Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

electability is the least of my worries man. you win when your policies are implimented, you don't win when you're the one doing them.

encouraging thing about polanski is to see someone recognising the job of a minority party leader isn't necessarily to win national elections, it's to extend the arguments that centrist parties aren't willing to and reframe the limits of public discourse. this has been farage's method for 20 years!

what a refreshing change to see a politician stand firmly on trans rights, refuse to concede the right-wing framing of trans people as "a problem", and rightly call out ridicule and bigotry in the guise of "common sense"

TIPS FOR GETTING BETTER AT DEADLOCK:

- Understand the threat level of spending time in areas of the map where enemies could quickly respond
- Keep an eye out for enemies on the map! If they're not there, they could be right next to you!
- Throw on Slayer's '86 album Reign in Blood

the real secret to getting high traffic indie game coverage is having an interesting game that people would actually want to read about

Maxi Molina @maximjdev.bsky.social · 4d

Pretty much nobody cared about The Hayseed Knight's press releases "this whatever game is coming out" news in sites that would even give me the time of day, but it only took @dashiellwood.com finding a good angle to tell the story for the article to go viral everywhere!! There's an audience!!

i wish games editorial could freely share their traffic data so that indies could understand just how little traffic their launch news after 7 years of dev does compared to like. Widely Anticipated AAA Game Posts Trailer Showing New Character's Face For 3 Total Seconds

i just realized there's a pretty good chance that in 20 years people are going to be nostalgic for the shitty, glossy appearance of generative AI. there will be video filters that make you look like you were generated with a mid 2020s-era AI tool
