God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

The Tetris Company has condemned a Tetris clone called Build the Wall, which was posted on the White House website. The company says it's against dividing people and "takes copyright infringement very seriously". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-tet...

Thanks @rotopat.bsky.social’s boy Miles Mikolas with a pinch RBI-bunt for ending the Nationals losing streak.

The truth is for sale. Science has been politicized. We are fucked unless something changes.

YES!

Libraries are supposed to be safe spaces for all.

If 2026 can defeat Chuck Norris, we're totally screwed.

the video game industry is a mess

🚨🚨IT IS BASEBALL SEASON

I still remember the press conference these two cartoon network guys gave about their own arrest on terrorism charges where they insisted on only talking about hair cuts, hair styling, and hair in general. lots of "I'm sorry but this question also isn't about hair"

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

🚨 BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all NYC students to carry a 3DS.

“Our talented team with its own human hands and brains and souls decided that all this shitty art made by a computer was good enough to go in our game” is not a good defense of using AI tools to generate assets.

GameCube 2: HyperGameCube

Death by Scrolling, my game with @grumpygamer.com, is out! It’s a vertically scrolling arcade roguelite with a sense of humour. Grab it on PC now - with console coming soon!

Some mornings, you just need to skank to 90s ska in the living room.

I’m gonna say something controversial: I actually don’t think chickpea anxiety is real

All the world’s a game.

Science has always won in the long run.

The longer you live, the more time people have to disappoint you.

Happy 64th Birthday to legendary Nintendo Composer, Koji Kondo! His first game for Nintendo was Punch-Out in 1984 and his latest game was Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023. He's currently a senior manager in the EPD Sound Group. Nintendo's internal team of 40+ composers.

Forget it, Jake. It’s preseason.

Public broadcasting is important.

A classic.

Insanity now, Insanity always.

my god i'm hard to shock but holy fuck

Polygon has done consistently great work for more than a decade. I’m heartbroken for the folks who worked there and profoundly sad for the entire industry.

Business Dummies who don’t understand the culture of the creative businesses they run are always going to make the wrong business calls, and they will swiftly be proven to be dummies when they are abandoned by the accrued audience, destroying the business. None of it’s new, But it is exhausting.

I think Kinda Funny becomes more impressive by the year. The way they’ve kept a crew together and grown and kept it independent is awesome. We had to sell the company to the very thing we were trying to escape. Different times and different options, but they’ve succeeded where we failed.

People have been trying to deny science for thousands of years. It never works out in the long run. Science is fucking real. #ScienceIsReal youtu.be/ty33v7UYYbw?...

letting your bullpen sustain a 7.47 era for a full month is bad enough, but letting them sustain a 7.47 not having even a single player ritualistically dfa’d is even more of an in insult

The disorientation will continue until morale improves

Peasants: WHY'D YOU TURN OUR EARS INTO FISHES? Jesus: Dang it was supposed to be loaves not lobes, wasn't it? Peasants: WHAT? Jesus: "WHAT?" lol

It looked like an optical illusion live, but the line drive to left yesterday that Alex Call “misplayed” into a 3-run triple legitimately changed directions mid-air. Was hooking to the left off the bat, then sliced to the right. That was one magic loogie.

It’s time

*Furiously tapping sign*

It’s gonna be a long year again, Nationals fans.

Until next spring … 🤞
