Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.

Took the T to my game store today and I swear to god I never want to drive again.

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

I wasn’t blown away by One Battle After Another but I’m so in love with its tone? I thought it would be a really cynical film but at the heart of it are a cast of characters caring for each other while monstrous events unfold. New high water mark for the “violent dad has kid” trope for sure.

My present to myself for finishing the latest round of Zephon DLC (out soon!!!)

"Sorry, there's just no money for new projects" "we have to lay off hundreds of people to cut costs" "that show/game/studio has been canceled and closed due to lack of profits"

This one hurts. So many great people out of work and this propagandist shill gets one of the most powerful jobs in the field.

I have a theory I keep meaning to put to words that we’re stuck in an era of greed and self interest and without leaning too hard on “great man” theory, it’s because the world’s most powerful person is a preacher of selfishness and hate. And somehow this waffle post feels like supporting data.

What weirds me out is the “short” they released featuring this actress…barely features her? It’s a “sketch” about making a show and casting her. All she does is pose, a bunch of other uncanny AI characters do most of the dialogue.

This is fantastic. “I think that many of us have also gotten stuck imagining that we’re also pundits and politicians and somehow responsible for figuring the whole crisis out and having opinions on each new outrage and who should do what.”

All that cozying up to the far right gets you nowhere.

Took Jyn and Leia out for a spin last night and finished 3-0 in an FLGS league! This squad includes minis I painted really early on—it’s nice to see how I’ve progressed on the table! Also helps me feel less bad about weaker old paint jobs because I can see their strengths too.

bringing this one back lmao

I'm still accepting testimonials from folks canceling Game Pass or trading in their Xbox over the BDS Boycott: [email protected] ethangach on Discord DMs open

But...this game...was a huge success?

1. Really curious how Luna does. The games they release each month are absurd and you can keep a lot of them! 2. This price hike feels pegged to how big the Fortnite audience is on Xbox. I can't see another way to justify $30/mo, even for more day one releases.

If Xbox were the only game in town or had a bigger market share this would go down easier but Sony and Nintendo have zero reason to follow them. Meanwhile Steam's Autumn sale has games you can find on Game Pass for dirt cheap. Epic gives away free games. Amazon's Prime Luna service is decent.

gods, is there anything better in life than moving units across a grid in a turn based manner

psssst bros swap in "star wars: shatterpoint" for warhammer and you'll have a great time do it

Man, the industry's in some real fucking trouble when Saudi Arabia decides to divest from gaming one day.

The remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics is out! We all know it has a fantastic story—and so do many other strategy games. Why is that? According to director Kazutoyo Maehiro, it has to do with the number of characters players control.

The only thing from 2002 I’m nostalgic for is playing with Star Wars toys with my friends wait I still do that they’re just smaller and I have to paint them myself anyway I tricked you into looking at my Jyn Erso mini who has the best face I’ve painted yet.

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

…they’re obsessing over going to *Wal-Mart* in 2002???

If you’re lamenting the EA sale cause of what it means for BioWare games, try out this RPG from some BioWare veterans! Punches WAY above its weight and has fantastic combat/traversal.

This @superjoost.bsky.social analysis is good.

It's truly insane that it's legal to go "I'm going to spend $50 billion dollars to buy this company. Do I have $50 billion dollars? No, the company I'm buying is going to take out a big loan"

Wait was EA’s big GenAI push a bid to convince potential buyers that it could lower operating costs after a purchase to help pay for debts?? They have like four whole game studios making the Battlefield series, you can’t run a CoD-competing juggernaut with automation. www.ft.com/content/be98...

1. Did he forget to say the magical “national emergency” line? 2. Again, this is technically *almost every movie!!!*

If you work at EA and want to talk privately about your feelings about the sale to Saudi Arabia you can reach me anonymously at [email protected] or via Signal/WhatsApp at +12673263042.

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Imagine being the Epic Hames animator who worked on this!!! 🫠🫠🫠

Stitching AND Bitching? In this economy?

Late to the party but this video is excellent. A bit dread-inducing, but excellent.

Dunno if the new ROG Xbox Ally is worth $600/$1,000, but I do know that I've used the Steam Deck OLED ($550/$650) nearly every day for the last two years and it runs almost everything I want to play perfectly
