Eyes up, Spartans! The Halo Retrospective is here, just in time for Bungie Day! youtu.be/XFvtvZICwNI

Check this out if you want to read a bunch of ex-journalists' thoughts on the current (gestures to the smoking crater) state of things, and also me being very very nostalgic about the games magazine era

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Ey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov you gonna do ANYTHING to stop this??

In Jared Kushner, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman found an American partner he could steer in whichever way he wanted.

oh sure, but when i start waving a gun around outside a cheesecake factory for religious reasons everybody starts screaming and calling it “reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon”

Algebra, numbers, principles of optics, medical encyclopedias, astronomy, hospitals, surgical tools, universities, coffee, lab chemistry--all of Arabic origin. This mfer had a brain worm, collects road kills, sounds like a dial up modem, works out in jeans. This is a uniquely American arrogance.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

Where’s the woman who made the Pepe Silvia Sweet Baby Inc George Soros schizophrenia board right now

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

NON BRASILIANS FROM BSKY WE NEED YOU TO SPREAD THIS MESSAGE. THERE'S A COUP D'ETAT HAPPENING IN BRASIL RIGHT NOW! THE PEOPLE POWER GOT SO STRONG THEY TOOK DIRECT ACTIONS TO SABOTAGE THE ELECTIONS SPREAD. THE WORD. NOW.

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

Tama's retrospectives are great and I was lucky enough to be the script doctor on this one. Check it out!

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

I ordered the Blu ray for the documentary Mother to Earth two weeks ago. It allegedly should have been delivered 4 days ago. FedEx tracker shows this. Did anyone else have to wait so long for their copy?

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

I think we found the worst animated thing ever

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Gonna be wrapping up Bastok's storyline with @eyesonbee.bsky.social on her stream right now! #FinalFantasyXI www.twitch.tv/eyesonbee

Took about three years, but I managed to get my Shenmue discs autographed by the actors who played the character on the respective game discs! Corey Marshall, Ruth Hollyman, and Paul Lucas were incredibly kind! 🙏🙏

I still think AI systems should be paying me 150k per copyright violation. People keep asking me 'what laws do we need for AI?' and I keep saying 'enforce the fucking ones we already have!' There are copyright laws that should be being enforced right now that just... aren't. B/c it's billionaires.

Maxis fucking prints money. They do it cheap and they crank out packs and updates on the regular, and Sims fans devour them. They are the proverbial cash cow. So why lay those people off when you're trying to cover an $18 billion buyout debt? This is why leveraged buyouts should be illegal.

You can take this energy to other platforms too and block those interview/podcast/TV clipper accounts on Reels etc

Meet the baby I’ve been cooking up for the last year. Out next summer. Pre-orders soon!

Getting tired of the "You have to know the mobile games" talking point for Kingdom Hearts III. No, you don't. Everything you need to know for KH3 from there is in Back Cover, which is in the collections. As for KH4? We'll see how much that knowledge is necessary in the moment.

FedEx's tracker is absolute fucking garbage

This article came out six weeks ago, there's enough public evidence that @foreignpolicy.com let me say "bribed" without caveat, and still, the new Kushner revelations show he was BRIBED. Directly bribed. Right into secret foreign accounts bribed. Massively corrupt, ultimately world-changing bribes.

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy And they were right But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

Casual reminder to Democrat politicians that even the majority of conservative voters don't really seem motivated to vote based on hating trans people. And if they did they certainly wouldn't vote for you. So all you do in opposing trans rights is lose voters.

genuinely insulting how studies and surveys routinely find how paying for basic human needs has no downsides for both governments and businesses and both routinely plunge their heads in the sand as it rots around them

Outta my sight, scrub

please help support my boyfriend!!!!!!

inventor of the blu-ray and blu-ray player has discontinued their industry leading product, the blu-ray

its very telling that critics in more left leaning spaces are obviously bummed out about corporations destroying the teams that worked on games they were often heavily critical of whereas grifters are reacting to bioware, 343 etc as personal victories in the war against blue hair and pronouns
