Baby tapir Ume had her first encounter with the water dish and it’s adorable! 🥰

The Demon Tides demo is OUT NOW! Play the beginning of the game, some of the story and a chunk of the game's open world! In this chunky demo you can also share graffiti tags and compete with other players via ghost runs! And guess what? Your saves carry over too. LET'S GO!

nervously humming along with the Weyland-Yutani customer care hotline hold music as screams of terror draw ever nearer

I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

I hate AI. Want to get an extremely confident answer to a question that may be entirely wrong? We had something for that— it was called ASKING THE WEED GUY

The Ira's Plague quest in Eternal Strands like fuck yeah the tasty shit

In Yoshi's Island, all Shy Guys are the same object. A Shy Guy's color is decided solely by its initial spawn point in the level. I have taken the liberty to fill a level with Shy Guys to create a Shy Guy coloration matrix.

"you should care about trans people bc they'll come for you next" right but what if you just cared about trans people?

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

Being radicalized increasingly since 2016 has just been banging my head against this post indefinitely.

don’t meet your heros. i finally saw the critters from redwall irl and they don’t even talk. they’re just pissing and shitting everywhere.

Pleading with people to understand exactly this:

look at this old hoot-hoot

A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

we used to respect the computer

Nice tiny clown car bitch, looks like shit. (45 clowns get out and step to me) Oh fuck

Preparing for my slot on the ROMchip fundraiser stream talking about the Wonder Tools Cruiser! TOMORROW at 7pm Eastern time, I'm gonna break down what's happening with this magic peripheral to raise money for video game history research donate.romchip.org

If I'm falling for propaganda why does it comport so neatly with what I already believe, you IDIOT

the astronauts feuding with elon should just get together and beat his ass. you can't tell who they are in those giant suits anyway.

congress dems: what real americans want is sensible cooperation and measured resistance real americans: we love the ceo murderer, we're so horny for the healthcare murder guy we're all going to marry him

one insignificant thing i like that video games do sometimes is how the controller rumbles when you turn rumble on in the options menu. every game should do this.

Update: Miller and SAG-AFTRA have elaborated their positions in messages to Game Developer. "A game of HADES' size and notoriety leaves me vulnerable to AI cloning outside of their ecosystem, and a non-union contract gives me no teeth to enforce it unless I have money," Miller said.

I cannot stop thinking of how there will be art by, for, and featuring trans people that will endure. Even as this system tries to erase us. It will be there, and the ones who tried to remove us will have a legacy as the losers. The failures. History is full of them.

They just never really understood anyone born after 1970. If they had all their wait staff dress up like a manic pixie dream girl in skater clothes and come sit at your table and listen to you talk about your problems and maybe tell you that you're worthy of love they wouldn't be having any problems

fyi these policies were enacted in response to the Lavender Scare and they are removing them because they wanna do another Lavender Scare

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

we need a new place on the computer

Fan wikis should be illegal.

My new column at Unwinnable is an interview series! Critics on criticism, the written word, and the games they’re writing about. First up is Nic Reuben on Eliot, cartography, and reviewing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Interviews are transcribed. ✅ This is not a podcast. ❌ You could be next. 🫵🏻

Everyday, millions of Americans open a new package of food or medicine and, without thought or deliberation, remove the "sealed for your protection" marker. That's why we're where we are today.

There's a lot of this being praised in replies and stuff and like... there's not really any actual action in here. "We're not using AI" is different than "we won't use AI", which is what the strike is actually about.

"Lost Records knows the armor we wore. Might still wear, too. That girlhood is a thing we all failed in our own way. And that the perfect needle drop can make up for a clumsy confession." My review of—and a bit of speculation on—Lost Records: Bloom & Rage:
