if naked lunch was written by a millennial

i'm sorry does that really say Sesame Street Mecha Builders

Chrono Trigger

treated myself to a little something to do with my hands this weekend

to fire more people

Sorry We're Closed Premium Edition (Switch) up for preorder on Amazon ($44.99) buff.ly/7R1dZrD PS5/Switch Serenity Forge Store buff.ly/nUbsCeR VGP buff.ly/vOAGdDN #ad

hell yeah

all-timer of an intro hits even harder when it's not on your shitty outdated iphone dungeon sickos don't miss this just because it's got stupid gacha stuff in it

oh shit 👀

"Dunk & Destruction" being WWE DLC and not a rebranded Shut Up and Jam Gaiden sequel project makes me sad

nah

can't believe you high-falutin' split fiction assholes are out here stealing carmen sandiego's thunder today unbelievable

i reviewed the new carmen sandiego game and think it's neat that there's a new edutainment game for consoles after that genre has mostly been wiped off the map in favor of sketchy mobile apps - it's also way more like the original series than i expected www.shacknews.com/article/1433...

10 years 🫡 Thank you all to all of our listeners. Thank you to Victor, Eric, and Nadia. Thank you to @jparish.bsky.social for convincing me to host an RPG podcast all those years ago. Here’s to another 500 episodes. 🥂

now’s probably a good time to point out i was at walmart the other day and it had a random stack of sonic unleashed copies

I previewed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for @ign.com. Haven't been this intrigued by an upcoming release since... maybe Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox. And y'all know how I feel about Ninja Gaiden. This could be a truly remarkable game. Thanks to @dmc-ryan.bsky.social for the opportunity.

Instead of fueling the bad discourse further, here are some of the previews of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that YOU SHOULD READ! TBH I was a skeptic, but now I'm dying to play From @shepardcdr.bsky.social kotaku.com/clair-obscur... From @edgarallanbro.bsky.social www.ign.com/articles/cla...

really trying not to get into it with anyone but seeing shit like "spell something in a fucked up victorian kinda way" in reference to people using their native language in the title of the shit they made it's like this is happening inside my brain

People not accepting non-English words in titles is what turned John Cena heel

can we not be weird about foreign languages in video game titles on a monday morning please

publishers would never go this hard this is *art*

oh my god

what motivates YOU?

looking back at history is cool, fun, and makes you smarter it's true

i reviewed another cool-looking visual novel that found a way to throw me off, weird how that happened twice in the same month lots of cool nintendo DNA in this one, but it has a dreadful combat system that harshes the vibe

"You forced me to do layoffs by not marketing my game for free" is certainly a take.

Restart is looking for a writer with expertise in the Assassin's Creed franchise (we are not looking for a Shadows reviewer or general content pitches). Please email [email protected] with recent writing samples. Deadline: EOD 2/26/2025.

everyone's talking about monolith for obvious reasons, but i want to point out how badly wb screwed player first games made a game better than anyone expected, and wb jerked them around pointlessly at the first sign of trouble then acquired the studio for no discernable reason joke company

This is, I guess, as good a time as any to let friends here know I was laid off this week and that I'm looking for work. I have 15+ combined years in games marketing, narrative, writing, & bizdev. So, hey, if you know anybody hiring, my DMs are open.

another big update from me! i've been sitting on this for a week, unsure of how to write this up.. but i've gotten the total cost for my top surgery, which is $19.6k. i can't raise this money alone, even with all of the work i do, so i've made a gofundme. gofund.me/954d116c

have to go like an hour away to get taiyaki at a restaurant but i found these at a store and they were pretty decent

experience inc, i love you, but you don’t make it easy when you insist on being degenerates with your water dungeons

everything i’m reading about wilds as someone who has played these games (casually to be clear) since The First One makes it sound pretty lame tbh i want to play monster hunter, not fortnite with more menus

We got some hands-on time with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. read our impressions here!

Going live now for special Monday recording. Going to share my thoughts after playing several hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and plenty more! Link: twitch.tv/bloodgodpod
