In the USA even the very wealthy old men must perform as gladiators until death in inhospitable outposts like Indianapolis in order to provide their children with medical care.

Anthony Geary also died yesterday. He was best known generally for being on General Hospital, but he was best known to me for being in UHF.

There is something very amusing to me about the narrative of Bungie's Marathon's being about people trying to claim a distant objective and failing at it, and then (as the Game Director puts it) "all these corporations that were invested now going, 'What happened? How do we recoup our investment?'"
Bungie has set a release window of March 2026 for its extraction shooter, Marathon.
The date lines up with the end of Sony's fiscal year and previous suggestions from the company.
Bungie says it has made several improvements since the game's Closed Alpha playtest, which received middling feedback.

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored
!["We are the ones who poured our blood, sweat, tears, sanity, and health into these games,” shouted one who paid tribute to a friend who’d just passed, who he said loved video games and hated corporate exploitation. “The ones who made the games are outside. [Bosses and executives] are inside patting themselves on the back. ... And what was our reward? Many of us were cast aside as soon as the products were created because we weren't needed anymore. And those who were lucky enough to stay [now] find themselves debugging ChatGPT code."
Some present had direct personal experience with the video game industry’s current layoff-centric strategy. Earlier this year, Timothy Staton-Davis, who attended the protest dressed in a grim reaper cloak and holding a plastic scythe, was part of a small round of layoffs at Brass Lion Entertainment, which is currently working on Wu-Tang: Rise Of The Deceiver.
“There were a few of us they had to let go of because of monetary issues,” Staton-Davis told Aftermath. “It’s their first game. They’re trying to pull through. They’ve been negatively affected by the current industry situation in a lot of ways because of mismanagement of money. It’s not the studio’s fault, but from our partners and all that kind of stuff.”
“My first studio gig was at Monolith,” he continued. “Now they’re gone. Unfairly so. All these studios I’ve been connected to have been negatively affected in some way, shape, or form by people not doing the right things with their money and taking advantage of folks.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreifyv7erpamrntagfmpqwndofhftfpiszgguefbunyy6iyz6dhavxy@jpeg)

It’s so funny that a Berserk Brand of Sacrifice tattoo is far less fraught than a comparable Harry Potter tattoo just from a content perspective.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Update: YouTube straight up removed another video about loot boxes. They’re just hitting anything that mentions gambling regardless of context.
What a ridiculous platform.
What a ridiculous platform.
YouTube restricted an old video about loot boxes being restricted by gambling laws under the “sale of regulated goods policy.”
Yes YouTube, my vids famously “depict or promote” gambling. Those years of anti-loot box videos were secretly pro-loot box the entire time, you ridiculous dumbfuck site 😂.
