Wow it’s almost like putting “embrace AI” in your headline is going to deter people from actually reading into the fact that they want the kind of AI that aids in production and doesn’t replace workers

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant
This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

Well, that's annoying
Metroid Prime 4 has support for using the right joycon as a mouse, and the Switch 2 outright says it supports detaching the Joy Con controllers, but this seems to not apply to handheld mode? Sure, this is a niche setup, but I'm shocked it doesn't function *period*

The amount of self-restraint it must've taken to not plaster this shit in the marketing of the game is saintly. This is EXACTLY as stupid and overpowered as it looks, and I love it

The level of polish for even the most niche elements of Air Riders has been a joy to dig into. For instance: you might already know each rider has a dedicated animation for ramming into a wall; however, there's *additional* animations for characters with altered physical states in the air!

No more reposts or signal-boosts for people who screenshot text without a link. It’s 2025, and I am done even allowing for the possibility of good faith. You are denying readers context and depriving a writer and their outlet of any chance of profit, all for the sake of boosting your own clout. No.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Shoutouts to the bsky mod team for continually banning progressive voices without explanation, leading to ~24 hours where everyone calls them out for being dumbasses until they're inevitably reinstated. It's strange they've made that a routine, but it gives me someone new to follow every week or so

On one hand, the price-to-content discussion surrounding games lends itself to toxic derailment far too easily, and as such should be exercised with extreme caution
On the other hand, it can't be overstated how INSANE a launch price of $20 is for a product of this quantity and quality. Buy Silksong

I'll admit that I wasn't too crazy about Gavin Newsom at first, but the AI generated memes and homophobic jokes from his supporters really won me over

Do you know about the importance of the thumb-travel range for a controller analog stick?
This new concept will change the way we play games with analog sticks. *I'm dead serious.*
It also opens the way for thumbstick emulation for more accurate retro gaming.
Wanna know more? Read my article.

Air Riders looks INCREDIBLE so far, to a point it's almost dream-like. That is: this is how child me, hyperfixated on the original, would've imagined the sequel looking

LinkedIn might be the most net-negative social media platform I've ever seen. I've never once seen a "found this banger on LinkedIn" type post; the best it ever gets is self-deprecation like this
Does anyone ENJOY that platform? Has it ever served a function, or does everyone just pretend it does?

I'm old enough to remember a year or two ago when both "we're not killing journalists that's illegal!" and "We're not bombing *hospitals* for god's sake" were major talking points. Violations of these things now no longer seem to even register.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

Finished Donkey Kong Bananza
A profoundly cathartic gameplay loop from beginning to end. The Odyssey team crafted a true elevation of a formula they've already knocked out of the park. I can't believe how much genuine effort and passion went into the story beats of their FIRST-PARTY 3D PLATFORMER

One of the best parts about Bananza that I'm not seeing much discussion of: every single button/trigger performs a *unique* action
It's not like Odyssey where half the inputs share a function, arbitrarily locking certain techniques behind motion controls; now every move is tied to a physical input
