It will never stop being funny to me how many people have convinced themselves that Andor doesn't have "easter eggs" or "fanservice" or whatever other Discourse Boogeymen we're doing paranoid reads on this week Because the actual most self-contained Star Wars series is probably Skeleton Crew

Any attempt to remind us that the foot soldiers of fascism are human just reinforces how selectively they decide who they view as human and who they don't

Haunting, beautiful epilogue to an incredible experience Still Wakes the Deep was one of the standout highlights of last year. I'm glad we got this opportunity to go back

Just a reminder that if you see me posting vacuous shit about my fish tank or Genshin or whatever other unimportant thing I post about today that isn’t the horrible Supreme Court ruling, it’s because I’m DESPERATELY trying to focus on anything else just to remain sane when I want to SCREAM IN RAGE.

Discourse tends to get weird about lore/continuity/worldbuilding etc, but threads like this are a great reminder that there can be a lot of joy in lovingly embracing the tiny details in fiction. They can reflect and enhance our appreciation for the bigger things, and give us even more room to play

I feel like Schumer throwing trans people under the bus by suggesting their rights are a “distraction” really needs to be seen especially since even that dipshit had the good sense to at least delete it:

THREAD. The New York Times editorial on the New York City Mayor race is shameful. A lot of people have criticized its cowardice for refusing to endorse, but I want to highlight something deeper and more disturbing.

Firebreak is the most exciting, refreshing online shooter I've played in a while I needed a game like this. We've needed more games like this

Every time the US starts getting jumpy about Iran all I can think is "Gee, maybe things would be better if Churchill and Eisenhower hadn't conspired to overthrow their Prime Minister in 1953 because we wanted their oil" Really makes you question the whole history of American Intervention huh

Took a few years but I have finally escaped Returnal, true ending. Gotta be honest this one feels good. There were times back when I first started where I wasn't sure I'd ever actually clear it And the best part is now I can finally go watch @jacobgeller.com's spoiler video from three years ago

I don't wanna be mean and kick a zombified horse that's been dead for years, but going directly from RE4 to RE5 really highlights how much I dislike basically every decision 5 made

Everyone should read/play Marathon. Look at this shit. There really is nothing out there with writing like this. Simultaneously thematically rich and really funny. "Okay Durandal!"

Oh fuck yes. Still Wakes the Deep is truly incredible and I really wasn't expecting to get more of it

In some ways I feel like remaking 1 will be more difficult, but the Silent Hill 2 remake turned out well enough that I'm certainly interested That being said Konami, can we PLEASE get the originals re-released?

This is always the answer to "but how will we pay for it?" The true cost of the violence the state uses to hoard power, both committing it and its consequences, is far more than what it would cost to just help people in the first place. They do it because violent authority is their goal

Up to 20 games finished this year now 😁 I don't want to treat it like I'm keeping score with myself. But it's hard not to feel like this is some tangible proof that I'm getting better at corralling my brain. And it's really nice to finally check some longstanding names off the list

Using this to break ACAB down for anyone who still doesn’t understand. Let’s agree the shooter is a bastard. The others should have prevented him from firing, and after he fired he should have immediately been taken out. He felt comfortable enough to fire because he knows he will get away with it.

My biggest takeaway from the Xbox showcase is that Microsoft is a fundamentally evil company that needs to be dismantled The talented artists forced to work under their umbrella deserve better, and more importantly the victims of the genocide that MS directly supports deserve so, so much better

The state wants us to believe this isn't violence. Our system works very hard to redefine violence as anything that disrupts their status quo. Never the abuses they inflict on us But make no mistake, we are under violent occupation. It's BEEN here. They just don't want us to see it for what it is

If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed

Just going purely off my own following feed, the two biggest takeaways from the summer game fest show are "Oh hey, RE9" and "look at this guy and his dumb fucking hat" in roughly equal measure I like this about my feed

Love the look of Lego Voyagers Builder's Journey was excellent. As much as I love the action/platformer Lego games, it's cool to see other things outside that mold

Conflicted about Onimusha: Way of the Sword The game itself looks great, but I still feel weird about them modeling the main character on Toshiro Mifune. It's not like this is specifically a character he played. They just paid for a dead man's face because... they thought it would be cool?

I still have to finish Mortal Shell but it was doing some really neat things and I really dug it. Glad to see a second one

I keep seeing A Certain Youtube Channel post videos about how they've "fixed" modern graphics because they're so much smarter than all the lazy/stupid/corrupt AAA devs Dude, when no one in the industry wants to work with you, it won't be because you "exposed the truth" or whatever you tell yourself

I tried to check roughly how close I am to finishing Space Marine. But it turns out googling "Warhammer 40k: Space Marine chapters" just comes up with lists of the in-universe chapters. Oops warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Pictori...

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.
