please if people can share this around i would appreciate it. maybe if it gets enough support it will get Steam to take harassment seriously. if anyone can help 🙏 idk what to do because this means if i have my games on Steam, Steam will not do anything about harassment.

The Quan Chi gimmick this year has been unbelievably successful

everyone else at the table "i have 2 pair" "I've got a full house" me, smiling serenely

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.

The best cosplay at the mega man gathering is easily Gutsman's Ass

enjoy your deathtrap, ladies!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Singing "someone left Quan Chi out in the rain" to myself to the tune of MacArthur Park over and over like the worst vocal stim of all time

I wish, I wish To use my arse To fart with dragons Until next time

just found a very important video

I ran into him in dealer's room and I fucking cackled

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

Good long thread about the serpentine path to the formation of modern Sega!

My sister and I have reached an agreement

Now that's a public service

The obscenity

Finally watched @stopskeletons.bsky.social great Faceball 2000 documentary and decided to represent the Sisyphean task Uncle Derek, Uncle Bob, Zarithya and many other people undertook in making Faceball's 16 player mode work. Made this in the style of vintage game ads in magazines. Have a nice day!

This man converted to a faith that makes it its mission to remind him at every turn and at the highest possible levels that it fucking hates his guts, so at least there’s that.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Palestinians stood in solidarity with Black Americans in the aftermath of Mike Brown. They also painted a mural of George Floyd in the West Bank and rallied for him. This is very important history and part of why we’re here today.

IT HAS BEGUN

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

i can't explain it but this is what i feel like lately

Here's a really big, new interview about the creation of #StrayChildren — and it's on IGN! Go read it!

I also need to highlight someone else’s contribution to the Magfest museum this year: a slew of Japanese keitai with games on them! These were staples of Japanese gaming pre-smartphone, and it’s rad to see them presented here on their original hardware.

The fact that the phrase "pro-fox hunting lobby" can describe a real thing and not just be an offhanded simpsons joke is depressing

HISTORY OF A HEDGEHOG #sonicthehedgehog

"come up with some english grocery signs" "ok"

An utterly insane time to go "We don't really think Trump opposition resonates."

Sometimes i like to go on wayback and browse Planet Half-Life, a site that i checked every single day from when i was like 9 for years, so i know i have seen everyone of these posts. So much media from long-forgotten mods and sites. Even the ones that came out and got played are mostly lost now

Yikes… late 60s Ronald was pretty intense

If you're in the UK and have Facebook, a woman is giving away her late father's PDP-8/L based in Bristol. Schematics included. www.facebook.com/share/p/1A95...

like yeah maybe this is all copium, maybe I could be seen as taking things too personally, but I've met so many people over the years that are so passionate about old media, so passionate and sincere about making a new world with the old, that reducing their efforts to "nostalgia" feels criminal

I know I keep harping on this but I feel weird about how exploration of old media is perceived in 2026 I hear "nostalgia" bandied about more when it always felt like it was about more than that -- my exploration didn't really think about that so much as exploring temporal worlds I never accessed

Telling a comic writer your story idea is the best way to ensure it will NEVER HAPPEN.

They tried to make people forget what happened at Kent State, too. It didn’t work.

Someone in a chicken suit walked out onto their hotel balcony, and everyone in the atrium started chanting CLUCK! CLUCK! CLUCK! Welcome to MAGFest, a video game festival

The Trace has been tracking shootings connected to Trump's immigration crackdowns — an important project that I had somehow missed but shines today: www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Thanks to the work of preservationists like @rockmancosmo.bsky.social, we can all play Mega Man (or rather, Rockman) games that were exclusively released on Japanese mobile devices, that might otherwise be lost to time. How about some Rockman Tennis?
