i tried to get baal's writing on polygon and it never worked out for various reasons but now i own my own site (or at least a chunk of it) and now I make the rules babey!!!!!

They delayed GTA6 because they had to put the woke back in 😞🙏

I haven't played League on PC in years, the game looks totally different from what i remember, but! I still retain muscle memory so i can play it with very few thoughts

I have still only found one purpose for the weird pockets they put on the bottom front of scrub tops: kitten pouch.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

I had to remove Bongo from Aaron's desk because Bongo wanted his chicken sooo bad and i can't stop laughing at his aggreived little face

It’s not ever about the numbers—you can bring insane audience engagement, views, eyeballs to your verticals, shape the conversation in wonderful ways, win awards and on and on And they still will nuke your job and your entire desk in the name of capital consolidation and kissing the fucking ring

i owe so many video game designers an apology

I found my first HEAR ME OUT in the outer worlds 2 and I'm so ashamed

I did some good writing for Rogue this past week! This one is pay-walled but I spoke to horror devs and horror author @scumbelievable.bsky.social about the growing trend of economic horror as a sub-genre in gaming

Now that I've locked this bandit up in a jail cell I can finally enjoy a little nap. Let me just clip these keys to my belt where they'll be nice and safe. Now, I'll kick back in my chair and put my feet up. As soon as I have a little honk shoo mimiimimi I'll feel right as rain

NILES: Commander. You need ammo. Take advantage of my skills for some ammo. You'll need some ammo, Commander. We can't have our Commander firing on empty. Commander, I'm happy to help you craft -- ME: Okay fuck fine I'll fucking craft something. What can I make? Can I make something? NILES: No :)

Can't remember the last time I saw a bundle this good if you are into these kinds of games www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-...

sometimes i'm failing repeatedly at a platforming puzzle and I finally find the right path and I'm pleased with my gaming acumen until I realize, with horror, I found this path due to all the yellow tarps and paint. fuck. they got me again, sixty bucks

I got a press email that used the word "cozyvival" and I refuse to let this catch on when "snugvival" is RIGHT THERE

packing my Splash Hog-branded urinal guard and taking it to theatres, meals, and other public occasions so my hog remains unsplahsed like the Lord intended

the Bojack Horseman game is going to be rough

when is isaac chotiner going to meet the peoples' demands and interview the guy who yells "get wings!" when a group is ordering pizza but is not chipping in for said wings

the three little pigs? heh, you mean a skill based mats-gated huff and puff roguelike?

Master Chief? You mind telling me what you're doing on PlayStation?

I think video games should cost five thousand dollars until you answer my riddles three

switch players - you definitely want to fuck the evil elf. you surely won't regret fucking the evil elf

More Valnet layoffs, this time at a site that directly competes with the one it bought and gutted. The Gamer was trying to poach many industry-leading journos INCLUDING former Polygon folx as recently as a month ago www.videogameschronicle.com/news/thegame...

THEY DIDN'T SEE HOW BEN SOLO WAS ALIVE???? THAT WAS A BRIDGE TOO FAR????? AFTER THEY "SOMEHOW, PALAPATINE RETURNED" A GUY WHO FELL 6000 FEET INTO A POWER CORE????? HELLO?????

if video games are an artform then why aren't they called video art? checkmate

do you think in the 40k universe little girls have birthday parties where they open their gift boxes as their parents look on lovingly and inside there's just, like, a skull

Women do not like the vehicle.

Owlcat just announced the alpha release window for Dark Heresy but I will boycott unless I know that there's a apron for the kroot companion that says KISS THE KROOT

we need to discuss the "cozy" label some of you are putting on each and every game. hardspace shipbreaker is cozy? crime scene cleaner is cozy? just because you, the player, are wrapped in a big blanket and sipping cocoa doesn't mean the game you're playing is cozy!!! I will die on this hill!!!!

if you don't have generational trauma, store bought is fine

Ernestine's Women's Shelter in Toronto is a vital resource that helps aomen, children and gender non confirming folks. They've got damages to their building that'll cost 250,000 dollars to fix. If you can, please consider donating. www.canadahelps.org/en/charities...

I don't know why this wall decal from a McDonald's is funny to me, but it is. Perhaps it's just too on the nose. Who can say

Big day! Here's the thing I've been working on for the past few months.

I think they should do a 40K equivalent of that Star Wars hotel except you arrive and are immediately press ganged into working 18 hour days in the cafeteria where they serve grit rations. if you complain, you get to meet an inquisitor!

interrupting the classy cocktail party Im hosting at my high rise condo because I'm anxious and need to crawl inside my kennel

my kid was telling me about their RDR2 horses and obviously i had to send them @cassmarshall.bsky.social's hall of fame post about Hayseed, who "is not a friend" but "a sin" (they loved it) www.polygon.com/2019/2/28/18...

bitches in AI stories on youtube are always documenting shit

I got COVID in early 2020 and I feel like I haven't been the same since. I think my noodle got a little cooked

getting into phrenology but ONLY so i can help my friends buy flattering hats

sorry to be boring about this, but the tired line about "this kind of work is only possible via subscribers" is still true, there's no way we have the time or space to do stories like this otherwise

Whew! Another hard week of work. I think this weekend I'll take a trip to Silent Hill - it should be great because I've DEFINITELY never murdered a loved one.

Realizing I burned dinner a little bit and summoning a Pyramid Head-like figure to judge and torment me as I deserve

this has such a delightful tim robinson energy to it.

I want to talk about Silent Hill f.... I want to talk about all the spoilers and interpretations and endings..... i wanna shoot da shit .... help.....
