I’m a Mariners fan, I feel nothing. Also, AL won the ASG again, which is obviously more important.

every fan of an AL team should be experiencing secondhand shame that this is the best team their league produced. you should all feel like Lord Toranaga when Tadayoshi spoke out of turn at the Council of Regents

Going into this weekend, I didn’t have enough healthy players to field a full team in fantasy football and had to pick up a few waivers. I ended up with the most points this week. What a dumb game. 😆

Would love to be able to go back and tell 10 year old me that we can play Flight Simulator on a Game Boy in the future (since we wouldn’t know what a Steam Deck or Steam or Valve was yet).

Being able to learn something or train up on something almost instantly using YouTube almost like in The Matrix. I needed help stringing up my new string trimmer the other day. Had it mastered after a 2 minute video.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Not going to comment on the Sweeney stuff itself since everyone else has but I will submit this as yet another example that AI does not understand the “less is more” rule in design. This comic is so busy with stuff it takes away from the messaging.

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

I have been with this company for almost 2 decades now and have never gotten something like this before. I’m sure it’s because I’m a good customer and not that a faster and cheaper company just finished their buildout in my neighborhood.

Welp between this and the security exploit last week. I guess my weekend will be spent switching to Jellyfin. Can we have just one thing that hasn’t gone to shit please?

yeah plex might as well be dead dead i think

And to make it worse, there is also 10,000 Roblox clones that a lot of people will just play instead because it's free and good enough.

Its already happening and its gettinh worse, IMO this latest next fest might be a turning point kotaku.com/devs-behind-...

This was announced before I had kids. My oldest is now an adult.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 reportedly still in development 18 years after being announced, now a "solo-first" adventure www.eurogamer.net/beyond-good-...

EA isn't going to last much longer either. They are getting Toys R Us-ed. That debt isn't sustainable. Just too bad they couldn't have sold off or given Bioware the chance to survive while the Titanic sinks.

Anyone got recommendations for a free or low cost online reference board? I love PureRef but I need to collaborate with my artist for our game and it's kind of a pain to continually share it over Google Drive. I could use Google Docs but I don't like the formatting.

Pay no attention to the bad news and enjoy this news that may or may not actually release in 6 years.

‘STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT 3’ is in the works. Respawn and DICE are teaming up to develop the game. (Source: variety.com/2026/digital...)

Activision doing a lot of heavy lifting in this valuation. Xbox itself is probably worth around $10B without all the acquisitions.

I just tried one to look for a job in a large company so I put in what I was looking for and it just asked me where I want to work and gave me a generic job list. Cool, so you added the location filter for me, incredibly useful.

Looks like I’ll be rocking the PC/Switch 2 combo into the future forever! I’ll miss future Gran Turismo and Spiderman games but not for $2000.

PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playsta...

"New ways" = AI. "Courage" = layoffs will always be hanging over your heads.

Asha Sharma reportedly tells rattled Xbox employees: "We have to find new ways, and courage, to have invention on new IP" https://bit.ly/3WmYfCM

This is correct. Now Earthbound is different. Ness is an original Smash Bros. character. Good luck finding a Mario Party character in Smash.

I said that more people in the world care about Mario Party than care about Chrono Trigger, and an entire room of my colleagues might as well have literally exploded.

Drop a film you saw on a first date. Fun fact, we ate at this diner on our way to the movie. Despite the rumor that the whole movie was shot in Idaho, this was actually in Richmond, UT where my now wife lived at the time. Her brother worked here but was off the day they filmed this.

Drop a film you saw on a first date. I was 16, this was not awkward at all.

The 'Call of Duty tax' means games media doesn’t cover COD the way it used to, Activision says. Its large audience has "become status quo" and people forget the work that goes into each entry, it's claimed. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-cal...

Hey Epic, I'm open to consulting work or you can hire me so I could tell you in the future to not put out graphics like this one because it makes you look terrible. I will let you know you aren't competing with Steam at this stage, you are competing with yourself.

Tried the new Epic launcher. It is faster but the old/current launcher was one of the slowest apps I've ever used so that wasn't hard. Not shocking with a vibe coded app, the UI is awful. Your friends list is always up and I have to go to Fab to see my plugin library.

Unsurprisingly, they are still trying to compete with Steam and have no idea why it's the leader. Steam loads fine. Maybe it's a bit slower but not enough to ditch it for EGS.
