“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

Great movie

Now watching

We are giving away our premier episode of Expansion Pak for free, and this one is BIG! GODZILLA (1998) flashback64pod.podbean.com/e/godzilla-1...

Thanks to @darrenhupke.bsky.social of @pixelsandpolygons.net for putting together such a fantastic book celebrating the PlayStation's Greatest Hits! I've been reading through it with my morning coffee and it's been a great read so far!

Steyer is far and away the best viable option imo

Hey Kopernicus: Extraction looks cool as heck

One thing I like about having a local neighborhood theater is that you can experience a packed house on a movie that’s been out a while if it matches the community’s vibe. The 2:10 showing of The Sheep Detectives was totally jammed with families and older folks and everyone was into it. Really fun!

I remember seeing this and in some weird way it still feels like I’m looking at the future watching this. For whatever reason this looks impossibly realistic to me

Don't get too hung up on whether your kids are consuming art/entertainment that's not appropriate for them. Care instead about whether it's any good.

You used to be able to name a book “moby dick”

I have a weird take that I think I believe - Andy Rooney negated the need to true right wing content in mainstream news because he positioned grievances about comfort and being out of touch as humorous and unimportant. Without him it was all John Stossel

Just went to the theater w the kids to see The Sheep Detectives and it was good! Pretty fun with a little more edge than I expected.

Titanium Court vinyl when

The Hudson News chain of stores they have at airports should be about Hudson Soft and you should be able to buy Adventure Island for the NES there

Noticing some hair loss compared to a month ago and I’m fairly certain it’s stress-related. Steer clear of stress if you can folks!

Thanks IGN for naming TANUKI: Pon’s Summer as their game of the show this year 😊 My co-founder Arioka gave a great speech. For him to win an award for his game, in his hometown after 14 years of going to Bitsummit was awesome to see!

God does this look good

It’s out! The mouse update! We have been working on this for a while~ every time I’ve had to launch an old version to check something I miss the lack of mouse movement soooo much.

Got a great game in the mail today - if you like games that feel great to move around in, imo check out @evilempirestudio.bsky.social’s Rogue Prince of Persia. It’s great

Gaming sommelier @jparish.bsky.social has put together a detailed read on some of what makes @limitedrungames.com’ #FUGA Trilogy so special. Give it a read. We put a ton of work into this in partnership with CyberConnect2. limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/t...

Get yourself some cool stamps if you’re at BitSummit

The talks today have been top notch. Equal parts educational and inspirational. ❤️🩵

The Mike haggar tied up about to be blown up image is giving me flashbacks to being a kid and being _terrified_ of that game over sequence. That and the Ninja Gaiden game over stuff. Avoided those machines for a little because of it lol

This seems like an interesting concept for a game

Folks really should let Nic represent their game at BitSummit one time. The guy is able to aff with the best of them!

Someone I think of fondly got a job at a truly evil place and I’m shook

These people should spend every day hounded by protestors. IMO they shouldn’t ever have a day of peace or comfort. Just my two cents!

I finally got around to @waxheadsgame.bsky.social by @patattiemurray.bsky.social and @rothiotome.bsky.social, and it's well worth the wait - a gorgeous little game. My review here:

Behind the scenes on set-up day at @bitsummit.bsky.social. Got the big rain out of the way today so hopefully the weekend is smooth sailing. I am busily compiling my afterparty playlist for tomorrow night. #BitSummit

If you are curious about some of the games over at BitSummit this year but can’t make it, you’ll be happy to know the Steam page for BitSummit PUNCH! is up! Get browsing!

Kirby fan here If you like the lil shooter parts, try Sektori. #sektori

All this BitSummit talk has me going through my Kyoto 2025 pics and…man

Hey you should check out Retail Hell - it’s cool

I just hit a segment in Titanium Court that’s blowing my mind

You should personally help to get it to 50,000, yes, you, reading this right now, whoever you are. Buy Titanium Court, let it do what it's doing. It's super neat

Man…I booked a flight back to the Bay Area at 1pm so I could take my daughter to her band performance…then it got delayed until 4. Well at least I can still go, if not take her. Now it’s delayed until 6pm so I’m missing it entirely. I don’t want to miss any of these moments 😭

At Rock & Brew at LAX’s Terminal 1 and I think it would be a better experience if instead of White Snake or whatever this music is they instead played the soundtrack to Mario on game boy

This is exactly right - making taxes the enemy of the working class only serves to eliminate taxes (and the services they support). Taxes are crucial and the answer isn’t chipping away at them further, it’s making people like Bezos pay up
