The best one was IGN's 2-point reduction (vs. the original's 9.5 score) of Octopath Traveler 2 for not being NOT-Octopath-Traveler enough. 😂

I still remember when random peeps were talking about how weirdly "sexualized" Diana's design is (something about her looking super adultish while also being a child?)

... She looks ALMOST EXACTLY like my niece from like 2 or 3 years ago (when she was 9/10).

... What the actual eff, humanity?

And if I'm on PC, I have to use a MOUSE to aim my MOUSE'S firearms? Wayyyyyy too much mouse, u_u...

Kotaku hires Rebekah Valentine as Senior Reporter as site expands under new ownership Owner Keleops says that traffic has doubled in under a year; further hires planned to drive further growth

I work at Kotaku now! :)

You can go watch back today's KFGD to hear me talk about it a little if you want. You could also read my alma mater @gibiz.bsky.social to learn more! www.gamesindustry.biz/kotaku-hires...

I'm very much with you on this one. I even like the flavor Twizzlers are listed as being, in oodles of other candies, but man... Twizzlers have always made me slightly nauseous at best.

And I LIKE licorice!

My mouth is crying for this!

All that being said, it's still quite nice to know the surface-level gist of someone's reason for not being around as much, so thanks for going out of your way to do that. And I just hope you're able to feel good/comfortable with however much you're engaging on here at any time. ^___^

without being judged or thought less of. I think from anyone who matters to you on here, the first thing anyone's gonna think, if you show up less or say less, is just "they probably have a reason for that. *shrug*", and we'll just go on appreciating whatever amount of you we get to partake in. -->

I mostly see people hitting various degrees/types of mental or emotional burnout or dealing with big life things and going "I'm gonna hop completely off of here for a while!", and while that's totally fine, I think it's important for people to know they have to option to dial down the water flow -->

The au-DA-city of you! 😆

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

You know what I’d love to see???

A reality show where millionaire CEOs are required to live off their lowest paid employees salary for 1 month.

Omg, this! I'm not even kidding!

Was trying to catch up to my friends in MH Wilds so we can do tougher hunts. I was Hunter Rank 88 or so (just enough to travel through time! 😀), and need to be 100 for many of the end-game stuff now.

I got up to 99, I think, over the weekend. I tried to solo Tempered Jin Dahaad... was not ready...

This looks QUITE cool!

For some reason, pretty much no legacy media is reporting that the FSU shooter was specifically asking ChatGPT about hate crime penalties for racially motivated mass shootings right before killing two men of colour...

I think about this all the time

Finally took a look at our sales! Relic Abyss sold 1,532 units during its first week!🔥

I know it's not much compared to the big boys, but for a small team in 🇵🇭, it really helps us go a long way!✨

Thanks again, everyone for supporting us despite the rough release! 🙏

This is absolutely what we mean when we talk about how triple-A peeps need to calm the hell down about hyper-realism and focus on creativity in game design:

Woooh! Elon protecting the CRAP out of that free speech! It's SO protected, it's vacu-sealed in a museum, never to be used again!

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

2 slots remaining for the June mentorship! Come learn from me 🤘

They were my first ever concert, and they rocked!

Why does that pastry look like it's coming cartoonishly alive, winking at us, and about to advertise 90's breakfast cereal?

We just saw it! It was slightly all over the place, but still a good time and pretty cohesive story. And yeah, SO many references, haha.

LOVE when games make already-visited locations not just dead map weight.

I'm sorry... Been exactly there. 🥺
