fuck…Yamcha is mentioned in the Epstein files

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content. AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

Now we’re cookin

roses are red big laughs are hearty

eyyy lmao dick cheney fucking died

Even a decade after its release, SOMA's psychological thrills continue to resonate. The latest from @forthekids.space : punishedbacklog.com/revisiting-s...

Does @futurlab.co.uk's @powerwashsimulator.co.uk 2 do enough to justify the "2" at the end of the title? Find out in our review: punishedbacklog.com/powerwash-si... #gamereview #review #videogames

All my life I was told I was Jewish, I was stopped by Hasids on the streets asking me to wrap Tefillin, I was invited to Jewish holidays from strangers, etc. The ONLY time I’ve been told I’m NOT a real Jew is when I criticize Israel. Go fuck yourself Alex

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

This is the closest to a real life hero we're gonna get.

New way to tell someone off just dropped

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Don't...

very depressing on multiple levels to think about how much of this showcase is microsoft owned

Silksong being imminent means we are just moments away from "Hollow Knight was overrated" discourse. I can taste it.

Time Flies is a perfect 2-3 hour morsel of a game. Do yourself a favor and free up an evening to play it! store.steampowered.com/app/2000120/...

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of this year's biggest games. Nearly a month after its release, how do our writers feel about it? Check out our thoughts in the latest edition of Punished Chat: punishedbacklog.com/donkey-kong-...

JK Rowling fucking sucks at her very core.

I kept mentioning bananas in a voice call and someone assumed I was really into minions until I clarified I was playing DK Bananza

I'm sorry, but this may be the funniest Facebook AI slop I have ever seen. Bury me sideways in my coffin, brother. Let my dog see

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society. That's it. That's the post.

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

It’s May 4th! This is your friendly reminder that The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars movies ever.

At a dark time for this industry, it's important to remember why we play games in the first place: to face setbacks, find new opportunities, and always hit continue. To honor game devs and journalists alike, we're proud to share our top 50 #videogames ever: punishedbacklog.com/best-video-g...

A short thread about some of the good Giant Bomb has brought to the world. Back in 2012, Drew and Alexis decided to play Halo for 24 hours to raise money for a charity I had never heard of. So began years of drumming, Windjammers, and of course, more Halo, for Extra Life.

Long live Giant Bomb. Long live Polygon. Hearts out to everyone affected by vulture media jags who never knew what good things they had.

What do people mean when they say a game "gets good" after 20 hours? In his latest Punished Notes, @sam-martinelli.bsky.social answers this question and more: punishedbacklog.com/punished-not...

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

Strom Thurmond and Elon both taking an L on the same day is a hell of a white supremacy bankshot

Druckmann has been saying this since the game came out. He explicitly believes that Joel is A Hero. This is among the reasons I do not like The Last of Us franchise.

Happy Birthday, Hallie. You should be turning 4 today. Let’s raise money in Hallie’s honor. Since she was born on 3-28, maybe Patriots fans could donate $28.03 to our LLS fundraiser. princesshallieforever.com
