Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Here's the thing: If the Steam Machine costs more than a Steam Deck (which can just be docked to a TV), it becomes a pretty hard sell in comparison. I know it has "6x the power" and can supposedly do FSR'ed 4K, but still...

So far responses to this are all over the map in both directions. The expectations game is a tough one on this stuff!

Over/unders for Steam hardware pricing: Steam Machine 512GB: $700 (with controller), $650 (no controller) Steam Frame: $600 (256GB), $750 (1TB) Steam Controller (a la carte): $70 What say you all?

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!

Not the main point, but can we just say that this is a very odd email exchange for a reporter (Michael Wolff) to conduct with a source (Jeffrey Epstein)? Esp a source who, 7 years pvs, had pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution w/ a minor, and who'd been sued by a victim just 3 months earlier.

Everyone Nintendo fan watching the new Mario Galaxy 2 trailer (and the movie when it comes out)

ok credit where it's due, these are both very funny email addresses

Metal Gear Solid (1998)

Now do Homer Simpson

Next Zelda game should just aim for this visual style throughout. The fandom would go nuts

Somehow the "Just the News" bit is even more annoying than "thank you for your attention to this matter"

I distinctly remember a game journalist who would write up whole blog posts *while walking between E3 appointments*, typing with one hand while holding the laptop in his other. (Name withheld out of respect)

Oh so he just can’t control his caucus, got it

I've said it before, but the 5-10 minutes when Zoom is "converting meeting recording" after a lengthy interview are some of the most harrowing of my working life.

I know this chart is wrong because a circa 2000 CRT TV is way more expensive and harder to find today...

like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

Most concise summary of the last 1.5 months of politics

To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

the wealthy oligarchs want to control all flow of information to create narratives and beliefs they want to instill into populations, no better illustrated by comparing how elon musks ‘grokipedia’ talks about hitler compared to ‘wikipedia’

Gotta spend money to lose money...

Getting the GOP to reject this is what winning the politics of the shutdown looks like

It's Glonzo-ing time!

Y'all crazy if you're thinking about spending $300 to watch trailers.

This is one of those situations where I think you actually can cover it better sitting in a hotel room then meeting people at parties/events surrounding

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

COVID broke the US consumer in ways we have yet to recover from

Dat CRT glow

This is what happens when the money people read too much sci-fi

This is what got us a million public works named after Carnegie in Pittsburgh. There's just no analogue today

This is true of all art forms now. Oversupply means there has to be a discernible *reason* you are reviewing *this thing* and not 1,000 others

This is why Trumpism isn't working the same way when Trump is not on the ballot

Trump is having the government take active stakes in the commanding heights of the economy. Zohran Mamdani is proposing free buses, universal child care, and higher taxes for billionaires. Which one of these is the socialist again?

We've got 31 game devs who are keen to get to work, @rockstargames.com.

You can't spell "calipers" without AI...

At this year's rate of "a six month delay every six months" GTA6 will literally never come out

So did we all settled on a genre name for "Vampire Survivors"-style games, or is it still up in the air?

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Won't believe this is true until a consumer robot is folding my laundry

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Hi hi! I'm happy and proud to announce that I've spent the last few weeks preparing the relaunch of @digitalfoundry.bsky.social as its Launch Site Editor! A dream role in many ways. I'll be translating the DF team's videos in the site's early months while building exclusive content. Check it out:

I am not fucking joking when I say the English-speaking video game world would be nothing without GameFAQs. Everyone and their mom used it (literally, my mom and all her friends). If you played video games in the 2000s you probably knew GameFAQs in the same way most people know, like, Wikipedia

This looks cool but I worry that it might secretly be a horror movie?

Literally too cheap to meter!

The Blexas dream never dies

This explanation is ridiculous yet likely true. Millions of people did not conceptualize Trump the way we do (e.g., "bad person who did a bad job and wants to do bad things like X, Y, Z") but rather as a TV character, an avatar of prosperity who would somehow bless them economically.

remember all those 'project 2025 isn't actually real, you fools, you naifs' media pieces.

That’s so weird. I wonder what happened. 🤡 (via B of A) @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028
