Sorry pal: neither Nintendo nor Sony "made" your favorite game. A group of people working there at that time did. Game companies aren't one single dude making every decision and doing all the work. Stop treating companies as people or a single monolithic entity, it's fucking weird.

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

The question isn’t just how much one billionaire pays in taxes. It’s why so much power over technology, resources, and the future of humanity rests in the hands of a tiny oligarchy instead of being democratically controlled by the people who actually make society run.

Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire isn’t a story of one man’s “genius.” It’s a snapshot of a society where unimaginable wealth piles up at the top while millions struggle with rent, healthcare, and basic needs.

Until Dawn 2 spoilers!!!!!

Now that Mina the Hollower is out and I’m playing it, I have zero interest whatsoever in reading peoples’ reactions or opinions on it. Discourse about difficulty and design is exhausting in 2026. My enjoyment with the game is the only thing that matters, and I am enjoying it very much.

Rolled credits on Mixtape last night. I’m glad games like this are still getting made: Vibesy coming-of-age stories set in hometowns with friends, written to have some poignant moments of earnest reflection. Many scenes put a big smile on my face, or made me laugh out loud at the modes of gameplay.

It is not the Coke Freestyle machine that is perverse, but the society in which it lives.

probably not a good sign for humanity writ large to have created a huge financial incentive structure for people to be aggressively antisocial and antagonistic in public for money and make clear that that's a viable career path

People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.

All Hail The New Static

I wonder what Bluesky would be like if we lived in a world without MAGA and Tr*mp bullshit. Like what would people post about

make incompetence shameful again

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

I cannot wait to see what the swine think of these pearls

I would like to unsubscribe from all Pokémon discourse on the internet forever

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

My kingdom for a way to explore/inspect the environments of Silent Hill f in VR.

The level of Gamer Entitlement™️ you see in the comments for each NSO update is incredible. NSO could announce a god-tier slate of games and pissant whiners would only reply “why haven’t you added DK64??” There is just no pleasing these babies. Anyway, all these games rule. youtu.be/6wZZI8a4uDI?...

I don't hate on bad games if they clearly make an effort. I will forever love The Demon Rush for shooting for the moon and blowing its own legs off. But when I see an RPG Maker game proudly announcing that it's part-written by ChatGPT? Fuck everyone involved in that game. Absolute losers.

I long for a time when we had silly goofball movies to watch, and intelligent serious people in power. Now we have intelligent serious movies, and silly goofballs in power.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Between Blippo+ and Silent Hill f, my favourite gaming experiences of 2025 have been all about repeated plays, uncovering new connections and re-interpreting the meanings written between the lines. My favourite discoveries have been stories that are not explicitly shown on screen or in gameplay.

Refuse to be lectured-to about political violence by those who disappear people and kidnap children off the streets.

I think it would be beneficial to everyone if every man woman and child in America put their phones down for a couple days.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

After boarding a bus yesterday, I saw a gormless rube asking ChatGPT where it was going. Blindly getting on a bus and asking ChatGPT where it’s headed is a perfect microcosm of where we are as a society. Especially when buses have readily available route maps for anyone willing to pull them up.

American mainstream political culture makes a lot more sense when you realize that most people's goal is not to improve their own conditions but rather to make the people they imagine to be their enemies mad

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn
