Didn't *love* that the vet used the word "exploded" when talking about an issue our dog has...

Half-Life 3 looks fucking SICK

When I arrive at the party

I need to scream to regain a semblance of sanity. I -loathe- Windows 11. Every time I boot up a game, be it multiplayer or singleplayer, my network adapter crashes and I lose internet access. I've tried everything bar ritual sacrifice.

I've been fascinated by @arcsystemworks.com dip into visual novels with Dear me, I was... and I had an opportunity to speak with the developers about their motivations and inspirations. Enjoy a chat that includes A-Ha's Take on Me, Annapurna's Florence, and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

If I'm allowed to campaign for a game here. Atomfall has done a significant amount of accessibility work. Even if you have no need for these features right now, I still think its worth to check out what the developers have done: atomfall.com/accessibility @atomfall.com has done a great job.

My mom is apparently ranked in the top 5% on the Threes+ leaderboard, which means that I am not as skilled at gaming as my mom.

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

I’ve never played an extraction shooter, all my shooter experience is either destiny 2 or the division but Arc Raiders is looking so tempting to buy. I’m just afraid I’m not going to enjoy it solo and know nobody that plays it. Does anyone have opinions on the solo experience?

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Aftermath is one of my favorite publications, and well worth their subscription fee.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies might be the best dessert.

When they called Ned “one of God’s strongest soldiers” I didn’t think Fortnite would take it quite so literal.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

it might be a sign of middle age but ya’ll, I got an air fryer and I love this thing.

The Crow Country physical version is out! Over on @fangamer.com www.fangamer.com/collections/...

I was having a problem with cpu power profile kernel module on my ThinkPad, but since I am using Linux and can fix everything myself, I no longer have this problem as the laptop no longer boots at all.

i hate that this alone is making me consider buying a Switch 2...

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

I just finished reading “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” and I feel like I need to take a day off to recover. My partner couldn’t believe how hard I was crying about 3/4ths of the way in, and assumed I was messing with him. great novel, I highly recommend it.

Once @blairquynh.bsky.social argued that MMORPGs would fragment into distinct games, each focusing on a specific aspect of the genre. This way, players could engage only with the parts they enjoyed. This game might be the best example of her thesis.

I need more games that embrace "old-school" aesthetics like Crow Country does.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Enjoy your death trap, ladies. youtu.be/i_kzUJ9x1zs?...

If you’re looking for something to read, that’s also pretty short I highly recommend “Strange Houses” I downloaded it on my phone last night during a boring family event and pretty much finished it in a single setting.

I just don’t think this story would fit in AC’s gameplay framework in a way that would feel satisfying. 100% would play a game with this story, but would prefer it as a standalone game rather than this franchise. aftermath.site/assassins-cr...

What is the point of Sora and LLM-generated articles? Flooding the market with cheap, misinformation-filled content? Competing with human-made content for ad revenue? We see these companies shift their strategies to maintain their evaluations because the tech isn't delivering on its promises.

Moved all social media apps (Bluesky, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, etc...) to my rarely-used iPad to stop mindlessly scrolling short videos. Good news: only watched 2 reels today. Bad news: spent 3 hours arguing with strangers on a forum.

Has anyone here given Bitcraft Online a shot? If so, is it worth the €16,90 or is it just better to wait till it releases into F2P after early access.

I’m dog sitting for a little while, these two are so well behaved. But my house is now an absolute mess.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

The body that runs the funding said we needed a logo for our studio. A screaming pigeon felt right.

In honor of me not doing any real work due to the Silksong release, let me show you a bell themed mini boss one of the artists on our team has worked on. #gamedev #indiedev

Somehow even more teasing.

More mild teasing

Maybe I should give LOTRO another shot…

Mild teasing

Every time Windows serves me an ad inside the OS which I paid full price for I start looking at switching to Linux. I don't want to praise MacOS either because Apple has been sneaking in ads for their own services as well, albeit not as frequently. Anyway, Pop!_OS is looking good.

A photo of strength, confidence, audacity and charm.

Over the last 10 years or so this feels about right for MMO discourse.

Un immense merci à Third de m'avoir fait confiance pour ce projet de cœur ! Hâte de pouvoir en parler plus en détail en août ! #FFXIV

If my neighbor is blasting his music outdoors while he’s scrolling TikTok and smoking cigars, I’m allowed to counter with my own obnoxious music right?

The older I get the more I feel the urge to yell at people in Facebook comments.

I’ve been messing around with some of the Apple OS Developer Beta’s and especially in the case of TV os, I cannot tell a difference between liquid glass or the previous design. They were acting like this was an entire design paradigm shift but it’s just current components redesigned.
