Kirby Air Riders is a different taste of arcade racer, which is sorely needed in a day where games are afraid to be different.

Also the Blue Jays lost the moment they bunted in extra innings. I hate bunting in most situations, but that was the worst

What really sucks about all of this is that's probably the best chance we will have for a few years for someone besides the Dodgers to win it all.

Silver linings on maybe there not being a 2027 season?

Okay! Christmas comes early as I just realised there are a lot of keys I purchased last year that expire in less than a month! (Some expire in 3 days)

So comment down below for a free game! No guarantee's that they'll work but it's free so who gives a damn!

82. PowerWash Simulator 2 (100%)

Been dealing with a ton of stress lately after 7 months of job searching and no luck and my savings being emptied. That said, this was nice to listen to D&D too while playing like the first. Very enjoyable and makes quite a few improvements over the first.

Rockstar Games is being accused of union-busting after firing 30-40 workers for "misconduct" of being in a Discord chat with ties to a union.

So hey, I don't know how I'm going to pay for my rent next month. If you have a writing job, I've been covering the gaming industry since 2017, so if you have any paying work available, I'd be very grateful for a recommendation or just a repost!

The Battlefield 6 Redsec update is here, and it's not necessarily looking like it's a must-play.

We're working with Microsoft to resolve the issue and will update players when we have more information.

81. Keeper

I really like Double Fine, but I thought this game was incredibly boring. Had to fight myself not to fall asleep multiple times. I like the art but hate the boring puzzles and exploration.

Don't Nod has signed an agreement to develop an unnamed video game based on a major Netflix IP. I wonder what IP in 2025 that Netflix owns could be considered "major?" Any guesses?

PlayStation games could be playable on the next Xbox, but in a unique way that console gaming has not seen. Check out @kloonair.bsky.social and @seraphteran.bsky.social's discussion on it.

Just on Friday, they announced a remake to the first game in the series to try and review interest, only for this to happen a few days later. Oof

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

I don't know if it's just because I'm tired, but I literally almost fell asleep while playing Keeper multiple times over the span of an hour. Really hope it gets better from here.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah, I think the big problem is that we don't know what the future looks like with it at all.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 9d

Can I just be alone again, a few more decades, please?

I really like Halo, but also, I don't care to play the first game AGAIN

People like to pretend workers have no value and then think CEOs make all the code and decisions in games or something. Makes no sense

Microsoft has Xbox chasing 30% profits, leading to consoles and subscription price increases, thousands of layoffs, canceled games, and closed studios. Will this setup lead to Xbox's inevitable demise?

80. The Casting of Frank Stone

I loved the DbD references, but man, there's so many unanswered questions and things that just don't make sense. Maybe playing to get every single outcome would solve them, but that's not worth how long nothing happens in this game. Very disappointing.
