Streaming some more Metroid Prime 4 - Not sure that it's captured the classic Prime feel just yet, but here's hoping it gets there 👀 twitch.tv/Scotch240

retelling a story here, but a beer in 2001 when I was a broke student making AUD$20 an hour in childcare was AUD$2.20. Same beer now is AUD$12, but childcare workers are not making AUD$120 an hour to compensate (they make AUD$35ish)

Lot has been discussed about Mario Tennis Fever’s core tennis (good) and the adventure mode (bad), but my big takeaway so far is that unlockables fucking rule and games need to return to them.

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

Finally starting Metroid Prime 4 on stream! Right now! The whole point of playing the early ones was to get to the new one, and now we're here! Come hang out, maybe I'll try the mouse controls twitch.tv/Scotch240

Streaming live now with (what I expect to be) the final stretch of Metroid Prime 3. Let's beat Dark Samus again again! twitch.tv/Scotch240

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Streaming some more Metroid Prime 3, come watch me fail with the motion controls Also I made a new chatting screen background, right now we're watching a game of Blitzball 👀 twitch.tv/Scotch240

"We've finally created The One Ring, from the beloved fantasy trilogy Don't Create The One Ring, In Fact Throw It Into A Volcano Instead"

"I know some of you think you’re not qualified, or that you’re waiting for someone to tell you how to do this right. But let me tell you that the person who is going to do that is you. You’re on this call, you have five neighbors right now who are waiting for you to talk to them and get organized."

A little burst of optimism on your feed, more than a quarter of a million raised for VEAP! The Twin Cities largest food pantry who is ensuring people affected by ICE (like those unable to go outside their homes for fear of being racially profiled during the occupation) are receiving emergency food!

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

As scary as the arrest of Lemon is, what’s depressed me most today is the way so many media reports (and reporters) have covered this in such a matter of fact way. Multiple judges said there was no basis to do this —and yet they did it anyway. Chris’s post gets it right in 8 words

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

I was absolutely enveloped by Cairn last week. It's an incredibly profound experience that is an exercise in exploring stubbornness and being headstrong—both how that's a valuable trait and a significant character flaw. I also think it's an early contender for GOTY and performance of the year?

Today we're asking you for your help in raising money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Donate to have your message read on our shows. Let's protect our neighbors and communities from ICE. kindafunny.com/donate

sharing this around for anyone who didn't know/missed it years ago www.gamesindustry.biz/interplay-si...

A friend reached out to me to ask if I could help bring attention to the plight of queer and trans refugees in South Sudan and her gofundme for her and her friends whose need for #mutualaid is incredibly urgent. Please share this post and donate to the campaign. Sophie & her friends need your help.

I didn't like a recent-ish JRPG and I got called every level of racist from actual racists for weeks. The studio shut down the weekend after the game came out and people blamed me for that, too.

Probably the biggest problem with being a game critic is you never hear what other people think of you

the fallacy that negative cynicism is an innately more "intellectual" critical stance blinds us from the fact that this, too, is shilling

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The success of Baldur’s Gate 3 partially lays in the hands of critics, reviewers, content creators, and other folks who created the world’s most friendly cultural on-ramp for a vast public to engage with a fiddly, weird, mechanically hostile game. Have a little humility.

I do think closing the Game Awards and not having a marketing rollout was not a good look. But like, maybe we care too much about The Game Awards? Maybe that's more on Geoff than the team trying to launch a new thing they've worked years on? The discourse on this one made me feel bad man lol

Freelancing in games media is more profitable than OpenAI.

taking the time today to stream, my little corner of me time this weekend - playing more Metroid Prime 3, come hang out and chill <3 twitch.tv/Scotch240

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

Melissa Joan Hart is a legit card carrying conservative republican we are through the looking glass.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Another thing I learned in the town hall is that the events in Minneapolis are being well-documented because of the thousands of people who trained to become legal observers after the murder of George Floyd

☺️ DLC expansions that comes out years later, letting me experience the game again from scratch 😒 DLC expansions that comes out years later, making me experience the game again from scratch

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Probably shouldn’t have watched that.

The coffee shop is packed with people. It’s giving out coupons to anyone who donates plasma in the blood center truck outside. A pair of neighbors wait for coffee and fill each other in on the latest ICE killing. A man has to excuse himself to quietly cry in the corner. A Saturday in Minneapolis.

Streaming more Metroid Prime 3 - Got through the Prologue last week, let's sink our teeth in... like a metroid... twitch.tv/Scotch240

This dude is intense and correct

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

“I need things online to react to” no you don’t, read a book

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Streaming the final key hunt in Metroid Prime 2, hopefully finishing today! Come hang out and survive the heat with me www.twitch.tv/scotch240
