I couldn’t resist making this 🤦🤣

They keep reiterating this is to “support human creatives” and as a human creative, I see no use case for generating vaguely game-like slop from terabytes of gameplay data. Like you’re creating a machine to make a worse version of an already existing thing? And I can use this for what exactly?

“Super Bowl lix”? You mean what my dog does when he’s trying to get the last bits of kibble out of his food dish?

I'm not gonna lie, I'm floored that a university would call off a Lunar New Year event open to everyone because it might be "DEI"

This next game will be the first game I've ever really made without Dan. I been trying not to grieve online but it's been a rough few days and I miss my homie.

idk I feel like the government shutting down a very popular app due to how widely we were able to access information concerning a hushed genocide should be alarming to everybody regardless of your interest in using the app yourself

why did nintendo basically take all the color away in the first controllers we see in the switch 2 😭😭 www.polygon.com/nintendo-swi...

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

Nothing pisses me off like people saying blue collar workers don’t deserve to make more money because it’s a “simple” job, doesn’t require a degree etc. If you think that you’re a classist, nasty, hating ass bitch.

we gotta cool it with our use of “titular”

Infuriating. Please note that this decision only applies to trans kids— cis kids going through precocious puberty still get to have them. Because they’re only experimental and dangerous when used for a purpose some people find icky

As someone who consumes a ton of YouTube content, it drives me up the wall that so many YouTubers feel almost obligated to take potshots at games journalists. “Can you believe IGN finally gave Sonic a good score? Not that IGN has any credibility!” Then why bring them up if they’re so irrelevant?

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

GOD FORBID I CAN READ A RECIPE WITHOUT ADS WITH FULL ASS VIDEO PLAYERS CLOGGING UP MY TINY PHONE SCREEN I WAS NOT BUILT FOR THIS

people hating on wrapped, I understand, but like we gotta find those little moments of joy in the hellscape. A silly little excuse to get a peak inside the headphones of your friends for ONE DAY shouldn’t send you over the edge.

Reid’s last 10 GOTYs 2023: Tears of the Kingdom 2022: Elden Ring 2021: It Takes Two 2020: Hades 2019: Sayonara Wild Hearts 2018: Return of the Obra Dinn 2017: Breath of the Wild 2016: Stardew Valley 2015: Undertale 2014: Sunset Overdrive

I know I’m not the first person to say it, but man, season 2 of Arcane was just not great. The complaints about it feeling rushed are super valid, but I’m more put off by how much less grounded it feels. The class struggles of season 1 were way more compelling than the war/magic apocalypse to me

Thanks to your support, we raised over $62,700 to help single moms in the Twin Cities through the nonprofit Emerge Mother's Academy! bit.ly/maxmoms We can't thank you all enough for your generosity! Watch the full archive here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIw8...

I'm so unbelievably disappointed and angry at seeing this: www.riotgames.com/en/work-with... Two rounds of layoffs that targeted artists and now we're going to be stable diffusion splash arts!!!

NEW: Hundreds of Bethesda workers at America's largest video game union have gone on strike today, protesting the company's recent outsourcing. Microsoft did not immediately respond to comment. www.inverse.com/gaming/bethe...

DS lite! 🍓✨ #lowpoly

So much Reid-core music and games coming out this year I don’t have time for this shit (compliment)

getting bangs is great if you want to look good 2 days a week

if the cashier compliments ur choices that means u won the thrifting competition

Patti Harrison talking at LENGTH about Kunitsu-Gami and comparing it to Viewtiful Joe... I cannot believe how fucking cool she is www.perfectlyimperfect.fyi/p/patti-harr...

glad to see more people moving to cute butterfly twitter from yucky billionaire twitter. stick around y’all

Deeply proud of the difficult work that @supercrip1994.bsky.social put into this investigation, and incredibly sad about the outcome. My heart goes out to the community impacted by this: www.ign.com/articles/a-p...

Last week, I lost my dream job at Game Informer. Today, I’m excited to announce Viewport, a new documentary series giving you inside looks at video games. I can’t do this without your help. TRAILER: youtu.be/91RmPAqRIu4 SUPPORT: Patreon.com/ViewportVideo

it's really annoying that any time something else terrible happens in the US due to our government/whatever, there are people who are in a rush to be like "why are you surprised???" as though it's a contest to be the most jaded possible person about how terrible all of our lives are. don't do this

Summer is good. Go make a little sandwich. Go eat a fresh strawberry. Go read a little book by the water.

Playing unbelievably polished indie passion projects like Animal Well feels like peak gaming. The tech art and world design on display here is the level of quality that only comes from *years* of iteration. My standing ovation to you Billy Basso

Indie games. indie music. Indy 500. Indiana Jones. Indecency. Indica?

It’s been so rewarding to dive into the Like a Dragon series. It feels like if GTA traded it’s snark and satire for warmth and empathy. Having this close knit group of friends makes me think about the important folks in my life and how much I love them.

NOBODY eats like Beyoncé eats.

I’m like 80% done with Elden Ring, Yakuza Like A Dragon, and TotK all concurrently. Setting myself up for a week where I finish all three of them and feel like gods gift to video games.
