Yeah, I tried having a rational conversation with him and told him this would happen. Also, when something happened with his thumbnails and I alerted him to possible ai tampering, he was immediately defensive of THAT, but didn’t care about the consequences for the subject on the games.

I could spend the rest of my life analysing this feedback sign in the local Home Bargains. Did 'not happy' break from overuse? Was it taped over to ensure 100% positive feedback? Is the green 'b' in 'feedback' some kind of subliminal nudge? Is the duck tape indent because people still keep pressing?

I sometimes worry that nobody outside of the UK will get some of the jokes in Flit... But then I forget about that and go back to writing for "The Manks" and their rivalry with some bloke called Damon. (Ignore the Ape Escape placeholder tune in the background!)

This is not a "you didn't KNOW?" post because I truly envy and respect anyone unaware of Linehan's output BUT he's been EXTREMELY racist for years now. Attacking black actors on his wife's show Motherland as diversity hires; podcast screeds about muslims in Ireland; delighting in Palestinian deaths.

still crack up thinking about this

me: mom, what was I like as a little girl? my mom (completely fucking braindead): hey alexa describe a human kid or something

Not only is Video Game Esoterica (@videogameesoterica.bsky.social) so asleep at the wheel that he's peddling ports with malware in them now, but when called out on that he decides to try and play Internet Tough Guy... then backpedals into "haha you mad 😂" shit. Truly a blight on retro gaming.

im obsessed with this video 😭

No symbols on the BBC? Sure.

the idea that you're allowed to play a game entirely determined by hitboxes, frame data, move properties, etc. and experience the interplay of those with your senses, but you are NOT allowed to document them with numbers and images, is fucking crazy and stupid. get the fuck outta here Capcom

People knew Tim Sweeney sucked even as far back as when they were making Jazz Jackrabbit in 1994.

I think out of all the microgenres that have come out of vaporwave, utopian scholastic has been my favorite. it just hits so good

My expectations were low but holy shit

I'm surprised you could get the shit stains off Adam Michel's teeth long enough to take that picture.

Outta my sight, scrub

Is everyone involved with Bluesky permanently stuck in 2012 or something? Actually yeah no given that most of them are the kind of technolibertarian that everyone thought went extinct via Trump's first term, that tracks.

Indies and original IP blew up in 2026. More than half of the games that sold more than 500,000 units in their first month were the start of a new series, and 43% were indies. https://bit.ly/4i8HKl5

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Aren't you excited for the venture? From 2020 #furryart #art

it's crazy to me that there are so many jobs where the only stated goals is to help people but people who don't care about helping people take those jobs anyways

Video games are art

now look at them yo yos that's the way you do it use number 4 as your private key that aint workin thats the way you do it kill all computers via PHP

It's so fucking depressing at this point. Nothing is cool anymore, nothing is impressive. Just throw enough money into Chud and you get whatever you want out. Usually just wrong enough to bother anyone who actually gives a shit beyond surface level, but close enough to fool 95% of people.

I think the funniest shit is how Sony never tries to reassure people on what they buy. Literally never. They just argue "people know they don't own digital games" and literally never does any actual promises about them
