The administration that’s all about cutting wasteful government spending is about to put horrify maybe the most wasteful budget hike in the last decade. And all to terrorize and put people in prison camps

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

The future of the party is closer to Mamdani than Jeffries but he doesn't know it yet.

Data caps for internet service are such a bullshit thing that straight up only exists to suck money out of people.

After my Tactics interview, I finally bought something I’ve almost bought like five times. Just a little treat.

I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...

Just found out my sister-in-law uses Waze with the Minion’s voice as navigation. And I’m literally never riding in a car with her.

I’ve bought four new pieces of jewelry at the Renaissance Festival 🥲

Man I’m really bummed out by Front Mission 3 being AI slopped to hell. Just the worst possible thing that could have happened to a seminal strategy game. Cannot overstate how much you should not buy that game.

Its Renaissance Festival day

The Trans Lifeline stream starts today! There’s a ton of great stuff planned today and tomorrow - with a ton of great people

Today is the day! So many hours, so many guests, so many giveaways. Let's have some fun, raise some funds, and put some good out into the world. See y'all in just about one hour. www.twitch.tv/bloodgodpod

I continue to maintain that Deus Ex is the sci fi franchise that was the most prescient about our immediate future. The one thing it failed to predict is how stupid everything would be, because it was trying to also be really fkcin cool

Beat Jade Empire again and man it’s a damn shame we never got a sequel. So much promise for building a world, especially knowing what BioWare did with Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Game has its problems, but its undoubtedly compelling

Tune into Blood God this weekend and help raise some money! I’ll be playing some Mario Kart on Sunday!

this has been *months* in the making and now we are less than 24 hours out from a two-day, all-weekend charity stream for @translifeline.org ! we have giveaways, guests, incentives, and one cursed concoction. let's have some fun, raise a ton, and put some good back out into the world!

Did the halfway thing

Finally took the time to write my thoughts about Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut - the “best”technical version of the game, with readded cut story moments that demonstrably make the story worse. It crytstalizes my fear of the series being unwilling to truly move forward www.inverse.com/gaming/yakuz...

NO IT FUCKING WON'T.

Apropos of nothing, Avowed rocket actually. And it’s one of the best games of the year. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Met up with a friend and he was like hey I borrowed this 15 years ago and just found it. So, cool.

Seems bad

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Square Enix has posted the Q&A from their annual shareholders meeting. In Japanese, so hopefully you're fluent or okay with machine translation imperfection Reports of the meeting this week led to drama this week re: turn-based battles, Clair Obscur (& FF14) www.hd.square-enix.com/jpn/ir/stock...

I usually get very "ahh!" about any podcast I'm on and worry about em but I think this episode is genuinely something fantastic. @solfleet.bsky.social and Alexandra brought so much insight, and made the episode – in my opinion – a super thoughtful and insightful rundown of DS2. Gee it a listen

This was a blast to be on and I think we have a pretty comprehensive discussion of what makes Death Stranding 2 so charming and befuddling at times.

Ethan Winter was a huge dweeb and Grace is a coward. 2/2 on relatable RE protags

Man Pragmata looks so much like my shit

Be Kind, Rewinder 004 is going up tomorrow with myself, @scottmccrae.com, @solfleet.bsky.social and Alexandra Hobbs talking about Death Stranding 2... ... so I made really dumb YouTube thumbnail.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Games industry spends decades combating piracy and then immediately pivots into stealing creative works as soon as it’s available to them.

I’m not the only one who thinks including Fantasy Life in an “indie select” is weird, right?

Most of the meaningful discussion I've seen on Expedition 33's ending or themes has come from smaller RPG-focused YouTubers honestly. I think in games crit and standard coverage there's so little time to sit with things meaningfully, it's move onto the next thing as fast as possible.
