📌Just in case a MAGA in your life is lecturing you about respecting Lindsey Graham and the dead. Have a good day, everybody.

Good to see this getting attention, but it's unbelievable that after 18 months of lying, journalists still treat government officials as truth-tellers who have to be rebutted instead of lairs who have to prove their cases in the first place.

Sometimes game titles rely entirely too much on colons but it's insane to me that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has none.

Well that is certainly not your standard game dev story

This describes The Amazing Digital Circus, for me

Big "Amazon buys Goodreads" energy (www.theguardian.com/books/2013/a...)

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

Devastated for my former GameSpot colleagues who deserve much, much better than Fandom’s (and Red Ventures’ and CBS Interactive’s) poor leadership and short-sightedness.

Losing Chris' leadership is potentially the biggest single blow this team has ever gone through. A critical hire at a crucial time in the site's history.

I love a good one-button game, and this is a good one-button game

Now and as always, if you've been impacted by the layoffs at GameSpot and a feature slot in an upcoming issue of @unwinnable.com would help in anyway, I'd be happy to have you. No pitch, we'll figure something out. Doesn't have to be games. You are a curious person. I trust you.

Had to or *got* to?

Some personal news (The Grand Prix score rolled over so add an extra million)

There's a reason Mamdani's focus on buses resonated. "The bus network carries 2.75 million riders a day, three-quarters of whom have a household income of less than $100,000 a year and identify as people of color." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/n...

Surprise Huckleberry Hound reference in here

Wasn't there a Black Mirror Episode that played out almost exactly this way?

Month-long story if Biden makes this slip-up

deal’s 500% done, war’s basically over

an LLM is not credible if it doesn't know that Alex Jones has died from some kind of bizarre head explosion alone in the drivers seat of his parked van

Feels like if AI was truly revolutionary and on the verge of replacing all our jobs this would be a bit higher?

This URL tickles me to no end www.mariowiki.com/Awesome

Between the World Cup and Games Done Quick, it's been real "work from the couch with the TV on in the background" hours around here

The OG Switch is still holding on despite the sales success of the Switch 2. I took a deep dive into Nintendo's historical sales numbers to predict how much longer the nine-year-old platform might continue getting support. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

Honestly this lines up with all the people saying “AI is pretty good at doing stuff I’m no good at, but it sucks when I ask it to do *my* job”

Queria ser um gatinho vestindo sapato de pato com luzinhas andando por aí sem se preocupar

These games were not designed for good PC displays. They were designed for your crapo living room TV of the time

Kinsley gaffe

Now that's a subtweet!

Hard to tell if this is Trump just imagining things or Trump telling blatant lies in the hopes that his base will believe them. In the end it doesn't really matter

An excellent episode of an excellent podcast

As annoying as this is, it kind of puts a point on how the "2020 election was rigged" stuff is just being a sore loser, as rump basically admits here

This is what should actually happen

How long until Microsoft sells Rare back to Nintendo? Not even sure if I'm kidding

Trump is watching the Fox News feed of himself watching Fox News

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

As someone who watched two episodes of Simpsons reruns every weekday for approximately a decade starting ~1994, and rejoiced when “a good one” came on, this is accurate

new metaphor just dropped

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

The Captain America’s bulge thing brings to mind this (still hilarious) swapping of Batman and Catwoman’s motion capture data in Arkham City. This kind of stuff is just the standard for female characters… youtu.be/JUWBoYwAgaE?...

Subscription web sites like @aftermath.site have to bring back this ad aesthetic

Headline of the year contender www.pcgamer.com/games/fighti...

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

I’m going to use this for so much video game discourse
