Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

I’m not as far as you but I do keep scanning bosses that are like β€œthey’ve gotten stronger from the Metroid fusing with them” and it’s like, why haven’t I seen any of these Metroid? Nothing else in the game seems to know about them?

Managed to put quite a few hours into Prime 4 today and I’m liking it a lot, but perhaps in spite of itself?

It actually feels more like a GameCube / PS2 era game than the original Prime, which is crazy.

He is the leader of the space pirates, he must have to do some desk work every now and again - approve expenses, coordinate team getaways, etc

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive? Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Love stuff like this! I obsessed over The Grinder for Wii before it was cancelled. I know logically now that it likely would have been a proper 6/10 but I still wish it had released

Samus Speaks Chozo - Metroid Dread

Been thinking a lot about how amazingly powerful this moment is in a game with so little story cutscene staging. Making brilliant use of breaking a franchise tradition, the way it uses an iconic tune, etc. Just chills at the time youtu.be/bdTdUoSCfS4?...

Do I know anybody who has experience writing scripts for video reviews, and could give me ballpark figures for rates? I've been approached with something that may or may not progress, but this isn't my area and I don't know how high/low is reasonable.

The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members
YouTube video by People Make Games The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members

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.

Very glad I bought one of the Switch compatible N64 controllers because this game is so heavily built around that layout - easily accessibly on NSO but difficult to play with a pro controller!

Back in my reporting days I started reaching out to people who had worked on Doctor Who games in the past. I never saw it through properly, but from the information I did get, working with the BBC on the Doctor Who IP for games was a bit of a nightmare. A shame it's not gotten any better!
