I pretty regularly shit on “blight” and “corruption” because it’s simultaneously boring and EXTREMELY common - almost like it’s a ‘default’ devs fall into when considering how to make their world hostile. But suggesting ‘corruption’ is some sort of DEI initiative is genuinely 10/10 hilarious.

When they wind them back, they're gonna refer to them as the Biden Tariffs and be like 'we had to do them because of the economy that Biden left us. The Biden Tariffs were terrible, folks, but we got rid of them. We got rid of Biden's terrible tarifs and now America is back in business'.

I’m not even remotely joking when I say that messing with the price of videogame stuff will be the thing that brings him down. It should have been a million other things, but it’ll be this.

This direct’s ’one more thing’ was a series of post-direct reveals and announcements, each more disappointing than the last.

REVIEW: Split Fiction is an instant classic, and one of the best co-op games in years. 9.5/10 ggapp.io/UpwardBoss/r...

Incredible strength and courage from Zelenskyy. Standing up to a room full of bullies in an orchestrated, stage-managed ambush. Never backing down. Never letting the lies take root. Absolute hero for the ages.

INTRODUCING the thing that no one else has ever done! A gaming podcast! I and my friend Connor (who is not on Bluesky) have finally started one! Hurray for innovation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlZt...

REVIEW: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an adventure just as full of heart and spectacle as the original films, and it's enough to overcome some pretty big issues to result in a game worth more than the sum of its parts. 8/10 ggapp.io/UpwardBoss/r...

TGA"s Game of the Year goes to Astro Bot

GEOFF STOP, YOU'VE COOKED ENOUGH. WE'LL NEVER MAKE THE WRAP IT UP JOKE EVER AGAIN. PLEASE, WE CAN'T HANDLE ANY MORE PEAK.

It should be illegal to review an Indiana Jones videogame if you haven't seen at least one of the Indiana Jones movies. Like, straight to jail. Only a 30 day sentence but there has to be some consequences.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl may one day be a great game, but right now it's simply not ready for launch. Poor performance, myriad bugs and numerous under-baked and imbalanced design elements terminally wound the experience. My review: youtu.be/BRCLRAJkqjg?...

I am immensely skeptical that Bluesky will survive long term given how Threads went, but I'm gonna give it a shot for now, and if it lasts long term I might stay.
