Starting my Dispatch journey tonight in two hours… see you there!! Twitch.tv/madexposure

It sounds like the Steam Machine is about as powerful as my PC with an RTX 2070 Super, which is an upper-mid-range card from a few generations ago that's currently pretty cheap. Interested to see the price as that might be a line between folks purchasing vs. building your own mini PC w/ Steam OS

The nominees and presenters for the 2025 Indie Game Awards will be revealed tomorrow at 10 AM ET 🏆 🔗 www.indiegameawards.gg

Sometimes, a pee break feels good in a place like this.

Knowing my work resonates with people like Malindy and Future Class alumni means so much to me. Too many people in this industry stay quiet and stay comfortable. My life has not been comfortable over the last ~2 years, but it’s been full because I stand on business and stand up for great people.

Maybe the year is too stacked and it just wasn't good enough, but it's still insane that Borderlands 4 just came and went. Hell, I've heard more about the critically-panned movie.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

… it's fine I still haven't figured out a way to condense my non-score movie rating system, but "I liked it, I recommend waiting for it on Netflix, I probably won't watch it again." THAT SAID, people were popping off fairly often in the audience, so maybe it's worth watching in theaters, ymmv

I was invited to an early Now You See Me: Now You Don't: Oop, Right Behind You To prep, I started rewatching NYSM2 and that movie fucks! I'm hoping 3 is really good because if not I kinda want to go back home and finish 2 😅

I hate having to do this but I’m desperate. I’ve been looking everyday for work but nothing is biting. I’m down $80 and I can’t afford my very needed meds and I definitely can’t afford my home when the first comes next month. I’m drowning in medical debt. Anything helps.

If you have Youtube TV, grab your $20 credit

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

I pop onto X occasionally because I have (a lot of) friends who haven't moved over here yet. And I get it, despite everything, X still has that je ne sais quoi that Bluesky hasn't quite figured out yet. But the price is seeing my friends' best posts surrounded by the most deranged shit. It's rough.

The Mamdani political sign generator is kinda fun https://homes.luddy.indiana.edu/ccshan/for/for.html

Damn. I had high expectations for Predator Badlands but holy shit. What a fucking ride. Dan Trachtenberg is undefeated.

I've only played three games this year: Blue Prince, Expedition 33, and The Alters. Not completed, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱. If you can recommend one must-play game released in 2025, only one*, what would you recommend? *(if the game is Dispatch, you can recommend two games haha. It's top of my list!)

Alyssa is wrong. I think $1100 is a fair price to see which developer walks on stage with a MAGA-themed gaming hat

I need everyone to start calling games like vampire survivors this. It's perfect

"Keep going. We need you out here." @therianamp.bsky.social 😭

I'm so proud of my hometown NYC 💜 Got a little nervous since, over the last 35 fucking years, we historically voted for Giuliani, Bloomberg, de Blasio, and Adams. Glad we can finally break the trend

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Jesus Hector Christ, I can't believe people just have this view from their apartment windows

What's the over/under on convincing the JW bartenders to put the Game Awards on one of the sports bar TVs?

This can’t be a baseball game, it’s actually interesting

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

Two of my producer friends were laid off from Amazon Games. A small percentage of what is likely hundreds of other folks in their gaming division. I'm just so tired of what is seemingly now a constant part of our industry.

The longest thread I've ever seen on Bluesky, but I couldn't stop reading. Almost reads like a screenplay for a court drama

saving this for later

this is extraordinarily cool

One thing I learn more and more every single day? ✨Women✨ are truly a gift to this damn world.

Last month, I lived in a hacker/incubator tech house and they all were people using AI to code the ideas they had. They spent hours, sometimes days, trying to fix the many lines of code that were generated. Constantly banged their head against a wall because they themselves didn't know how to code.

Ugh, even though my hatred for Microsoft grows more each day, I have to admit "Halo: Campaign Evolved" is a banger name for a remake.

And so it begins.

my last two brain cells trying to keep it all together

For the 4th year, and 2nd on Bluesky, it's time once again for... 🎃THE TRICK OR TREAT GAME CODE GIVEAWAY!🎃 All October, I (and @vgutv.bsky.social!) will be giving away Steam game codes in the replies to this skeet. Some will be tricks, some will be treats! Watch the video below to see how to win!

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

ooh well done

Happy weekend now is the perfect time to check out the DropShot demo

Friendly reminder that you can uninstall Copilot like any other app, honestly easier than you'd expect from MS! I don't know if it'll affect Copilot taking over the taskbar search, but it might 🤞🏾

The only thing worse than a black man getting double teamed by 2 white women for not being woke enough is them being correct about it.

I hate that McDonalds finds a way to put Monopoly pieces in my wallet every decade of my life.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Saw an American flag bumper sticker with a thin blue line, a thin red line, and a thin green line simultaneously. We're halfway to accidentally having a thin line pride flag and it's amazing
