What a load of fucking crap the BAFTAs organization has proven itself to be today. I knew it wasn't great but goddamn

Lots of great insight into running these events the past 13 years and knocking down barriers for equity-deserving people!

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss Review - Lovecraftian Puzzles and Goo Check out our review of Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss and see if Big Bad Wolf's Lovecraftian adventure is able to hit the mark.

My Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss review, in short: I really enjoyed the investigation mechanics and there were more than a few great visual moments, but any horror/tension the game builds gets cut once you realize there's nothing around the corner besides more goo
In long:

Games Media not talking about each other in vague subtweets challenge: impossible

Every Roblox parental control update is just a continuous stream of "Wait, this wasn't already in the controls?"

There's a lot I find funny (not 'haha funny') in the message from Gunzilla's CEO, but what might actually be a bit 'haha funny' is when he tries to say "we have such a successful game, we're making so much money" in one breath and "I'll prove it to you if you pay me to prove it" in another

Really appreciate Drew having me on and not get mad at me for talking way too much lol

Fully booked my travel to Edmonton for Game Con Canada and the North American Games Industry Summit (NAGIS) in June.
First time in 4 years I’m not going to Summer Game Fest but it’s sadly no longer worth it. Will miss seeing some colleagues and devs but excited to get to do an event at home!

I mean, taking McDavid at face value from his big write-up pre-olympics, he seems fine to take the discount for now if it means helping Edmonton win because it has to pay Draisaitl more. But it is really starting to feel like if they lose this year, it's all getting blown up

They really were - Skinner too, cause he’s had a great season imo with the Pens, and he’ll be back in the playoffs in a city that doesn’t toxically hate him

Was really wondering how the Oilers lost to Utah last night, so I threw the highlights on.

Saw Tristan Jarry was in net, didn't need to watch the rest of the highlights.

How The Long Dark kept surviving the Canadian wild popular for over a decade Vancouver's Hinterland on making the last major story episode and its first-ever sequel, all while staying true to its Canadian identity.

I know this is not a typical night, but multiple outpost exfils after looting pinwheel, a Cryo archive exfil, more than one spon kit run turned proper loadout, and a bunch of lore items is why I got caught playing Marathon till 2am again

As a Canadian gamer since… oh god I’m old, it was a pleasure to talk to @jonore.bsky.social about the huge industry we’ve built up here and why it doesn’t get the kudos that our other creative industries do. You’ve played Canadian games and not even known it! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...
