Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

fromsoft game narrative discourse often misses how the words are very good. item descriptions blah blah yeah sure. but "all things flourish, whether graceful or malign" is very good words

What a terrible day to have eyes

This was PRECISELY my feeling when I visited. It generally seems Fine but when my East Coast ass got taken to a park and the person we were visiting sighed “I love this city” as I looked across the river at a tangle of cloverleaf interchanges I was like nah, I’m good.

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

Duuuude I played this game around the time it released and it is like, quintessential punching above your weight shit. It ruled!!!

"proton lets you play windows games on linux"
windows: wait
"gamenative lets you play windows games on android"
windows: yo STOP?? WTF

Funi Raccoon Game, which is as advertised

Oh my GOD

Lmao what the fuck

Bring Me To Life, Wake Me Up Inside—whatever!

@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @danryckert.com seeing as y’all started singing it during Blight Club, could I interest you in a version of Wake Me Up Inside that’s so jazzed up it basically qualifies as City Pop?

110 yen!! What a steal haha

Yes

We used to have news media with integrity

Mark Zuckerberg’s shitty VR avatar mocked up as the cover to a $12.98 game for the Wii called World Baby. It is inexplicably rated T for Teen despite the bright yet bland color scheme and low level of detail.

I will never not think of this every time I see mention of the metaverse. Shoutout to @davidjroth.bsky.social for the original idea, if memory serves, and someone else I should’ve noted down on Twitter for following through

Incredible work Nvidia...

IT’S A GREAT DAY FOR NEW JERSEY, EVERYBODY

Holy shit what lmao

How do you do it? 100% hit rate in this format.

Screenshot of an Ars Technica article. It reads: For some, this was simply an intolerable escalation of some long-standing issues. “I’ve never really felt safe traveling to the US,” said Rami Ismail, a longtime indie developer, consultant, and GDC attendee since 2010. “I have a lot of Arab names, and I have a slightly Arab vibe, and I’ve been made very aware that a lot of folks in the US do not want us to exist there, or even elsewhere… I’ve spent a lot of time with my passport confiscated or in interrogation rooms. Under this new, violent administration, it’s simply not safe to travel. “I ain’t going to GDC because I’m 99 percent sure I would not leave detention anytime soon,” Ismail continued. “It used to be bad; now my white friends are being treated like I used to be.”

absolute all-timer from Ismail

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Peep the vid, scoop the game, and pop some headphones on because this game will Do Things To You (positive)

Beautiful piece! You’re really selling me on this one. I played Red and Blue as a kid, but basically followed your trajectory afterwards—kept trying; no love. This sounds utterly delightful, though!

Ooooof

Still a tough pill for me to swallow. As a Steam Deck owner who is increasingly willing to take graphical compromise if it means I can game wherever, whenever I was feeling quite well-served by their PC ports. And I even have a PS5!

Tokyo peeps: A friend of mine and her husband arrive at Haneda at 2 a.m. and are looking for a place to hang out in Tokyo until their connecting flight the following afternoon.

Do you have any ideas about fun or interesting places spend the wee hours in Tokyo?
