I can't wait to ask the "director" of this title what videos games they stole ideas, characters, stories, graphics, music, and other assets from to create a pile of trash. #xAI

I love buildings like this. They are the home of writers who want a place as odd as them! #London #TheBlackfriar

I haven't run into this myself, but I have heard of others who have. People make mistakes, drop news they shouldn't, and say things out of turn all the time. That's being human.

But if you're going to go on the record about anything, you gotta know, this is our job. #Gaming #VideoGames #Journalism

Color us shocked. A mostly Republican body chose a map they created over dozens of public options, which cuts Salt Lake City in half, because they want to make sure Republicans keep all four seats.

Hopefully the judge sees through yet another attempt at gerrymandering. #SLC #Utah #utpol

30 grown-ass men in tactical gear, armed to the teeth, backing away from unarmed protestors, and a guy in an inflatable frog suit like he's got The Clap.

Man, this got reshared more than I thought. Two quick things:

1. It's less a commentary about what happened to Tuvix and more about how Voyager did SO MUCH WORSE trying to get home, and this is all anyone talks about
2. It's a sci-fi show with a guest actor. Come on, you KNEW the end plot by Act 2

John Madden gives his advice on what the next play should be to game developers who think having a demo on Steam Next Fest will improve their outreach in 2025.

John Madden gives his advice on what the next play should be to game developers who think having a demo on Steam Next Fest will improve their outreach in 2025.

Since TGS 2025 ended, I have received 124 emails (so far) about games that will have a free demo at Steam Next Fest. At this point, having a free demo on Steam is no longer special. Almost everyone does them now. Something's gotta give!

Star Trek legends deliver verdict on Voyager's most controversial moment after almost 30 years Case closed!

This was shared in our work chat, and before reading it, I wrote, "I haven't even clicked the article, and I'm already going to guess: Is it about Tuvix?"

And I was right. Because no one gives a shit about any other issue on Voyager except Tuvix. #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager

I've been making fun social media for #MTGxSpiderMan, and in one of them, I put the song "Hero" from the first Spider-Man film. I feel like this is one of the last great music videos for a film where they basically make a long promo to hype you up. A lost art, indeed! #SpiderMan #MagicTheGathering

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

All of the gaming industry BS of today is influencing the current indie devs and future game makers of tomorrow. So when a major corp comes around offering help for a stake in their title, they will tell them to fuck off. #indiedev #gaming #videogames
