My review-in-progress of Battlefield 6 is live. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ba...

A screenshot of a PC Gamer story written by Tyler Colp. The headline reads: After cheaters broke Steam's most popular roguelike's leaderboards, its dev issued a fix and a warning: 'Cheaters you better watch your ass or I'm clapping your cheeks back to the shadow realm where you belong'

The Megabonk patch notes cracked me up lol www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away' Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around us—the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our society—I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

A slot machine for gags disguised as a Vampire Survivors-like is taking over Steam, and I'm just as addicted to pulling the lever as the other 90K people playing it Megabonk keeps on giving.

The award for The Most Video Game of the Year goes to Megabonk. www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...

Can you guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review? Take our quiz and see if you score a thumbs up! We're (overwhelmingly) positive you'll do great on this quiz.

We joke about Steam reviews but sometimes they get their point across in a single sentence whereas it takes me about 1,800 words. Anyway, I made a quiz where you try to guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review. Pretty much everyone is is acing it. www.pcgamer.com/games/can-yo...

EA's $55 billion acquisition is the biggest leveraged buyout in private equity history. Here's why it has everyone terrified Private equity and PIF investment aren't a reassuring pair.

"Private equity firms have gained a sinister reputation thanks to a counter-intuitive strategy in which firms can cannibalize their own acquisitions, extracting profits at the expense of the company and its workforce."

Sharp piece here from the shooter expert himself.

the video game you saw on that ncis episode is real and everyone is playing it

Inefficient And Laborious – The Ongoing Path To Making Deltarune We spoke with Toby Fox about his “stupid” way of making games and the big leap from Undertale to Deltarune.

I interviewed Toby Fox again. :) You can read the conversation in both and digital and print (!!!!!) editions of Game Informer. We talked about the “stupid” way to make games and his new journey with Deltarune. Read to see our convo and some awesome fan art.

Our Love-Hate Relationship with Silksong's Compass The misguided way Hollow Knight: Silksong has its compass take up an item slot adds frustration for frustration's sake.

i wrote about how i have a terrible sense of direction in games and in life. and also specifically hollow knight www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

A screenshot of a PC Gamer article about a Hollow Knight: Silksong player using speedrunning tricks to trap protagonist Hornet in jail. The text reads: "This is your end and your beginning," Kilroy says. "This is your life. And this is a particularly nasty kind of softlock because you're so close to freedom. You can get your stuff back, but you can never leave."

Silksong players are very normal. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

My first for Aftermath!! Thx for the great edits @rcmacleod.bsky.social

No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’ Is that even allowed?

I dug into that recent Pokémon patent on @theverge.com in the interest of getting some facts straight www.theverge.com/games/779062...

loll

Diablo 4's new 'Chaos armor' is a card game-inspired response to criticisms over boring seasonal powers Season 10 completely shakes up what Diablo builds can be.

I've been playing a lot of Path of Exile 2 and dreading another Diablo season with the exact same items to build around. This won't solve everything, but it's a really promising step in the right direction. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/di...

Album cover of Dance Gavin Dance's Pantheon, which is a hand-drawn illustration of a huge floating city that is mirrored both up and down, infinity symbols and the darkness of space and stars behind it.

I started a bearblog just to have a space to scribble down thoughts that aren't quite pitches but are too long for social media, and I decided to write about Dance Gavin Dance's new album Pantheon that came out today

The Buzziest Video Game of the Year Is Here. Its Success Proves Something. Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to one of gaming’s biggest surprise hits, offers a way forward in a bleak industry.

Crossword lovers in mourning as the New York Times commits its latest unspeakable act: Paywalling the Mini puzzle The popular daily puzzle is now seemingly an exclusive for NYT Games subscribers.

Thought it was so funny (derogatory) that the NYT up and put the Mini crossword behind its paywall that I had to blog it @defector.com style.

The combined fury of angry Overwatch players forced Blizzard to reverse a change it made less than 72 hours ago: 'We’re grateful to everyone who tried it out and shared feedback' Absolutely no one liked that.
