Just finished the true ending of Hades 2, after finishing Silksong's Act 3 and what's available for Deltarune rn. Rarely does a gamer get to experience three of their favorite pieces of media for the first time back to back like this, my gaming dopamine receptors are *fried* lmao.

Did not have Virtual Boy on NSO with required separate peripherals on my Nintendo Direct bingo card - what a world

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

in a way aren't we all holding a barrel in the darkness

they should make silksong harder

After playing Expedition 33 and Deltarune this year, I didn't think Silksong would be able to break into my GOTY list. I knew it would be good, but I didn't think it could capture the magic of Hollow Knight again. BOY was I wrong. Unless something crazy happens, Silksong is my personal GOTY so far.

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

Legitimately feels like we're at the end of an era. No more "SKONG" comment chains in every indie game showcase, no more "SILKSONG TOMORROW" memes – Silksong *today*, Silksong in 39 minutes, even. ...Half-Life 3 when?

Four days until release! Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on 4th September. Release times: 7AM PT | 10AM ET | 4PM CEST | 11PM JST Game price: USD $19.99 | EUR €19.99 | JPY ¥2300

Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen

Had the chance to chat with Mårten Stockhaus, creative director of Into the Unwell and co-founder of She Was Such A Good Horse. Check out my interview to learn about what influenced Into the Unwell, growing up in the Malmö game scene, and what the deal is with Pedro. gamerant.com/into-the-unw...

I write a lot about miserable game development stories, so it sure was a pleasure to hear that one of the reasons Silksong took so long was that Team Cherry is having too much fun making it and didn't want to stop

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

literally impossible to tell what's going on with this anymore, just release it lol

Oh my god it's happening youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?...

Here we go. Silksong will have a "special announcement" on Thursday at 10:30am ET. AND coming from me on Thursday, the story behind why Silksong took seven years to make... Stay tuned! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGe...

I was planning to wait to play Deltarune until it's done, but I couldn't wait any longer. This Toby Fox guy is a real jokester, huh?

Just ghoulish and completely tone-deaf, in my humble opinion as a normal human being. Don't get me wrong, I think AI has its use cases, but there are countless better ways to seek emotional support than to turn to the soulless plagiarism machine. gamerant.com/xbox-produce...

There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.

An idea for the Everdark Tricephalos in Nightreign > Starts as one gigantic new-model boss with nine heads > Splits into three normal three-headed Gladius bosses >Splits into nine smaller single-headed Gladius bosses >Splits into 27 dogs from the Capra Demon fight FromSoft, you know what to do

Still left wondering who *exactly* is at the helm for DK Bananza, but hey, this puts the rumors to rest! gamerant.com/donkey-kong-...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Update: @jusdberube.bsky.social has produced VIDEO of the Luigi world record spaghetti tub incident. This is easily the most unhinged thing I have watched this year

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Did Tony Hawk really just say "Hey everyone, it's me, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater"

All I have to say is.... SHAW!

This Summer Game Fest is a real treat for people who like games with stop-motion and rubber hose animation

A Wu-Tang game in the year 2025. Let's fuckin' go.

As much as I think Scott Pilgrim EX looks cool, that title is awful SEO lol

SILKSONG MENTIONED?? ... by Deadpool.... ohhhh.....

I had no idea I wanted The Muppets Rocky until now... Felt That Boxing looks *unbelievable*

Omg hatsune miku and ichiban kasuga hiii

You can always tell when Geoff is about to introduce Hideo Kojima lmao

Everyone is hype for Silksong, but no-one is considering what will happen to the Silkposting community if Silksong releases... a million soldiers on the front lines of the meme wars, relieved of duty overnight. What, are they supposed to start posting about the *game*? Like some kind of civvie?

extremely funny that all the remaining non-nazi twitter people are like “hope you BLUESKY USERS are enjoying this” as though a) we cannot simply look at screenshots and b) today somehow validates their decision to continue staring into The Orb That Drives You Insane

Damn, the switch 2 is WAY bigger than the original switch. Feels so much less cramped in my adult-sized hands, too :D

Cant believe the switch 2 is gonna be in my hands within half an hour (ish)! Im screaming like this kid internally

Anyone who says that the Tamarian language from "Darmok" wouldn't work in real life doesn't know what they're talking about.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Today was the final episode of GameSpot After Dark. This show was my baby and it will always mean a lot to me. I’m super thankful to all the folks who supported it over the years.💜 open.spotify.com/episode/5FdL...

Whoever is in charge of marketing for Nightreign over at Bandai Namco clearly knows what they're doing youtu.be/Ot6j_qqYQaM?...

What to say about Nightreign... as someone who considers Elden Ring to be his favorite game of all time, Nightreign is like a dream come true. It felt way too fast for my liking at first, but after a few hours I understood what to prioritize and what the game was trying to do, and it just clicked.

Just saw Fellowship of the Ring with the entire score played live by the Denver Symphony. I don't think I can ever watch LOTR the normal way again now... hearing the whisper-chanting at the beginning of "Knife In The Dark" in person was one of the most spine-tingling things I've ever experienced

happy world turtle day now that the game has been out for 24 hours i can reveal that the topline melody of the bridge on the end credits theme for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: TACTICAL TAKEDOWN was made by drawing raph in midi

please be like The Green Knight please be like The Green Knight please be like The Green Knight please be like The Green Knight *laughs crestfallen-ly*
