Astro Bot has won Game of the Year at this year's DICE Awards, taking home 5 awards in total. Indiana Jones, Helldivers 2 and Balatro also won multiple awards on the night. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/astro-b...

Microsoft is reportedly bringing Hellblade 2 to PS5, and it could release the game for Sony’s console “pretty soon”, it’s been claimed. vgc.news/news/hellbla...

Boy this Super Bowl is really intent on laundering the business interests of the worst people in the Trump administration huh.

Hey @officialjackwhite.bsky.social, any possibility of rereleasing the Icky Trump apparel design?

As journalists we have to walk a fine line, and sensitive stories often need to pass internal legal reviews before publication. I like how Wired handled this — the headline doesn’t mince words and actually shows you how Musk’s salute is being received by Nazis www.wired.com/story/neo-na...

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Astro Bot is getting another speed run level. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/astro-b...

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

so you're telling me your game has absolutely no point and nothing relevant or interesting to say about the world? Good to know.

Once again asking what problem this technology has solved or is expected to solve to force us to endure this. www.fastcompany.com/91253026/air...

They don’t want love! They want to throw their weight around and be feared and admired They want to be daunting. It’s an important distinction, if they wanted to be loved they’d eradicate homelessness in a city or do something loving with their money The fact they don’t is the entire conversation

calling this a pivot away from content moderation is incorrect. platforms will continue to moderate content their heads perceive as a threat to themselves and/or their powerful friends

Mark Zuckerberg can't even come up with an original way to kiss the ring aftermath.site/zuckerberg-m...

spousal abuse is just the beginning of dana white’s rap sheet. he helped transform the ufc into a colossal exploitation engine that chews up and spits out athletes while paying them peanuts and binding them with restrictive contracts (that do not offer basic employee benefits and protections)

For those of you deleting Facebook to protest Zuckerberg, please note that Meta also owns Instagram and Whatsapp.

Wikipedia editors need to up their opsec. There's a full on war against any independent sources of authority and the oligarch project of taking down Wikipedia is part of it. Donate to Wikipedia if you can. forward.com/news/686797/...

I expected huge corporations to trip over themselves in the rush to shove AI generated slop into everything but it's been SUCH a bummer seeing it seep into smaller things, too. Signage for a farmers market. Antique store flyers. A local ice skating rink. Retro game store t-shirts. Just really sucks.

It's about you. Thank you for 30 years of play đź’™

It boggles my mind that redeeming a game on PlayStation Plus locks you out of purchasing the game and other versions of it

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.
