I really like decals in video games. Things like stained glass in DOS 2 having a bunch of variety, or Avowed’s graffiti or Marathon’s plethora of different kinds. Starfield also had a COLOSSAL amount which was really fun to read and digest while playing.

"It was inevitable" "Been saying this for years" "I'm all digital anyway" Please leave. This will mean fewer options for consumers, more control for publishers, and a huge part of gaming culture vanishing just like that You can still buy physical movies. You will not be able to buy physical games

Nintendo are far from a perfect company but man I can't take the hate they get seriously when everyone else is killing what I love about games. The people that make them and the tangibility that makes them more than data on a drive. It's never been so dire and they feel like all the hope remaining

A lot of other people have illustrated why the death of physical media is so devastating on so many levels, all I have to say really is that there are far too many people who underestimate or refuse to acknowledge the consequences of laying down and accepting this further.

Man rest in peace the elder scrolls blades. Underneath extremely bad monetization, there was a fun dungeon crawler elder scrolls game with some cool technology under the hood

I wonder if capital G Gamers will pretend to be as upset about this as they pretended to be about the lesser evil game key cards the switch 2 has

It's wild to think there will effectively be no used market - period - for Grand Theft Auto VI. There will be no way to get that game cheaper than MSRP barring a sale.

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends

Farewell, Destiny 2. Thank you for the almost decade of memories and fun.

Destiny 2@destinythegame.bungie.net

On June 9, 2026, we will be releasing our final live service content update for Destiny 2, Monument of Triumph, available to all players. 📰 For full details: bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026

One of my favorite bits about Marathon is the depth of each map. Just as you think you understand the flow of a map or how to progress and exfil, you realize you’ve only scratched the surface of a lake frozen over. Couple that with what each map offers narratively and it’s simply astounding

If I leave my phone number for callback because I’ve been on hold for 15 minutes, do NOT FUCKING CALL ME AT 5AM THE NEXT DAY!!! Absolute bullshit and now I gotta call these dickheads AGAIN

The way people have treated Erin Moriarty is so fucking appalling. Absolutely 0 room for compassion or empathy and instead choose to use her appearance as an outlet for misogyny.

I have nothing to say that matches the gravity of the situation. I just want peace and safety for everyone targeted by the insane whims of a madman.

It absolutely rocks that Obsidian went back and did this

Hear us, Watchers! Turn-Based Mode for Pillars of Eternity is now live on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Xbox PC App. Whether new or returning, we hope you enjoy your adventure in the Eastern Reach. bit.ly/4e5U8lt

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is completely ridden with classic mobile game nonsense, but underneath all of that are some actually impressive systems and I’m pretty sad it’s going to be shut down. Hope it gets the TESL Reborn treatment someday.

Fuck JK Rowling. Stupid rancid mold ridden psychotic piece of shit human being. I want nothing to do with anyone who just wants their little wizard world for the cost of her funding all out persecution of human beings.

It’s so funny how every single actual good games journalist loathes and hates steam charts as we should, but yet we still get bozos like @paultassi.bsky.social relentlessly obsessing over them and he tries to hide behind false equivalence arguments in any discussion he has about them. Despicable.

Now, dodos read Steam charts like tea leaves, obsessing over peaks and valleys as if they even know the difference between an X and Y axis, so they can use an LLM to spit out a bad-faith tweet to get a "win" in an increasingly gamified media landscape. Waste of all our time and energy.

This is so gross. I know Oliver is a big GenAI guy and those segments were always ones I skipped, but this is just disappointing. Rich saying “which version would you rather play, it’s quite obvious” is an incredible head-scratcher, these characters do NOT “fully realize the artistic vision.” GTFOH

We've brought back our "zoomer" screenshot tool and loaded up a range of DLSS 5 on/off comparisons from a range of games. Check it out: www.digitalfoundry.net/features/nvi...

Pokopia got the sauce, this game is sick. It’s like a Minecraft + animal crossing brain child with a pokemon skin. So adorably charming and satisfying to see this barren land become a home to many.

Marathon good. I played like 4 hours today only on one shell and I couldn’t stop, even after getting my ass handed to me I just jumped right back in immediately. Loving the lore too, I find myself reading each and every codex entry as I unlock it.

Started seeing more dragon age fan art on my feeds and that makes me really happy. I love that franchise so much even after all it’s been through. Hoping that Veilguard will be given its appropriate laurels in time!
