I am still optimistic and have a lot of respect for the people at Retro Studios but I really want someone to explain why they thought this would be a good fit for a Metroid game.

“You’re a kid now. You’re a squid now” vibes from this… interesting choice.

New emails just dropped! In case you are wondering why Epstein (who didnt kill himself) is back in the news, i made a graphic.

Have any of you tried the speech to text feature in Overwatch 2? I cannot get it to work at all. We tried a few different things and it doesn't seem to work.

I don't know where this has come from but no, I didn't say anything about Crash Bandicoot game not being in development. Whoever said that didn't really listen to what I was saying.

“Drawing all that sexy art of video game men might affect your professional art career” well well well

Got an unopened PAL Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundle for sale if anyone's interested. Ended up with a spare one somehow.

This is just kind of funny and bewildering to look back on now.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

nightmare blunt rotation

My NHS employer has just confirmed redundancies are coming. For the second time in my 16 year NHS career tens of thousands of NHS staff, many with decades of experience will be thrown on the scrap heap. Many worked on the frontline (including me) in the pandemic. This is Streeting's reward for us.

At some point, whether they want to or not, The Game Awards is going to have to reckon with the role it's played in the rampant corporitization of video games - and everything that's led to. And crucially, how the show and people behind it have failed to step up when it mattered.

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

I still think it's really cool how we were practically the only aus outlet that didn't cover Hogwarts Legacy. Even the one that uses the trans flag colours in their logo did, extensively. It's cool seeing all the snark and journalism ethics call outs today but I remember your silence 2y ago lol

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

This is the future leftists want

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

I finally went and visited the #Nintendo pop-up store in London. I didn’t get much (because I’m not a millionaire), but I did get a couple of bits…

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

I would bet money that this is AI related cost cutting. I have heard some not very reassuring things from people who work there this year.

Let’s fucking go

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Alpha Pokemon were such a great addition to the Legends games, I find tracking them down more exciting than Shiny hunting Big Monster That Could Kill You vs. It’s Green

17c and sunny on the 5th of November in Northern England. We are so cooked.

Honestly I was just surprised to see people bring up canon so much in general. I think Zelda games work best when they emulate the fuzzy, freeform continuity of myths and legends — the exact details don’t matter as much as the big beats and character moments to me

If you’re in line to piss on Dick Cheney’s corpse, stay in line!!

I am actually really pumped for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. I eat up these Nintendo musou games. Some of them are really good. The fact that this is actually 'canon' is intriguing as well even though I'll never understand why it irked people so much previously that it wasn't.

New Yorkers...

"We have a great product that really works. Now to find a spokesman and aesthetic that's synonymous with 'feeling and being chill.'"

Very important factor to this

Shout out to the Fortnite leaks server for not being evil about this like I suspect many other leakers and people who believe the game can do no wrong will be

My son was basically a celebrity trick or treating tonight. He was on cloud 9 from all the attention. Worth the effort!

Megan thee stallion as Drolta!!!

This is random but can anyone explain to me why the music in the Animal Crossing hotel is The Third Man theme? Is that just in the public domain or something? It's a theme from an old gangster/noir film that seems to pop up everywhere. I felt like I was going mad hearing that.

idea for how nintendo can improve the animal crossing lego collab

Hang this in the Louvre

How many times are publishers going to have to say this before people believe them? I hear about this all the time and when I bring it up, people tell me it's not true because Phil Spencer says otherwise.

Short form video is killing gaming and the fastest selling console in US history just launched and layoffs are the only answer and multiple franchises are seeing record setting launches and we need to expand use of AI to make more games faster and we've had huge increases in release count each year.

He deleted it but hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly shit
