I love my job as the guy who adds a fake “keep me signed in” checkbox to every website that does nothing

legally can’t really say my thoughts on the kind of brain geniuses who would buy a site like giant bomb and then kill it for being giant bomb. but, you know.

Normally not much of a browser plugins guy, but as someone who occasionally looks up video game things online, this one's been very nice. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

i would say the most shocking lesson i’ve learned from working in digital media for 9 years is that a truly unbelievable number of C-suite people simply have no idea what they’re even in charge of

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Fandom tells Kotaku that Giant Bomb content remains paused as part of a "strategic reset and realignment of our media brands." Says it's working on "creative ideas for the future of Giant Bomb" even as Dan Ryckert and Jeff Grubb depart amid a clash over interference.

Genuine response: shareholder capitalism. Once all of these big companies went public, they now had to deliver year over year profits. Thats inherently unsustainable/impossible, and even more so when you aren’t selling a uniform product: art. They want their money and they want it now.

Anyway, I guess I'll have more stuff to say about all this at some point. Took a first crack at it on what I think will be the next episode of the @vgbees.com podcast, recorded today, posting in the near future. It's a complicated subject, turns out!

I have developed a grudging respect for Heathcliff, because the comic now consists entirely of self-referential jokes built around a years-long, labyrinthine canon of recurring gags. Apparently these things make perfect sense to devoted followers but come off as deranged shitposts to normal people

Good morning Happy Earth Day

seems as good an opportunity as any to dump some of my favorite 4chan posts

The Cake of Infinite Death glitch is an extremely tragic glitch in Super Mario Galaxy that can be seen by reaching a Mission 3 Launch Star in Mission 1 of Toy Time Galaxy. Luigi will be launched towards a cake, but miss, and be trapped in a death loop until his lives run out.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

Experimental post: Dubious Statements from Official Sources In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, I have compiled a variety of statements that are bizarre, but were published in official Nintendo-authorized sources.

incredible website lmfao

I need you all to know that the Croc remaster that came out today has an extensive feature that teaches you how to crochet your own Croc plushie.

Nintendo Switch 2? Looks like you need to switch 2 another console, or better yet, switch 2 a better form of government so that your games, and your eggs don't cost 300 smackers. you've got egg on your face, from when the president smacked you, so face the music. Wii Music.

going from toby fox to randy pitchford is like letting me see heaven before sending me straight to the eighth layer of hell

Toby Fox to Randy Pitchford is some of the most intensive whiplash one could ever experience

Deltarune Ch 1-4 coming to Switch 2 at launch

Oh and ah, one more thing that's been botherin' me. You say you're a 'SFW-Only' artist, but... Earlier when I complimented the details on the mouth you drew -- excellently done by the way, you're real talented -- you ah, You called it a maw.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Bad news for all of us hopeful for Mr. Birchum season 2.

the scary thing about the Western Kabuki related grummz goonernomicon video is it could happen to any of us. we could all be exposed for using our video game companies and mom's name to commit tax fraud to fund our porn addiction. I just don't wanna think about it
