I looked away for one second and someone in the Fire Emblem pulls out a glock. Get it girl.

I want to replay Xenoblade 2 but I also don’t want to put myself through listening to this thing. Throw all Nopons into a volcano.
The reveal trailer already looked like it was packed with a load of poorly AI generated assets and this just proves it. You own the model and the franchise you dumbasses make something real.

So my GP is pretty sure I've got BPD/EUPD but you have to go through a bunch of hoops to get diagnosed here in the UK. On the bright side I've been on Venlafaxine for about a month now and it's doing miracles for my anxiety and not feeling like an eternal pit of despair all the time. JOY IS BACK.

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.
I've been left to my own devices way too much lately so I wrote about Digimon, English dubs, and the neverending battle between authenticity and nostalgia when it comes to franchises like this one. www.thegamer.com/the-digimon-...
Early on in my transition I remember being chased into the women's toilets during a preview event and the PR doing everything in their power to find out who did it. Behaviour like this is only going to harm both cis and trans people, and it's rhetoric that sadly won't stop spreading.
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · last wk.And, you know, trans people ffs
If you're a trans person in England (or the parent or guardian of a young trans person in England) I strongly recommend doing this immediately. The new data principles for the shared NHS record in England - based on the transphobic and psuedoscientific Sullivan Review - are designed to out us.
notorious transfem supremacist@takeyourpillsalice.bsky.social · last wk.You can opt-out of having a shared NHS record. I opted out over a decade ago now and it has never affected any of the medical care I receive except having to give new doctors a list of my medicine because they can't pull it off my GPs system. www.nhs.uk/using-the-nh...
I'd never even heard of Final Sentence before @mikedrucker.bsky.social wrote about it this week but now I need to play it immediately. A dystopian battle royale game all about writing away on typewriters until someone blows your brains out is such a cool concept. www.thegamer.com/final-senten...

I love Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth despite its many flaws but as I replay it for the first time since the review one moment that the original does SO much better is Cosmo Canyon. There is far more emotion in the music, dialogue, and sheer tragedy of Red XIII discovering the truth about his father.
Casey Explosion (one of my favorite curators) does a thread of other, excellent curators, many of whom have also ended up showing me some of my favorite hidden gems on Steam. Give all these folks a follow!!
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · last mo.There's other folks who do Steam sale recommendation threads, and you should perhaps check them out because they cover a lot of extremely neat looking games that I haven't played, so you'll get a wide variety of deep cuts and sicko picks to delight you. First off, Dominic Tarason's big ass thread:

Due to the help of so many wonderful people, we are incredibly close to our goal! You helped us get to Maryland, helped us bring our belongings, helped us get an apartment, and more. If you help us get to the goal this week, we can make a downpayment on a car so I can get to and from work.

Today in things I ordered months ago and forgot about - a gorgeous Japanese limited edition of Hi-Fi Rush 🎸
The camcorder sequences in Edgerunners 2 feeling like ultra violent VHS anime OVAs from the 80s and 90s is a real stroke of genius. It's going to recontexualise the greed and violence of Cyberpunk's world in such a compelling way. I may have also fallen into a retro anime hole recently...
I'm still toying around with the brightness settings to find the right sweet spot but man the difference when using the new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth shader mod is wild.
Lonely the Brave getting back together with their original lead singer is such wonderful news. Ticket to their Cambridge gig secured 🎟️ A band I listened to a lot with my late brother and extensively after he passed, so they will always have a spot in my heart ❤️ open.spotify.com/track/0HHlrH...

I'll take this a step further: what we think of as random is rarely if ever random at all, and the pursuit of true randomness has led to plenty of sleepless nights for physicists and engineers for centuries.

I keep seeing this video thumbnail where the dude is holding up a stray kitten like a treasure in Zelda.
I won't be at gamescom this year but I will be at AEW: All In. So who is the real winner here? Jokes aside I'll hugely miss catching up with people and chatting with devs, but will find another time to do so! ❤️ (been getting loads of appointment emails so apologies for any radio silence on my end)
