Gameoverse is GREENLIT FOR FULL PRODUCTION! The 8-episode season begins in May 2027

I genuinely think those who love video games for what they are and are searching for *somewhere* to call a spade, a spade in this weird era of AI slop, should start looking to @aftermath.site. I'll put it as succinctly as this: giving a shit is a superpower, and they do.

Being unable to play Gears of War E-Day due to the insane CPU demand it asks is rough. I really want to play it, but Unreal Engine 5.8 is making this game CHUGG on my rig. I hope others have more success than I do.

Ross explains how the EU Kids Act is cover for making private servers without age verification illegal, and expanding surveillance under the guise of protecting kids. Here's how to fight back: - Spread the word and this video far and wide! Let the public know what's happening! ...

Really enjoyed the dub for part 1 of the Infinity Castle arc. Major props to Akaza’s VA for a stellar performance.

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

Sony's PlayStation disc plant isn't dropping to 10% capacity in 2028. It's losing about 10%. Sony DADC confirmed to me the widely reported figure was read backwards. New column also includes a chat with former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden game.substack.com/p/sonys-play...

Well, Xcancel is no longer operational, due to a C&D from Twitter. After years making the entire product worse, no further purpose to use it.

Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

Alright y'all, this is it! The final stretch for the game industry hardship fund. We've got $13k to raise in 14 hours to meet the final goal, I think we can do it. itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Low key think Alex can compete this season with his changes from the Yasmine patch. I really think he can be the best oki character in the game when optimized, there's so much depth.

Just hearing how people who are unable to purchase the hardware they need to play the games they want, renting the hardware and limits put into them from said hardware… truly frustrates me for them. You don’t deserve that, nor should you accept it.

lol; okay man. While I think continuation of a predominantly digital ecosystem is already here, the focus right now needs to evolve to ownership of what you buy and the access to obtain it. Find ways to get involved.
