Remedy continues to demonstrate that narrative is worthy of investment. People want stories. Good stories take time, expertise and patience/trust from devs who are less au fait with its mechanics (because it IS every bit as mechanical and design heavy as every other aspect of your game).

Games Media is the smallest its ever been and will unfortunately continue to get smaller as the days go by. The young audience is just going to Youtube and Twitch now. Dont like it but its much more likely to find and build a community around games there from scratch than anywhere else now

Big Walk, the multiplayer puzzle game from the creators of Untitled Goose Game, sold one million copies in less than a week. gameinformer.com/2026/08/10/b...

BREAKNG: Meta announces it will invest $1 billion in US cities and towns where it operates and is building AI data centers. That sum pales in comparison to the $600 billion Meta plans to spend on data centers through 2028. The company already has 160 data centers planned or under construction.

Played Big Walk last night and its all I can think about now

Maybe my gaming tastes have just simplified into lizard brain territory as I've gotten older but Splatoon Raiders is prob the most fun I've had with a video game this year by far. The simple loop has kept me engaged and wanting to keep playing.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

Everyone at Restart was let go today, so another layoff for me in the span of a month. Editors, I'll be at PAX West and I'm looking to fill my schedule with (paid) opportunities.

So we found out this morning that everyone - myself included - from Restart's editorial staff has been let go. After like six layoffs in six years, that gif is my unfortunate reaction. Looking! For! Opportunities! I guess I'm open for freelance for a while!

I was laid off from Restart today, alongside my wonderful and talented co-workers. Sucks to write, but here we are. Lots of ways you can help, but I'm currently live with a lay-off subathon where you can come and chat and sub to keep the timer going to give me some cash Twitch.tv/MamaVitelli

"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

Why's it gotta be temporary though
