Anyone else wanna live in a world where Borderlands 4 came to Switch 2? No? Just me? Okay.

Fuck me. Everybody should go play the first Moonlighter for the grand price of *nothing*.

If I win the lottery I wouldn’t tell anyone, but there would be signs:

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

What a lovely surprise! Thanks to the folks at Polyarc for sending me this beautiful plush of Quill. A desk buddy for life!

Happy that Dave is seemingly getting his role in an "... Of War" video game movie after all.

Dave Bautista in Talks to Join God of War TV Series as Kratos, Replacing Ryan Hurst

Ended up running through the entirety of God of War 3 this weekend. Still an absolute barnstormer that offers little room to breathe from beginning to end. I was sceptical before, but I seriously hope the 1+2 remakes retain this era's look, vibe, and style.

Two Door Cinema Club were absolutely incredible in Cardiff last night (in case you're wondering).

Here's my recent chat with the @twopointstudios.bsky.social team, discussing the sim series' road to success, the secret to being hilarious, and the maddest ideas they've been pitched. Happy 10th anniversary to Two Point! 🎉

All I'm saying is, Arkane has a chance to do the funniest thing and cast Mahershala Ali as its Blade.

I mean, we all joked about comic sans and everything, but what I wouldn't give to see it on a poster these days instead of that fucking dreadful slop font. Would go to war for comic sans, I would run through a wall for times new roman. Impact, I take back everything I said about you.

Okay, so Jason Momoa definitely wasn't ever present on the Street Fighter movie set, right?

Alternative headline: Andrew Willson lays off everyone who worked on successful Battlefield 6 to steal all the wealth they created.

Despite its success, Electronic Arts rewarded some of those who made Battlefield 6 by laying them off. It's a different story for EA CEO Andrew Wilson.

As if you needed another reason to hate this stuff, but I'll admit, this is a scary reality I hadn't previously considered. Fuck AI and fuck data centres.

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

Replaying Shredder's Revenge and can't help but feel that a beat-em-up Mortal Kombat game in this style would go harrrd. Pixelated renditions of Scorpion, Sub-Zero and the like, deploying each's powers as super skills while battling through the different realms stage by stage. Dotemu, call me. 📞

We must normalize being extremely rude to people with surveillance cameras on their faces. It is the moral duty of every citizen to make them feel extremely unwelcome everywhere they go.

This bloke was in every sword-and-sandal epic back in the day. Surprised he didn't turn up in The Odyssey, tbh.

This is a great thread with a summation of a team’s discussions and ultimate decisions that includes both business reasons and philosophy/moral reasons 🤗👏🏻

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

I seriously hope following Resynced's success that Ubisoft goes the Capcom route: Finding its feet again with these modern reappraisals, then applying those lessons to all-new entries. Remakes alone does not a sustainable business make.

Tonight's British Thriller double bill... Despite McAvoy's standout performance and the purposeful cringe I found Speak No Evil rather plodding. The Good Boy, however, was an absolute belter of a slow burn that'll be staying with me for a while!

This happened with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance too. Oofh! Switch 2 version definitely needed later down the line.
