I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

🚨 First the social media ban, now the government wants to restrict VPNs 🚨 VPNs are a vital cybersecurity tool for businesses, politicians, journalists and families to protect data and communications. Banning or age-gating VPNs would increase cybercrime risks and expose IP addresses to predators.

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.

We have no money. You know this. Why do you keep asking why we’re not doing things we used to do? It’s because we have no money. We. Have. No. Money. We have no money. There is no money left. It’s all gone. None of us have it. No money. Nope. Money gone. We don’t have it. No.

What's the secret to Final Fantasy VII Revelation only taking three years to make? A consistent vision and retaining 95% of their staff. I spoke to director Naoki Hamaguchi about Revelation's development, what he's doing next (no more remakes!), and much more. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Trying to run a video game business during these tricky times while the company that owns you is directly contributing to making these tricky times so tricky seems like a dumb way to do this, I don't know.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

Idk if I’ll be up in time for the Direct so I guess I’ll put on my Ace Attorney clown makeup tonight before bed and then determine if the direct is good or not based on if things explode in my mentions

I think the thing that really can't be overstated with the Stranger Than Heaven casting stuff is that even outside of the moral side of it, it is ultimately a tacky as fuck and lame as shit move from a studio that built 20 years of branding around being cool.

@kriswolfhe.art I think this might be worth a read because the CEO is the most sane I've seen as he describes that the following games with be cheaper with less time to make as they iterate on what they've built like they did with Hitman. The exact same thing FF7R did.

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Not about anything in specific but I think we gotta be really careful about not conflating the concept of "enshittification" with the impulse to assume that everything was always better during your adolescence
