Since everyone decided today we blab about Xbox shit www.bdsmovement.net/news/boycott...

This has been on my mind since I left games media. It's readily apparent how many marginalized folks have been pushed out over these last few years and it's no coincidence that there's generally been a lot less interesting coverage as a result. The whole games space feels like it's sliding backwards

Ok, it’s settled. Britain is the world’s biggest US suck-up. Jesus, Starmer, the option to stfu was right there. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

F1 is a movie with no hype, very little press that I’ve heard no one talk about. Yet it’s been in my super screen for weeks!

Wild that there once maybe kinda sorta vaguely the idea that procedure exists and one dude couldn't simply do all this at a whim. That was always something of a fantasy but seeing so much raw and casually violent Id has been truly horrible.

It’s not simply doing this, or doing it without congressional approval, or doing it without explanation of risks, or doing it without declaration of war, or doing it on behalf of an ally mid-genocide. It’s the fickleness that suggests what’s to come. Rule, war, death by his whim.

giving people the same punishment for painting some planes as blowing them up feels like its asking for one thing really

Pikmin 3 got a patch. The notes don't specifically mention the new crashes, but just an overal improvement of performance. Its almost 3am here so not gonna test it now, but will certainly give it a go tomorrow. Pikmin 3 is my favorite in the series and one of my favorite games period, so excited.

I really wanted to like Pikmin 4, but I’m finding that playing it feels more and more like a chore.

I just spent 30 dollars on Daggerheart in Demiplane, only to then find out if I want to store more than 8 PCs I need to pay them monthly. What a fucking racket.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I have never seen Pikmin 3 crash before, but it just crashed on Switch 2 while I was trying to scan a thing my Pikmin picked up. Feel like theres a decent chance this is a compatability issue.

It's 100% free to not watch the Xbox thing and it's even freer to not post your thoughts about it.

Wow the Xbox showcase is soon! This is a great time to cancel your Game Pass subscription instead of watching it! bdsmovement.net/news/boycott...

Jeff surely is aware of the BDS call to boycott Xbox, but I guess he thinks he's above it. Still a threat my ass.

Today is Microsoft's Xbox Showcase and I really think not tuning in is both the right call and the literal least you can do to show Microsoft and Xbox that you are NOT OKAY with them aiding Israel with an ongoing Genocide.

Don't watch the xbox stream. Don't watch other people watch the xbox stream. Don't buy xbox published or developed games. Its that fuckin simple. Disapointed in the state of games coverage that folks seem to find this so hard to do.

As someone taking part in the current Xbox / Microsoft boycot, I went back and forth a lot on how to handle covering, or not covering, today's Xbox Showcase event. My answer? I'm using it to fundraise for Medical Aid for Palestinians. www.justgiving.com/page/laurakb...

I know there name is literally outside Xbox, but its still a shame to see folks just ignore the BDS call to boycott over fucking xbox games.

Of all the Switch games that got upgrades on Switch 2, I chose to play Pikmin 4. A game I do not particularly love that has no update.

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

I was really uncomfortable with this as well. And not just because the math doesn’t math. One dev plus nine friends working with him is 10 people… not one. Expedition 33 is a triumph, but it wasn’t made by 30 people. Contractors provided vital labor. This is a dangerous path we’re walking.

Friends. Enjoy the first look what we've been building. Ain't nothing to... y'all know the rest.

The Splitgate 2 guy fuckin sucks...

Great to finally see what Brass Lion has been up to, and it looks fuckin dope

Deadpool is funny... Very rarely, usually more when he's around other people. When he's alone and he's NPH doing a bad Ryan Reynolds? You have no chance.

Even in Online, you don't often do 3 full laps in Mario Kart World, you still do the interval tracks. Why did Nintendo think this was a good idea? To not even have the option to turn them off?

Hey what if in our Kart Racer, defined by doing three laps of four courses, you did three laps of one course, then drove to the other courses and did one lap each? Mario Kart World is a game that exists and some mistakes were made.

I am so incredibly whelmed by Mario Kart World. It's fine. A good one of these. But its unique selling point is a let down and its just not an exciting launch game.

Just got my first Covenant 10 win in Monster Train 2. 1 down, ten more to go. Beacuse they're no chance I'm doing all 180 combinations, especially not with Titan fights, fuck that!

I also just saw someone say "Star Wars and Doctor Who battling each other to see which is the most washed" and like no, not even close. Star Wars has had three decent shows in a row, its going pretty well, its just the fanbase thats mid. Doctor Who went from three bad show runners in a row.

How long until there's an active petion calling for Russel to be fired? Like has it happened already?
