New year, new thread. List of games I've beaten in 2026, now with arbitrary scores! 🙃

FFS any of us in tech are fucked

That acid planet can kiss my galactic sized ass.

Let's just get it over with now.

To kick off SuperPod Spooktober, @tonygearsolid.bsky.social wrote about Sweet Home for the Famicom! #blog #retrogaming #horror #capcom Check it out 🪐 superpodnetwork.com/posts/sweet-...

I'm happy to introduce my new NES homebrew game, Ranaga! It's an arcade-style vertically scrolling shooter featuring randomized waves of enemies. See how long you can survive! Programmed in assembly without any generative AI! You can download it and play it for free at arnpoly.itch.io/ranaga

Got the true ending in Curse of Belmont. What a great metroidvania. Maybe not the old castlevania some folks wanted, but the game on it's own was awesome.

My first five ttrpgs in the order I played them: 1. AD&D 2. Rifts 3. Ninja & Superspies 4. D&D 3rd *Decade gap later* 5. D&D 5th

Why does it run worse in my browser?!

Maybe this is more sharable, but here's AgenticAlert. Alerts you if the repo/project uses genAI. Great if you: * Are tired of everyone hyping slop projects * Are tired of genAI in your #recomp / #decomp scene * Are #noAI * Use a browser Protect yourself against AI slop garbage today.

Pretty rad project. Gotta celebrate the real fan works.

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

🫤 SORRY 😞 We can't tell you why we watched The Emoji Movie other than sheer morbid curiousity. It didn't kill us, but it also didn't make us stronger. Please listen to this episode and learn from our mistakes. 😑☹️😔Listen Now😞🙁😖 finetime.transistor.fm/episodes/the...

Oh hey, thanks for yet another reason to not buy EA Games. I know BioWare has changed so much over the decades, but damn this sucks.

🔥🔥 NEW PODCAST EPISODE 🔥🔥 On this episode Bill and Thrak are once again joined by @shnickerman.bsky.social this time to discuss the Warhammer 40K game Space Hulk: Vengeance Of The Blood Angel’s a Tactical FPS! #superpodnetwork the3doexperienc.transistor.fm/episodes/the...

Steam Machine was just the canary telling us how shafted gamers are. Sony won't be any better. Prepare to cobble together a PC and skip consoles next gen, it's just better value.

I'm not touching Steam NextFest this round or again. At least not until Valve let's me filter or flag entries that use GenAI. Looks like there is a new personalized list feature coming next week? Not the same tho

This week Jake runs down the games he's beaten in 2026, and whether they are worth playing or possible Game of the Year picks. Never been a better year for gaming... well at least till next year 🙃 👀 www.youtube.com/live/adL3ESM... 🎙️ pressbtocancel.com/episode/a758...

Fusing retro inspired pixel art gameplay with live action action cutscenes. Tenebris Somina published by @newblood.games is an interesting combo. Chard gives a preview of this survival horror mash up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UY4...

Chard tries out a new Indie game Time To Wake from @eyeblinktwice.bsky.social Up. A psychological horror thriller game with a cool environment twist to solve puzzles. Does it land in Chard's horror wheelhouse? www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Zr...

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

I played a couple more races. I've seen enough.

Asking for invention of new IP when you canned/split from several studios. Asking for courage when teams face layoffs even when a game does well.

The children yearn for more recycled Shrek. THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

🗡️ BUMP COMBAT 🗡️ Witcher 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, the prospect of a new Ape Escape, a taste test of Kraft Dinner Cream Soda, Place Your Bets, and lots more on this here new Big Deal for the people. Listen Now 🎙️ finetime.transistor.fm/episodes/fal...

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Less than a day till Castlevania, that demo is SO great. Saw the gameplay options and tried amped up player damage given and taken to x2 and it's a much faster paced game.

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

You can sum up Rowling's bigotry and hatred in a couple tweets. You don't need to platform her with two hours on the BBC.

Castlevania is back in a big way and the Belmont's continue to kick serious Dracula ass! My review for @consolecreatures.com:

Really going out of their way to avoid saying "AI" when we all know this is for AI.

The only ROMs (if any) on these things are the same 100 bootleg busted trash games no one plays. If the concern is consumers using copyrighted ROMs on their own devices privately than boy the ESA better not look at the phone app stores.

had i known this feature would close the curtain on 20 years of EGM i might have pitched something a little more substantial

Please send me any Galactic Racer or Dragons Dogma 2 clips thank you gamers.

I am sad I won't have time to collect moonflesh for the sentient ship.

Great article. Unions are important, now more than ever, but their formation is complex for so many reasons.

After a solid month of work, this is finally complete! I don't often take sponsored content but this was an exciting chance to speak with some legendary talent and showcase elements of its development! Give it a look!

Between Valheim and Witcher 3 I'm not likely to finish a game anytime soon. Had a pretty decent games beat streak going there for awhile 😵 Maybe Galactic Racer 🤔

How I arrived on BlueSky

I've spent ten hours with Order of the Sinking Star, and walked away with complex feelings and four incredible other puzzle game recommendations. https://kotaku.com/i-love-intricate-puzzles-but-jonathan-blows-latest-block-pusher-is-complicated-2000741133
