Happily bought the gator of the year bundle w/ the DLC on launch day (i first played the base game on game pass). Want to clear a couple things from my backlog before diving in, but lil gator game had such a profound impact on me I'm sure I'll love the DLC too! (look at his little minecart 😭😭😭)

Hey friends! Don't miss out, our 30% off deal on Lil Gator Game’s DLC, In the Dark, is almost over on Steam. Snag it while it lasts! https://bit.ly/4kbsZ1o

The modding team Tsunamods offers Square Enix to hire them to keep their classic backlog games playable on modern hardware.

I concur with Lex. I had to walk on eggshells in my review and use subtext and allusions like a coward cause all the parts I didn’t like are restricted by the embargo.

#blutoid games industry freefall continues

Before this wolverine game ships bluesky needs a way to filter out all the furry content when you do keyword searches because HOLY FUCK dude

The EVO situation is dire.

Got blocked by him on the nazi site for this (yes, really, just this) and it feels incredibly vindicating to see people catch on to what a fucking clown he's always been lol

I am not interested in a new version of the weird mecha anime with the overtly sexualized children

It took this new CEO ONE DAY and they’re already saying they’ll use AI to make first party games They can claim all they want that it won’t be “bad AI” but cmon people we know how capitalism works lol The term “enshitification” exist for a reason www.techpowerup.com/346612/micro...

We're out there reporting on the grassroots gaming on noclip_2 Check it out!

Researchers discovered a publicly exposed frontend on a government-authorized server, containing 2,456 accessible files from the age verification vendor used by Discord.

wait a minute….

#blutoid apropos of nothing

#blutoid 👍

Not pulling this outta my ass either, here's something from Sony's 2022 investor/press thing, where they promised 12 Live Services by 2025. Aside from Helldivers, none of that is paying off, and that was under Jim Ryan who left before shit predictably hit the fan. www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/...

Sony has pulled a generational bag fumble, and in my opinion, it's all downstream from Jim Ryan's leadership going all-in on the Live Service model and having nearly every studio working on one (Bluepoint was working on a God of War live service) and what we're seeing is the long tailed fallout.

bluepoint isn’t even the only studio facing layoffs today

#blutoid what the fuck is going on man

#blutoid so RE9 apparently leaked early? Yea. This is absolutely the last generation we're getting physical copies on launch day unless they're game key cards or the disc equivalent. There's no way this shrinking revenue outweighs the negative impact of spoilers and piracy.

My evolving relationship with streaming. 🏴‍☠️

#blutoid life comes at you fast

#blutoid after they pulled 2+3 in advance of the first MGS collection i decided to buy peace walker the next time i saw it on sale. Seems that was the right call!

#blutoid fuck me, this soundtrack rips youtu.be/jwu6YmLEBj8?...

#blutoid overall very satisfied with the sony state of play. Most of the games shown weren't for me (most games *period* aren't for me anymore) but i really popped for the stuff that did. Some additional thoughts below 🧵👇

"Why he say fuck me for?"

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job. In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike. The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

#blutoid a league of legends spin off and the spiritual successor to apex legends both getting killed within a month should be a warning to anyone trying to launch a live service game, but the dumbest fucking people run this industry so 🤷‍♂️

Planet of Lana II demo is out now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation! Lana and Mui are waiting for you. Step into their world and play the demo today! ✨ #PlanetofLana #indiegame #indiedev

#blutoid we've reached the "they're bundling ram with glowy keyboards the way gamestop used to bundle the wii with shovelware" stage of the component shortage. Seems good!

#blutoid this definitely seems like a company prepared to launch a new hardware product in the first half of 2026

#blutoid Less than 3 hours to fully recoup dev costs is so insane, man lol. I realize this is hard to replicate but it's the direction this industry needs to aim for. Even if a game takes longer, having a small army work on it isn't sustainable.

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

@takiudon.bsky.social did the SUPER5 restock really sell out in 10 minutes? I was hoping to get the HDMI mega kit but it says none are available

We've got @jonmartin.bsky.social with us on Game Mess Mornings today to chat about Mewgenics reviews, the Baldur's Gate TV show, Wii remote updates, and more! giantbomb.com/live/chat

#blutoid well that's that. My 6+ years of game pass ultimate ended today. Back when you could stack 3 month codes that went on sale for $30-$35 it made sense, but jumping to $20/month, let alone the $30 it is now? There isn't enough value here to justify that.

#blutoid no spoilers, but i finished fallout season 2. Unlike arcane and castlevania, which i really enjoyed despite not playing those games, i found fallout just... Okay. It's clear I'm missing far too much from not already being a fan, but I'm glad the fans seem to be enjoying it!

#blutoid called that shit

#blutoid i was initially skeptical nintendo would meet their fiscal year switch 2 projections but the constant messaging of "buy it now before the prices goes up" + their discounts last holiday seems to have been pretty effective!

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

#blutoid continuing w/ ghost of yotei. Going in i assumed it would be "tsushima w/ a female protagonist and the occasional gun" (which i would have been totally cool with!) but turns out this game is a much bigger departure from its predecessor than i realized? And i really respect that! 1/

Nintendo Switch 2 is $399.99 at Micro Center (in-stores - free membership account required) buff.ly/h29d08a

Jesus christ this is psychotic lol

#blutoid great lesson in self selection bias and why user review aggregates are objectively meaningless (yea this applies to metacritic, steam, and anything else you're thinking of lol)

#blutoid started on ghost of yotei and... yea. If you know you know lol " " your entire journey " "

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

A black PS1 is 🔥 (we are now shipping black SS1 Founders/Friends Edition orders.)
