This post might give away what it is so divert your eyes if you haven't watched the video yet, but #2 is also why I've chased that high ever since with games like: Antichamber, Manifold Garden, Superliminal, Viewfinder, Maquette, QUBE, The Witness, and so on. #2 birthed Puzzle Papi.

If you're in San Francisco for Kinda Funny top 100 and want to play Magic The Gathering tonight, DM me and I'll DM you back with a place and time

Eminem killed Jay-Z on Renegade but upon recent relistens, wtf was Jay-Z actually supposed to do? I don't think I've heard anyone flow on a song as well as Em does on that beat.

Hello what are the best weird (and preferably short) indie games this year? Looking for a game or two to boot up on my Switch or AYN Thor during a trip I'm taking

There's a chance I'll have 3-4 driving games on my goty top 10 and realizing maybe I'm really into racing/driving? Maybe I should've been playing Gran Turismo this whole time?

While reviewing this game I kept thinking "they're gonna patch this day 1 to make it easier huh" ALL THAT SUFFERING FOR WHAT

Remedy Entertainment@remedygames.com

For the CONTROL Resonant launch, we are deploying a hotfix to address enemy health pools and Dylan's combat strength. Combat is more dynamic. Upgrading is made more straightforward. More on our blog: https://ow.ly/VEE350ZQXhC #CONTROLResonant

Obviously it's rad that you can make these adjustments and good on them for doing that. But also this fix I imagine would fix quite a few of my issues? Like is a re-review warranted? Should games just not be reviewed until like a week after launch?

On our show today we're going to say this is bad and then Twitter and Reddit will clip it out and everyone's gonna say we have an anti-Xbox bias

Xbox - "Continuing Our Reset" - 'First, we are eliminating 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer.' More: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

I don't mean this as an "I told you so" post but I remember the day they announced the Activision acquisition and I said I was worried because corporate consolation doesn't seem good. People acted like I was insane for saying that. And now people acted like we all celebrated it. And I'm like ???

A Screamer Fortnite skin being announced the same day that I said Fortnite skins don't do it for me is actually really funny. Guess I'm booting up Fortnite

Instead of celebrating that success, I'm mourning the loss of my and many of my talented colleagues' jobs. Please hire them. Please hire me. And please still read and watch our work. Our Steam Frame review is sharp and smartly critical of an extremely interesting piece of technology.

I'm begging you guys to ask for more than "it literally functions"

Review scores aren't real but if we're going to continue to bother can we at least not have 8/10 be attached to games deemed "perfectly serviceable"

His games are very expensive to make and Death Stranding 2 didn't exactly do gangbusters (it sold well, but not extraordinarily). So my read is the number crunchers at Sony just weren't feeling it. That said, you can't only listen to the number crunchers.

Kojima probably wanted to hire RDJ or someone else crazy big for a role and Sony was like nah we good.

When your platform identity hinges partly on the prestige and critical success of your games, you might have to spend some money to maintain that even at the sacrifice of monetary success of individual titles. Because guess what? Physint being a critical darling helps sell the NEXT PlayStation game.

It really feels like PlayStation lost sight of that balance between successful games and beloved games this Gen. They're heavily chasing after one, and it's not working.

YOU DON'T "CONSUME" ART MOTHERFUCKER. YOU EXPERIENCE IT. YOU FEEL IT. YOU ENGAGE WITH IT. YOU WRESTLE WITH IT. YOU LIVE IT. ART ISN'T A LITTLE MORSEL YOU GOBBLE UP.

My biggest problem with this is that a certain section of the audience believes a good review is one that conforms to the general consensus. Somewhere along the line people really lost the idea that not only can they have a different opinion on a piece of media, but differing opinions are exciting.

Hayes Madsen@solfleet.bsky.social

Call me old fashioned, but maybe the point of reviews and critics isn’t just which ones line up with the majority

The absolute best reviews/critism I've watched, read, and listened to have always been outliers and it's because oftentimes they're coming from an enlightening point of view. I wanna know why someone thinks THAT game is a 10/10. Or why THAT game is actually not that great. That's what art does.
