The internet doesn't need another hot Bungie take, so I'll just say that the incredibly talented individuals there past and present deserved so much better than the mismanagement from leadership that put them up against impossible expectations. NO ONE has cracked weekly live service like they did.

Ah pour one out for Destiny 2

Memories: the OG opening sequence in Old Russia, running Vault of Glass, the thrill of taking a day off work and jumping into Taken King, moving my characters over to D2 and later to the PC version, the beauty of the entire Witch Queen expansion, and the love letter of Final Shape. Thank you, devs💖

Finally rolled credits on Dead Space (2023) - phenomenal game, and I'm so grateful to everyone at Motive and elsewhere in EA who made it happen. I'm also glad it's available on Steam and free from any insidious phone-home DRM so it will be preserved on PC. Jumped straight into DS2! 🤪

Israeli government are mad at him for saying the loud part even louder.

The Powers That Be have actively silenced any promotion of this important game (and previous posts on bsky were tagged "spam"). Big respect to @kotaku.com for running this piece 🙏 I've backed and wishlisted the game - good luck @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social ! www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

"Actually we only used gen-AI for our store assets, and they're not in the game itself" ok cool I only think you're a piece of shit who hates art and I didn't actually say it out loud

I'm playing a newly-released indie game on PC and rotating an item in your inventory (which you need to do to find clues) is so excruciatingly slow I have to pick my mouse up three times and reposition it just to do a 180 spin. Already confirmed that the mouse sensitivity slider doesn't impact this!

Picked up my Dead Space remake save from February 2023, and fuck me it's good to be back on the Ishimura

Rolled credits on Avowed. It's not a perfect game but damn if it isn't a really enjoyable RPG with an impressive commitment to choices that deliver on impact. Love that the cool sidequest everyone loved in Act 1 actually gets a meaningful conclusion in the epilogue summary.

100% Also just to note that while US mainstream media has stopped reporting on the war, Israel has broken the ceasefire and continued to bomb Lebanon, the US has engaged in piracy and hijacked multiple Iranian ships, and there are still the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.

How long before Naqura appears on Israeli maps with a new name?

Israel is demolishing solar panels in people's homes and farms as part of their ethnic cleansing campaign.

I am thrilled to announce that Dreams on a Pillow has wrapped up pre-production and we are about to start full production. We can’t do it without your support. We are starting our second round of crowdfunding, to support us you can find out more here www.launchgood.com/1948

Just a week after winning a Bafta for Best New IP, South of Midnight has won a Peabody Award, honoring excellence in storytelling! We’re so proud of our work on the game’s story, writing, & cultural background, & of everybody who brought Hazel’s journey to life. Huge congrats to Compulsion! 🪾🧵🐟

That's a wrap on Replaced. Definite GOTY contender for me. The combat starts out simple and chunky, and becomes more elegant as new elements are added throughout the story. Completely enthalled by the art, writing, and animation. GOD the animation!!! 🤯 store.steampowered.com/app/1663850/...

So what they did in Gaza. This isn't "concerning behaviour" - this is what happens when you build a society on the believe that only their matter, and that their neighbours are savages whose land is rightfully theirs by God's decree.

Random thoughts on the reveal from a Black Flag dev (who has seen and played nothing of this remaster): 1. The team have achieved that tricky feat of making the game look the way my fuzzy memory recalls it - only direct comparison shots remind me that this was a PS3 game. See: Dead Space (2023)

Replaced is really really good.

Fuck it maybe the world isn't all shit

By my layperson understanding, this is why the Second Amendment was created.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Second-hand thinking is honestly the best way of framing this. People who heavily use chatbots are giving up what makes them a person to a machine that at best makes them a medium amalgum of facts, and at worse makes them regurgitate dangerous falsehoods.

An alleged member of the Jewish Defense League -- a terrorist group -- was arrested on charges related to targeting a pro-Palestine organizer with assassination. Nerdeen Kiswani has long been a target of ultra-Zionist groups, including Canary Mission and Betar USA. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/n...

just to be clear: Imane Khelif is *biologically* a woman. she's not a trans woman, the entire intellectual edifice of terfism is a completely capricious attempt to define anyone they don't like out of being a woman

Oh no! Anyway...

Absolutely brutal news about layoffs at Epic. Unnecessary reminder that no matter how much money your work generates for investors and the C-suite, it will never be enough and you are disposable at a moment's notice.

semi regular reminder that the Mueller, She Wrote grifter used her COVID payroll assistance loan on a swimming pool and then never paid it back hope you see this you name searching scumbag 👍

If you use polymarket or similar sites you are directly contributing to the breakdown of democracy and justice. This is match fixing on steroids: if there is money on the line, people will do anything to falsify evidence and control events and the narrative www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

Nvidia have finally answered the question of "can we make every videogame look like those Vaseline-coated attract videos that play on TVs at Best Buy?"

Every family who lost someone in 9/11 should sue this guy for damages, because apparently he knew it would happen and did nothing.

They are dropping pamphlets over Beirut with QR codes asking Lebanese citizens to join them. One of them even makes fun of Gaza. Under no circumstances should anyone scan any of the codes. Please do the only logical thing and dispose of them.

🙏 Death to Chronos 🙏

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Can't recommend enough everyone listening to the first season of Blowback because they will absolutely try to use the same playbook to convince American citizens (and likely other Western nationals) that attacking Iran is good and just blowback.show/Season-1

I guess those schoolgirls were covert nuclear scientists.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

The USA isn't alone in this but as a nation it is deeply, deeply unwell. Any time someone says "we should look at how America does it" about basically anything large or small I get nervous.

Oh hey, the game I worked on for 5 years has launched globally on Android and iOS 🎉 This was my first mobile, first F2P and first shooter project. I'm incredibly proud of the whole team, and despite being in the middle of a year-long sabbatical I'm rooting for this wonderful, scrappy game we made ♥️

AI is ruining every aspect of our lives, and you can't even advertise your product honestly without AI fucking with it against your will apparently.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)

Co-signed: these losers who don't want to use their brains do not love the computer.

I know multiple game devs who took new jobs and had their start dates delayed because the big AAA studios couldn't source RAM for their workstation. Been saying for months this will soon trickle down to "regular" non-tech jobs, and eventually buying a smartphone. Next they'll force cloud compute.

This trend of nothing sellers trying to ride the success of others by copypasting a GPT Generated bullshit that brings absolutely zero insights is so ridiculous. Do they think there really are someone that will read this and be like "godamn, he's 100% right, I'll give all my money for their advices"
