Not exactly LTTP since it’s still in the midst of its first season, but Widow’s Bay is pretty delightful so far. Comedy in horror can veer so deeply into silliness that you lose any sense of stakes, but it’s balanced really well here. I laugh a lot but desperately want everyone to be OK in the end 🙂

Sorry new God of War game but I can't help laughing at a dude who seems unaware that his own head is on fire (I blame @pftompkins.bsky.social )

I saw Backrooms last night and Exit 8 a couple months ago -- nice to see some solid, thoughtful videogame-y horror flicks coming out alongside the splashy, big-budget adaptations www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/ba...

9 walks, 8 hits, 17 runners stranded, all for just 2 runs — that’s how badly you have to play for the Mets to scrape out a win

Survival RPG Outward really roughed you up but that's one of the reasons it was so good. I'm happy to see Outward 2 hasn't softened.

You know what's dumb? When it rains over the ocean. Like what are you even doing, it's already all wet and watery

"A lot can trigger a craving: seeing someone smoking in my neighborhood, smelling smoke from a nearby cigarette, seeing someone on TV or in a movie smoking, seeing a crushed cigarette butt on the street, having coffee, having a drink, social situations, eating, breathing, being conscious, etc."

So if someone steals your clothing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it's because I lost my boots in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and made a big stink about it 👢👢 www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/if...

as omens go, how's this: was walking and a dead mouse plummeted from the sky directly in front of me, almost hitting me in the head, and when I looked up a crow was circling, having just dropped it. that's good right? that's good luck and not ill portents right? gotta be good stuff right

as a Half-Life 1 veteran I associate this spot in Black Mesa where I have to leave followers behind, but the Half-Life: Lemmings mods (for HL: Source) means they can jump gaps and climb ladders, and it's pretty rad

Me 15 times whenever I watch Heat: “Wayne Grow? Is this guy’s name Wayne Grow?” Me 3 hours later when the credits roll: “Oh.”

Had a hard time finding a day to publish my diary about running a gun store called "Gun Store" in this gun store sim, due to all the gun violence headlines in the US on a daily basis. So I finally pubbed it Saturday morning hoping maybe no notable gun violence would happen Saturday night 👍

but I was gonna play that tonight

After almost 15 years of covering GDC as a journalist, I was on a panel for the first time! Waow. And now you can watch it on the internet. I talked about game preservation that would likely never happen without the mad dedication of the emulation community -- and, uh, @quest64official.bsky.social

delivered! driver left package in dark hole with water

A comedy skit I am always on board with is when someone's future self comes to the past to warn them about something and they wind up bickering about dumb shit. It's been done lots of times and I'm always up for it. It's evergreen

Can't stop staring at this ridiculous four-leaf clover hidden object game made by a guy who actually likes looking for real four leaf clovers.

there are still good people out there 💙💜♥️

I don't like that the context makes Pac-Man appear nude. I've never really thought of him as nude, but he's nude here. Expression is relatable, though. Seems like he just remembered something embarrassing he did 10 years ago.

could the Artemis 2 feed please stop going BSOD, it makes me worry every time

I can't recall the context for this screengrab from the 1982 Pac-Man cartoon, so I don't remember why Pac-Man is in bed wearing gloves and a hat (yet with bare feet) and has an expression of shock, next to a sleeping Ms. Pac-Man. Would love to hear your theories

Not sure which is worse, the hubris of thinking I could become a pro bowler without actually knowing how to bowl, or my insistence on dancing after every single strike www.pcgamer.com/games/sports...

Nvidia’s stock plunges as its mechanical abomination publicly dies

there's at least someone who would be more than happy to spend all the money in the Zoo Life Simulator for chickens

This week's job sim: Zoo Life Simulator, where you can put a single goose in a pen and visitors will absolutely lose their shit with excitement over it

1) One Outs 2) The Owlbears (my Super Mega Baseball team) 3) Ace of Diamond 4) Shohei Ohtani highlights 5) The Mets

Since AI is going to take my job I'm searching for a new one by playing as many job simulators as I can get my hands on. First up: Would I make a good park ranger? Or do I just like throwing people out of national parks for not following the rules? www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/iv...

“It was like an out of body experience, except I couldn't stop thinking about another ‘me’ out there giving people bad advice and making a company a bunch of money.”

me trying to be cool when people are discussing music but can't remember if it's King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard or King Lizard and the Gizzard Wizard or King Wizard and the Lizard Gizzard so I say nothing for 2.5 hours

starting to suspect I'm not goated with the sauce

Guess I should be honored that I'm being impersonated by an actual human scumbag and not an AI scumbag

More Popes than I would have guessed have been honorary Harlem Globetrotters

Science when I was a kid: "If you miss this eclipse there won't be another one for 43 years" Science now: "Here's how to watch the 7 different eclipses happening in March"

Just a note: someone has been impersonating me (me, of all people!) on Discord, Twitter, and even gmail. I am not on Twitter/X at all. Any account there saying it's me is fake. My work email & Discord are in my bsky profile. Any others are fake. If you see anyone saying they're me anywhere, lmk plz

Still shocking decades later how unbelievably shitty this Legend of Zelda ad was and yet it is 100% the reason I bought the game youtu.be/E-qBkWerZDg?...

Just idly remembering that leaked email where Phil Spencer outlined 2 years of Microsoft Strategy using the subject line “Games”

This is true www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

comic I made after a discussion in slack about a GTA-like game that features the pale, bleak children from Playdead's Inside

Random memory today of seeing The Outsiders movie at the theater, and the first time the word "Socs" is pronounced pretty much everyone in the theater turned to each other and said "Ohhhh... so-shez!" We had all presumably been saying "Socks" in our heads lol

I am absolutely not kidding

I fucked up some gnomes www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Narrator: It wasn't

NBC to olympic skiiers: “So yeah we’re gonna have these loudly shrieking drones following you while you’re trying to concentrate on the most imporant moment of your lives and maybe use two seconds of the footage in our broadcast, cool?”

I only hope the real game is as exciting as the one I simulated. www.pcgamer.com/games/sports...

I bet this gets Robert Zemeckis’s dick so hard
