Sssh, we can't let the menfolk find out we have hairbones!
So I previewed Exodus and I am now deeply emotionally invested in the wellbeing of an octopus piloting a mech suit. Very excited to see how the rest of the game turns out. 🐙🚀👩🚀 www.gamespot.com/articles/not... #Exodus #MassEffect
Not Since Mass Effect Has A Sci-Fi RPG's Choices Broken My Heart Like Exodus
Created by former BioWare devs, Exodus evolves the Mass Effect formula into something entirely new, with choices that have far-reaching consequences.

I was considering checking out Blood of Dawnwalker, but oh dear god, that game is 70 euro, I literally cannot afford to play new games that I am not reviewing anymore.
Shoutout to @darranged.bsky.social for this flawless thumbnail image. Also this is the third foot-based news article I've written in like six months.
GameSpot@gamespot.com · 2mo agoEvery single game: "Yeah we need to get TF away from GTA 6's launch window, let's aim for spring." FF7 Revelation: *rubs hands together menacingly*
Every morning at exactly 6:20 AM, I can hear my upstairs neighbor's cat jump off her bed and idk man, hearing those paws hit the floor just makes me smile.
Just had to highlight this delightful little title from the Find Your Next Game showcase. Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this, I love the concept of a paper doll cutting off her foes limbs and stealing them for herself. #Gamescom #Cutout

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Breath of the Wild. It's a great open-world sandbox game. It is not, in my opinion, a great *Zelda* game. (Also fuck those Korok Seeds.)
Kristin 🇨🇦🤓@faierius.bsky.social · 3mo agoNo hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.
Gettin' real tired of living in a Black Mirror episode. This is so repulsive.
Django Wexler@djangowexler.bsky.social · 3mo agoSomehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
No, I would not like to "Ask about this page?" Like, I am reading smutty AO3 fanfic and I *promise* I do not require any assistance comprehending it, kindly fuck off forever please.

Sometimes I really miss that era in the late '90s/early '00s where we were all collectively obsessed with the idea of getting trapped on a tropical island for some reason. Castaway, Survivor, LOST, etc. What a time to be alive.
I know Epic loves collabs with hot new IP, but when the hot new IP in question is a horror movie examining the nuances of rape culture, how about we just... don't make it into an unfunny Fortnite joke? www.gamespot.com/articles/may...
Maybe Not Everything Needs To Be A Fortnite Collab
Epic's recent collab with Curry Barker's hit horror movie, Obsession, is both bewildering and offensive.

Also I need a full-length recording of the Muppets' rendition of Seven Nation Army.

The air feels like glue right now, it is so insanely hot and humid that the even a nice breeze doesn't feel cooling. Global warming is such a sensory nightmare.
This is the point in Sim City where you’re like well I’m fucked

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't say this but ahahah. I am very angry. So I went to Xbox's Fan Fest event to attend a preview event. And it was the most flagrant display of wealth imaginable. Five stories filled with caterers and hundreds of smiling faces there to assure me of the brand's strength.
Also the unhinged amount of gore in Wolverine was amazing, that is all. #StateOfPlay #Wolverine
I dig Phranque the Cube but kinda do not dig the Marvel-esque direction the writing took there for a second after he showed up. It seemed to get back on track by the end, and I get wanting some levity in a game about a dead character, I just hope they don't push the goofy angle *too* hard. #GodOfWar
