Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

Ok so basically the main thing you need to understand about Gamera is that he’s a friend to all children

There is no universe in which this is something that should have been published. They should have taken this writer aside and gotten them some help. I don't even say that flippantly. This is someone who is going through something.

Rockstar: "We cannot have a game featuring a Latina baddie as long as Republicans have unified control of government"

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

oh boy

Friendly reminder that a game meeting or beating expectations does not necessarily mean it sold better or worse than other games. Internal financial expectations and comparative performance between titles are different things.

impossible to express how humiliating it is to actually take this to court as the border patrol agent who got hit with a sandwich IN his bullet-proof vest. oh i'm sorry, it wasn't a sandwich-proof vest?

bluesky is going to be so normal about this

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot. n.pr/3JKj19D

now I want a sandwich.

I've always heard: "video games hate to be made"

Jake got fired for defending journalists doing important work. I rag on the state of the press all the time, but this is what integrity looks like. Hire Jake. He's got scruples and talent, two things sorely missing in the media landscape today.

Drinking with a game director at a launch party. He said something through all the free wine that still sticks with me. "Making a game is like landing a plane while you are building it, and the plane is on fire."

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"

I’ve just seen a narrowboat that looks like it’s entirely crewed by cats, and it’s not even 10am

3:19am I believe in us. We will be okay. We will see communism in our lifetimes. I love you. 3:44am Burning all my paintings. My art is a waste I am sorry for wasting so much time I will never be good enough 4:31am if kirby swallowed a pirate he would be Scurby

Poet, musician, and software engineer nori li, here as @nori.gay, has died. She was phenomenally talented and dearly loved 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜

has anyone seen my cat

if the headline sucks I'm not going to investigate. they should write better headlines! i clean up after too many people already

There is literally like infinity money going into solar and batteries. Most of the fight being put up here is NIMBYism, culture warrior stuff, coal producers using the state, private/state utilities making things hard. Like Trump just cancelled one of the biggest solar projects

Come, my lord, We will bestow you in some better place, Fitter for sickness and for crazy age.

seeing "the news that's fit to print" right under that headline is stunning imagery

But right now, I'm going to tell you the kind of story so sweet it will make your teeth ache and that isn't usually my beat but it made my day.

Uni has entered attack mode! :3

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

“one of my GOTY is [checks notes] the experience of discovering discomfort in my personal relationship to labor and time” (this is Time Bandit by the way and I really recommend trying to play it and accepting its logic and demands and seeing what it uncovers to you)

I think it’s really cool how my GOTY lists usually have one deeply insane pull. one year it was that interactive house map

I actually like the rude filter and think it should be expanded to also include "annoying" and "wrong about everything" I also think we should be able to buy redtext for posters we don't like

oooh I’m not going to get into a dunk war but someone saying the best video game of 2025 is the Oblivion remake does not, uh, fill me with confidence about the rest of their opinions

is now the time to admit that I made over one of my sims to be Zohran Mamdani coded

Just going to save this to use as a reaction image whenever someone comes out as trans

something that I wish was interrogated further (aligned with @sharonk.bsky.social's notion of china and the US as bretheren nations) is the tension between the traditional venertion of agriculture and rurality in china, versus the (arguably historic inevitability) of industrial urbanisation

[booting up an objectively bad but fun show for background noise]

the thing you need to know about ryan murphy is that he occupies a part of the kinsey scale previously thought to be conjectural where our best theoretical sexologists believe that he cannot detect or interact with straight people

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

Today we just got 100 new followers and a bunch of people saying "whoa I've never heard of this" re: the game we have been thumping into the ground for the last 3 years by posting one gif from our earliest demo. If you think you post too much about your game: you probably don't!

too many game

there’s a thing here about for the last decade or so, online people have been very negative about small talk - the weather, or local news, or whatever - and small talk is the grease that keeps physical interactions going, and i am tired of ceding that to shut-ins

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

I do think a big compelling part of the fantasy of RPGs is “it is possible to understand and deploy a coherent model of how people will react to me”

#OuterWorlds2 takes place in a fanciful future where you can change people's minds by talking to them.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

mmmm my favorite mcdonald’s food, Dore, Caprer, and a side of Cchinges
