My Switch 2 won't be delivered until next wednesday

A cool thing about our government systems is that when a cop got shot a few days ago literally everyone in the county got multiple screeching phone alerts letting us know about it but when a tornado was about to wreck our shit it was almost impossible to find current, accurate information.

hi folks - i know SGF is just around the corner, but we're also spinning up plans for the annual @bloodgodpod.bsky.social charity stream benefitting Trans Lifeline. our current stream dates are June 28 and 29. new or old pals, if you're interested in participating in some way, please let me know!!!

Felt Talk to Me was a bit overhyped when I saw it a few years ago, so I was so happy to walk out of Bring Her Back like this.

Elden Ring movie director Alex Garland is reportedly looking at reuniting with his Warfare actor Kit Connor for A24 and Bandai Namco’s adaptation of FromSoftware’s 2022 RPG hit.

Hey! I interviewed @bhvr.com’s Dave Richard & Jason Guzzo to learn more about Dead by Daylight’s new Five Nights at Freddy’s Chapter. You can read about on how Springtrap stays faithful to FNaF, when DBD will be playable on Nintendo Switch 2, and more at IGN 🐰 www.ign.com/articles/exc...

Folks, it's time for *that*. You know, the part where we ask for money. We've shown you we can do the work, but if we want to keep doing the work, we need some support. Help us prove there's an audience for good writing, and better writing about games and other media. Here's the pitch:

I finished almost every Borderlands game + DLC and I can't wait to not play Borderlands 4. Randy LOVES saying the dumbest shit he can possibly come up with.

hating me gets them views here’s my story today 5pm ET // 2pm PT youtu.be/V4cB_g3U-iQ?...

“‘it’s really frustrating,’ said one editor. ‘we will need to cover switch 2 while also working across summer game fest. how are we supposed to do that?’” let me tell you about freelancers www.thegamebusiness.com/p/major-medi...

Every idea Kojima has for a game, implemented or otherwise, is either the dumbest shit I've ever heard or the most fascinating idea ever. No in between.

We had always planned to launch today, but it seems more necessary now than ever, so here goes: @brianbarnett.bsky.social, @hokutolucas.bsky.social, and I are launching an independent games website today called Skybox. You can read our welcome letter/mission statement here:

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. Lol

“It’s just rude. Like, you didn’t have to do that.”- a tearful @rollens.bsky.social giving me her thoughts on The Last of Us Season 2 Ep. 2.

Trailer 2.

I wish every week had a Tuesday

hey, anyone at gamurs (or recently formerly at gamurs) feel like talking about some stuff? DMs are open, or email at lukeATaftermathDOTsite

We're just months away from too many people finding the wackiest way to drop a Nintendo Switch 2 thousands of feet in the air.

Bella Ramsey has always been an incredible Ellie.

“The protesters are being paid” A: No, obviously. B: Conservative voters in Wisconsin were being paid with the chance for a million dollars and then STILL lost. By a lot. What’s your excuse?

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Nintendo has taken the unprecedented decision to delay Switch 2 preorders in the U.S., pointing to the impact of Trump's tariff war and "evolving market conditions." bit.ly/4iVEEjF

Big thank you to the Switch 2 for allowing me to justify putting off Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for two years so I can continue to not finish it this June I love video games I swear.

I've learned so much about Venom's ass the last few days. www.ign.com/articles/ven...

Tuesday time.

Nintendo really wants everyone to use that app, huh?

Big Tuesday fan.

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

The only thing that (so far) feels worse about Born Again vs. OG Daredevil is the cinematography. Otherwise, it's got the juice and the only way to be disappointed by it is being too nostalgic for a series that was also imperfect and/or having reached Marvel exhaustion due to lesser shows/flicks.

Tuesday again.

I’d love to work with the right partners to put something together in Kansas City. Affordable, central location, plenty to do downtown. If people wanted to make it happen, I’d find a way to do it.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

It's Tuesday.
