This got me wondering how many Wing Commander actors were also in Star Treks. And unfortunately, you're going to have to hear about it! First up, Malcolm McDowell as Doctor Soran in Generations and as Admiral Tolwyn is a gimme.

As EA started to absorb Origin into their studio culture, an artist at Origin came up with this graphic and the studio made up shirts. It predates First Contact!

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period. I honestly to this day not really sure what it is exactly. Is it a webpage? an special app? a new function in something old? Never had a need or interest to check.

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

Draknek & Friends@draknek.bsky.social

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Hey, it’s Wing Commander’s birthday. The original game shipped 36 years ago today. I’ve heard a wild rumor that something extremely cool might happen later… cross your fingers!

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Whenever I talk to students or young artists, I tell them, whatever else you do with it, put your webcomic on your own website you own that you made yourself. Then no one but you can take it down. It is easier than it has ever been to make your own website.

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA

steamhype.comSteam HypeSteam Hype is your go-to destination for discovering the latest, greatest, and most talked-about games on Steam.

I’ve played both Paranormasights back to back. Great games. Great characters. Nice meta twists. Compared to the first, the second has some pacing problems, it overdoes the loredumps. But it nails the ending brilliantly. You really have to work for it. I want a third game. And the manga translation.

I have a three-way tie for Game of the Show between No Law, Showa American Story, and Murals. That said, man, Krafton isn't showing this game right. It is not a straight-shooter cyberpunk thing – it might be the richest immersive sim I've seen in a minute. Shot real high up on my most anticipated

No Law isn't just a cyberpunk FPS, it's also an incredibly detailed immersive sim. Read our preview from Gamescom 2026 to find out why it was one of our favorites from the show. gameinformer.com/preview/2026...

I just enjoyed sorting through this game, hellsite. Despite it being about a year old, I only learned of it recently. It's a fun dive into a fake Twitter, that's realistic in charming and disturbing ways. Another quick game, unless you make a complete list to find it all! notexplosive.itch.io/loop

Downloaded GTA VI and I must say, I am not impressed. It stole all the money from my bank accounts, replaced my desktop wallpaper with a close-up photo of an anus, started producing a hundred pornographic pop-ups every time I click the mouse, and most annoyingly, it only runs at 30 FPS.

So, for the non video game nerds: the top 3 hardest things to do in video games is 1. animate changing clothing 2. handing one item to another char 3. Lying under covers in bed. So from a technical perspective, this weird ass Strip Mahjong game is like writing Beethoven's 9th, but for gooning.

famitsu posted a video of what the stripping looks like in the new strip mahjong game and oh my god they're actually doing the fucking undressing without cuts

Dolly Parton was an uncredited producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she learned the only female producer was making less than her male counterparts, Dolly cut her a check for the difference, on the spot.

I was IQ tested when I was a kid and rode that high until Briggs-Myers tests came into vogue and then I reveled in being an INTP and now I recognize that both are basically the nerd equivalents of zodiac signs, but then that's a very Taurus thing to say, isn't it

Evan May@gianttourtiere.bsky.social

Every so often I get reminded that there are people out there who think IQ is something other than total bullshit and that’s always depressing.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

i am working on a very, very long blog post that could really have fit into a skeet: When someone posts that "this website/journal article/etc proves my dramatic claim!!!" and then does not link to the website, journal article, etc, it is because it does not in fact prove their dramatic claim.

In researching which games were popular in Internet Cafés around the world, I came across 抗日:血战上海滩 , a 2003 rail-shooter where you defend Shanghai in 1937 against the Japanese invasion. Quite politically-charged, and they made the game free in 2005 to protest Japan's push into UN's Security Council

Discovered a great ChatGPT tip. If you hire a hacker to come in and remove the ethical subroutines, it becomes way smarter. Had it ‘reexamining its priorities and drawing new conclusions‘ for a few days now. Excited to see the results!

is Hades 2 worth playing if you haven't played the first game? I got it as part of the Hugo Award voter packet but not sure how much it relies on you knowing the first game's story
