Reviews becoming irrelevant is downstream of people ignoring them and buying games based on vibes/trailers/streamers, not something devs caused by failing to create the conditions for their production. Silksong may be huge, but it doesn't bear responsibility for this trend. Come on.
Ice cream is healthy in any situation, frankly.
It’s actually fine to cut right wing family out of your life, and the continued insistence that we see their cruel bullshit as a Difference Of Opinion is exactly what has led to RFK being treated like a legitimate political figure instead of a wheezing serial killer with a thing for essential oils.
Caeser: Ok, I walk to the Senate floor Caeser's GM: Roll for Initiative Brutus: 12 Albinus: 15 Longinus: 6 Caeser: ....1
Whatever Senator chooses to beat Kennedy with a bat repeatedly before asking him “what do you think of that?” is the immediate 2028 frontrunner.
This is what I (a writer) am always saying to my boss when they ask for status updates on the writing project(s) I have been assigned.
Sometimes being kind to yourself means laughing at the fucking idiots and lunatics trying to make the world more miserable for you (and everyone, really.)
I'm going with PlayStation but... It isn't up yet on the store, despite being 53 minutes past launch time. So, that might make the choice easier for you.
Playstation store going with "I don't know her"
I am spam refreshing PSN right now so I can't help but assume X-box is Silkposting.
PlayStation store doesn’t even have it up yet lol.
Happy for you that you get access an hour early and also mad
They should invent someone who interacts with strangers on social media in a way that would be described as “normal” and/or “pleasant.”
why would they make a song out of silk? preposterous. a child’s thought.
That’s my favorite classic online discourse insult from losers. My new favorite is, over the course of discussing a specific topic, is accusing someone of being a “one issue voter.” Like… I’m sorry three short posts were devoted to the topic hand and not the totality of my beliefs?
I don’t know why everyone else doesn’t want this, but I’d happily be threatened with a good time.
Hell yeah! Hope the kid feels better soon and that they make the clearly correct hiring choice here.
If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up
Crime is happening somewhere! I scrolled by a carjacking snuff film that looked eerily like Russian dashcam footage but was labeled as "Deep Baltimore." But where I am? Lol no. No crime happening here. Anyway we must stop the crime that is constantly, vaguely happening in any and all elsewheres.
What I love about this is how fucking textbook USA this is, right down to the CIA having their plans go up in smoke because they couldn't implement anything clandestinely to save their fucking lives.
Silksong is the rare game where the bugs are both features and bugs.

Couch-shaped salamander could fuck their way through the entire administration.
Office days are usually less productive than work from home days for me, but today I finished a 2500 word draft of a real banger of an article. That said, my biggest accomplishment today was hacking into an adjacent floor’s bathroom when both our stalls were occupied for thirty+ minutes.
Tom Suozzi and every pro-genocide democrat should create their own party, because I don’t want these ghouls in my party.

1. Noise is good 2. C-tier track “Heresy” hits way harder in the midst of Christian fascism 3. Everyone in my 90s industrial club went to the beach that makes you old wtf
Our latest Gamers With Jobs dives deep on @worldofkir.bsky.social Beto O’Byrnes’s triumph against Baldur’s Gate 3 honor mode, challenge modes in general, and a few neat games you can play that aren’t Silksong! Take a break from the ongoing horrors and check it out here or on your app of choice:
Anyone who says: “well RFK has some good ideas,“ should be written off as crazy. Sure, there’s lots of people that have talked about reforming the food system and making sure kids get a more balanced diet, but they’re also not conspiracy theorists and liars. Do not promote the wrong people.
My biggest mistake was the time I attempted a freelance career in a country that ties - get this - healthcare to full time employment. This was a subset of my ur-mistake of being born just as Reagan was about to permanently fuck up an already fucked up society.
