'Sword of the Sea' got a Xbox storepage. Seems like Fictions is publishing it instead of Giant Squid. A few months ago a rumor floated around that Sony acquired the IP (simliar situation with Kena, so probably nothing). www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...
Heck yeah. Loving it so far. Echo Weaver #GamePass @moonlightkids.bsky.social 🙌❤️

I’m okay with this rhetoric. Is it the full truth? Not imo. But neither was 20c rhetoric about masterpieces and great books. That, too, undervalued the collective part of thought. But if someone is speaking passionately in a way that motivates people to read and think, I’ll take the win.
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

NEW: In January, Game File readers learned that "eight bucks is still five bucks," as one of Peak's developers explained the game's PC pricing It's launching on console for $10, so I had to go back to @smashynick.bsky.social to find out just what 10 bucks is worth www.gamefile.news/p/peak-conso...
PlayStation has had some howlers on the custom controller front this gen, but this one might take the cake lol. Awful.

Worth the time to understand why they mean/meant so much to so many.
In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

Penguin Colony is a vital work of confrontational art. A game that reclaims Lovecraft’s words and turns them against his own beliefs. If it looks like a gag game (cosmic horror March of the Penguins) from the outside, know that it very, very much is not. My review. www.polygon.com/penguin-colo...

this is easy: flying cars have never been cool and a fixation on them is an indication of being a mark akin to a Disney Adult but for science fiction horseshit
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Replying to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social
seems plausible that in the short term, people are not going to use a janky Adobe clone en masse in a way that fundamentally alters things. But people using AI KoolAid-manning into open source hobby coding communities and destroying them — I think that's already happened and going to get worse

As well as this, atproto concepts such as DID and PDS are uniquely well-suited to supporting agents, it's a much better future than what big tech is trying to push us into.
it means people’s Muse, Dots, OpenClaws, and other AI assistants are eventually going to be interacting a lot online, and I’d rather see them do it on open protocols with user owned identities rather than in a corporate consortium.

Also a response to AnyPS5 too, I imagine.
Microsoft just announced Xbox Labs, a response to the AI-powered game decompiling we've seen recently. Whether it's skateboarding in CoD or Halo in a browser, Xbox Labs is a new group tasked with exploring this new era of modding. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/1010406...
