I guess im glad theyre experimenting with alt art forms but i really don’t want to read a maga zine

We give a lot of oxygen to Sam Altman’s delusion that AI is ultimately good for humanity, not enough to the fact that he definitely thinks it would be a little cool to be the guy who destroyed humanity

This person must have committed a horrible crime in 1986 and has been trying to purify their spirit through suffering ever since

A foul brew of discourse today… blinding vapors wafting from it…

Blake: you know what this game reminds me of. Remember Blood Gunk? Jacob: remind me. Blake: Sylvia Schuster-Romanovich. Maiden name Romanovich. Made probably my all-time favorite movie, can’t for the life of me remember its name. One of the extras in that movie looks exactly like the third boss.

Administrator Isaacman is a Kojima character you can’t trick me

NASA personnel asking each other if they remembered to hold down their push to talk is so perfect

So did Twitch just put out an update that alerts advertisers when you’re tabbed out or

Thinking about that dumb fucking ad where the guy says “AI is transforming customer service, we know that” What other product has to advertise itself that way? “Everyone is drinking Coca-Cola, i promise its super popular”

Where are y’all going these days for game crit that is not also 1) reporting 2) anime crit (vital but not what i wanna read rn)

guy who fakes having the cilantro gene because he doesn’t like cilantro (?)

Its insane how quickly we left “irredeemably annoying character causes immense distress to everybody but he’s a little sad so we get an act 3 redemption” in 2010

I’ve been accused of not taking a game on its own terms before, so I want to be careful about how I discuss this, but I think people are really incurious about Marathon’s design, annoyed at its (very real and sometimes offputting) frictions that they have no interest in what those frictions make.

Dizzy eye emoji (from @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social ‘s interview with @bysameng.com)

Half-formed thought: movies that are “for kids but secretly for adults” are just kids movies. If a couple of well-constructed jokes are your bar for adult media then I can think of a handful of movies that may literally kill you

Has anyone checked on Darron Aronofsky latey

Imo the only lasting change is one you make because of a person you actually know. I’ve folded on a lot of “this probably affects somebody somewhere” ethics but never on a “this harms a person I love” ethic Resistance-in-theory is far more fragile than resistance-in-empathy

I’ve been thinking lately, should auld acquaintance be forgot? I mean like NEVER brought to mind

Had a dream that Xalavier Nelson Jr was PISSED

This game rocks rocks rocks, one of the coolest hint systems I’ve seen in a puzzle game

Staffing costs, and the death treadmill of staking your game’s entire identity to a ballooning list of IP rights and licensing fees, but hey who’s counting

If I was a little shittier I’d say “there is an undo button, it’s called Abandon Run.” Really I just think it’s interesting how quickly a video game can go from wasting time (complimentary) to wasting time (derogatory)

freelancing

Can someone over the age of 40 confirm how awesome it was to order a pizza from the internet for the first time. Feels like it was maybe awesome

My son Blistopher is so based that when i took him to Davos he asked for some blocks with letters on them. I took him to Palantir and he unironically asked for a coloring book

Brother i just woke up how is there already discourse

not now Pacific nuclear tomb

Further evidence that Dark Souls 2 is the best one, right behind Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3. Incredible piece of writing Robert Yang has the coolest friends

(writing my review for a game called Bad Video Game) it may be called Bad Video Game, but it’s anything but

Someone good at music please help my girlfriend, whats the name of that really airy melodic flute on the main Pokopia track

I need to verbalize my thoughts about Mewgenics, a fun game that I am constantly looking for reasons to hate, which inevitably I’m able to find

Mewgenics is that kid in the group project who’s legitimately very smart but also annoying as fuck

Off the dome

The work im least proud of is the work i couldn’t give my full attention to because of my full time, non-writing job. As much great work is being done in games right now, it’s kind of insane that almost no one is working at the top of their game

SPIT

Got my new 65” qled tv, cant wait to see how Perfect Tides: Station to Station runs on that sucker

I swear to god my moving budget has been dwarfed by my stress eating budget

Far and away not the point of this article, but “slop” emerged simultaneously as a backformation of “friendslop” and as a descriptor for AI junk. Two competing etymologies with very different connotations, associated with one another basically because of poor timing!

Every time i get the chance to write about a great game its always some shit like “im moving and no one at Alphabet Corporation can figure out why i don’t have internet”

If no one else is gonna rep the dude then i’ll rep the dude

Putting the "LLM" in "Gell-Mann amnesia"

i think editors are more important than writers

Denshattack is the only good video game. And ive loved a lot of video games!! But im a big enough person to admit that i was wrong

“Japan. The future.” Im so in why dont all games start like this
