Over at Kotaku, we are trying to cover at least one cool indie game every week. It's called Indie of the Week! kotaku.com/opinion/impr... If you are an indie dev with something cool, feel free to send it to Tips@Kotaku.com!

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!

I sold $16K in Pokémon cards and it fucking sucked aftermath.site/pokemon-card-s...

This has been teased and talked about for quite some time. Being done with Ubisoft and Arkane's full blessings. Huge community collaboration project. Not sure if this version will include the new levels from the Xbox release, but if not, mods should be able to add those.

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029

I'm watching for cases like these with Republicans just tuning out harder each time (24 -> 25 drop is expected: Presidential turnout is higher than off-year, that said, nice!) Dems just under 84% of 2024 and GOP at under 38% I salute the brave patriots who are helping Rs see they shouldn't vote

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

monday comin'

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

This is driving me insane. Why would you get a magnetic AI assistant thing for your phone. You guys keep trying to reinvent the phone because you don't control the phone. Loser shit! Embarrassing! How much did they pay for this?

Hidden in some development files was an unmasked version of Kabal (kabal_nomask.dff).

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

this is just bad political communication period. with a profoundly unpopular president, you put out an ad to indicate just how aligned you are with his views on an issue that is not even in the top 100 for most voters?

Now this is the kind of football that gets my motor runnin’

People rag on college football being homogenized but a 6-3 Big Ten conference game where neither team looks capable of getting a first down is pure tradition

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Battlefield 6, One Year Later

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Well this is certainly a first

Nancy 10/22/26 “Sick Week” part 4

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy And they were right But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

genuinely insulting how studies and surveys routinely find how paying for basic human needs has no downsides for both governments and businesses and both routinely plunge their heads in the sand as it rots around them

New Star Wars: Galactic Racer Update Makes The Already Great Game Even Better

This is another part about all of this that sucks. 4K streaming looks fine, until you boot up a 4K UHD disc on your TV and realize just how much better the physical version looks in comparison.

It's depressing to think about, but we might be less than 10 years away from a future where only a few boutique companies are still releasing physical DVD/BD/UHD movies.
