what a privilege it is to rival your own heroes

men of the gaming industry please do better and consider the things you say before you actually say them (evergreen post)

growing up is realizing the Yahoo Finance replaced the value, thinking power and excitement that the Yahoo Fantasy (football) app once gave you

Clipse’s Let God Sort ‘Em Out is an instant classic & that in 2025, a Clipse song, The Birds Don’t Sing, made me cry is wild & good

very grateful to have a job I enjoy, in the industry I’ve always wanted to matter in, with people I enjoy working with, and where even the most minute details fascinate me because they’re about things I would go out of my way to analyze as a teen until now

Tonight I learned Zohran Mamdani is also a wrestling fan and met his wife on Hinge and heck yeah to all of it look my observant political heart has been cold for years and I teeter wildly on cynical political thoughts about the system but TONIGHT tonight this is hope this is good congrats NYC

i’ve seen enough ZOHRAN TIME HAS ARRIVED

a thread of perfect songs 1. Blink 182 - I’m Feeling This youtu.be/4kMZ23T9VHE?...

The duality of I have very little to complain about these days / how do I best support the people in my life to find their own version of that

about to do the following after watching Mamdani the past few weeks (as someone who doesn’t live in NYC): - run through a wall - volunteer somewhere - visit, spend time at a park, eat a hot dog, and learn about community efforts in NYC New York City make the forward thinking man your mayor!!

my destiny, all along:

you ever go through enough internal friction to then decide “ah yes, this is my heel turn moment isn’t it”

let me make myself clear

Pedro Pascal proves that sometimes the most masculine thing to do is to be vocally and unflinchingly supportive of vulnerable people.

Weddings are just WWE PPVs/PLEs with one match

Ah yes, the best team in Major League Baseball, the Detroit Lions

I am not mad because spending time in this Chase Sapphire Lounge is nice, but I have had my upcoming flight: 1. Delayed 3 hours 2. Flight gets un-delayed multiple times to make it back to its original time 3. Then, it gets re-delayed multiple times, makes it back to its original 3 hour delay

The video version is still working its way through YouTube, but this week's podcast is ad-free at patreon.com/jeffgerstmann and out everywhere else. Like Spotify, for example! Come hear about this GTA6 delay, the power of Llamasoft's I, Robot, the Giant Bomb mess, and more.

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Giant Bomb, and The HotSpot + On The Spot before it, had the vision for podcasts, personality-based content, and livestreams before the YouTube versions of those even took off What it was until this point will hold such a dear place in my heart. It is one of the core reasons I am working in games

have not seen either season of The Last of Us (TV) and it’s been 5 years since I played The Last of Us Part II so…why not play through both games on PC again? (they still rock & run great btw)

I lived in Chicago for a year and went to every Bears home game for a season - during one, Seth Rollins was hanging out in some random section at Soldier Field and couldn’t have been kinder to fans. My fandom was solid then & there So, this rules, #BEARDOWN, lfg etc.

John Cena is the greatest champion in WWE history, that ending was ehh, at least there was Stone Cold Pro wrestling still rules! good night from Vegas

Your winner and still unable to go to Japan, Logan Paul

sigh ok if you see a celebrity or wrestler in Vegas clearly trying to move through and not be noticed maybe don’t yell or approach them in a mobbing way?

this man survived what I could only assume to be a four hour long flight into the heart of darkness

mutuals & good people of #WrestleSky! I’ll be in floor seats in Vegas for WrestleMania 41 next weekend if anyone’s around, let’s dap up & talk belts

good morning to the markets youtu.be/SPTPfbXsOuk?...

I find myself wanting say a lot of things about the brands I’ve been at in my previous lives & the social media decisions that get made in those rooms some of the takes on their (multiple companies) contemporary decisions are so wrong or apologist or out of touch

Is it actually time for Gamers to rise up?

video games man goes outside

NBA basketball is the best & will always be my favorite sport forever. Nothing like it. Take that with youuuuuuuuuu

seeing some truly dumbass takes on video game pricing today “$80 is GoOd AcTuaLly GaMeRs ShoUld BudGeT” please stop having a narrow mind, sit down, and shut your ignorant mouth

Top Secret. Real Genius. And a damn good Batman. RIP.

About 24 hours in & I have loved Assassin's Creed Shadows so far on PC It's a titan of a game with visceral combat and an open world that feels alive, in a way that finally feels like a step forward for current gen games Also, it's finally my childhood realization of a modern Tenchu game

Count Me Out got me through the toughest year of my life and it will always be in my top 5 rap songs ever

I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC few weeks ago (fashionably late, ofc) and it is...probably now in my top 3 games of all time? The needle the story threads in highlighting our bonds with each other & how we process loss hit so wonderfully hard
