Moss launched on consoles today. I'm so excited for all the people who have never played the Moss games to finally get to play them. They are the reason I fell in love with Polyarc in the first place, and so much care went into bringing them to flatscreen consoles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMwW...

I've been saying for years that talking about and treating games like tech has absolutely fucked up everything and led to how we got here.

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

This is why the Philosophy Tube episode on conversion therapy in Britain was so carefully worded and went through lawyers first! It’s difficult to educate the public on topics that rich and powerful groups do not want people to know about

Long ago when the four nations lived in harmony.

Always remember that loudly calling something shit and evil and bad still has power, however diminished in this era of shamelessness.

I've become completely fascinated by the VRAM viewer in bgb. Watching how these carefully packed pixels come together to make an adventure, seeing them get carefully swapped out as you explore. So cool!

@isaiahsmith.dev told me Harry Kane looks like evil Captain America and I can't unsee it now.

As if you needed another reason to join the library!

"Suburbs" is an amazingly bad translation of "banlieue" which almost completely fails to capture Mbappé's point here.

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

I think Nintendo should release a special version of Mario Sunshine on NSO for people that swear it is a misunderstood classic that only allows you to play the game-ruining levels like Pachinko or the River or the lead up to the river or the hotel.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

"I thought our Give a Man a Fish Machine would lead to a glimmering new era of people learning how to fish but alas!"

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

The story here is not this stupid movie – which will never get made and never come out – but how the Tilly Norwood people keep getting these credulous articles placed in national news sources despite zero demonstration of any success or demand for this.

Linkedin is always full of people spouting absolute bullshit, but today's blast of people/bots who've never worked in or around games trying to act like experts on this Xbox stuff is especially putrid.

Wall Street Journal: Game Pass currently has around 30 million subscribers ➡️ www.wsj.com/tech/microso... Xbox had projected that number to reach 77 million this year, according to prior ABK legal proceedings

Sony: say goodbye to physical releases Xbox: we're cutting 3200 jobs Nintendo: Time your button presses to the beat across a splashy collection of games that will challenge your rhythm in Rhythm Heaven Groove!

Hey pals, long time no see (very much been in the thick of development!) - but ya'll might've seen a familiar looking game up on @theverge.com over the weekend 😎🙏 Thank you so much for having us @geoffreybunting.bsky.social !

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

That's a wrap on Ghost of Yotei - I think it's an absolute masterpiece. It's unbelievably sophisticated in the thousands of small decisions it makes in its design; intricate, thoughtful and measured in a way that open world games are almost never able to pull off, especially at such a large scale.

techbros be like

i see lots of reporting going back and forth on the tl about which xbox studios are or are not safe and i feel like they all need this post pinned above them. if everything is changing so quickly how can any one trust a report from 9AM by 5PM

4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

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

The Video Game History Foundation has called on trade groups like the ESA to find a way to "legally preserve" digital-only games for research. "Asking museums to download a copy of GTA 6 and hope it’ll run in 50 years is not a preservation solution." www.videogameschronicle.com/news/video-g...
