rest in peace, Dolores Huerta

I know there have been several Nintendo Indie World showcases in the last year, but it's nice to watch them without people wanting to see Silksong, and being disappointed when it doesn't show up. There is still some kind of DLC update coming, though, so that may not be the case for much longer.

Oh that cleans everything up. Thanks

one way you can tell tech companies know their AI sucks is they keep preventing you from turning it off

You may think I plan my Final Fantasy XIV articles out so that the titles work. I do not! I make them up as I go along and then come up with the titles after.

Look, I’m just going to pretend I didn’t see this. And if I remember it against my better judgment, I’m going to say he was joking. It’s too depressing otherwise. kotaku.com/zero-escape-...

stole this from the other site because it made me fucking die of laughter

Yamazaki is moving fast if he plans to have this Grandgear film out a little more than a year after Godzilla Minus Zero. There's also the question of whether he can do something on par with the Godzilla films, but I'm confident. deadline.com/2026/10/sam-...

ICYMI I wrote about how video game demos could be in trouble thanks to people using generative AI to make bad clones, which goes doubly for those from smaller and indie developers, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/10/cogn...

I let out an internal "What?" before remembering that these are just the kinds of sizes new AAA games come at now.

the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

I'm not sure why I thought the stuff about Nicki Minaj being a potential press secretary for *this* White House was a joke for even a second, knowing the absurd timeline we're on. Even if she's only on the podium for a few days as a "guest," it's bound to happen.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

RIP

30 years of raiding tombs, happy 30th Tomb Raider.

Man, it sure feels like we're saying "RIP" a LOT these days. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-10...

The box office returns this weekend suggest that word of mouth caught up with the Street Fighter movie after last weekend, but... maybe they’ll go through with a sequel or two for the hell of it. There’s a good chance, considering who’s running Paramount and who it stars. www.ign.com/articles/the...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

ICYMI Last night's Short Adventure livestream announcement on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social has been updated with the YouTube VOD. I made it out of the forest and into the next town, where I get suckered into doing a dungeon for the guild's receptionist. www.dcgameblog.com/2... #IndieGame

Went back to the bird hellsite to get something I made when my friends and I watched the '95 Rayearth anime

There was still a part of me hoping the news about Eric Bauza's passing was a hoax, but I guess it's official with the trades now reporting it. RIP. It's very frightening to see someone go out at a relatively young age.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Eric Bauza has passed away.

"I ain't reading all that" has peaked. Also: Bill Maher deserves this.

Tonight I play Short Adventure. A cool indie RPG developed by a friend of mine. www.dcgameblog.com/l... Twitch: twitch.tv/damagecont... youtube.com/live/jLn... #TwitchAffiliate #Livestream

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL! Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred! May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them

Sorry guys, I'm pushing tonight stream back. I'll be going live at 9:30 ET.

A24 has drifted pretty far from being a niche, arthouse studio when they’re giving around $200 million (!!) to an Elden Ring film, and that’s *before* marketing costs. This movie might have to be their highest-grossing film to break even. insider-gaming.com/a24-elden-ri...

I'm streaming more Short Adventure for @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social tonight. Join me at 8 ET as I make way through the forest and reach the town of Raldin. Will there be whammies? Only time and this stream will tell. Come and hang out!

Apparently Final Order Cutoff for my mega-sexy variant cover for Catwoman #93 is tomorrow!!! Get your preorders in - you DEFINITELY want this cover!!! 😎😎😎☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

ICYMI I wrote about the high expected prices for the next-generation Xbox (and PlayStation) consoles, and how this will make PC gaming more enticing despite the slightly higher cost involved, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/10/the-...

I know there’s a trend with manga adaptations ending with anime movies, but I didn’t expect Kaiju No. 8 to be among them with the number of chapters left. Maybe it’s a series of them, because they’re not really jamming 53 chapters into a single film… right? www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-10...

no one cares about trans women in women’s sports and you are, most generously, the worlds biggest idiot if you take it at face value as an earnest concern had by real voters

Now that I’ve watched Obsession, I can seriously understand why the “Freaky Nikki” addition to Fortnite weirded some people out. It’s a step short of “Nikki, I need you to distract Doom” on the ludicrousness scale.
