Valve has historically had the fewest major leaks of any big technology/games company I can think of by virtue of having no social media team, no PR, and famously a singular communications person that is harder to get a response from than your great grandpa via ouija board

on Bluesky there's a contingent of people 'boycotting' ARC Raiders while it has 400,000 concurrent players for having AI and on Twitter there's an international crisis because EuroGamer gave it a 4. as an arbiter of gamers and games media I am proud to say that everyone is wrong job well done

to become a world champion professional gaming organization your roster needs to consist of a teenager everyone thinks is cheating, a ranked ladder demon banned for spamming slurs in all chat, no Americans, and an old unc (30 years old) leader who carries the team

Locked in to multiscreen live election coverage that New Yorkers can trust

Polymarket and Kalshi intentionally posting misleading political engagement bait content about Zohran to swindle money out of all the hysterical nyc tech and crypto guys is the type of soulless marketing I approve of

on Twitter you get to fight with antiwoke youtubers with brain damage and the nazi coalition of groypers but on here you have to go up against thousands of accounts doing their best Jamie Lee Curtis bear dinner scene in every reply

New YouTube policy announced cracking down on online gambling and skin gambling, but it's also targeting 'graphic violence' in video games and will begin age restricting videos of "mass violence against non-combatants". So every GTA6 release day video

Currently working on a piece regarding just how much the Saudis have paid publishers, developers, pro gamers and streamers. here's a little nugget:

one top Twitch streamer made more $ in two hours of 'work' than a years worth of Chorus dark money influencer funds for all its creators combined

well it's two days later and we're even closer to a reality of Saudi Princes changing their Steam profiles to "❤️I bought EA and Bethesda and Activision Blizzard❤️ " bsky.app/profile/slas...

Just to make everyone feel worse about everything there's a world where Amazon sells Twitch to the Saudis which is a rumor thats already gone around and Microsoft eventually dumps gaming in favor of chasing AI, also leading to being sold to the kingdom. So think of it like these are the good times

Kingdom of Gamers Ft. Rod Breslau aka Slasher Podcast Episode · Kill The Computer · 10/20/2025 · 1h 12m

new episode of kill the computer, we talked to @slasher.bsky.social about the saudi kingdoms takeover of gaming, sports, and entertainment industries and why they’re doing this

With all due respect please these posts gotta stop. no not everything is gamergate. this is basic social media strategy

Alright well I put one of those guys away and we did a lil bit of trolling to the us army. all in all good stuff

Discord the company dawg

lol according to leaks from the recent Discord hack there is an internal document list of "Accounts That We Should Not Interact With" featuring myself, the US Army, TeamSpeek, Keemstar and the disgraced doctor. What I do

Hey I'm good at getting into fights too

Currently spending my time on Twitter cyberbullying the fuck out of the head of Twitter. You guys should try it

if Totilo reports it I believe it

spoke to Telegraph: the Saudi investment in gaming/esports is more impactful and worrisome than their investments elsewhere. if EA was told to focus on guns and football it wouldn't be too surprising

What is this in reference to

many of us have been sounding the alarm of Saudi control over gaming for years now. as I spoke to the NY Times they can pretty much keep this going forever so you better get used to the annual Riyadh Comedy Festival sponsored by EWC, EA, and slave labor

My mistake I meant 2025

BEHERIT

it is 2035. 90% of all video game companies are owned by Saudi Arabia and Tencent. you must upload your passport and social security number to access the Steam forums. the FBI has custom roles to oversee all Discord servers. GTA 6 and Bloodborne PC have yet to be released

in the early days of Twitter and Reddit I put a lot of effort into onboarding the entire esports industry into both platforms with some pretty good success. now maybe I should have been leading by example but I was really hoping it would happen organically and it just hasn't
