Startup CEO: I am pleased to announce my new company, Terrordactyls. We're going to grow combat pterodactyls in test tubes and train them to attack protestors. We will also engineer smaller pterodactyls that deliver pizza. Investors: Here's five billion dollars

Just wild to think that EA squandered BioWare on multiplayer nonsense for pretty much the entire period CD Projekt was conquering the globe with lavish single-player RPGs.

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.

Twilight Princess inspired art I did recently #LegendofZelda #TwilightPrincess

The OG 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝟮 was released in Japan 25 years ago today! Such a huge game in the horror genre. Great to see the series still going strong now.

The "Adults Only" ranking has been removed from Nighthawks! Everything is set for launch on the 22nd! Phew. What a roller coaster. Thank you everyone for your amazing support while we got this sorted. If you weren't able to wishlist before, now you can! store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

Now that it’s a quarter century later, I feel more comfortable asking a very important question: How does anyone forget 9/11?! That’s not physically possible! That’s not a thing anyone who remembers that day just forgets! Do the people asking that question forget?! If so, that’s messed up!

I can't be the only one to have seen this "It happens on PS5" and immediately think this right now with Sony

Frito Lay, owned by PepsiCo, has hired consultants to examine why people are buying less of their snacks. I can help them with this for nothing. It's because a bag of potato chips isn't supposed to cost $6.00!

Now that #DLSS5 has leaked, all these DLSS5 videos right now are doing stuff like Control… Or Cyberpunk… Or Elder Scrolls… Really guys? Nobody wants to see Banjo-Kazooie in this nightmare fuel but me? DO BANJO-KAZOOIE YOU COWARDS!

Company that union busts and fires its employees and then justifies it by spreading rumors they were leaking stuff are now insisting you have to sympathize with them because it’s heartbreaking what these leakers are doing to their employees.

This is the kind of thing the internet was made for.

I don’t do a lot of TikTok but quite honestly, hats off. A masterpiece

It would be the funniest thing in the world if GTA VI is mid and everyone refuses to move on from V, where they have lived for a decade+. I feel like there's a nonzero chance of this happening, too. The way they've taken all their preorders and haven't shown gameplay... what if it's just so boring

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

I just imagined Nathan W Pyles' aliens having this conversation

Matthew Karch, CEO of multi-studio dev & publisher Saber Interactive, made the odd decision to stand up & shit his pants in front of the entire games industry over an ex-employee criticizing the studios' use of gen AI. My condolences to everyone who has to work around this type of feeble leadership

Lust and Betrayal on the Battlefield: all the elements for live-action FMV medieval drama in Chess Wars (DOS, 1996)

I was diagnosed with colon cancer yesterday BluSky. I think that might be a big life event or something. Unsure how to deal with this on any level. Surly just blasting this out onto my profile is something that makes sense? Why do I feel like I’m about to transform into the “this is fine” meme.

She's just like me

sorry we can't afford to pay workers to make videogames, we threw all our money into a hole . no one likes or wants to use the hole and the hole also makes video games more expensive. the hole also drinks all our water

Would it surprise you to learn that the guy on the left was the source of most of the company’s good ideas and has spent the last five or more years gradually being pushed out by MBA soulsuckers from the American and European offices that drove the company into the ground trying to do Fortnite

Well good thing this isn’t the same company that just removed 551 previously purchased movies from people’s accounts like a week ago

Sony: We're taking away digital movies you bought. No refunds. We're not making physical PlayStation games anymore. We're killing digital games on PS3 and Vita. ...why should I get a PS6 when it comes out then? If you want an expensive digital only gaming device, get a PC!

It’s fucking wild that things have gotten so bad I’m watching the end of console videogames and #PlayStation in my lifetime. Completely preventable. Absolutely absurd. My god. It’s hard to put it all in words.

I think that buying an $80 game that doesn’t come with any physical media containing the game, from a company that makes a million dollars a day from the multiplayer component from a 13 year old game: Is absolutely insane. A level of grift and greed that is unfathomable and unacceptable. #GTA

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

#GameDev While rummaging through the files in #ResidentEvil7 I found this little nugget. The very first moment you are given control, the outside of the car you're driving is a video file. It's a combination of an on-location shot, and a tracked-in composite of the first area.

It’s amazing how much #AI has basically ruined looking up simple tips for games. What the fuck is this, and who the fuck does it benefit?

I’ve decided the new art style for Star Fox is…. …Fine. Kinda weird they keep remaking the first game though I guess.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Okay so here’s my actual Bluesky-is-dying hypothesis: The entire web is dying. Users aren’t going from BlueSky to another site (x/insta/threada/tiktok). Users are going to chatbots. I know traffic to news sites has cratered (like 90%). My hunch is traffic to all the social platforms is down too.

I am currently obsessed about FEMAs WaffleHouse Index and if we’ve ever hit DEFCON WAFFLE. #wafflehouse

In January 2001, in the OPM2 letters page, Kenneth from Denmark saw the future.

like I said, AAA is dead a console should not be going UP in price 5 years later. I dont care that there are RAM shortages. you know what coulda offset the cost of that RAM? the $400 million they flushed down the toilet with Concord, a game no one ever saw or played
