mathematicians: This is the Schlüsman-Katsuhira transform. It took researchers over 250 years to discover. Only 30 people in the world know how it works. tech artists: This is the Schlüsman-Katsuhira transform, or as we call it in the biz, "ol' Schlussy". We use it for realistic cheese textures :)

~1 hour into Consume Me. this game is The Good Shit. the stuff that convinces you this medium is good. deeply funny and deeply upsetting. if you have ever struggled with body image issues - especially in high school - this is either extremely recommended or extremely unrecommended.

team cherry give me 50000 dollar to make a hollow knight fighting game

my feelings about the MTG UB stuff: it's bad

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Nation’s 56,000 Acres Of Spinach Crops Cooked Down To Single Half-Cup Serving

i think a lot about how the UK is probably going to become the first carbon-neutral developed economy but nobody talks about it because environmental infrastructure policy is depoliticized in a way that it is not almost everywhere else

found it

now that we've reinstated jimmy kimmel because he got fired for bad reasons (fascism) we can get back to work taking him off air for good reasons (he is unfunny)

oh man it's bad bad huh

I get it or whatever but a lot of people being mad at the andorposting are essentially engaging in "can't believe people are responding to a work of fiction, that's not supposed to happen"

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

None of these people believe in free speech or care about being able to say controversial things in the abstract and if you believed them you were a mark. They simply think they should be immune to criticism and consequences but nobody is allowed to criticize them and their views.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

GMTK calling bosses with random patterns "bullshit" feels like the logical endpoint of difficulty/fairness discussions over the past 10 years

i have some methodological questions

the point of the panopticon is not that at all times someone is watching you, it is that at any time someone could be watching you

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

enjoy my 3 minute edit

your newspaper should hire a games culture beat reporter if for no other reason than that you will not be able to make sense of modern culture without it

being in games world gives you a leg up in understanding the stupidity of our culture while also ensuring that no one outside of that world really takes anything you have to say that seriously

Visit From JD Vance Last Thing Utah Needs Right Now

"Is Trump going to crack down on Utah now???" the state legislature has been looking for excuses to strip SLC of its sovereignty for years now

okay this seems like a good moment for this: do you guys think video games are art

utah politics are about to go from weird to weirder

silksong is easier than hollow knight imo

Do you ever just think about how Candy Box has been written out of the history of idle games and get a bit mad about it

i have a theory that hollow knight was all about the dark souls style parry/block mechanics, & silksong drops that and instead focuses on an older style of bob-and-weave combat, and if you never really learned the dark souls style then silksong will feel easy because a game's on your level for once.

hey im putting something together for my boss for his birthday. yeah can you write a letter or better yet an insane poem or horrifying drawing about the unspeakable crimes you all have committed together

Everyone understands why musicians don't all want to make pop music, but when a game dev targets a specific kind of experience I'm not looking for, it's suddenly a moral failing, not a matter of taste I'm not moving on with my life w/o making sure this dev is Defeated in the court of public opinion

goes back in time and changes the way the marketing framed dark souls to prevent a large swath of gamers from developing a superiority complex over beating a game where you can level grind, read hints left by other players, or even just summon someone who's better at the game to kill shit for you

one of the game design trends of the past decade and a half is selling some of the most casualifying game mechanics and systems as "hardcore"

saw SLC punk for the first time. yeah that's basically what salt lake is like

I think if there was actually anyone who’d committed a crime of any significance on that boat we blew up for no reason, everyone in the world would know their names by now

two things can be true at the same time: - silksong was made by a pretty small team plugging away at it for a very long time - talking about contractors as if they don't count as developers is deranged

my apparently hot take is that as cringe as you may find it enshittification is describing a real phenomenon

all I know is that if I killed 11 people and was working out the reason why it was totally legal to do so a day later, nobody would have any trouble calling that precisely what it was

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

The clock ticks down. Another hint request for Seven Puzzles. You sigh, thinking about how in another life you might have been a bartender, or perhaps an author. But you chose this life, you ended up in Hint Jail, and all you can do is live with it. Another hint request for Seven Puzzles.

Dear Hunt Staff: We’re stuck on a puzzle - the fact that she enamors us so, that our hearts are aflutter when she enters the room, that we would lay down our lives for her that she may live on. This feeling is unbeknownst to us. Can you help us? We tried sorting by every column

as a mathematician i can confidently say that it's basically all bad

Yesterday, at approximately 9:30pm U.S. Central Daylight Time, somebody aboard the International Space Station rocked an astronomically impressive piss:

There is a massive walk out at the CDC by staff unfolding right now. It is NECESSARY. I stand in solidarity with my CDC colleagues. standing up for science and public health. It is a moral imperative.