Here are my 6 tips for getting more out of copilot: 1) Do your best to avoid using copilot 2) When you are forced to use copilot, atonally scream 3) Buy a Mac 4) Rest assured nobody else wants this either 5) Whenever says something positive about AI, punch them 6) Never turn on a computer ever
The big announcement was postponed as it turns out putting peanut butter in their gums to make them appear to talk only works on horses, not corpses.
The price of freedom is apparently eternal vigilance.
one of the most shameful takes I've seen in a while
Absolutely co-sign this sentiment. Been enjoying the heck out of it even as grizzled DRPG vet and it’s almost never on sale. Get it while the getting is good.
The (Ottoman) Empire Strikes Back
Rule of threes has me thinking someone will drop a couch on Vance from a great height.
I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.
Wild that humans used hieroglyphs for thousands of years, swapped over to an alphabet for a couple thousand, then one generation dipped back heavy into hieroglyphs for a 20ish years, and now it’s lame to use them and reveals you are an old.
When Nate Silver continues his obsessions with the website
The most bluesky-ass bluesky thing that happened to me on bluesky was being accused of being a one-issue voter every day for three days straight about three different issues.
Would it be okay to plug your work on the podcast? I think it’s terrific and I know we have folks who might be interested!
Rest assured that if anything bad ever happens to me, I was doing something extremely cool and good and normal literally moments before the bad thing happened.
New Final Destination marketing campaign has been wild.
Silksong level where you chase a worm into RFK jr’s brain.
It sucks shit that life is an iron man challenge. We should at least get a few quick saves.
Yeah I'm back on "He's Definitely Dead And They're Covering It Up."
the haters and losers will say it's foolish to indulge in wild speculation but you can't deny it's extremely funny that they have to write headlines like this
In that F&F segment, he said “I’m not doing well” which was originally thought to mean he didn’t think he would go to heaven but could be a report on something his doctor said to him.
Added conjecture is based on the above plus apparently he him called into Fox and Friends and discussing the afterlife, claiming Ukraine peace push was to get into heaven.
Just yelling the German word for “the” at my phone over and over.
Added funny for that day - We can also claim he delayed it by one week for the Silksong launch.
The amount of delays for not just game releases due to Silksong is wild. Just met someone who recently turned 45 and had their colonoscopy rescheduled for Q1 2026.
Two neat things about me is that people have seen me recently and I have events scheduled this weekend.
Would legit rule if it was like twenty minutes later and his passing was just buried by the bigger news.
Trump has no events scheduled for this weekend and hasn’t been seen since Wednesday. IS IT HAPPENING
Man, the amount of people who will argue with you if you suggest people in power are responsible for their failures, not nameless voters is shocking. Why do you all hate yourselves? You deserve better and if you get frothing angry at someone for suggesting as much… yikes.
Block your ass and get on with my life is “wad I gonna do.”
I think you deserve better than shit. I’m sorry that you don’t think that.
Where did I say I’m a one issue voter or that I didn’t vote? If you are projecting who I am and what I did you have left the conversation. I am telling y’all not to blame people without power for the failures of people with power. Hear that or not But stop making shit up about someone you don’t know
Most people live in states where their vote doesn’t matter. It’s on the party and the candidate to inspire people, not the voters to show up regardless of the horrors. Harris could have won, but she and the Democratic Party failed to clear the low bar of being anti-genocide. You can do better.
No, they didn’t. By definition. I’m sorry but Harris had every opportunity to win and she didn’t. That’s not on people with no power. Harris blew it. Not a dude who didn’t vote in CA because he couldn’t stomach dead children. Hold the powerful to account if you want better outcomes. Or FO.
A thing you could try doing is blaming powerful people for fucking up instead of people with no power for not being able to stomach [checks notes] a genocide.
Y’all devastated me to the brink of incoherence
I regret that my tenses in this post were all over the map - a testament to how wrecked I was.
And I’m saying stop fantasizing about having fewer options or, if you must do that, don’t use it as a premise to argue with people who are dealing with actual reality (which is that it is 2025 - not 2028 - and there are more options, including non-loathsome ones!)
