Just went through my tiktok account to manually block the AI remix feature on every post and that was exhausting, but after not posting on it for almost a year it does make me want to go back to yapping casually on that platform... Maybe...
Fumi Games get your legal team on the line
Either celebrate games as art, or drop the pretence. There’s not really a middle ground.
To be able to manufacture misinformation like this would be absolutely fatal for Google's legitimacy two decades ago, but now it's just expected that one of the single greatest information gathering tools ever built has spent billions to self-destruct for 'the shareholders'.
My lifetime playtime of Street Fighter could probably be measured in minutes so I'm maybe not the target audience — but that trailer looked like the exact kind of trashy ridiculousness I'd expect from it, can someone explain if there's some deep lore they're disrespecting?
Mouse was a good time, althoigh some wonky pacing and a story that never quite gelled for me holds it back from greater things. At least they let Mickey (Jack) say fuck in this one.

Despite being yet another Star Wars story between 3&4 with an established character as it's lead, Maul: Shadow Lord is actually very solid thus far. Witwer's as Maul has always been one of the great animated voice performances, so if nothing else it's worth watching for him alone.
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
Let's get this bad boy to $100K because we all deserve a little treat AND a very lovely magazine!
Just cus a fruit is low hanging doesn't mean it can't be ripe
Invincible is an unparalleled translation of a comic run to screen, taking much of what works about the original but not being so slavishly accurate to the point of not changing pain points that are clear from years of reflection. A generational example of adaptation, clearer now in S4 than ever.
This might sound like an off the wall suggestion; but you could get glasses from JINs. They're well priced, it's easy to get a test done in less than an hour, and I got mine made the same day. Got a great pair of glasses with clip on sunnies I use basically daily — big recommend
I know I'm late to the party but happy to finally have had a chance to support this! How sweet would it be if it hit 100k?
Ignoring all the other shit about how terrible AI is, this has the classic sell from boosters that you need to "embrace it or get left behind".
Just an idea; if your technology provided real benefits you could use those as a sales pitch rather than "it's new."
Oh it doesn't? Sucks for you
Listening to this earlier today and I was floored by his candor, as compared to how closed off a lot of industry folk are when discussing reportedly chaotic behind the scenes
I cannot believe my PS5 is an appreciating asset
This response to a video game review is great ammunition for the "everyone is 12" theory
A picture of Cass Barkman (me) holding a framed certificate that reads 'Highly Commended - Best Game Reviewer'.
A picture of the three Checkpoint attendees at the Lizzies posing in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge - Cass, Austin and Erielle.
A picture of the highly commended winners posing on the stage together.
A picture of the room the Lizzies was hosted in prior to the event starting.
Last night I attended the Lizzies alongside my @checkpointau.bsky.social crew, and I was surprised and honoured to receive a highly commended award for Best Game Reviewer.
Was also just amazing to be in the room and meet all these incredible people I had previously only admired from afar.
Lizzie's was energising in a way that MIGW often is — a reminder both that you're in a wonderful creative space but also that those behind other stuff you enjoy (and respect) are lovely and great to have a beer with
ABC GAMER NOW ARMED IN THE GRAVE WITH A VERY POINTY TROPHY
My speech was full of nervous energy and so much love for our little team but my heart is very full and I’m so proud of what we managed to get done in our short time!

The Google newsbox for the search term Game Pass Price Cut, displaying a series of websites, including ComicBook.com, Windows Central and games.gg -- plus GamesHub.
The GamesHub page for "New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma Could Make Game Pass Less Expensive in 2026"
Google is failing.
The fact GamesHub can rank in the news box here with this atrocious, AI-generated text and nonsense imagery is horrific -- I mean is that lead image meant to show Asha Sharma? Why does this have an image credit to Xbox for the image lmao? Does Xbox care lmao??????
If you own this game create all the memes you can now, there's no way Nintendo don't crack down on this lmao
Fourth time I've been to Sydney in the last year but the first time I've had any opportunity to walk around and actually enjoy the city. Melb def has y'all beat on coffee but otherwise ngl Sydney goes alright
Big Colbert fan as well but a movie based on four chapters of a book that were cut from the original adaptation co-written by his son whose writing credits include Rise of Skywalker? Uuuuuuh
My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.
Pretty frustrated with myself for not backing what I thought was clearly AI during the review period. The lack of disclosure really made me think the assets that I saw I was just being overzealous about.
Then I saw that absolute slop painting.
Bizarre that everyone seems to be having so many technical issues. In my entire review window it had two crashes total and basically no bugs.
People being extremely weird replying to this. Jason isn't advocating for people to place these kinds of bets, and I think that's obviously why he's said "gambling website" and not the prefered pseudonym of "prediction market" traditionally used by boosters.
DMed you, want to avoid sharing the content tbh
Especially when the youtubers in question are known plagiarists whose apology amounts to "so what I said was gaming journalists but what I meant was people who aren't good at games" and then follows that up with "ignore the part where I mention outlets". Fucking hacks.
