A dark day for gaming

@taranarmstrong.bsky.social Hey Taran! I just wanna say that I love your book. The audiobook has been great and it is so well written. We followed a similar trajectory with the show and it has been great listening to your insight. I’m a librarian and I’m going to make sure we get a copy for patrons!

@grubb.wtf I hope you guys are covering this arcade.gov BS on Game Mess tomorrow!

Well that Nintendo direct was fucking amazing

@tolkoto.com Mike new Alarmo update just dropped!

I better not see people out here defending Nvidia. I hope all the people typically against Ai, like @giantbomb.bsky.social, are calling this shit out.

Fuck Nvidia. Seriously.

Supremely disappointed in @digitalfoundry.bsky.social for the shilling for DLSS 5’s Ai bullshit

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Incredible how quickly CBS was able to nuke and ruin an entertaining Big Brother season. #BB27

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Who is paying for all of Botox Barbie’s cosmetic procedures n hair extensions? Yep, American’s tax $$$! I want a tax refund from all this waste n fraud we have paid for! #arrestnoem #notofascism

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Trump Reek in the Press Corps asking him about being dead actually isn't the slamdunk MAGA thinks it is. Trump responding to it puts it in the mainstream conversation now and puts focus back on his health...and his ankles...and his palm... Genius move, MAGA. Thank you.

What are they pumping into Donald Trump right now to give him energy to do this press conference that was scheduled for 2 pm but still hasn't started at 2:36 pm? Any guesses? This is what corporate media and MAGA did 24-7 with Biden. Perfectly fair to ask.

This here - is not a conspiracy, will not go viral, but it is real. She was 2. She was killed by Russia.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

New in PN: Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime "The right response to Trump’s authoritarianism isn’t to say 'maybe he has a point.' It’s to attack him and his allies for their dishonesty, their thuggishness, and their failures. That’s how Democrats avoid looking weak."

Days after meeting with the DOJ, Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a less restrictive minimum security federal prison camp in Texas.

Underrated tweet.

We can’t let the Epstein story die. #trumpepstein

So much for that “line.”

If Hamas had just killed an Israeli-American there’d be wall to wall coverage in the US media. But Israeli settlers just killed a Palestinian-American so you’ll read about it at Zeteo but not many other places:

@tolkoto.com Mike what’s your fave Disney Deluxe Resort? My family of three, with my 7 year old, will be doing a week next June with three park days plus epic universe and a day of Disney springs. Which deluxe resort do you prefer?

Big brother is back!

We can be scared. We can feel defeated in this moment. But we will not let them win. We will not resign ourselves to doom. We will not accept this. Even if we fear that the next elections will be rigged or won’t happen, we will fight to the end. Signed, this librarian. #eattherich

NEW: In March, Xbox boss Phil Spencer was so impressed by the demo of a Zenimax game codenamed Blackbird that Matt Booty had to tell him to stop playing so the meeting could continue. Yesterday, they canceled it. Inside one of Xbox's most shocking cancellations: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The pro life party is voting to take healthcare from millions of kids.

• Mamdani is not in the country illegally • He does not have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism • Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic • He did not call to ‘globalize the intifada’ • He’s not a communist

@xboxp3.bsky.social needs to be fired from Microsoft Gaming. Too many people have had to get laid off because of his leadership, because in the end, that’s what it boils down to, his leadership. He needs to go.

Fuck @xboxp3.bsky.social, Sarah Bond, Satya Nadella, and the rest of the @xbox.com leadership team.

Eric Schmitt and Josh Hawley voted to take away healthcare from 300,000 Missourians and close rural hospitals throughout the state.

Torres: "In 2024, 90% of new electricity generation in the US was clean energy. 60% of it is solar. And Republicans are proposing to defund solar and battery storage and wind, which are the leading sources of new electricity generations in the US. It is an act of strategic self-sabotage."

Democrats, learn from Zohran and AOC on how to win over the masses. Look at the messaging. Look at the issues. Look at how they communicate.

NYC better not vote for the sexual predator.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Of course @geoffkeighley.bsky.social would platform MAGA.

Switch 2 is fucking awesome.

Final Fantasy Tactics (Creative Studio 3), out Sept 30th

Honestly just fuck Jake Tapper. Regardless of his stupid book, it’s incredibly insensitive to release it now. Pathetic.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III / The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV - Deluxe Edition (PS5) is $15 at GameStop buff.ly/JomDYUc #ad

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.
