Rough day for the Tylenol marketing people. Before this the only work they had to do was telling people "it make head no hurty"

I'm so glad we got to commission this piece from the talented and tuned-in Ana Diaz

i think its stupid we have minigolf and golf but not megagolf

I heard a story about a friend of a friend who is a dad, where his son approached him and tentatively asked: "Dad? Are the back rooms... real?" And the dad, assuming his child meant like, the back hallways of malls and other liminal states, said "Yeah buddy" which inspired a crisis in the child

regrettably i have found i now call all short form videos 'tik toks' much like a mother calls every gaming system 'the nintendo'

I like when devs put iframes on a combat roll so if you're dedicated and hate combat enough you can skip most encounters by just going hup! (roll) hup! (roll) hup! (roll) hup! (roll) hup! (roll) down halls and through streets

[me, sobbing, on my knees] You can't turn everything into a deckbuilder roguelike. Some things must remain sacred [an indie dev, drunk on hubris, points at seagull] that's a deckbuilder roguelike now

who will be part of my world of warcraft neighborhood. please i'm so alone

I am starting a big project to Stick It To The Man™ that will be a multi-part journey of learning (read: failures) and discovery. Follow along and laugh at my mistakes.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

obligatory rogue.site plug. i'm writing sicko shit about weird video games over there

I always confuse Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. I think one was on SNL and one was on The Man Show? Someone has explained this to me before but I immediately forgot again.

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

Dare I consider a Rogue Trader full Heresy run?

thinking about ogtha, the sensual roach queen tulpa

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically: - Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already) - Dying Light: The Beast - Silent Hill f Standard rate is £200 GBP per review, make yourselves known at [email protected]

I think the best part about accidentally getting caught in a doomscroll spiral is not only do you feel bad afterwards but you also still have to do all the tasks you were putting off in the first place

One time i accidentally broke embargo (mixed up dates and pubbed a day early and then pulled it after a few minutes) and that alone filled me with shame and cold terror so powerful i now quadruple check all of my emails and dates

salaciously telling everyone im dating a handsome bachelor from silent hill and letting them all assume its james sunderland because i don't want to admit to dating the d-list murphy pendleton

@shroominteractive.bsky.social Hi there, I'd love to chat about BLOODMONEY! and human_expenditure_program for Rogue, a reader-supported site about video games. Can you send me a DM, please? Thank you!

one time i was playing peak with my husband and in a benevolent attempt to teach him how to cook a big egg, i took it from his trusting hands and said "watch this!" and then we both watched in horror as the egg sailed over the hot rocks and far away into the lava

Another great week! We couldn’t do it without our readers and supporters. Please consider signing up for a free account or even a paid membership! Some incredible games coming out right now and in the next few months. Excited to write and talk about them. Hope you’re excited to read and listen!

oh hey i wrote this

my picks for what to watch this weekend! pvguide.ghost.io/weekend-watc...

If you liked our work, you can support @aftermath.site, where some of us ended up! And if you didn't like our work, your support will force me to do business chores, which you can see as sticking it to me if you want

in 2019 i wrote a piece that was like "uhhh world of warcraft has a world-ending threat every year in its timeline? pretty improbable lol!!!" and I would just like to say: I'm sorry for that particular take. History has humbled me there

sometimes, when i'm trying to think, my brain just plays a low-rez video of sandra lee saying "two shots... of vodka" while you can audibly hear her pour substantially more than two shots. thank you hindbrain, very cool!

Are you a horror developer who created a game where the protagonist is broke? I'd love to chat to you for a piece in progress - [email protected] or my DMs are open!

i think typing on one of those big keyboards that superman used in his 90s cartoon would fix me

If you want to know why I bother with weirdo pervert gamer shit I wrote a little about why for @roguesite.bsky.social’s launch week www.rogue.site/editorials/s...

i don't want to be impolite but if I stumbled upon the cryptic remains of a tomb built by a ghost on my minecraft server i simply wouldn't fall prey to its charms and enter its depths. i'm simply wiser than that.

the first player who giggles at "wood for sheep?" is eliminated

The MAD-dest of birthday wishes to legendary artist, writer, and master marginaliaist Sergio Aragonés - creator of Groo the Wanderer and co-creator of DC's Bat Lash - born on this day in 1937!

Last week, @cassmarshall.bsky.social and I joined our friends @chasecarter.bsky.social and @rowanzeoli.bsky.social for @rascal.news’s weekly podcast! Give it a listen (and a 5 star review!) and sign up for @roguesite.bsky.social this weekend!

This, too, is my vibe (wh40kpowerpoints.tumblr.com/post/7395100...).

my picks for what to watch this weekend! pvguide.ghost.io/weekend-watc...

for @endlessmode.bsky.social - I wrote about Ocelot and why he's in love with Snake.

When @marioprime.bsky.social pitched me on this video I was so, SO excited to do something weird and big. AND BOY. DID MY BACK HURT AFTER FILMING THIS: www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Oq...

me and the boys discussing the finer details of taking the terminids to court

Big stream today! @nathangrayson.bsky.social finally has stable internet, and former Polygon writers @rygilliam.bsky.social and @cassmarshall.bsky.social are here to talk about their new site @roguesite.bsky.social. Also, a little game called Silksong. Live at 4 PM ET www.twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

I like to play indie horror titles because they're AAAAAAA!! games (dats me yelling)

JB Pritzker could boost his metrics even more if he subscribed to rogue.site

I want everyone to enjoy their new game but at the same time, it would be really funny if Silksong somehow was just really bad. Like after a couple of hours of Metroidvania'ing, Mr. Silksong shows up and goes "Here, Hollow Knight. From now on, you'll fight with this AK-47."
