New Burnout Culture! Taco Bell is the king of cheap food, Harvestella is horribly overlooked, and yes, we talk about that Pragmata discourse. Good episode, if I do say so.

Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Review-In-Progress - Mother Knows Best Diablo IV's new expansion combines fantastic quality-of-life improvements, two powerhouse classes, and an emotionally charged narrative to create a new high point for the series.

A Diablo expansion that made me cry? More likely than you think!! Here’s my full review 🔥🖤

new byline!

was asked to review lord of hatred for @mmorpg.com - found some commonality b/w trudging through the misery of being in games while MSFT is being ~terrible~ and what diablo 4's story is about, and figured i'd run with that for framing

s/o to joseph for not kicking me out immediately

Magic folks!

I'll be at Magic Con Vegas, and alongside playing some games, I'm looking to chat with any Pauper players in attendance for a video - on what drew you to Pauper, why you play, and your favorite decks - to shed some light on it for the GI viewership.

If you're interested, let's chat!

I should actually play through Diablo IV at some point

Is it possible to create an island with a safe harbor in the middle of a massive storm? We would like to think so. Free on CASCADE CASCADE:

I remember the original looking really cool. I'd give this a shot with you

This one is exciting. New MMOs are always exciting, I guess, but this one just looks good. Hopefully it holds up - we'll see later this year!

The industry is just working through its backlog

Also, they literally took the price of Call of Duty out of the subscription. This lowers the yearly price of GP Ultimate by $84, which is about the price of a new AAA game with tax.

However, I'd assume COD isn't going to be the only series ousted moving forward and there won't be more price drops

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. Find out more inside.

While I really liked not having to buy every game that MS released, I don't fault them for finally shifting Game Pass into a value-add service rather than an end-all, be-all subscription. Surely they'll make more money by releasing their biggest games exclusively as full-priced products at launch.

Thanks to @hokutolucas.bsky.social for jumping in and tackling this for us as I scrambled to find a reviewer. Definitely a good read, and almost makes me want to reinstall D4.

Almost.

UPDATE:

We have not been able to post any of our articles since Friday, since we have a pending migration to a new server. We are very close to the finish line with one support ticket between us and finishing!

Thank you all for your support and patience. We hit our goal of $3k!

I reviewed Tides of Tomorrow! It’s got a really cool gimmick where you play through the story right behind another player and have to deal with the consequences of all their choices. It stays fun the whole game, imo!

He Won the Biggest Award in Indie Games. Then He Did It Again. The behind-the-scenes story of Titanium Court

One of my goals as a journalist is to enrich people's experiences with media. When you play a new game, that experience is more vibrant and fulfilling because you know the story behind the art.

Why and how was it made? Where does it fit into our culture? What could it make you feel?

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)

Other than that, I thought the match was great, and it was refreshing to have a mania main event without 300 run-ins and ref bumps.

idk they both took turns taking a beating and they showed both were running on fumes. He found the little bit to hit one more move that Punk couldn't muster. Worked for me
