Exciting!! You can now get an Enhanced version of THE LONG DARK for Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. If you already own the game on Xbox, this is a free upgrade! www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

we need more games about adoptive dads taking their daughters for big adventures

Wii > Wii-U (It's just an updated Wii) Switch > Switch 2 (It's just an updated Switch)

Conservative guy pretending to be working today in group chat because he doesn't want to admit he gets the day off.

Southwest terminal at Midway has a Juneteenth DJ. Some true hood shit.

I don't buy third-party games for my Switch because it's not my primary system. So if I'm going to buy a third-party game, I'll wait til its on another platform.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

Indie game devs, what's coming out in July? Show me your games!

I can finally show what I've been up to! We're releasing some new merch for Sorry We're Closed!!! We’re releasing a vinyl with unreleased instrumental tracks and enamel pins! New stuff to pair with the already available Premium Physical Edition! Links for everything below!

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu have seemingly made another incredible retro beat-em-up, and the variety between the four characters I got to play has me excited to see the rest of the roster. - @jamesthecarr.bsky.social monstervine.com/2025/06/marv...

Leaving this up for a bit so people have a chance to block this absolute fucking loser.

As infuriating as the conservative SCOTUS is, never forget that America’s genocide against its trans population is the child of “moderate” liberal outlets like the Atlantic and the New York Times, and especially Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who made healthy careers out of polishing bigotry.

I got STALKER 2 working in VR so I can do some virtual plein air sketching and it's going GREAT

oh bananah 🍌🙈 #DonkeyKongBananza #Nintendo #Art #Fanart

Just a reminder that fat people don't exist to validate your thinness. We're people with our own issues and insecurities, we don't need to deal with yours as well.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

every 'moderate' journalist who spent the last half a decade mainstreaming anti-trans rhetoric should never be allowed to forget that there is blood on their hands

Remember, you can support your favorite indie devs by adding their games to your wishlist. It lets them know how much interest there is in their game. #wishlist #indiegame

My Raidou Remastered review will be late as I only got a key three days ago. I'm digging it so far. Review to follow.

Just a reminder that fat people don't exist to validate your thinness. We're people with our own issues and insecurities, we don't need to deal with yours as well.

Okay, this has been on my mind due to a specific game, so I'm a bit petty, but? Generative AI is not useful. Machine Learning is useful. Thread time!

Chamuel!

I wish the people with all the money weren't such fucking losers.

Good job being a useful pick me for Fox News, Sarah.

Would be amazing to get a single piece of media on this topic centered on the right's firehose of bigotry and misinformation rather than "the trans rights movement's shortcomings" www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

I’m gonna be loud about it If you see few games being announced or games not being what you expected - you can blame the massive layoffs that have occurred in the last 2.5 years

This is tangential but a thing I've learned as a person who is related to Fox-brained Republicans: they really think they can steamroll and are ready for ~ arguments ~ but they truly do not know what to do with "Well, that's an awful thing to say and you should be ashamed, anyway, how's the pie"

In the litany of reasons that spotify is bad, a reminder that CEO Daniel Ek is a substantial investor in AI-based drone warfare. Cartoon supervillain shit. www.theverge.com/news/688022/...

He who smeltarune, deltarune

if you a leader and justifying the existence of people by the work they contribute, you are a piece of shit.

Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break

Do not buy books from Dark Owl Publishing! The owner and operator is Andrea Dawn, a known white supremacist, who is currently on threads talking about plowing cars into protesters.

It was 10 years ago at E3 2015 that #FinalFantasy VII Remake was revealed! I still love listening to the audience slowly clueing into it. ☄️ Two critically acclaimed games later, and hopefully we see the third and final #FF7R title revealed soon!

Oi! Lookit the chicken chasuh!

It rules that the only people that have stable well-paying jobs in journalism are dumb assholes

Happy Father’s Day to him

Her boyfriend, he don't know Anything about her He's too stoned, Nintendo I wish that I could make her see She's just the flavor of the weak Who is this stoned gamer player?

This Father’s Day, I am reminded that my dad “illegally” immigrated to this country at a time where the US was still horrible to Italians. I would not be here today without that, and it disappoints me to see people like my father poisoned by this country and turned against today’s immigrants.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her
