I saw those microphones while poking around Deadlock's updated map between writing news stories earlier today, and I've been thinking about them since. Love to see a bit of set dressing in a game and going "what the fuck is that. what the fuck could that even be for"

If Ubisoft fails we must create a new one. They are a load bearing source of games that you kinda liked at the time.

Above all other goals, above every single dream role and project, there is one thing I want more than anything It's just to be able to scream like this in a game

damage phase everyone

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

My first feature of the year explores the phenomenon of Quake Brutalist Jam for @theguardian.com, and how the FPS mapping community is keeping old-school level design alive. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

we will greet them as liberators

One Furiosa's Mother The Movie, please

Might as well put this PS5 through its paces with 4K black and white Furiosa

"Exploded on the tarmac due to a terminally backed-up toilet," you say...?

wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

Cheapest yet (less than a burger) for a gem of a game. Gorgeous, too. Pro tip: It is not a cover shooter. It's a superhero game. As soon as you can, start smashing up absolutely everything you can. You can have an infinite-ammo rocket launcher with a 300% blast radius upgrade on top of that.

My favorite thing about this? Wolfenstein *is* the nuanced, authentic take on WW2. It's the game that has the line "To me, YOU were the Nazis" being said by a black man to BJ Blazkowicz - which is WAY more unbiased a look at the history of WW2 than 99.999% of all video games

Finally trying Resident Evil 4 with HD Project installed and it's beautiful. Weirdly enough - a very cozy game for me, largely thanks to its environments, dense with lowpoly detail HD Project feels like a restoration of a classic art piece - the original vision available in gorgeous clarity.

You will be a tutorial bad guy in an FPS. your will drop handgun ammo like every fifth time.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Please enjoy this nearly three seconds of footage from the original Mother 3, newly captured off of a tape we're working with

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

right up my alley

youtu.be/SlSfr6Wa5sc?... Still among the very best trailers of all time. and the game will probably stand to be the best of the current decade.

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them” except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

Heat

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

When someone repeats your joke with synonyms

At long last, China has built the megawatt-scale airborne wind system from the classic sci-fi novel "Do build the megawatt-scale airborne wind system to produce 10x more energy".

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

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 Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns. steamcommunity.com/profiles/765... if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

Silent Hill f ending 2 and ending 4 final bosses

the idea that you can use genAI that’s exclusively trained on your studios content is very silly because 1) yes that’s fine 2) won’t work though 3) a much faster and easier way would be to hand author a bunch of pieces and design a system to mix and match them 4) whoops that’s just proc gen

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

this is so multipurpose for making fun of losers lmao

It’ll hurt but you should probably read this, given all of the lies being spread about her.

many talking about buying the Pathologic 3 supporter bundle today

Used to only have to dial 7 digits to call a friend in town.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/798775628
