I feel like Starfield's legacy in a few years is gonna be "this game was when everyone realized they were tired of open worlds and glitchy Bethesda games that fans hand-wave"

Lady Emily ☄️@ladyemily.nebula.tv · yesterday

Starfield is almost three years old now and in that time I have yet to see a single piece of fanart or meme or anything about the contents of the game itself. The extent to which they spent years on that game only for it to be met with a resounding cultural disinterest is fascinating

I can get why Deltarune fans are concerned about the game's pace and hearing that chapter 6 wont be that long (since chapter 5 didn't really answer anything about the shelter, Roaring Knight, Kris's past, etc.) but tbh i don't really have any concerns about how the last two chapters are gonna end up

My biggest surprise with the Fire Emblem direct is that they didn't announce that you could do mouse constrolls for the game i feel like that's a no brainer

It's really jarring to me to have a month where I feel like I'm all over the place and doing a lot to then suddenly get a month where I'm pretty much alone and don't need to do much

Those posts you see online that are like "what is 8 + 4 ÷ 3 - 2 × 5? 90% of people will get this wrong". It's engagement bait. Stop engaging with it. Stop showing it to your local math degree owner (me). I promise you no mathematician worth talking to even writes equations like that.

What is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?

Sorry if this sounds sexist and outside my lane but literally nobody gave a shit about women's sports until trans women wanted to play in women's sports.

Okay now I'm done talking about it hope I'm done burning the correct bridges

Did y'all seriously think your "protests" and online bitching was gonna actually work? Y'all are dumber than I gave you credit for.

If I ever start to think that I'm wasting my money on manga, video games, or tattoos remind me that there's people who bet on sports more than what I spend and I promise I'll be happier.

I wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...

My take on the current anime discourse is halfway between "there's always been a natural bias against anime in the US and it was way worse the more you got into it" and "you weren't bullies for liking anime in high school you were bullies for Naruto running during gym class"

what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white

I'm sure this is just what the market and consumer preferences wanted. Can't wait for more of this :)

Xbox says it’s aware of "major outages" leading to some players having problems signing in and launching games, and is "working to mitigate the issue". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-sa...

Fuck no, that's MGS collection week and people who plan on protesting have digital only libraries anyways so they never gaf about any of this and in fact wanted this to happen. They made their bed, now they go lay in it.

Lowkey feel bad that the Avatar fighting game seemingly has everything working against it between Mike Z, Marvel Tokon releasing in like 2 weeks, and now the Xbox delay and no crossplay on Switch. Sucks, an Avatar fighting game seems like it should be amazing by all accounts...

What's a Futurama line that lives forever in your head? Mine is, "Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandpa."

Gonna make a content farm but for like kid's playground games Like "Hide and Seek ending EXPLAINED" and "Freeze Tag New Meta | 3000 IQ REQUIRED"

Personally, I don't wanna hear shit from people about Sony going digital only from people who've been digital only for years like y'all ain't the reason why Sony think they can get away with this.
