EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Always thought it was a bit weird this triple threat had two wrestlers and a DPD Driver in it

'Few games capture the spirit of indie game development quite like VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. What initially started out as a short game for a Cyberpunk Game Jam back in 2014, soon became a standout indie hit. VA-11 Hall-A delivers a heartfelt story of happiness in the depths of disaster, draped in a unique cyberpunk aesthetic and set to a distinctive synthwave soundtrack to match. It’s a truly remarkable visual novel, and the perfect choice for our Design Works range. Produced in collaboration with Sukeban Games and Ysbryd, VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works explores the corrupt metropolis of Glitch City, its culture, and the people who frequent the game’s beloved hole in the wall, VA-11 Hall-A. Written by talented journalist and author Ashley Schofield (Polygon, EDGE, Unwinnable and VGC), you’ll hear how this world came to be and the cyberpunk touchstones that inspired it — all the while lending insight into the history of Venezuela, where the team is located, and the unique challenges of developing a game there. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works will be a celebration of this beautiful indie masterpiece, and the people that made it all possible. Alongside contemporary interviews with writer/programmer Fernando Damas and artist/designer Christopher Ortiz conducted exclusively for VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works, the book also features a collection of highlights from the ‘Daily VA-11 Hall-A’ blog posts directly from Sukeban.moe. You can also expect deep dives into the development of the game’s prototype and prologue; the bartending mechanics that put you in the shoes of disaster bisexual bartender Jill Stingray, and interviews exploring its iconic synthwave soundtrack/jukebox with composer Michael Kelly. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works features detailed insight into the game’s early concepts and development, an exploration of Glitch City itself, and a deep dive into the programming, art and soundtrack — an unmissable read for any fan.'

A magazine cover of Unwinnable Monthly #191, with the feature being my essay 'I Don't Want To Be This Kind of Animal Anymore' and art by Shafer Brown. An excerpt reads: In the dark times, should the stars also go out? 'Revachol is still. Silent. Decades of unrest, corruption and capital gain have reduced it to a shell of a city. And yet, under these sullen skies, a miracle is happening. The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again.'

My review of Hollow Knight: Silksong for Video Games Chronicle. 'Hollow Knight: Silksong review: A game that intends to make you suffer, even to its own detriment. Team Cherry’s sequel has a clear mission statement, but doesn’t seem to consider the consequences. 3/5 stars.'

Bounty Star Review - IGN This combination of mech combat and farming is equal parts compelling and tranquil.

Oh, that's an easy one. It's this by @edgarallanbro.bsky.social

At least Slade is like, presented as the villain he is there tbh. It's so much weirder when Byrne does it because it never comes up in his stories the way it should

Demonschool review: Top of the class Classrooms, companions, and combos.

I reviewed @necrosoftgames.com 's Demonschool for @shacknews.com, and I really dug it. It's gorgeous, charming, genuinely funny, and the combat system has the juice to keep you searching for the perfect turn.

Also, there's a Gunsmith Cats reference. You love to see it. Wholly recommended.

Sadly you are in fact dressed like The Rock

Then there's the tag team, Rhiyo

It's a fascist state, I have to assume it's done with slave labor

The narrator shouting the name of the show has haunted me for years now

Be aware of me too pls

I *screamed*

Just said this to a friend. He's gonna get in there, get put into a KOR submission and tap

Just close friends, that Toni and Mina. Roommates, even

AEW is so cool, man

Where Winds Meet - Review In Progress | MMORPG.com Where Winds Meet is an interesting title: an online-only MMORPG that also features a single-player story spanning hundreds of hours, and several game modes that cater to different audiences. Rhi is he...

Covered Where Winds Meet for MMORPG.com! It's a review in progress, but so far I'm not entirely hot, not entirely cold on it. It's trying a lot of things, and it's doing very few of them exceedingly well.

I think I'm gonna sell mine

You excited for Blood & Guts? I've been vibrating with anticipation all day

It'll be identical and you know it

Still looking for work! I've got ideas coming out of my ears, so hit me up!

Is he acting like Teller in Fantastic Four, Teller in Top Gun Maverick or Teller in Whiplash, that's the real question

It's *really* odd because in my head I know exactly what the final shot should have been and what Wright probably would have gone for (won't say here because it's not out yet, though)

Just got out of it and the ending left a weird taste. Get wanting to do your own thing but I dunno if this was the way to do it

Do you even like Sonic
