microsoft funds genocide, fills their dev pipelines with ai slop and throws all the people who actually make the video games into the street. i cannot imagine, even if you are politically sheltered and just want your treats, ever buying and supporting an xbox game. theres no future here

by all accounts this was a disastrously managed production where it only managed to ship at all due to a massive crunch from the staff that remained so this is so cruel. thanks for bailing us out now fuck off

never ship your game. worst thing you can do

My biggest question for Fortunes Weave might just be that when you decide to switch to other Leaders during the campaign, do you get to go back and play their prolouges or any story missions you missed? Or, do you pick them up at exactly that point in the story?

Love the Fire Emblem direct showing Seteth, in a montage about classes where we can see his name and hear his Three Houses voice actor, and they just don't adress it. TALK TO ME ABOUT MY BOY!

Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.

the hank green thing rules dude getting caught out doing one shitty thing and immediately, unprompted, being like i’m so fucked up i have a serious problem i’m not normal i’m in therapy they gave me an intervention can you ever forgive me is like THE classic asshole guy move

i don't believe cowardice is the only reason for amnesty international's decision and that framing is doing JK Rowling's PR for her as this unstoppable legal machine which - when cases are actually challenged in court - is not always true. i think AI leadership is sympathetic to GC orgs and causes

The way Marvel Studios has handled Armor Wars, then Blade, and now Wonder Man is suspect at best. This is right before they turn Doctor Doom, whose racial oppression is the foundation of his entire character, into a white guy. Not looking great!

Alan Wake, the ultimate wife guy.

Name a video game in which the protagonist is married.

Incredible actor, very happy for him.

hm yes let’s ignore BDS and review both the most perfunctory AND most microsoft thing possible, halo. Surely that will save games criticism.

Splatoon raiders came out today. There are so many good shooters. You probably own Halo 1. You do not need to buy a cynical remake made by a company that just gutted its workforce and is complicit in genocide.

Damn that’s cool what happened to the guy who was running their old program www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...

🚨BIG Xbox news. Microsoft is launching Xbox backward compatibility for PC today. The initial preview will include 4 original Xbox games on PC, with plans to bring more Xbox console games to PC over time. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/969117/...

many reasons not to support this all of which the rest of the timeline has covered so i'll just say pretty funny to start this program off like yeah. we got the games that fucking suck

Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 2w ago

XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC announced starting with 4 games: -BLiNX: The Time Sweeper -Conker: Live and Reloaded -Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge -Fuzion Frenzy news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

I'm sorry but Lee fucking Everets actor Dave Fenoy is in Fire Emblem? Thats such a massive get. Honestly, that might have tipped me towards what ever run he appears in, just to hear his voice.

Doomsday looks bad, just play Marvel Ultimate Aliance 3. He even in it in the DLC.

elder scrolls 6 and fallout 5 both being hypothetical games that do not exist announced entirely to scam investors and create false confidence during a critical moment is a pretty darkly funny element to this whole shitshow. its like poetry they rhyme

Hey this thing where they try to jingle keys in your face with new project confirmations to distract from the layoffs is very transparent and sucks.

Don't fall for these jangling keys.... 3200 layoffs across the board this year alone. More will come. @nogamesforgenocide.com BDS Movement is still in effect #NoGamesForGenocide

There are no known consequences at Marvel for pretending to be Japanese. They might even put you in charge of a whole manga division.

🚨 Huge shakeup at Marvel Comics. #Marvel is relocating its comics division from New York to Burbank, naming Stephen Wacker as its new editor-in-chief while C.B. Cebulski moves to a new role overseeing manga and Asia Originals. #comicsky #MarvelComics Details:

There will never be any concequences for Kier's crimes. He will never face judgement for the role he played in a genocide, the trans lives he made worse, the disabled people he hurt. I wish him nothing but sleepless nights and guilt he can't outrun. But in reality, all he'll get is a book deal.

Me five minutes ago- Oh the actor playing Link is in HOTD, and he's a Green. That's fun. Me a minute ago after checking his IMDB- HE WAS FUCKING MILES WINGRAVE IN BLY MANOR?!

WE STAND WITH WORKERS - OUR STRUGGLES ARE CONNECTED After a year of record high returns profiting from genocide, Microsoft announces 20% layoffs in Xbox. No Games for Genocide renews its call to boycott Xbox and divest from Microsoft & Xbox. Sign the pledge: nogamesforgenocide.com

This makes the video where Demi and Greg lament they’re not castable for taskmaster even funnier.

Hello. I am posting the Taskmaster Australia Season 6 cast reveal video for, probably, obvious reasons. it will go to air next year youtu.be/dCG-wpR6_dY?...

The curelty of labour when it comes to the disabled knows no bounds. They want us to be productive and don't give a SHIT if we are comfertable or have any dignity. Fuck Kier Starmer. Fuck labour and every MP who stands by PIP being scraped.

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

OneBGS - Bethesda Game Studios Union@bethesdaunion.bsky.social · 4w ago

Those of us in Rockville were inspired by the Dallas team's vigil for those let go Monday and made our own Celebration of Service. We set it up this morning in the common area of the first floor at 9am today.
