i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

I get the excitement for the new Marvel but this game's visual style is WILD

This is a deep cut that goes back to the other site but it's always a momentous day when Fozzie decides to bust out Toilet Dog

Get ready for a bunch of photos later from NYC's defunct street art wonderland, 5 Pointz. I found my stash and dammit do I miss the hell out of that place.

i had high expectations for hades 2. as mechanically impressive as it is most of the time, supergiant’s first sequel never quite reaches the thematic weight of its predecessor, nor the studio’s past work, resulting in missed potential in almost every story beat. my review, and first, for VGC:

Post a concert photo you took

Not kicking Kimmel off the air would have been the easiest thing to do given the substance and context of his actual words. But instead Disney capitulated to history's dumbest dictator, pissed away every ounce of goodwill, and now isn't even waiting a full day to demand more money.

Hahahahahaha I just followed my way to the source of all the Chotiner jokes and it was worth the journey

It legit looks like he's wearing a person-sized tallit bag

Big ups to the social editor for this hilarious copy

We didn't mess with any merch at Hampton (usually we try to get at least a tee for the kiddo) but we were each gifted this rad pin in line on N3. I'm sorry I didn't get the name of the guy who handed it to me but brother, thank you (and your wife, who made these) again!

SPIN: GenAI is a jobs creation tool actually because it cuts productivity so much you need to re-hire and then double the workforce

This stuff kicks ass

Borderlands 4 is a painfully unfunny game. Baby Steps is one of the funniest games I've ever played. As such, I decided to explore what makes comedy so difficult to pull off in the video game medium and why Baby Steps succeeds where Borderlands 4 fails. www.androidpolice.com/baby-steps-r...

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

Only just got around to firing this up and it's a GREAT compilation from Field of Vision. I love what these guys are doing to mix in EDM. *Very* curious to see what come of them taking those shows on tour next month > November.

OH COME ON

Suzy > Julius closing the second set of N2 was lots of fun but this one-hour stretch that came right before those closers is the business

Had a fun time chatting about games, with some deep dives into how I got to where I am today. Give it a watch, if ya like.

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Follow Rob if you want to stay up to date on a steady stream of rad new indies that you could've easily missed. (With Hades II *not* being one of those easy-to-miss items lol)

I'd like to specifically thank ABC's gutless cowering under threat from a dumb, toothless dictator and obviously-revenue-motivated quick turnaround non-apology for making the decision to kill a $20 monthly subscription fee even easier.

Movin & groovin

This morning's assignment is figuring out where crab cakes and cheese steaks will be happening

LIKE I WAS JUST SAYING good stuff still does exist, like when a bunch of hateful goons try their damnedest to sanitize a dead hatemonger's public identity and fail to pull it off SPECTACULARLY

Um hi I'm sorry to wake you but my dog's head seems to have completely disappeared

Woke up feeling blessed to have shared in the immaculate creative energy of the past two nights and grateful for the partner with whom I get to share it all. It's evil as hell out there but good stuff still exists and it's important to hang onto that shit.

Ready for lift off one more time

Ready for lift off one more time

Got in too late for a decent seat so it's the same vibe tonight as last night only closer

Julie is very cool and you should hire her

We felt so bad about getting here yesterday and essentially just dumping these two when we left for the show a half hour later. So this morning we shlepped our post-show asses out to Newport News and brought back this bounty that they're gleefully tearing into now.

Not a bad setup at all for something we had to book less than two weeks before showtime

Looking forward to a leisurely drive home tomorrow with stops in Baltimore for crab cakes and Philly for cheese steaks

This dog is THRILLED to completely own a chair

OK let's do this #phish #pick5 Split Theme WGTYM Glide Crosseyed Dark horse cover bust-out: September (today is the day, you have to play it by law)

Just remembered a moment standing in the middle of the giant, unmanaged mob waiting to get through security last night when this VERY spun-looking kid suddenly materializes trying to sell "tanks, full tanks" to hundreds of Phish fans who just wanted to get inside. Don't spin and sling, wooks.

Bringing dogs on "tour" (lol two shows in one location then home) would never be my first choice but it's nice to have these dorks here. (Even if Fozzie's choices this morning made me the odd one out on sleeping in.)

I will not ride at dawn. That’s way too early

It was surprisingly easy to dance my ass off all night in a walking boot

Taco Bells in this part of Virginia are open until 4am it's a beautiful gift

That was a really good Phish concert. Boogie On, Funky Bitch, and Moonage are my first set highlights. And that second set.... everything from the segue into Simple until the encote was over. (I don't mind ER this one just didn't do much for me.)

Not bad for a coupla stragglers that stumbled into the venue 20 minutes before lights

Respect to my guy wearing a Lamb of God tee to Phish at Hampton

Reupping this now that folks are more awake. Smooth drive from NY but it looks like we'll get to the mothership at close to 7. I'm guessing the available space inside will be pretty slim by then. If anyone can hold two seats or has a spot on the floor where we can join you, that would be rad.

Fuck this

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

We are ON THE ROAD and the gang's all here. Time will be pretty tight getting to the venue on time so probably no pregaming tonight. Anyone have tips for chill meet up spots or dance locations in the venue for later arrivals?
