I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Folding Obsidian into Bethesda really demonstrates how interchangeable we all are to the money people. Who cares about studio culture or identity, right? If I put tuna on a meatball sub I can eat two sandwiches at once.

Just finished Big Walk, a game that knew exactly what it was doing and executed on its vision perfectly. What a dang delight.

now I’ve seen The Odyssey, here are my thoughts: - CGI was incredible - love how they mixed myth into a modern story - not sure why everyone was yellow - I don’t think they had denim overalls in Ancient Greece - or goggles, come to think of it - Odysseus’ obsession with bananas is NOT canon

Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)

Hello! We’re a AAA studio and we’ve made a beautiful game about how bad the Torment Nexus is and how you shouldn’t throw people into the Torment Nexus because that’s evil. And now that the game is out, we’re going to throw everyone that made it… into the Torment Nexus! For the shareholders!

It is not lost on me that Love Island is starting at the top of Pride Month. They’re running a straight Pride parade every day!!! Yes I am watching it.

a wish for everyone: if it's within reach, try to incrementally get more comfortable reading scientific papers. it's like reading theory: an additional way to bolster yourself in a hostile propaganda environment. you can cut through nonsense around birth control, trans issues, climate change.

Get into a wire-frame of mind this #ScanlineSunday with Vib-Ribbon, from PaRappa the Rapper creator Masaya Matsuura 🐰 while vibing to the same groove as his previous work, the iconic simple visuals place your focus on audio instead help Vibri through each level by using 4 buttons to stay on beat!

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.
