First part would have just been a great game in itself. The more they try to wedge in Chris Redfield stuff makes it worse imo no matter the game

yesterday Conde's biggest cover story of 2025 (I think it's safe to say) got nominated for an ASME: a cover story about a trans woman, produced by a team that i helped guide as a trans person. and in the 11 months since it came out, they got rid of almost all of us

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

Death Stranding 2 will get a 21:9 ultrawide mode on PS5, not just on PC. Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC on March 19th, and the system requirements are fairly relaxed, except for needing 150GB of SSD storage β€” an especially tough ask for portable players (who are getting...

Got confirmation from Aram Jabbari at Sony that Death Stranding 2's ultrawide mode on PS5 will be simulated (no surprise addition of native 21:9 support on console) just like Death Stranding Director's Cut www.theverge.com/games/883752...

Some writers will simply take pics with their phone at home. But few will scale mountains equipped with nothing but piss grenades and determination to get even better shots.

A former pro is helping figure skating look more authentic than ever Figure skating can be dull to watch on TV, so Jordan Cowan gets in the rink.

When I interviewed Jordan Cowan in 2021, he shared a dream of shooting the winter Olympics. If you've been watching figure skating coverage, those dramatic close-ups (including the viral Alysa Liu "that's what I'm fkn' talking about!" clip) - that's Jordan. He did it www.theverge.com/22303559/on-...

Bluepoint propped up Sony's underbaked PS5 launch with a very good remake of a cult classic. Bluepoint also propped up representation of Japan Studio's finest with a stellar remake. Who's left at Sony to do this kind of interesting, undervalued work?

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below πŸ₯Ή)

Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

In 1976, Rupert Murdoch bought the NY Post, which had been a liberal paper with fine columnists and sports coverage. Overnight, it became a far right tabloid; my father immediately cancelled his subscription. Seeing what's happened to WaPo, which once broke Watergate, the comparison is striking.
