EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

two of my favorite games ever. two of the best games of the last 11~ years. what an absolute steal of a deal.

Quadrilateral Cowboy & Invisible Inc are in a cyberpunk bundle together! store.steampowered.com/bundle/82990... I'm a big fan of Invisible Inc, what a joy to be bundled together🙏

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Me: The new agent harness is great. You feed your tokens into the machine. Then you run simulations which, if successful, produces tickets. If they fail you have to buy more tokens and keep running the sims. Once you have enough tickets you can redeem them Boss: are you at dave & busters, yes or no

Fun fact: people so often compare the Citizen Sleeper UI layout to Disco but the game’s presentation of text was equally inspired by the elegant Destiny 2 conversation panel that was used extensively through its many seasons.

Well known for this and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE ESPECIALLY NOT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED WHILE FILMING ONE OF THE MOVIES HERE

what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

Every post which begins "it's not about left vs right" goes on to say something which is easily categorisable as either left or right. "It's not about left vs right, it's rich vs poor" Mmm, yes, what could be more neutral than the concept of class war.

I want somethin' else To get me through this

Yeah. Been a while since I got to announce a game. If you're a publisher who wants to make a bunch of money on a revolutionary horror game, you should reach out.

Welcome To The New Apocalypse

we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. futurism.com/artificial-i...

AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt

AI companies are pouring tens of billions of dollars into enormous data centers. They're being built on top of a mountain of hidden debt.

That’s every conspiracy theory. That’s the POINT of conspiracy theory.

“does anyone believe that city-run grocery stores with discounted prices are a good policy idea? what problem do they solve?” my man they solve unaffordable groceries and hunger what in the TBI is wrong with you

They specifically want books before 2022 because they are uncorrupted by AI. They need books that have not been poisoned by the poison they are making. It's just like pre-war steel. They invented cultural radiation.

Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

We gotta kick Palmer Luckey outta retro gaming I’m sick of seeing him throwing his loser ass government contract money around in my hobby

my daughter‘s new bit is pouring out her entire cup of milk onto the floor while looking directly at me and asking “happy like it?”

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

The Star Trek Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds crossover is so good it should be illegal

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.

Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
