In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

boys of this age are no slouches either i was recently at lunch with my friend and his 11yo son and the kid got an evil glimmer in his eye and announced a 'hairline contest' for the sole purpose of roasting his father

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

"🚨 Very urgent 💔 Ahmed is suffering every minute. His body's covered with painful spots and wounds, and he is getting weaker. He can barely eat or sleep. We need £100 today for his daily injection. Please don’t leave him alone;delay could be fatal. Help may save Ahmed. 🙏" chuffed.org/project/1905...

The cover of my copy of Twin Snakes got water damaged (discs are totally fine!) but IMO it goes hard as fuck

Amazing news from the biology centre this month, they've injected DNA into an incubating partridge egg and monitored its growth, and what hatched is confirmed to be a fully stable pheasant chick. This is a real game changer

just subtitled a TV historical documentary where all of the re-creation footage was gen AI 🙃

I just started Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and it’s asking me if I want “original mode” or Funky Mode” like I can possibly understand the full ramifications of that choice

just wanted to read a kids’ menu online and look at all this fucking shit lmao

why does “the event” sound kind of ominous. no dawg you aren’t going to the event. the event ain’t for you

Just saw a video of someone singing Vera Lynn to old people in a home despite most of them being too young to remember the war, and it's unlocked a new terror in me of being elderly and them making my teenager-in-the-00s ass listen to WW2 music because "that's what old people like".

Those games are going to still exist once the PS3 store closes. In fact, many of them are going to become better than ever, running on better hardware at higher resolutions with better networking. Might even be a questionable idea to throw money at Sony for products they may just take away someday.

Just as an aside, PS3 emulation has gotten real good AND they've got custom multiplayer servers up and running. Folks have been playing Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair (the wild mega-scale co-op dungeon crawler - no other game like it) on PC for a while now.

The billionaire co-founder of AirBnB wants you to blame the babies of undocumented immigrants for starter homes being unaffordable.

rare solo trip away, rare night out, everyone went their separate ways and i found myself ravenous but strictly forbidden from bringing takeaway back to my B&B. so i’m here to tell you that it IS possible to be a teetotal 42-year-old father of two and still smash an entire pizza on a bench at 1am

🚨 Urgent | Ahmed may be moved to the pediatric ICU. Doctors say his condition is worsening. His high fever won’t stop, painful sores keep spreading, and he grows weaker every day. Gaza lacks the care he needs. Please help us get Ahmed treatment before it’s too late. 🙏😭💔 chuffed.org/project/1839...

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Well, dang. Perfect Dark looks REAL good as a VR game. Modded variant of the recent PC port, available in both PC and Quest native formats.

it’s always a good time to get hold of any semi-capable PC from the past decade and download a bunch of emulators and go wild exploring more incredible games than you could play in a lifetime

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!
