Nautical Nonsense is (Not) Something You Wish

Help, I recently decided to go bald and my partner keeps rubbing my head and going "SCRATCH-O, HEY!"

None can stand before John Rod #jojolands #ジョジョランズ

This new Stand from the latest JoJo chapter is killing me. Only Araki could make one line look like a guy with shoulder pads with his hands in his pockets.

remember, society under capitalism (especially american capitalism) mainly functions as a punishment for the crime of being born

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

Nicolas Fulghum@nicolasfulghum.bsky.social · 4w ago

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

look as much as i would love a new obsidian fallout the cost is too great obsidian and bethesda both have just had major layoffs do to the xbox restructuring i hope that the remaining devs are at least treated well and compensated fairly but genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK MICROSOFT

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Xbox wants to have one BILLION active daily players. This is Steam's current daily players according to SteamDB. Xbox wants to have over 20x the daily active users as Steam, which I guess they're expecting to just materialize out of the ether after massive layoffs. This is completely delusional.

Christopher Dring@dringo.bsky.social · last mo.

Big cuts, but Xbox has managed to avoid closing any studios today. Double Fine and Compulsion go indie. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will have new owners. Arkane Lyon process starts today. CEO Asha Sharma wants Xbox to reach 1bn players a day (it currently hits 1bn a year).

Look at the history of any big game development icon and you'll see a string of small roles in small projects, and often failed projects too, but it was the luxury to learn from those roles that made them who they are. Once they retire, they'll leave no successors because they keep getting fired.

Xbox is preparing to lay off around 3,200 individuals, part ways with Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, and possibly Arkane Lyon in what CEO Asha Sharma is calling "the most significant res... https://kotaku.com/xbox-layoff-3200-most-significant-restructure-history-2000712836

Dude!!! Look out!!!

I may not like the heat, but one thing I love about summer is that all the cool bugs come out. Found this really big beetle in the backyard. He was a big softie and hung out with me for like 10 minutes. Spoilered for people who don't like bugs.

crazy to think that the root of the market dominance that's letting Sony do that is this video

If I don't have the option to physically own the games that I buy, I genuinely have no reason to buy your console. I put up with digital games on PC because my PC has other uses. If you reserve the right to turn the machine I bought that ONLY plays games into a useless brick, I'm not buying it.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles. "Physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028." https://ow.ly/3NSn50ZjcKP

Friendly reminder

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.
