No embargo dates, no details on what plot you can't discuss, no interrogations about your coverage plans. Just "hey can I have this book?" "Yeah!"

Might actually be my favorite movie

I love Persona

Get an absolute masterful work of human art and expression without giving any money to the pieces of shit who robbed them and locked them out of it.

2🚨0🚨2🚨6🚨 Pon has news!? Oh, sadly, it seems he’s forgotten the name of the game... it’s not Pon’s Winter. Thank you for your support and excitement throughout 2025. Our sincerest apologies, but we’d like a little more time to make this TANUKI adventure a truly special one!

Gamers. It’s time

A prominent commentator in the fighting game community, Sajam, has announced he will not participate in future EVO events following its acquisition by the Saudi government.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

This is unfortunate but felt inevitable. Fuck Paramount anyway.

So in the UK, they'll arrest you for supporting Palestine, and now we find they'll also arrest you for supporting those who support Palestine. If you hold a Free Greta sign, will they arrest you for supporting someone who supports those who support Palestine? British Matryoshka doll-ass fascism.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
