A nightmarish image in black and white of countless malformed and slightly demonic-looking cats, all piled up on top of each other.
A rare weekend update today at GameCritics.com - Stephen Cook reviews Mewgenics and finds that it marries tactical action with deep breeding mechanics that unfold over time, and all of it draped in signature McMillen (Binding of Isaac) style. It's a winner.

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

Two mad max-style cars crash towards the viewer, each bristling with metal spikes and blades. In the background, a huge explosion lights up the night sky.
Also up at GameCritics.com today, Konstantin Koteski covers Carmageddon: Rogue Shift.
This classic series reappears in updated fashion, yet the experience is humble and bland in a way that just can't measure up to its glory days.

A cartoonish, anime-style image of a young girl standing barefoot on a dock, fishing on a bright, summery day. The fish she's caught is leaping in the air, and in the background a green, tropical coastline can be seen.
Up today at GameCritics.com, Alex Prakken offers up a preview of Starsand Island. This life/farm/chill sim offers great vibes and a compelling balance of elements -- it just needs a better onramp.

Happy to check it out!
I do honestly think it's fantastic. Room to grow for sure, but what a marvelous thing it is. ^_^
Of course the question now is, what's next for you?
Hah! I appreciate you took the gamble 🙏 but let me just spoil it now, I love it. 🤩

Key art for "couples therapy" DLC from Vampire Therapist. Two gay vampires sit together on a couch, one looking a bit like a rugged cowboy, the other in a fancy aristocrat outfit, holding a cigarette in a long holder.

The Bureau of Justice statistics for 2021 show 34% of female murder victims were killed by an intimate partner, compared to 6% of male victims. However, FBI homicide data shows that killing committed by men is 10% more likely to be ruled justifiable. bit.ly/FreeKeshia

Us in 2018: All these “reasonable concerns” about gender-affirming care for trans kids is just step one in banning it for adults as well!
“Reasonable” moderate types: Don’t be ridiculous.

I don't understand people who have the "Or Best Offer" option turned on with eBay, and then turn down every offer that's below their asking price.
If you won't accept less than your asking price, why accept offers??
Nobody will offer you *above* what you're asking, so what's the point???
I told my grandma Phil Spencer retired and she started sobbing. Through the cascade of tears rolling down her face and hyperventilating she muttered “Co-Pilot please draft an email thanking Phil for his brave service in the console wars”
She then died. Her ashes sprinkled at a data center nearby

A screenshot in first-person view showing the player holding up a sword. ahead is a low-detail enemy pirate holding their own sword while standing in a grassy field with a sun blinding the player with too much bloom overhead.
Up today at GameCritics.com, new writer John Powell covers Salt 2: Shores of Gold and finds that this low-stakes pirate adventure is bad enough to give the kraken a tummyache.

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

A dark image of two tiny children wearing masks (one looks like a burlap sack, one is perhaps a rabbit) standing inside the mouth of an open sewer pipe that seems to empty out into pure darkness.
Up today at GameCritics.com, Jason Ricardo reviews REANIMAL from @tarsierstudios.bsky.social.
It might not be called Little Nightmares, but it still fits the description and still brings the same sort of skin-crawling horror that will keep you up at night!

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Stephen Colbert went against CBS’ wishes and discussed why his interview with Texas State Representative James Talarico would not air on “The Late Show.”

given this won't appeal to people who care for the process or understanding of how to make things, and exists solely for people who view games as a means to some other profitable end, unity wants to imply these games can be profitable. were that true unity would pump them out instead of selling this
