Xbox Producer Criticized For AI Comments After Mass Layoffs A producer at Xbox Game Studios is criticized for comments that recommended AI tools to workers affected by recent layoffs across the gaming industry.

Just ghoulish and completely tone-deaf, in my humble opinion as a normal human being. Don't get me wrong, I think AI has its use cases, but there are countless better ways to seek emotional support than to turn to the soulless plagiarism machine.

There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.

An idea for the Everdark Tricephalos in Nightreign

> Starts as one gigantic new-model boss with nine heads

> Splits into three normal three-headed Gladius bosses

>Splits into nine smaller single-headed Gladius bosses

>Splits into 27 dogs from the Capra Demon fight

FromSoft, you know what to do

Donkey Kong Bananza Development Team Confirmed By Nintendo Nintendo reveals the development team behind Donkey Kong Bananza, confirming fan speculation since the game's reveal earlier this year.

Still left wondering who *exactly* is at the helm for DK Bananza, but hey, this puts the rumors to rest!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Update: @jusdberube.bsky.social has produced VIDEO of the Luigi world record spaghetti tub incident. This is easily the most unhinged thing I have watched this year

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Did Tony Hawk really just say "Hey everyone, it's me, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater"

All I have to say is.... SHAW!

Lego Party is such a good idea Im surprised it doesn't already exiat lol, playing that day 1 for *sure*

A Wu-Tang game in the year 2025. Let's fuckin' go.

SILKSONG MENTIONED??

I had no idea I wanted The Muppets Rocky until now... Felt That Boxing looks *unbelievable*

Omg hatsune miku and ichiban kasuga hiii

You can always tell when Geoff is about to introduce Hideo Kojima lmao

A 14 win streak? Absolute madman.

Everyone is hype for Silksong, but no-one is considering what will happen to the Silkposting community if Silksong releases... a million soldiers on the front lines of the meme wars, relieved of duty overnight.

What, are they supposed to start posting about the *game*? Like some kind of civvie?

One of my friends said it makes the Switch 1 look like a happy meal toy. Seeing them side by side and comparing the feel myself made me realize how... flimsy the original was

extremely funny that all the remaining non-nazi twitter people are like “hope you BLUESKY USERS are enjoying this” as though a) we cannot simply look at screenshots and b) today somehow validates their decision to continue staring into The Orb That Drives You Insane

Said it couldn't download because the game wasnt released yet for me... its midnight for me in 5 mins, maybe itll become available on the turn of the 5th in your time zone?*shrugs*

YIPPIEEE

Damn, the switch 2 is WAY bigger than the original switch. Feels so much less cramped in my adult-sized hands, too :D

Anyone who says that the Tamarian language from "Darmok" wouldn't work in real life doesn't know what they're talking about.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
