I'm so tired of the people who will never see the consequences for failure setting unrealistic expectations for success.

More great, human interviews on Rogue.site let's fucking go

I was really impressed with @inkle.co's TR-49 and I wanted to know more. I'm extremely grateful to @jon.inkle.co for his time and his really great answers.

Another update: I have reached the state of Deadlock where I complain loudly to myself that the matchmaking is bad, because I just had two back-to-back games where other teammates died 10+ times in lane. And I'm pissed. I hate this game. Queuing up for another.

MOBAs are so back, baby.

The desperate coziness of HumanitZ The real challenge of the apocalypse is not giving up hope of building something better.

HumanitZ from @join-indie-io.bsky.social is a lonely, desperate game that leaves room for hope … once you find a new pair of pants.

Marathon is def just as much about knowledge and decision making as it is gun skill

Also, I think I might be good at Deadlock? Like not great, but I'm Emissary 3, which is apparently like top 33%?

Being good at a competitive game I like? I sucked ass at League for like 5 years and never got above Gold only to be like Emerald in Deadlock.

I have played so much Deadlock in the past two weeks.

Peter Thiel during a 2025 New York Times interview.

Peter Thiel not only looks like a person who was bitten in a zombie apocalypse and is hiding it from the rest of the survivors, but *also* looks like someone who already knows what human flesh tastes like and is looking forward to tasting it again

Really love doing this show. And really thrilled to see that so many folks are enjoying it!

Just a few more weeks until we know everything (most things? Nothing, actually?) about the full game

Inside the sun? On then surface of a different star? The cold vacuum of space?

No bad ideas in a brainstorm.

I think we are really hogging Bill Maher, as a people. And that’s just not fair to the rest of the universe.

It’ll be hard, but I think we might need to share him.

He’s been _so great_, but where hasn’t he been that might need him more?

I’m thinking the surface of the sun? Open to other ideas.

“Don’t use AI is a luxury position”

I've spent quite a bit of time with Mewgenics over the past few weeks and it's pretty cool. There's a lot going on here.

It's also a long game that I don't have fun playing for prolonged periods.

My impressions:

The challenge in Cairn lies in more than just the climbing Cairn is a game that asks if the destination is worth the journey

Loneliness, struggle, and a robot companion make for satisfying, meditative experience.

A History of Helldivers 2: The Reclamation The Automatons had been eradicated from the galaxy... but somehow, they returned.

In the newest look back at Helldivers 2's Second Galactic War, we examine the surprise return of the Automaton fleet and resulting battles across the western sectors. www.rogue.site/editorials/a...

Dove back into Highguard's new mode over the weekend and really enjoyed it ...

Unrelated, I have put about 8 hours into Deadlock since this mode came out.

Sharing again for the morning crowd.

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post.

I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage.

My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.

We’re all Union folk at our core.

Part of what makes things feel so frustratingly unfair in the world right now is that equitable distribution of funds is pretty easy!

We’re going to do our best to prove that.

This is great to hear ❤️ It's one of those things that you type and you hope to god the care comes through

Hey, this is very exciting!

Please share if you know some writers!

Please pitch if you'd like!

And please support us if you can!

I appreciate the world's dumbest people being able to say

"Oh man, I think I was wrong when I voted for this administration. They're so bad they actually proved the catastrophizing leftists right lmao"

But the signs were obviously there, dipshit. And now people are dead. So maybe shut the fuck up?
