What did @nicklutsko.bsky.social know?
Games that I like respect my time, games I don't like are all filler. Gta5 = all filler, animal crossing on GameCube= time respecter
I will variously grouse about Blue Prince being an asshole about RNG, but I never want to hear anyone say it doesn't respect your time. It absolute respects your time. It is just sexually aroused by making you jump through hoops. The Designer is VERY present: They're sitting in the cuck chair.
Well now you gotta prove/disprove it by putting on a hat and going :3
If it helps you also look like the guy from the cover of the 2004 game 'Men of Valor':
Pricing for each Lenovo Go 2 version: - $1,099.99 for 16GB of RAM and 1TB for storage - $1,199.99 for 32GB of RAM and 1TB - $1,349.99 for 32GB RAM and 1TB - $1,479.99 for 32GB RAM and 2TB I can only imagine how much the Xbox branded one will be 🥲
Wild how these guys have all been credibly accused, or even convicted, of multiple crimes, then just get up there and say "no interest in legality and keeping it legal here!" and everyone just smiles and nods
At the heart of gen AI sits a massive economic problem: LLMs are too expensive to charge a monthly fee for, and that is what every single LLM company charges. This will never work. www.wheresyoured.at/why-everybody-is-losing-money-on-ai/#what-if-it-isnt-possible-to-make-a-profitable-ai-company
More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.
This guy? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_...
So "sexy" is fraught but "looks like an excellent husband and a tender, attentive lover" is easy cus dude looks awesome and surely that's good enough?
OK but Rondell Sheridan is hot as hell so I say it as a compliment.
That's definitely more than enough! Thank you! Going to find him online and let him know you said so

Someone please tell me that the dad from that's so ravens is sexy
Having one of those days where I tell my coworkers that people used to make fun of me online by saying I look like the dad from that's so ravens and instead of reassurance that I look much more like Lenny Kravitz or the rock they all laugh and say "oh shit I totally see it!"
put "Boogie Nights" into the Fortnite maps, cowards
Because he's lifeless

The good news? The script for the ALIEN: ROMULUS sequel is officially finished. The bad news? Fede Álvarez will not be returning to direct.
River City Girls, they're unforgettable💅👊💥 Happy 6 years to RCG! My partner Raph & I still haven't played the sequel, but we had fun co-opping the first game during the 2020 lockdown. I'll never forget Kyoko's iconic dab move😂 #rivercitygirls #cosplay #wayforward

I want you to ask yourselves honestly, if a 50-something year old man started speaking to a minor who is cisgender, speculating what kind of pornography they watch, asking them if they've "groomed" (read: sexually abused) other minors, would that not be quite plainly sexual harassment?
I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.
Will buy it twice
I art directed and did graphics on this game. I promise it's something special
Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
You look fantastic!
I would have been sure this series just started a few years ago haha
A weird one but I love it s lot

This immediately made me think of the @mega64official.bsky.social video from 9 years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD84...
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
From the looks of the trailers it's just... Twerking physics? And boats? Idk not a big graphics guy haha
My god, these games SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK so much. But anyway.
It would probably fair about as well as the original hollow knight, which was... pretty good?

I'M CHECKING OUT THAT HOT NEW METROIDVANIA EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT!
My commissions are still open and I could use the money! Get some cool illustrations before the holidays sneak up! #commissionsopen
If the upcoming gta6 wasn't part of the GTA franchise, was instead called something like "criminal acts", but had the exact same pre-release trailers and other promotional material, how many people would be planning to buy it? Half the people who are now? 10%? Less?
Some thoughts on the cultural gravity well that's formed around GTA 6
Over 200 mass shootings a year by cis white guys borrowing ARs from their dads or some shit but ofc the minority easiest to target is what sparks “”action””
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
Saw this roadside graffiti on my travels. Someone is trying to locate @tronknotts.bsky.social I think.
I had forgotten that! But she echoes in my mind all th time. Every time I am for some reason watching baseball and someone screws up, I hear her in my head saying "baseball furies dropped the ball!"
That's awesome! Yeah, watching the movie, which I had put off for so long, was really eye-opening to just how influential its visual shorthand had become across a lot of other media, even outside of direct references like in John Wick 4 where they had the homage to the radio DJ.
I haven't actually gotten to read it yet myself, still waiting for my copy to come in the mail, but I am so proud that I got to help record your story, and am so excited for people to have the chance to get to know you through the piece. You're an amazing role model
Oh Jackie I had no idea! That's so painful. Thank you so much again for being so open and wonderful to talk to, and if for whatever reason it would be cathartic for you to share more with me about anything that's happened since, I'm here for it. Rooting for you all the way

