Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

The infamous "WET YOURSELF..." Super Mario Sunshine print ad is often posted online without context, leading many to believe it is fake or fan-made. However, it is very much real, appearing on page 130 of issue 119 of the British Nintendo Official Magazine.

Well deserved! It's really an impressive remake of a very unique game. I'm excited for the upcoming remake of Romancing Saga 3 but I don't like that it's only 2 days before Persona 4 Revival.

They didn't give Femshep different dialogue or animations from the ones designed for male Shepard, so she talks like someone who expects to be listened to and moves like someone unafraid to take up space.

That could be awesome!

This is one of the few, rare times a studio closure has had an emotional impact on me. I grew up playing Bioware. Put more hours than I can remember into Baldur's Gate, NWN, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Dragon Age, Mass Effect...basically shaped my gaming years. I am dead inside. RIP Bioware 💔

Wishing you good luck & spreading the news.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This is how Democrats should have been speaking to Trump for the past decade. Finally.

If you can still pick up a downed body, use them as a meat shield, and relentlessly hump them against a wall, then Gears of War is not woke sorry

Lanterns finale was nothing that I was expecting. Such profound writing and dialogue this finale landed so hard with me without throwing a single punch. It’s easily my favorite show of 2026.

"Halo has fallen so far that, yes, even a new team under Activision now sounds more exciting to me than another Halo Studios game". Massive layoffs, years of mismanagement, and games launching half‑complete have pushed Halo to a breaking point. This new team might be the only path forward.