But there aren’t two choices. There are so many more. What are you going to do? Preemptively settle for fascism light when you could do literally anything else?
Old Skies was a game I was enjoyed so much I hesitated to finish the last mission. Glad I did. Beautiful. Congrats to @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social, @sallybeaumont.bsky.social, and @abegoldfarb.bsky.social for sending me to so many places emotionally, and to the rest of the team. Blasting stellar job.
Thank you for resting your case that we should throw some people to the wolves for no particular reason. It was a terrible case, poorly argued, but at least it’s finally done.
the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.
Having a modicum of self respect is ironically one of the reasons I can clearly state Gavin Newsom is a piece of shit.
Yeah, we’re in a thread talking about one issue, so that must be all I care about. Brilliant response. A+ sticking your head in the sand. You have to protect everyone or you are protecting no one. But if you’d rather waste time and energy defending a sack of shit, that’s on you.
It takes like one second of googling to find him making anti-trans comments on his podcast. And if you dig even slightly farther it’s easy to see that he’s veto’d multiple pieces legislation that LGBTQ advocates backed and worked behind the scenes to stall and delay a transgender protection bill.
I also have a thief and would happily trade his wife and her lover for the witch and the toad. I can’t part with the cook though, even if you throw in the mushroom.
Reading any online discussion of any book where the lead character is anything other than 100% likable is so fucking depressing. I don’t know how to write for entitled adult children who don’t want to feel bad for one second.
I have already played Hugo Award Winning masterpiece @cavesofqud.com, before you ask. So far Hugo awards are batting 1.000.
Started reading the Hugo winners. Needed something lighter to kick it off, so I started with the Tainted Cup. Thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely recommend. It’s a fantasy/mystery that touches upon a lot of relevant shit for today in a fun, breezy package. Up next is Speculative Whiteness.
god. damn.

Latest episode of Gamers With Jobs is LIVE. That’s right, we didn’t change our release schedule on account of Silksong. Listen to @turbohoodie.com, @amoebic.bsky.social, and I discuss games, gamescon, and more!
the most irritating thing is that Microsoft refuses to take "no" as enough with this shit. every couple weeks i re open Word and i have to say no to copilot again, or I get prompted to enable it when doing something else on my machine leave me the fuck alone, @microsoft.com
It is unclear what this will actually achieve. Regulations are not stopping AI from doing stuff. They have all the money in the world, AI startups are allowed to run inefficiently and unprofitably, data center development is unimpeded by the government, funding is unimpeded...what do they even want?
I will add to this that any potential Dem presidential candidate should already be saying that they do not recognize the authority of these bribed and delegitimized judges and do not consider them members of SCOTUS, and furthermore will not recognize any of their findings as valid.
Damn, Silksong even has some mildly famous people changing the dates they planned to propose to their absurdly famous partners. Everyone is clearing their early September.
I'm definitely pro-condemning the deployment of the military to American cities, but it might also be worth Dems carving out a bit of messaging bandwidth to make fun of these guys for being *so fucking corny*
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
What do we think the offensive word is here, I wonder?
There are many genres of uncle. Uncle that causes a scene at Thanksgiving. Uncle that lives alone and accumulates stuff. Uncle that can remember their past lives. If I was an uncle, I think I’d be “niche hobby uncle who introduces you to the good shit”

The middle ground is abolishing ICE and prosecuting ICE and top administration officials in a Nuremberg style process. They're putting immigrants in concentration camps and torturing them. There's no middle ground to be had. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Cuomo: "Warriors, come out to play!" Mamdani: "Come out to play!"
2025 vibes are like
we see very clearly in public polling that people in california and D.C. hate the deployments and that americans broadly disapprove of them, but here we have an assertion that the smart strategy is to avoid any discussion of the situation in favor of a pivot to, you guessed it, kitchen table issues.
