Literal cope.

This is now the FIFTH major round of layoffs at Xbox since the company spent almost $70B on Activision Blizzard in 2023. Another 3,200 livelihoods on the chopping block. Another deafening sucker punch for everybody at the company. Another stream of tone deaf excuses. Where is the accountability?

Life at Xbox post-ActiBlizz merger: Jan 2024 - 1,900 layoffs May 2024 - Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog shuttered (Tango eventually saved) Sept 2024 - 650 layoffs July 2025 - Microsoft cuts 9,100 jobs, including significant number of Xbox staff July 2026 - 3,200 roles torched

I'm not the home owner, but I shouldn't be the one calling plumbers and trying to fight with my dad, the home owner, to finish the basement or fix the house when things start breaking. I don't even like using the phone. Calling strangers makes me want to die.

hey look

Dear game developers: If you can't be fucked to make a cover art for your game and decide to just generate one, I won't be fucked to play your game. Thank you.

Sometimes I wish my fursona wasn't just a boring fox. Sometimes I wish it were a snake, or a dragon, a kangaroo, a rat. I'd like to be more exotic, interesting, but those wouldn't be me. I'm a fox and always a fox.

I hate physical disks, cards, cartridges... Whatever it is. But you cannot trust these companies to let you keep your digital purchases. They'll revoke them from you at any time. Even physical has this issue, but it shouldn't be that way. We should have the option, not just one.

✨🇨🇦 HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!! 🇨🇦✨ Time to bust out the shirt again

It's more likely that income and the gear you use makes a bigger difference than your sex or genes. And at higher level sports it's dedication and skill. What doesn't matter is mass surveillance for genitals for a few dozen people in the country. And even if it were everyone it's highly invasive.

How shit does Rockstar have to be before people put morals and people over their video game? I gave up on Rockstar many years ago over Shark Cards and layoffs. It's not that hard to play other video games.

as kojima begins to ramp up press for this, i have to unfortunately remind everyone that this is being published by Xbox Game Studios, and therefore is under the BDS boycott

You would think “your mom using AI to make it look like you were given a birthday party” is the most pathetic thing you’d ever see but then you remember he runs this account himself

‘Tekken 8’ recreated the video of a man protecting his dog from a kangaroo using its characters Leroy Smith and Sugar 🦘🎮

Tickling is such a weird fetish. It's wholesome, adorable, but you're only allowed to be tickled nine times before it gets freaky.

I didn't like the whole divorced dad flower Asgore since chapter 1. Does it ever make sense now though. Damn. Took a hot minute, but now it all paid off. Speaking of hot.

The three largest RAM manufacturers in the world are being sued for allegedly working together to fix the supply and price of memory, leading to the recent surge in price for consumers. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ram-man...

Good. Fuck AI and every game that uses it.

It's so funny that the Reboot Youtube channel got actually recommended to me. They know. I'm absolutely going to rewatch Reboot. I fuckin' loved this show as a kid. Alphanumeric, and all that. www.youtube.com/@MainframeSt...

I have issues with ALL religion. They're all cults. But why is it all the ones based around this book and it's various spin-offs are the ones that are most harmful? I have issues with religion but not as much the people. With bible thumping cultists, it's usually the people, too.

Participating in the #TyriaPride parade in Guild Wars 2. I found a land mine and now it's all mine. Don't forget to donate to the Rainbow Railroad if you can! www.rainbowrailroad.org/donate

Trump made Americans (And Canadians like myself) see China in a whole new light through decades of propaganda. Trump has done good things, but anything he does good is a side-effect of his awful choices. He's only doing good by accident.

Anyone who partners with Kick loses all respect from me. You know the type of people who stream on Kick. You know what Kick is about. If you know, and continue to willingly associate yourself with them, you are no better.

I still regret not getting the second and third shadowcrystals. I hit a point both times where I couldn't go back to get the secret bosses in Deltarune (I don't like to look these things up because of spoilers) but was so happy to see that chapter 5 let you go back and get the things for the boss.

Reactionary POS. He doesn't care about the issue, he wants to fake you out into voting for him so he can revert all of his fake promises after winning.

Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

OH IT'S SOMEHOW WORSE THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED OPTING YOU INTO A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE ON TOP OF LOCKING YOU OUT OF CONTENT IF YOU DON'T BUY THE MORE EXPENSIVE EDITION????? it is morally correct to NEVER purchase GTA6

I feel awful. My gastrointestinal problems are catching up with me and now I'm sitting here, focusing on my breathing because of the discomfort. I could barely rest, afraid to eat, and feel like I have to vomit. Good news is I still have a doctor. Bad news is it isn't for two weeks...

Steam should be adding AI disclosures under products types you can show/hide. If you can show/hide VR content, software, prepurchase offers and hide games that you ignore, wishlist, or already in your library you can hide AI disclosures. They are failing because no one wants AI in games.

I'm glad I beat Chapter 5 in one day because holy fucking spoilers. If you have to wait 2 years for a game, do you think it's cool to spoil things for everyone else? And no, "just don't use social media" is not a valid excuse. These spoilers aren't just a social media thing.

Everybody wants to talk about how “addictive” porn is while Kalshi, Polymarket and Draftkings are sponsoring & advertising at every major media event, targeting primarily men, and bankruptcy rates have risen 30% since online betting was legalized

They're transing the fire imps.

I made it.

Because I'm no longer allowed to, it makes me want to touch the reflecting pool even more.

Have they heard of "Look, don't touch?" Seriously, that might be next. Don't look at it either.

Jesus fucking christ just use your fucking brain for fucks sake

If other news was reported like climate change:

"You are completely right — Canada isn't currently launching a nuclear warhead towards us. I apologize for that embarrassing hallucination. If you'd like, I can suggest ways to apologize to their Prime Minister for our completely unnecessary retaliatory nuclear strikes that just blew up Quebec."

This show was my childhood. I'm absolutely going to rewatch this if this does go up on Youtube.

They're about to lose a lot of money, again, because they fuck over their customers about drawings about customers fucking.

Sick of these content creators on YouTube using AI for thumbnails and using the "UWU I'm just a widdle creator I'm not an artist" excuse. YouTubers didn't need AI before, they learned Photoshop, they drew their own thumbnails, they hired artists. It just tells me I shouldn't watch your videos.

I play pretty much strictly indie titles in the $10-30 range. I don't need big Triple Ass titles to get my enjoyment. My real issue is I have spent literally HOURS browsing Steam in a day and found nothing. There's so much slop, not even counting AI, to sort through. The indie space sucks, too...
