XCOM but it's ghostbusters

Shhh let them cook

a new Bennett Foddy, Hades 2, and Final Fantasy Tactics in a single week isn't fair. it's just not.

god I hope the rapture really is tomorrow. not that I think I'm gonna make it or anything, I just want some peace and quiet

Star Wars lost a lot when Disney bought it, but the erosion of a coherent political identity stings the most. Seeing it used as a distraction from actual fascism is really gross.

Fix your brain and heart

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Hello Friends. I am ecstatic to announce that I have reacquired the entire Spontaneanation catalogue and effective immediately you can find every episode wherever you get your podcasts. Don’t get drunk and fight each other.

put this on a t-shirt or a poster or something, anything asap please

you can put him wherever you want in those rankings, really, just not the No. 1 spot. That seat is taken and will be until the sun burns out. Robinson's number is retired *by the entire league* for a reason.

sitting here in NH just staring at that big gray gap (Vermont, though?!)

we're doing it man, but we need money. and not onion money, like billionaire money.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

the thing about Robert Redford is that he was impossibly handsome AND extremely good at his job, which should be illegal

serious question, do you think Nintendo ever makes a Star Fox again?

lol

Virtual Boy revival with mandatory accessory, oh so Nintendo's getting COCKY

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

The greatest exchange in comics interview history still belongs to Jack Kirby

Funniest possible person to say nothing bad happened when he was a kid as a result of everyone having guns

The beer situation in Vermont is unbelievable (complimentary).

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

I think I should win tonight's Powerball. Didn't buy a ticket or anything, I just think I deserve it.

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

lol they don't even have the rights to the film and can't sell it or anything, they're just ... doing it, for some reason

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026 This is a fantastic way to educate children It’s a form of resistance. Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more. These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

I want to read a story about why everyone got so hyped for Silksong. Not the boring ‘it is a sequel to a good game’ story but the ‘how did waiting for Silksong become an active cultural thing?‘ story.

fellow Star Wars geeks: you know how Lucas kind of famously assembled a spool of dogfights from WWII films and newsreel footage for the VFX team to use as a guide for the Death Star battle? does that still exist, and/or has it ever surfaced anywhere publicly? does anyone even know?

so Hollow Knight 3 arrives when, exactly?

let's f'n go

happy Matt Fraction Batman day to all who celebrate

Our new project is live. A group of us former Polygon folks have come together to build something new: Rogue. We're a worker-owned, reader supported gaming site. You can read all about our goals and ideas on our (gorgeous) website. Please check us out and share us with your friends!

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

Nelvana has shut down, it seems. A real loss for future generations of kids who love awesome cartoons. piratesandprincesses.net/rip-nelvana-...

what game that you've never played do you own the most copies of? for me, I think it's a tie between Persona 5 and Kingdom Hearts 2.

playing as Oddjob is cheating

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

am I actually starting a newsletter, or do I just like buying domain names?

trying to gather research materials in a collection of small communities means I'm now carrying, uh, eight different library cards

I've been professionally opining about film and television for half my life, and I am endlessly proud of all that I've achieved. But @thisendsatprom.bsky.social has now been around for five years, and it's undoubtedly been the most fulfilling and I cannot believe we get to do this every week. 1/
