A fun thing about SLICE is that you can easily tell which attendees are actually from Seattle: piercings, tattoos, blue hair, Mariners gear paired with this look like they wanna fuckin die

Pretty darn excited about the SLICE panel tomorrow at 4p. We're going to be covering all the things we wished we knew day 1 about the business of games. Even if you're not a studio founder, with so much of the industry being a dumpster fire I think everyone needs to know a little of the biz side.

100 million roadies have the opportunity to do something truly hilarious here

Psychonauts and Costume Quest maker Double Fine has launched its new game development Kickstarter project after cutting ties with Xbox, and says it'll make Brütal Legend 2 if it raises an impossible-sounding $100 million. https://bit.ly/4gK2wXK

I recently had a wild dream about a pair of pajamas that I’m now on a mission to make a reality. Custom fabric and pattern obtained!! I can’t wait.

Can we add on laundering the sale of the Orlando Creative Village project real estate to fund his senatorial run and Rubio's presidential run? Those were supposed to be our college grad jobs we worked hard for you weasels.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

I was able to make Krampus' Bad Fur Day FREE ALL WEEKEND in the US (apologies to all other regions). Please grab it and read it to your kids. Read it to people who don't feel beautiful. Read it to your friends. Read it to anyone who needs to feel good 👹 www.amazon.com/Krampus-Bad-... #booksky

Security doesn't do anything at Koelnmesse. We had to stop a thief ourselves last year, giant bag of looted stuff in hand, and security just let him go after we got far enough away. This sucks, and the venue should be requiring locks if they're not providing real security. Sorry guys.

Today at gamescom we arrived to our station in the business area hall to discover that our two laptops had been stolen over night, despite the presence of Koelnmesse security. We ask that anyone who may have information about what happened to please reach out to us.

I hope Dolly Parton and Betty White are having a great time together up there.... I hope to grow up to be like them. 💔

Dolly really touched and saved more lives than anyone can ever measure. What a beautiful being.

Chise@sailorrooscout.bsky.social · last wk.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

South of Midnight is 35% off for the first time on PS5, until tomorrow! We’re indie again, and every purchase directly supports Compulsion and our next project.❤️

Am I allergic to bibles, tornadoes, or both? We may never know.

What's your favorite acting role by a singer? It's been awhile since I've seen the movie but I remember being absolutely floored by Hudson's performance in Dreamgirls when it came out.

Will Kerslake@wkerslake.bsky.social · 2w ago

What's your favourite acting role by a singer? Bowie as Tesla & Goblin King are clear favorites Honorable Mentions: - Ice-T as sentient Kangaroo in Tank Girl - Henry Rollins ranting in Johnny Mnemonic - Shirtless Sting in Dune - Tina Turner running bartertown in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

if you're an indie dev flying into Köln who'll be pitching all week at gamescom: I'll be sitting down around the corkonian for most of the day (from like 1030-11ish to 17ish, with a curry wurst break at some point) to chat or do some deck reviews or answer some questions!

Given the U.S.’ abhorrent and completely unjustified attacks on Canada that are hurting so many Canadians *and* Americans while destroying many, many years of friendship, I thought I’d reshare some cool Canadian games that deserve support. 🧵 🍁

Canada rarely gets to play itself -- these games are changing that

From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, here's how developers are representing Canada in their games.

South of Midnight is a master class in cultural appreciation

I’m a French Black woman whose favorite game of 2025 was not Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And how could it be, when South of Midnight was released around the same time?

Turns out the economy is just an MMO run by and for the worst kind of people

Criterion's K-POP DEMON HUNTERS release is targeting a generation just discovering the wonders of collecting physical media at a time when physical media companies need it most, while also introducing their catalogue to young movie lovers. This is a genius move. Get the kids into Criterion!

Games are only played at night. Caddies are now familiars. Capes. Everyone in capes. Sink it? Hole sprays out a fountain of celebratory blood that all participants are then required to dance in, Blade style.

Control is an astoundingly good video game.

Anyways, I believe that character sexualization should be an equal opportunity ball game and isn’t always a bad thing, full stop.

You and I — all of us taxpayers — funded this $533 million artillery plant outside of Dallas. It hasn’t produced a single usable shell. Yet the defense contractor, General Dynamics, has never been held publicly accountable. Nor has it had to pay a penny back… 1/
