I don’t care how good Rick & Morty is, spazzing out in McDonalds and claims from nerds how only intelligent people can appreciate it has ruined it forever. I see goobers wearing t-shirts of it and I assume they are somehow hatched from an egg laid by the guys wearing silk Goku shirts 20 years ago.

Im losing my mind because every glowing review I’ve seen of Halo Campaign Evolved neglects to mention that the game requires a server connection and there is NO offline play. Like WTF man, how you gonna not mention that? One day the game goes offline and you never play it again.

Halo was born from split-screen and LAN parties, so I’d say requiring a Microsoft login to play fails to honor that legacy. And with the state of Xbox who knows where the servers will be in 10 years?

Skybox gave me space to talk about decoupling your enjoyment of video games from the release schedule, by looking backwards at what's new to you. Emulate, mod original hardware, borrow, pirate, I don't care how you do it. There's more to games than a future filled with $1,000 consoles.

when frank of all people - someone who has done more than anybody to take the high road - is telling you this, you know shit is dire. imo it's also a moral dispensation. go crazy out there folks

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

#MediaMonday! This past weekend I picked up a greatest hits vinyl of Scorpions. Hearing “Wind of Change” I get emotional, the image of people helping each other climb over a crumbling Berlin Wall forever burned into memory and inseparable from that song. I long for such hopeful times to return.

Nice to see such a strong showcase from @xbox.com today. As a huge Gears of War fan, I’m very excited for E-Day but also kind of bummed to see it is Xbox exclusive. I worry this will hurt the longevity by limiting the audience. If Gamepass then limits the sales, what’s that mean for the series?

Feels like Gears is being sort of sacrificed to appease a console base that will mostly play it on Gamepass instead of being pushed everywhere as a can’t miss co-op event. I was looking forward to seeing it maybe even get into Switch 2 in hopes of Helldivers-level success.

The co-op shooter market doesn’t have many games that offer a 4p campaign or something even close to a 12p Horde mode. It’s a shame to see it limited in its reach.

I say this a lot but it bears repeating: the best thing Twitter did was let everyone talk back to media people who have never been talked back to before, on a service they were maniacally obsessed with and couldn’t bear look away from, even as they drove themselves more and more insane looking at it

the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

I went to The Backrooms today and had a pretty good time! Obsession is still my favorite movie of 2026 but Backrooms delivered what I was hoping for. Very cool to see such interesting stories being told in horror the last few years! Good Boy, Weapons, Sinners, and now these!

Hard to see the Steam Deck price increase along with the previous console increases and not think next gen is about to grind to a halt.

Wario64@wario64.bsky.social

Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US • 1TB OLED $649 -> $949 • 512GB OLED $549 -> $789 still out of stock store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Impossible to expect the dumb shit that makes me laugh to go over with anyone else, but I just saw a woman with ridiculous cleavage and to the tune of Gina X Performance’s “Nice Mover” my brain just went “Niiiiiice booo baaaa”

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

Who the fuck wants to WATCH podcasts? It’s just people sitting there, talking. I got shit to do, man! Let me listen while I’m busy. If I got time to sit on a couch I’m not spending it watching a fucking podcast!

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

@jronald13.bsky.social I saw your callout to Xbox owners about the 360 backward compatible issues but I don’t have an X account so I thought I’d try you here. I’m one of the more frequent posters on the Reddit thread for the issue and have provided the support team with lots of material.

“Report a problem” footage, phone-shot footage, and screenshots have all been provided over the course of a few chats with agents in the last two weeks. Happy to talk with you or give you whatever else you need on this!

Glad to see the Michael Jackson biopic getting scores like 3/10. I’d rather watch a biopic on that chick who does the p-p-p-p-party till I die song.
