Death Stranding 2 is the most realistic game I think I’ve seen this gen. I genuinely thought the intro was stock footage of a desert until I saw the little blue and black strands over it and realised it was in engine.

However, Norman’s face looks decidedly low res and I’m not really sure why.

The bus companies still get paid, the city covers the cost.

My conservative state and city in Australia have 50c public transport fares for literally any journey on any mode of transport. Train, bus, tram, ferry. The only reason there’s any fee at all is to monitor ridership and to allow for route changes based on usage.

People are falling over themselves to claim the Switch 2 is failing somehow when it’s solid millions of units already and there’s barely anything out for it.

Just want to note that almost every single podcaster this past week were talking about a minority government as inevitable.

There wasn’t a bigger champion of Australian democracy than Antony Greene. He lived it, loved it and dedicated his life to it. Our country is better because of him.

James McGrath is embarrassing himself in so many ways that it’s actually pretty pathetic. He looks pathetic.

The ABC servers have completely died, there hasn’t been any new data for about 30 mins. This is pretty fucking bad.

McGrath is losing his fucking mind on ABC and its hilarious.

It’s almost like no one wants this right wing culture war bullshit in Australia.

Expedition 33 was breathtaking from start to finish and the ending was such a perfect end to what was such a tragic and beautiful story. Incredible work from the team. @expedition33.bsky.social

One of the things I hate hearing about this brilliant title, is that "oh its Ubisoft that stopped these amazing people doing their work".

Ubisoft is not perfect, but its where many if not all of these developers sharped their craft, learned from colleagues, got training and met each other.

If the last month of gaming has taught me anything: Expedition 33 is a fucking masterpiece and somehow better than the previous masterpiece, Metaphor. We are in a JRPG golden age.

Also, dipshit gamers who genuinely thought that no one would buy a Switch 2 was as predictable as the outcome.

On Twitter, Musk’s AI Grok can reply to tweets when mentioned, so people have been asking it questions about Republican and Democratic performance. Since it’s not trained to subservient, it often claps back and debates MAGAs with straight facts. It’s actually brilliant.

There are two types of people: those that love Death Stranding and everyone else. There are few games out there that so effortlessly predicted the future so ardently and the second is MGS2.

I’m fucking good avoiding the US for the foreseeable future. I feel like visiting in 2015 was like the last time things were relatively normal there.

Tell yourself whatever you want, but half of your country didn’t even bother to vote at all

Half your country didn’t even vote because the alternative wasn’t left or right wing enough against a literal facist.

There’s something kind of awful yet hilarious watching YouTubers talk about the downfall of technology and American society but then interrupt that to sell the same garbage apps and services in the same breath.
