women don't like the vehicle

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

Probably best to chase it indefinitely

it's dangerous to go alone, take this

Why do we call it gaming addiction and not consoling ourselves

Big bugs meet bigger guns. Sometimes there's no deeper story than that.

I note some opposition to this proposition, ie "But surely [author] holds up better than every other!" and "there is no perceptible variation in literary opinion based on disparate life experiences," and in both cases: oh, honey. Okay.

It is truly weird to live in a time where "Companies should make a profit based on the difference between what people are willing to pay for their product and the cost of the time and resources needed to make it" feels like radical socialist thinking.

Finished Cyberpunk 2077 over the weekend. All I'll say is that it's a game where CDPR understood the assignment, and made something that does the genre proud, for all its occasional missteps. Also, it's a decent enough length that I can conceivably see myself replaying it sometime, unlike Witcher 3.

remember this for every AI headline you read but also keep this one in mind, too

This is a typical day at the office when you are a graphics programmer. 'Spammy polys' that need debugging to see what the heck has gone wrong with the shaders! Usually easy to track down if you have a decent GFX debugger / capture system.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

One of my favourite consoles, the Hudson Soft / NEC PC-Engine! Known as the TurboGrafx-16 in North America where, for some reason, it was re-housed in a large, ugly dark coloured case! Games were sold on slim HuCard cartridges and also CD-ROM, if you purchased the external drive. R-Type was amazing!

“Maybe we don’t need to crush orphans” you FOOL. You absolute LUDDITE. Don’t you know the Orphan Crusher is here to stay?

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

WAIT WHAT'S THIS? 💿There is a demo live for EARTH MUST DIE! 🕹️This gives you (most of) the tutorial section for the game! Have fun, and if you haven't wishlisted the full game yet DO THAT NOW PLEASE it really really helps us out. Enjoy! store.steampowered.com/app/4057540/...

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

I've lost count of how many times I've had to say 'Cool it, you're meltin my bongos'

Good morning!

Very astute, Disney. However do you do it.

My theological status is best described as "lazy agnostic," which is to say I am fairly certain that there is no god, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find out one way or another. If you're religious, cool, please don't use your religion as an excuse to be an asshole to other folks, thanks.

Such shiny, very chrome, maximum ray tracing.

Still makes me laugh.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

Workaholism is a helluva drug. This millennial is trying his best to reconstruct his non-work life after falling for this exact thing, thank you very much.

as one of those millennials, I've now likely permanently damaged my ability to deal with stress after having to go to rehab due to burnout, barely noticing my own mental health issues, and being full of regrets not being there during my grandparents last few days alive, bc I was "busy with work"

lol

Only tech dudes would reframe the relentless management exploitation of their time and talent as a feature, not a bug. They're self-exploiting, and then they'll be tossed aside when their value is depleted. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/b...

She is complete ❤️ making a ceramic bell was first thing that came to mind when seeing Hornet's Drifter's Cloak in action~

healthy self criticism is perhaps the most important skill to develop as an adult. being able to recognize your own strengths & weaknesses and accepting them humbly. it's amazing how little other people's opinions matter once you've decided to critique yourself openly and honestly.

I was today years old when I realised that Prodigy sampled Michael Jackson's Thriller in "The Way It Is" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rt2...

With the existence of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats", I wonder whether we'll ever see another, different adaptation of "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats"... Give me "The Aweful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles"! [sic] Give me "Growltiger's Last Stand", you cowards! (cont.)

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject
