The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

Calling the RFK Jr diarrhea strain “MAHA Blast” since it has now evidently infiltrated Taco Bell

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

BRUH THE TENNOCONCERT IS SO FIRE GOD THIS GAME IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

This is the proper notation for Avatar Legends.

AND THE USWNT IS STILL THE BEST TEAM FROM AMERICA NOT THAT THE USMNT COULD EVER HOPE TO MATCH THEM FDT

FWIW I think it's a little strange that "Arkane's Blade is late and over budget" is becoming a lingering news story when the total number of big video games that were *not* late and over budget could be counted on one hand

Even now there's misinformation floating around, so let me make this clear: Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs, or 20% of the organization. 1,600 jobs will be eliminated today, and then another 1,600 (including the studio divestments) in the next 12 months. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fucking, what

Knew it was coming, doesn't lessen the blow. Fuck, this sucks.

Xbox Layoffs: - 3200 People are affected. - 1600 Layoff will take place today - Compulsion and Double Fine become independent. - Ninja Theory and Undead Labs under new ownership - Arkane Lyon is in consultation - None of Xbox’s first-party publicly-announced games or projects are being canceled.

in light of the other shoe dropping today:

I’m not even ON threads but I’ve seen this more than once, and this is exactly it

Yet another reason the bet-on-anything markets need to be ejected from the solar system, visibly, as an example to others.

GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!

I'm beginning to suspect the blowback to helldivers 2 having a psn requirement on steam was a major catalyst to them pulling out of the pc market and using terms like "not chasing MAUs" which they would've had in spades had they not be forced to walk it back. (not that they really did anyways)

cutting physical media save costs for corporations with no benefit passed on at the expense of consumer rights and ownership

BREAKING: The release date for Onimusha: Way of the Sword has moved up by 3 weeks to September 4. https://bit.ly/447Ozgk

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Hey @weratedogs.com could you possibly share to help out Beano?

The physical disc thing is bad for preservation for sure, but it’s also once again ignoring anyone not in a city. Sorry, the PS5 is $700 now and if you’re living in a rural area it also takes 48 hours to download CoD. If consoles are no longer an affordable entry point then who are they for?

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

Like many others, Sony ditching discs reminded me of that E3 2013 moment when two now-former PlayStation execs made a mockery of Xbox's convoluted digital gaming rights Xbox One plans by showing that you could share a PS4 game by simply handing it to someone But I'd forgotten about this...

The absolute arrogance of PlayStation this generation is on a different level. Xbox’s ineptitude over the last decade has resulted in a PlayStation that simply doesn’t think it has to do anything to retain its user base. “Our customers will simply deal with it” has become the company motto.

Every day in the games industry

Lots of things stuck right now, but at least we got some dipshit plagiarism machines that are always wrong out of it. Surely that was worth all of the planet's water.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

It looks like PlayStation 6 is going to cost Sony about $1,000 to make, which likely means it will cost more than that at retail www.eurogamer.net/ps6-bill-of-...

All my hobbies are being destroyed by those that don’t care about anything.

I've gotten progressively into slice of life anime over the past couple years or so and I'm not sure why. Started watching Tomo-chan is a girl and it's cute as fuck.
