Jared Kushner, the PIF and $20 billion of debt being dropped on the balance sheet. This one feels mega grim.

We used to be a country

I'm incredibly ecstatic that we reached $100,000 for the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle. With just 2 days left to go, please RT and support the bundle, and let's push it as high as we can go!!! Thank you for the support!! Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

You have got to be fucking kidding me

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for having me on @the41stprecinct.bsky.social.

Equally excited and TERRIFIED to finally do this. Games journalism is in a rough state, so we've decided to get involved to highlight games that we think pave a positive future for the industry. And we named the outlet the best/dumbest thing possible. welcome to noclip_2

Hot damn, Suzerain for a fiver is an incredible purchase. I'm not sure I've played many true political simulators that have really sunk their teeth into me, but this is definitely one of them. Also, just a fantastic game for people who enjoy looking at beautiful maps.

This is genuinely what a Labour government thinks terrorism looks like in the UK right now and I'm losing my god damn mind

Ah damn, not Firaxis :(

congrats to Araraura, the proprietor of Daily Silksong News, who after an unbroken streak of 1,693 daily updates, most of which consisted of "there is no news today", can finally rest (aka, play Silksong) www.ign.com/articles/aft...

Steam and Nintendo eShop both down lmaooooooo

Patreon has just rolled out a new update designed to make creator pages less hellish to navigate. We've used this to have a bit of a tidy up, but most importantly of all, to properly showcase the companion videos we've made for our documentaries over the years. www.patreon.com/posts/138115...

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Just received an invoice for the legal fees on our latest Disco Elysium documentary...

"It all feels like such a colossal waste" Excellent reportage from @chrisbratt.bsky.social and PMG. Especially appreciate the transparency and integrity of the opening segment looking back at the original doc and all the complexities of reporting on such a tangled story. youtu.be/lZEAs6M1wts

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out. IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Okay, big breath... After more than two years since we published our last documentary on the topic, it's time we returned to Disco Elysium: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZEA...

Much more than a tiny bit! I just checked my emails and I first contacted Stephen about him helping us out almost a year ago. What a JOY it’s been to work with an editor again, oh my word. Lifesaver.

The first documentary is what turned me into a fan of PMG so needless to say Im very pumped to sit down and watch this

These aren’t paying members (yet!), but Labour’s last membership count was 300K with one member leaving every 10 minutes back in Feb… I’m enjoying feeling hopeful this morning!

I've looked & I could have missed it, maybe its saved in their drafts but @ukieofficial.bsky.social TIGA, BFI, that new video game council. Which UK body representing games is stepping up to publicly speak about the mass censorship of the cultural form they represent? www.polygon.com/news/615910/...

It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.

Chloe Kelly’s goal celebration face is the exact look my sister used to give me behind our mum’s back when I was being told off

What a delight it's been to see Mark go from strength to strength with his game dev. I can't believe how good this looks. Well done GMTK!!

Just 11 hours left to submit your games, game assets, tools, tilesets, soundtracks, music packs, zines, artbooks, short fiction, comics, whatever you got(!) to the Play for Palestine charity drive. Funds go directly to the UNRWA in support of direct humanitarian aid in Palestine! Info below. 🇵🇸🍉🎮

I NEED YOUR HELP. We're down to the last 30+ hours of the games submission for the Play for Palestine charity drive and we are at 258 submissions. I'm hoping we can hit 300 by the close 🇵🇸 Link: itch.io/jam/games-fo... BIG THREAD BELOW 🧵/

This is such a wonderful idea! If you’re a game dev and want to contribute something, there’s still a few days left to do so 🇵🇸

Let’s. Fucking. Go.

language like this is so insulting, imo. is it a compulsory thing for CEOs to need to brag while laying people off?

Some figures to keep in mind today as Xbox makes these layoffs

BREAKING: Mass layoffs at Xbox have started. Candy Crush maker King told employees that it is cutting 10% of staff, or 200 jobs. Bethesda's Europe offices were hit too. U.S. offices are expected to inform people this morning. More to come shortly www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

👑

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

The Freedom Flotilla is moments away from being intercepted by the Israeli military and I’ve barely seen any coverage from the UK press. Al Jazeera is providing live updates here: www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/liv...
