Finally turned the Fire Emblem GBA map sprite @theblindarcher.bsky.social made for me a while ago into a gif, which is now the icon of the discord server. :3

you dumb fucks are always saying this. you know what I can do that people on console can't?

Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?

Good luck with that.

Repeating the missteps made with Helldivers during the height of backlash is certainly a choice, Sony.

Early thoughts: solid gameplay loop, difficulty feels balanced, music slaps, and the visuals are both clear and stylish. Might be fun in small bursts! As for feedback, in the future it would be cool to see some world building or crew interactions added to get folks invested in their mission.

Guys, I think Sony's calculated risk wasn't so calculated. lol

Everybody talks about the digital-physical split and how Sony "justifies" the death of physical media on PlayStation. So we wrote a piece about how astroturfing through statistics works in this industry:

And that concludes my first run of ChainStaff. Verdict? If you like run-n-gun platformers, play it. Gameplay kicks ass, art style's amazing, and the soundtrack rips.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.

This is a grim moment for the gaming community. Sony PlayStation announced today that it will cease all physical games production in 2028. This will essentially erase legal game preservation and ownership on their platform. The ESA lied to lawmakers to bring down the POG Act ...

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.

We all know physical games are not ideal for preservation (ROM dumping is) and the outrage is not about that. The end of physical media kills the second hand market. No more buying or selling used games. No more borrowing your friend a game. Games disappearing from libraries. THAT is the real issue!

At that point why even make the console?

You heard it here first, people! The ESA declared Minecraft and Call of Duty private servers illegal in today's hearing on the POG Act Read more (We're recruiting!): www.reddit.com/r/StopKillin... We also have a launch for #StopKillingTheInternet: www.reddit.com/r/StopKillin... #StopKillingGames

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

Please contact your House Congressman [RIGHT NOW] and demand that Kids Online Safety Act [KOSA] and the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act [KIDS Act] both be opposed! Its moving within the House TODAY www.congress.gov/members/find...

Call your Reps, even if they're not there right now you can leave a message, trust me, they do see those. You don't have to be eloquent, you don't have to make a good argument, this isn't debate club, just say "Vote No on this bill," and that's all you need.

Please follow the instructions to contact your representative and tell them to vote NO on the KIDS Act. The US House will vote on it at 6:30 PM on Monday. There is no time to waste. The free internet is at stake. See replies for how to look up your representative.

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would
