Despite a report this morning, I can confirm that Obsidian is *not* in negotiations to avoid shutting down. Plenty of details are still up in the air surrounding the layoffs (picture will be clear on Monday) but Xbox is keeping Obsidian, according to people familiar with the situation.

Podcast was uploading to YouTube while I went to the movies to see Disclosure Day, for some reason it didn't finish, so I had to start over. Going to be a bit. Sorry! In other news Disclosure Day was awesome. Spielberg is the GOAT
I've seen this everywhere today and I'm GLAD. This is the truth, the energy, and some white people need to be delivering the same speeches.
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
I had an idea for a shirt that signifies the impact Ram prices have had on everything, and I ran the idea past @techdweeb.bsky.social He nailed it! If you want one, you can get them here ➡️ nerdnest.dashery.com
@skillup.bsky.social was that a super subtle West Wing reference in your Forza 6 preview?
This looks very clever.
The next upcoming thinky puzzle game published by Draknek & Friends is @danga.games's He Who Watches. A first person puzzle game about walking on walls, manipulating gravity, and discovering secrets. Check out the trailer and wishlist now on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/1070500/...
I'm mostly convinced we're heading towards a video game crash, the lines can't go up forever, and these companies can only fire so many people. Sure they can try to AI themselves out of this, but the tech isn't there, and even if it is, it's just regurgitated bullshit. People want art, not slop.

With rumors that the re-release of End game will have a new post credit scene I was thinking. Since endgame ended with the sound of Tony building his armor. What if it shows Victor building his armor but flashing between Tony and Victor on each hammer strike.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
