This might be a hot take, but if you don't want games to be overtaken by AI slop, you have to choose not to play games that spotlight it. Companies don't care that you wag your finger, they care that you withhold your money and attention.

Sorry for the lack of new episodes. For a variety of reasons, we're going on hiatus for the winter. Looking to recharge, recalibrate, and return in the spring.

This is unexpected, but cool. Would be interested to see Atari continue down this path of salvaging obscure games and giving them new life.

I hope Retroid sues him back into the oblivion he usually occupies.

Do I happen to know anybody who has experience in video editing, loves video games and gaming history, and would be interested in launching a YouTube channel with me? If you aren't that person, but know someone who might be, please pass it along. DM's are open to discuss.

They're donors to this enshittification of the East Wing with that gaudy, gilded ballroom. They're not commenting because they can't bite the hand.

The PS2 is 25 in America today. I have a weird relationship with it. It came out a year before I moved across the country. During its lifespan, I got married, went to school, and had twins. I didn’t play much on it, so I don’t have a lot of connection to it.

Buying ActiBlizz might end up being the worst move X-Box ever made, for them and the industry.

The genericized use of "AI" as a marketing buzzword for generative AI is doing so much discourse damage especially among a certain generations of the least tech savvy people to ever be exposed to technology regularly. That's the power of words on an illiterate society, baybee

Part 2 of a deep-dive into the Evolution of #Mario w/special guest @erikslader.bsky.social is up! #gaming #videogames #nintendo

New episode! @erikslader.bsky.social guest hosts with @streetsajed.bsky.social to discuss the evolution of #Mario. Part 1 covers his beginnings in Donkey Kong through the games of the N64. #videogames #gaming #Nintendo

Due to circumstances beyond control, today's planned episode has been postponed until next Monday. Sorry, friends.

Two price hikes on the console in a year, and now increasing the cost of Game Pass. Are they TRYING to kill the brand?

One of the worst companies in gaming forms a Voltron of crap by selling to Jared Kushner's private equity group and the Saudi investment fund. This is only going to get more terrible for the industry.

Subtly downgrade a band Cubic Zirconia Jam

So, the game is fine, it works well, it's just the user's problem, but it's also so bad, the Switch 2 version is delayed until TBA. Gearbox is something special.

New episode, and we’re talking about the best and worst controllers to come with the console. #videogames #gaming #atari #nintendo #sega #xbox #playstation

I'm not one for custom controllers, but this is awesome.

Randy Pitchford is incapable of communicating without being a smug, insufferable douche.

One of the coolest video game preservation stories I have ever covered arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

@kelnivale.bsky.social from @finalgirlspodcast.bsky.social is the special guest for this episode, and we're talking all about women in #gaming. #videogames

I saw all our videos bomb and could not find out why despite a LOT of searching and contemplation. Turns out, YouTube threw a killswitch on ALL OF YOUTUBE called Restricted Mode, and it keeps you from seeing the VAST MAJORITY OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. Check your YT account & turn off Restricted Mode!!

Dude hasn’t lived up to his legacy in decades, has expressed some looking-down-the-nose views on gaming, and is overall too old and set in his ways. This needs fresh eyes and a fresh mind.

Getting some new console hardware today. A Polymega. My retro-gaming capabilities just went through the roof.

If they want it to be authentic, then there needs to be several 12-year-olds yelling racist and homophobic slurs in the theater.

PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE

Hard to be excited when we know nothing whatsoever and all we've got to go on is buzzwords, but ... here's to hoping.

With Silksong now confirmed coming out (and in 2 weeks), what takes its place as the game that refuses to come out? Elder Scrolls 6? Beyond Good & Evil 2? A full release for Star Citizen? Okay, maybe not that last one.

NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel. I was immediately shut down.

Sorry, no, you're a multi-billion dollar international conglomerate. Eat the loss. If people can't afford it now, they can't afford it when it's even more.

Never forget that the founder of the studio is a loud-and-proud GamerGater asshole. Don't support this game.

@smithstock.bsky.social is the guest on the new episode, where we talk underrated games! #nintendo #sega #playstation #xbox #atari #gaming #videogames

Scott The Woz's heart is exploding with joy.

Six years to 2031. Six years until Dan completes the prophecy of the 8-way TV. If you’re out there, Dan… godspeed.

New episode! @fthatpod.bsky.social & @streetsajed.bsky.social tackle the issue of what #videogames should never be remade. #atari #nintendo #playstation #xbox #sega #gaming

If you don't like the moves by Steam and Itch to delist games with LGBTQ+ and sexual content because of pressure applied by right-wing reactionaries and credit card companies, sign the petitions at the bottom of this article.

Glad they cleared up that it’s Miles Davis “from Jazz”. I would’ve been so confused otherwise.

They're taking down anything with LGBTQ+ terms or content in it, regardless if it's "NSFW". This isn't protection, this is bending the knee. Cowards.

How are we 50 years into gaming as a thing and we still have people looking at it as a bad thing? Are these people still raging at seeing Elvis' hips move? Do they wish the Hays Code would come back?

Check out @streetsajed.bsky.social on @podcastersassemble.bsky.social talking about Back To The Future III!

This is unacceptable, pure and simple. Visa and Mastercard have no business determining what kind of merchandise is acceptable in a storefront. They're the financial go-between, that's it.

New episode! @streetsajed.bsky.social talks with @wwg.bsky.social his love for the Philips CDi, why the console is underrated, the best games, and more! #videogames #gaming #CDi #PhilipsCDi

New episode alert! @fthatpod.bsky.social & @streetsajed.bsky.social talk about the best #videogames stuck on a single console. #gaming #nintendo #sega #atari #playstation #xbox

... not sure I understand the strategy of chasing the much smaller audience pool of X-Box, but I'm not mad about it.

The audacity of Phil Spencer to say these cuts are needed while their business is "stronger than ever", with more gamers and gaming hours than ever before.

A nice story about game preservation.

(Jed) Started Stray recently. Discovered the "sleep for 1 hour trophy" goes by real time. That's some accurate cat behavior.

WOULD YOU JUST PIVOT TO A PLATFORM PROVIDER AND PUBLISHER ALREADY?!?

A week late, but a new episode! @fthatpod.bsky.social & @streetsajed.bsky.social are talked about memorable lines from NPC's! #videogames #gaming #atari #nintendo #sega #xbox #playstation
