We made a pretty good coming of age story game but most players won’t even give it a chance because it’s got too much color. We’re not all that different in love, relationships, and generational issues. I promise you can relate to these characters. store.steampowered.com/app/1617220/...

two things can be true... 1. yes 2. And also there is a scrutiny and surveillance of Black women (because that's what we are talking about in the WNBA Black women) that is not given to any other group of people www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I used to be a WaPo Opinions video editor, and if a video didn't have 100 views within the first five minutes of publishing on Youtube, I would've considered it an embarrassing failure. Fortunately didn't happen much!

come on now, who do you take me for?

Man Directs Full Force Of Anecdote Toward Single Person After Rest Of Group Moves On To Different Topic https://theonion.com/man-directs-full-force-of-anecdote-toward-single-person-1826391190/

hi it’s mother’s day and i want attention i’m izzy, a trans mom who hasn’t had fulltime employment in games since i got laid off 2 1/2 years ago (just before my little friend was born) i’m funny and cool and everyone loves working with me. here’s a thread of cool and/or funny stuff i’ve worked on

"There is a big difference between giving credit, taking credit and demanding gratitude..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Just want to echo this. In my experience, people whose interests go beyond games—who also love film and/or books and/or music etc.—are almost always better writers and better critics than those who are “passionate” about games to the exclusion of everything else. They just have more to bring to it.

I think this is true for all creatives but I especially try to give this advice to folks who want to go into games media, because we're already swamped with folks whose literal only interest in life is video games and all their writing sounds the same.

This is about a 32-year-old man who earns $200K a year and is now CONSIDERING moving out of the Bushwick co-housing space he shares with 17 roommates. I have so many questions. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Happy mothers day to the girls, gays and theys that had to be their own mothers 💖✨

lol took a shot in the dark on the first image of today’s framed and it was right (only saw this movie once, when it came out)

on youtube if i see a video with an AI thumbnail i click "don't recommend channel." PSN and the Switch eShop should add a similar function so that whenever i see a game with AI promo art i can just click "don't show games by this developer."

the refusal to engage critically with a work unless the artist can be clearly identified as An Enemy is also why so many shitty people slip under the radar, "they made something I love! they must be safe!"

I've never seen somebody actually say it this clear, but this tendency is everywhere and absolutely poison – "It can't be that I don't like something aesthetically, it must be morally evil. Any art I don't like must be made by bad people; any art I DO like must be made by good people."

Rough couple of weeks. You deserve a few small beers. Happy Friday to you guys.

put on a normie sports podcast for the first time in a while and the first three ads were for, in order: - chewing tobacco - an old tanning bed company now rebranded as offering "full spectrum wellness" (tanning) - a company offering AI solutions for crypto investing country is cooked

Hate to see Fox and the crew condone keeping yourself awake and alert on a long combat mission by just chugging energy drinks, that can't be safe!

What say you, Lieutenant Commander Worf?

This was such a nice write up, thank you @zackzwiezen.com kotaku.com/blindfire-fr...

This is exactly right.

This gives me an idea! Gonna start putting wildly unbalanced combat encounters in my own D&D campaigns but let players bring their characters back to life and continue the fight by Venmoing me five bucks. (No but seriously this game owns.)

Kicking off her new Nintendo-focused column, Rebekah Valentine says the oft-maligned Zelda 2 deserves better, looking back at how the series' identity came into focus in the past and pondering what might define it in the future.

It is time, once again, for TOP RANKIN' with a fresh collection of NES games, ready to rank! Only 24 games remain unranked! Will we see a new top game? twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

in a better world getting caught doing something like this would be an automatic firing & permanent blacklist offense

Now that it has been directed at me, I denounce the MAGA racism that rewarded and amplified me back when I claimed it didn't exist.

INCORRECT!

Give me your favorite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. I enjoy Nimoy's turn as an egomaniacal surgeon and murderer in one episode of Columbo, one of the few killers who really gets under Columbo's skin. youtu.be/rBh9P_SbkL8?...

The generous reading of PlayStation's CEO's comments on AI is that the technology will solve gaming's high budget graphics race. The more cynical reading is a future where AI is both the cause of slop and the only way to effectively navigate it.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

A lot of folks are naming their favorite non-Trek performance of a Trek actor as Patrick Stewart in X-MEN or GREEN ROOM and to that I humbly offer you check him out his insanely great scene stealing role in the incredibly queer and game changing JEFFREY.

Terrible episode but lovely final image.

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.
