Had an hour and played a few matches of Halo: Infinite. That's still just some good multiplayer

Cool. Great. Fantastic.

@tolkoto.com mentioned on the latest demo disk that no one talks about Amped, so watch the GB quick look of Amped 3, where Jeff and Ryan just watch all the cinematics: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVyG...

Pruning my arugula and basil this past week

If nothing else, Firebreak will give me countless opportunities to gush about Control to my co-op shooter friends

Well, I hope they can swim, @cado.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/remapradio/c... @remapradio.bsky.social

Perfection

New season of Blight Club @giantbomb.bsky.social is off to a great start

If you had told me an MTG card would make me emotional...

This rules

I am so tired of the glares from some students who think I am just some crank hating on these things when I suggest they do the research and writing themselves

Maybe because I was raised in a relatively flat Ontario, but I never get tired of looking at mountains

I see people occasionally deride Fortnite for this kind of thing (I don't think Zack is to be clear!) but it's funny to think how in Unreal Tournament, this was just a skin you downloaded/ made yourself for the same silliness.

The best part of the Minecraft movie is its inclusion of Lena's Pigstep

Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.

This all just absolutely sucks and games coverage is in such a dire state

I pour my heart out to all the incredible people at Polygon and GB who lost their jobs today. Some incredible people suffering at the hand of corporate nonsense

Went through the Monster Factory video to see if the same settings would recreate @justinmcelroy.bsky.social and @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social's beautiful banana boy

She's gonna hoard all the cheese in Cyrodiil

Make Dagoth-Ur a skin in Fortnite

I really like our new place

I've done nothing besides the character creator in the Oblivion Remaster, but this absolutely rips

I was surprised with how much the Minecraft movie leverages its humor on "man isn't that weird" in the logic of the game, there is no comment about how the Zombies dress the same as Steve

Last year I discovered someone was using AI to assess student assignments and I was so utterly gobsmacked and outraged

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Tariffing penguins will live on as this man's "made his horse a consul"

Really seems like the DDoS and server instability will kill much of the hardcore WoW scene

It's sad to see the end of OnlyFangs 2 to something as anticlimactic as a DDoS, but it was really special for bringing so many novel perspectives to WoW

Been playing both Classic and Retail WoW the past few days. It's mystifying to reflect on how these two versions are technically the same title.

I dunno. Trump doing a Tesla promo while Russia launches an air strike on Kyiv in contravention of a just agreed ceasefire seems more dystopian than singing while Rome burns

Oh to have the confidence of the person at my café saying with utmost certainty "May 3rd is Cinco de Mayo"

I've just really been enjoying hardcore WoW these past weeks, and it's been refreshing to just focus on a thing and not try to keep up on the latest stuff

This is a minor thing, but I am totally at a loss for what "fre liberam" is supposed to mean in the Helldivers Warbond. I get the other even if "democrasum" isn't a word

I do not expect any historical accuracy in Gladiator II, but I absolutely lost it when Denzel's character said "hose them down".
