All you gotta do is find the employee that isn’t paid enough to care, and then…

Putting the word “revolution” in quotes says a lot here. Also: stop giving this guy a platform. His whole playbook is “flood the zone” and everyone keeps playing into it.

I always thought "We thought it'd be funny to program our AI using Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler speeches" was pretty far-fetched, but major apologies to the makers of Virtuosity. They really nailed it.

rip in pepperonis, I guess I’ll have to just play all of those GOG and EGS games I got from Prime on a PC now. Or Heroic on Linux. Or Lutris. Or Portmaster. Or an Android phone… as opposed to a browser window.

Narcan’s a weird payload for a missile, but who am I to judge?

No community needs a 60mph flying police #surveillance camera! "Redmond Police Department in the state of Washington, told Ars that this new model was a ‘completely new and different airframe.‘ ‘This is a huge step in DFR innovation and possibility,‘ emailed Jill Green" Urgh, of course! 😩

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

Your options for placeholders: - Make them yourself (difficult, takes time) - Slop (monthly sub, kills the planet, enriches oligarchs, bad assets, everyone hates you and they're right) - Incredibly made game assets by @kenney.nl ($19.95, one-time, supports give-aways to those who can't afford it)

What do you think the largest bundle of game assets in the world costs? $30 million? $500,000? 7 kidneys? $30,000,000 again? How about $19.95! 🤑 kenney.itch.io/kenney-game-...

I just learned that Matt McMuscles put a new potential “What Happened?” episode on the bench.

Matt McMuscles@mattmcmuscles.bsky.social

I just learned QD released a live service strategy shooter two weeks ago that I've never heard of.

I’m giggling livid, because for a moment, I actually thought this was real. Nintendo Power and GamePro may be gone, but boy did growing up with 90’s video game magazines set a weird bar for “normal print ads.”

Gavin Jasper@gavin4l.bsky.social

I remember this ad in Gamepro.

bbl, learning UEFN to make “Shrinkflation Brainrot Obby Sim” or something in an effort to inform and protest this bullshit.

Fortnite V-Bucks Price Increase Starting March 19th www.fortnite.com/news/fortnit...

Been away from online discourse for a while, but noticed a few weeks back that Sam’s Club recently took down everything XBox except the Xbox ROG Ally, including controllers that were going for about $53, but I nabbed one for just shy of $40 in mid-October….

Beach Vibes - PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X|S (Hall Effect) is up for preorder on Amazon ($89.99) amzn.to/4li5AMm #ad

Naturally, the right stick starts drifting last weekend while testing a friend’s pre-release game. Seeing “$90 for licensed dead console controller, what a savings” I feel the sudden need to get back into repairing stuff.

Did they just? I mean, I saw the footage. Rewatched it several times, in fact. But like a skate board? Off the ramp? And into an extra jump?

I discovered you could "Yoshi" enemies you were body surfing to get a little extra height and distance and figured this would be a fun way to hide secrets. Wishlist KOOK if you like crazy traversal mechanics: store.steampowered.com/app/2329690/... #ScreenshotSaturday #BoomerShooter

It only placates the right-wing; after they stop proving useful, It’ll start working against them at the whim of the technocrats who own the data centers. And *that* is when shit’s gonna really have your mouth when you must scream.

Wow, childhood memory unlocked! I got Scrunt as a birthday present when I was 6, but my dad started playing it while I was at school. He moved the NES into his bedroom and didn’t come out for like 3 days, while my mom slept on the couch with packed luggage next to her. When Dad finally emerged (1/3)

Rumor: A 40th Anniversary Scrunt Celebration is Being Planned by Nintendo Instead of Zelda. https://ow.ly/yQ3W50Y9vEl "Scrunt changed everything when it was released" - Shigeru Miyamoto

It looked like he’d spent the past week screaming? crying? there was a hole punched in the wall, and the room smelled like… god, I can’t even describe the stench. Mom sent me to my room, and all I could hear was him pleading “I’m sorry” and her just sobbing. We moved shortly after (2/3)

and got a SNES, and none of the kids at my new school knew about Scrunt, so I guess the world just sorta moved on? Anywho, always happy to hear about old games getting their due!

Hi all, please report the account in the screenshot for impersonation (@warios64.bsky.social), seems that they are sending a link to claim the prize for the current giveaway. If you received a DM, don't click on any links. I would never use a 2nd account for this kind of stuff