I actually talked to one of the original character designers of double dragon who said the vests worn by the lee brothers, as well as the vest worn by the guy in renegade, we're directly influenced by the warriors
I didn't get a point to mention this on the show but I feel like the movie the Warriors directly inspired beat 'ems like Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Ninja Turtles with the theming of the different gangs and the locations such as the subway stations/cars.
It's absolutely wild to read this interview with Dan & I which was done 3 FREAKING years ago (ty @tronknotts.bsky.social for the interview)! Too much has happened since then and it's weird looking back. I wish there was an easy way of sharing the article so people could read it
I uh..... 🫥 #mgsdelta
WHAT!!!???
"On Sunday, the govt tried to kidnap hundreds of Guatemalan kids and sneak them out of the country. This gross abuse was only halted by the quick action of Judge Sooknanan. It was a remarkable display of judicial tenacity and a testament to how the DOJ has shredded its credibility with the courts."
Beyond self parody
You have a better understanding of why the game succeeded than I do, while also being way less interested in those reasons than I am. Its blessing and a curse to be you!
You had a solid anecdote about meeting a Beastie Boy I had never heard before. There was pizza involved.
I went on a real tear about my experience on mtv's road rules and how I was a part of the channel's eventual identity crisis and subsequent decline. Also some talk if the beastie boys and Yoda playing drums with lightsabers
I can think of multiple very well done hand drawn games, Metroidvanias, games about bugs, about knights, that were released around the same that barely made a splash. And it certainly wasn't the marketing. So I'm at a loss
It's podcast overload day! The Spin-Offs are back with our resident MTV expert @tronknotts.bsky.social to talk about a show that married video games and early 2000's pop music called Video Mods. Listen to find out what Sponge Bob has to do with Blink-182. open.spotify.com/episode/2woF...
I like hollow knight but I couldn't tell you why it became a *thing* and countless other great games didn't

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere
Its tricky because as awful as she is, she does try to help other people, just in ways that are based on belief fueled by bigotry and hate. As a kid, I would hope there is more of a chance to guide her towards more valid and good beliefs (for instance, I just taught my ten year old to like oranges)

Shes so good! I've seen her art many times before but I wrongly assumed it was reposts from some rich and successful cartoonists I've never heard of
My girlfriend, Kiki, has been ruthlessly critical of her work recently to the point of breaking down crying. I am doing my best to tell her she's a fantastic artist. Please, help me show her by sharing her ko-fi store, say something nice and consider picking up her comics. ko-fi.com/frokenkeke/s...
Personally I think it was the guy who was running the country. Whoever that was
trump wants state-sanctioned violence in major cities, and when the people resist, trump will pretend that the resistance is the real violence and use it as an excuse to escalate. but here's the thing. even without resistance, his escalation is inevitable. we're seeing it. bsky.app/profile/kenk...
Very cool how we have literally in the last few years restructured our entire economy around this technology that is being rapidly abandoned by everyone involved. Really bodes well.
Pro life my ass.
Actually yes I think littl kids aren't capable of evil. Just imagine how fast any democratic nominee, let alone president, would be shunned by their party if they started hanging out with a woman who calls little kids (who are being bombed and starved to death!) evil
Huge news, everyone! Jack Flash's voice has been revealed!
Is this real?
Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.
I will be talking about the game to no end, but I wanted to take a moment now to spotlight the core team: We have @aesthetic.games on development, @castpixel.bsky.social on art, @smaxophone.bsky.social on design/music, and @jackgutmann.bsky.social on VFX @mysticforgeinc.bsky.social is publishing.
It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Reporter: What is your message to President Trump? Epstein Survivor: Listen, I don't want to send a direct message to him. I'm already scared enough. Just pass the vote. Listen to us. This is not a hoax. It’s not going to go away
When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

there are so many pieces of art that i just feel in my flesh are "for me" — i don't care about anything except how it makes me feel, what memories it begins to resurface... cronos: the new dawn, bloober team's self-reinvention after SH2, is one of those things www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...
