I really like MW4. If you can look past the usual weak points and its contextual baggage (a big ask in 2026), it's a strong reminder of how much better these things can be when the studios are given enough time to cook. My review for @savepointgaming.bsky.social: savepointgaming.co/review/call-...

Ha salido la Ertzaintza a decir que creen que es exactamente igual que lo de Barcelona, así que podemos decir con total tranquilidad que la ultraderecha está organizando ataques de falsa bandera para disminuir el apoyo popular. Ante esto, sabéis lo que toca: ORGANIZACIÓN, ORGANIZACIÓN, ORGANIZACIÓN

This post is unavailable.

La derecha está haciendo campaña asumiendo la derrota y preparándose para el día después. No les decepcionemos.

Vamos a ver, vertedero humano, la cosa no funciona así. Las elecciones se aceptan a menos que se demuestre que hubo trampas y no al revés. Si tú, pedazomierda, crees que ha habido trampas, tienes que demostrar tú que las ha habido, nadie tiene que demostrar lo contrario. Carga de la prueba y tal.

Tenían la hoja de ruta y los trapos sucios listos para 2027 y esto les ha venido extremadamente mal porque los sacas del guion y no hay NADA. Ni hablemos ahora de que el fascismo global va a andar comiendo pinga semanas hasta finales de noviembre. Hay que asegurarse de que pasen la Navidad llorando.

It is completely false that all coders and videogame companies use AI for coding nowadays, but it is true that its usage is way more common than what many people thinks, no matter if it is enforced on them or not.

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

sweats is still my favourite gamer term. can you believe this guy was trying to win the game we’re playing?

Me la pelan estos dos específicamente, pero ding ding este párrafo.

Macarena y Aldo nunca están en la lista de invitados de los Goya pero siempre aparecen en la alfombra roja. A él, que le hubiera encantado ser Albert Serra, le frustra no entender que, aunque pueda ser igual de egocéntrico y antipático, no tiene su talento. www.publico.es/opinion/colu...

Fuse’s Lead Concept Artist on the process of ageing Sebulba: “We’re catching up with Sebulba many years after his race at the Boonta Eve Classic in 32 BBY. His successful racing career is clear from his affluent garments, so it makes sense that he would have an aged rockstar look.”

Remember guys, without Pokémon UNITE, it doesn't mean future Pokémon Presents will have 30 seconds more main series content, it means it'll be 30 seconds shorter.

I'm genuinely shocked that this game is free. It's polished, beefy, seems well designed, and the demo did relatively well on Steam. Sign of the times? Overwhelming competition? Either way, grab it. It's kinda like Darkest Dungeon/Griftlands with Borderlands' setting and sense of humor.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

That’s the thing about Trump. When other people lose they’re losers. If they were winners they’d have won. And we hate losers don’t we folks. It’s only when he loses that he didn’t lose.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Toy Story: Retro Roundup! & Toy Story 3 Complete Edition are a delight. Digital Eclipse's restoration is great, but I was shocked by how well most of these games hold up. TS3 doesn't play like it came out 16 years ago. Unscored thoughts at @gamewatcher.com: www.gamewatcher.com/toy-story-re...

Didn’t think this was a hot take but I don’t think BioWare made a game even remotely bad enough to “justify” it being shut down “BioWare was struggling for years,” yeah, and even its worst games weren’t as bad as some garbage that’s let slide and it’s fucking weird to imply the team “deserved” this.

Look, here's the thing. With layoffs, shutdowns, and GTA coming out in a month: If a game looks cool to you and you have the disposable income: buy it. Don't just cheer on indie games from the sidelines. Don't wait for a sale, or until you have time. Support art that excites you, tangibly.
