Not sure why the IG algorithm has been giving me so much Romeo + Juliet lately but I don’t mind it.

Hank Hill is absolutely an Oguri Cap stan. A hardworking, no nonsense uma from the country, trying to make her hometown proud, and always ready for a good meal.

Disney betting on dropping Avengers Doomguy right alongside Dune in the same year that Baby Yoda's First Movie lost to three separate youtuber films is an almost impressive level of hubris

Wow, this might be the laziest AI disclosure I've seen. Also isn't that, just... everything?

Randomly had the idea to combine Ryu and Yun. #streetfighter

Lmao these freaks just burned 75 mil (not including marketing) on live action moana and they're really gonna look us in the eye and say "it's pixars fault" huh

Welcome to the "American comic book industry" phase of video games as an art form. You will pay more for less, people will get priced out, and the emphasis will be on extracting as much as you can from an aging, shrinking audience, at least in the AAA space. And that's if you can afford hardware.

I could really go for some $1 million in cheesecake bites rn.

wait a minute

Hadouken! Happy birthday Ryu! #リュウ生誕祭 #Streetfighter６

I really hate "hallucinating" as an adopted term for AI. It's malfunctioning. It's not a person, it's not seeing things, it's just failing at the function of it's programming.

One of the perks of owning both hades games is this ridiculous mod (fully endorsed by Supergiant) that staples the two together into one enormous whole. thunderstore.io/c/hades-ii/p...

Seconding this. There's so many people out there that seem to believe that ever touching Abominable Intelligence is a permanent black mark on your soul which must be known to all evermore. No, if people stop it and say it sucked, that should be where the chastisement ends. Target the AI companies!

What do you fucking mean they embroidered all the sprites

Few years ago I got to talk to someone who worked on this possible Darkstalkers Reboot, and learning that Capcom was in no way involved with this and it was just Ono doing all this himself to try and get people hyped so he could convince Capcom to greenlight it makes so much sense.

it's been sort of fascinating to watch Hasbro tout its big gaming ambitions even as everyone else was struggling, only to stumble over the exact same problems as the rest of the industry a few years later

I wish one of the lessons our industry (the financial side) would learn - you don’t get a Hades without years ago a Bastion. It’s apt at this point in time while layoffs & losses of knowledge across the board are being made on the whims of performances/short term judgements of a single release.

On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.

Last year in Sheffield (down the road from Leeds) there was hose pipe ban that lasted *5 months*, from July until December. Based on that alone, the fact that these projects are even being considered is deeply concerning.

Pathologic 2

Chat, there's one of them posting a chart at my mutual who had to start working in food service because she lost her job in the games industry

harada is so fucking funny dude

I was curious, so I did a little experiment: I compared the names in the credits of Tropical Freeze to those in Metroid Prime 4 to see how much of TF's Retro actually worked on Prime 4. It was an interesting little rabbit hole to go down!

This is a good take.

Found something for y'all to ignore on Steam.

Just like this. Refuse to comply. Our organizations are made of us. If we don't participate when they choose hate? They adjust or they are replaced.

A judge has temporarily blocked the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. merger. If the merger isn’t completed by Sept. 30, Paramount will begin owing Warner Bros. investors millions of dollars per day. (via Variety)

Note how it's possible to make it clear you want nothing to do with Vic when attending a con he's guesting at, despite certain other talents somehow ending up on stage with the guy and promoting their work together and later insisting it was purely professional and not at all a statement of support.

Taking a moment to admire how weird and cool the "best reviewed games of 2026" are currently.

The Odyssey (dir. Christopher Nolan)

There is my life before Bastion and after Bastion, which made its debut on Xbox Live Arcade 20 July 2011. Without it, Supergiant Games doesn't exist. I recorded the game's 3000ish lines of VO here in Darren Korb's bedroom over the course of about 14 months. Happy 15 to our scrappy little video game.

"Isn't AI a great tool?" The customer says while they're looking at an obviously AI'd picture that looks like utter fucking garbage and every cell in my body is screaming to maintain my retail demeanor.

Despite being part of the "I started a YouTube channel before @jasonschreier.bsky.social" club, I still want more people in the games industry should start their own channels. There's a huge gap for experienced folks sharing their knowledge and helping balance the sea of uninformed fan commentary.

Unfortunately this is now out of date, and the "Opt Out" option was recently silently changed to "Be stabbed less often"

lol twitter continues to steal ideas from bluesky, you can now add different feeds to your timeline. As with most features they steal, its worse than here as you cannot have custom feeds. It is nice to be able to just see art without bullshit though to keep up with artists that dont post elsewhere.
