Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

I guess the thing that keeps astonishing me is the degree to which it doesn't occur to them that anyone has to be good at anything

SHOULD'VE LET TIM WALZ KEEP CALLING THEM WEIRD.

the media apparatus that is going to try and parse the shooter for mainstream audiences still basically only understand 4chan as the sole site of internet badness and have never heard of a soyteen, don't know the difference between a pepe and a groyper, etc. they're hopeless

KIM KITSURAGI - Never fuck with Kim Kitsuragi.

decades' worth of political science/public opinion research shows that what voters care about is informed by what leaders of their preferred party talk about, which also drives media coverage. this is how random conspiracy theory shit from the Fox News cinematic universe ends up in public discourse.

It took many years and billions of dollars, but Microsoft finally invented a calculator that is wrong sometimes: defector.com/it-took-many...

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

there is no leftist equivalent of Andrew Tate because Andrew Tate occupies a position that should not exist. his "viewpoints" are all insane bigotry and he uses his "platform" for scams and sex trafficking

Mamdani got 20 times as many votes in the mayoral primary as Jeffries got in the House primary that installed him in Congress

This effectively represents a robbery and several murders, and yet nobody will be held accountable.

Hey no shade on Pedro Pascal, a brilliant actor and seemingly very kind soul, but to say his performance in The Last of Us was deserving of an Emmy nom but Diego Luna's performance in Andor was not is malpractice.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true. No! SWEETIEPIE!

Going to become a guy who pronounces Xbox like Hunter x Hunter.

if you see this, quote with the last 4 games you played Trails of Cold Steel 2 Blippo+ To a T Long Puppy

Of course I would wish that on my greatest enemy. That guy sucks shit.

"The shuttering of USAID, in other words, ranks with the absolute worst atrocities in the history of the world."

Well, at least that kinda closes the book on that.

The absolute vulgarity of suggesting robots deserve rights while we're stripping them from real living people. How out of touch can you be?

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

nothing better than video games

going to make this CLEAR, because some of you are not getting it: if i don't like a game, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LIKE IT EITHER. if you like a game i said i wasn't enjoying, THIS👏IS👏AN👏INDICTMENT👏OF👏YOUR👏CHARACTER. i am attacking YOU PERSONALLY. so attack me back for christ sake!!!

Really can't be emphasized enough that Kamala Harris, like most Democrats, did not actually run on the defense of trans people in 2024. The real ask here is for Democratic candidates to join in attacking a minority population that is being persecuted by the current administration for votes.

next week, game developers from all over the world will convene in san francisco for gdc, an industry centerpiece. but recent events like the abduction of a pro-palestine student, anti-trans orders, and trump's aggression toward canada have some canceling their plans aftermath.site/gdc-2025-tra...

@keithjcarberry.contentburger.biz I felt very bad about my mistake when I got the review call out last ep, but I checked this morning and it seems to have finally updated to be 5 stars on the front end lol Loved today’s ep as usual!

Who said it, Daredevil’s Wilson Fisk or actual NYC mayor Eric Adams?

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I left this book at my parents so that I can read it every time I’m chilling before dinner Also it’s colorful and that’s just fun

i vaguely remember an interview with yoko taro where the interviewer asked him why characters who fall outside the gender binary keep showing up in his games, and his answer was something like “well, because people like that exist” and sometimes i think about that so hard i start crying

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?

I don’t even know what fresh horrors specifically everyone is talking about and I am trying to estimate the mental damage I will take by finding out details.

If you're reeling from Trump's ongoing attacks, please check out my latest piece about what trans people are up against and how we (as in, all of us, including doctors and clinicians) can resist these assaults. Includes commentary from @dreanyc123.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social.

The path to Ultra Instinct lies with mutual aid and building community.

Elon Musk got so mad about the FAA's caution around his exploding rocket facility that he bribed Donald Trump to fire all the safety personnel there & now 60 people are dead.

The Video Game History Foundation Library is now in early access. For free. For everyone. Wherever you are. Read more: gamehistory.org/vghf-library...

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

we just wanted to say the r word again. and that’s why we’re attaching it so prominently to our support for hitler

explicitly making saying edgelord slurs a pro trump dogwhistle is such a funny move. pour one out for the communists who like to use the r word today

Generative AI is not an assistive device because being a bad writer is not a disability.

Good things come to those who wait - the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library launches on January 30th, 2025. (We'll tell you all about it then!)

Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

15 years ago they made a whole ass movie about what a petulant little incel bitch with no good ideas this guy is, and folks didn’t listen, now he’s a petulant little incel bitch who ruined the internet yet is only being rewarded with more power in our new Petulant Bitchocracy of Divorved Bigots

none of these words is in the bibo

Never in my career have I seen such a giant gulf between What Companies Think Is the Most Important Thing in the World and What Normal People Have Absolutely Any Interest in Whatsoever
