Literally my two favorite genres!
To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

And here's Rebecca Heinemann herself telling how she freaking LEARNED JAPANESE just to read SNES dev manuals from NCL. The whole hour-long stream on Out of this World is a delight. Thank you, Becky. You'll be missed.

It is odd to see how people just ignored the fact that valve has been saying this since the announcement.

They said repeatedly, to everyone they talk to, that it would be priced similar to PCS and wasn't looking to compete with consoles.

Gaming coverage loves list wars though so they ignored it.

For hypothetical research purposes, there might a person purchase one of these delightful machines?
A company is reportedly withdrawing its $99 AI teddy bear from the market after researchers found it told a tester where to get knives, pills and matches when asked.

It also spoke graphically about sex positions and sexual kinks.
AI toys can cajole kids or be made to discuss sex, watchdog groups warn

In PR, we call this “bridging,” part of exec speaker training. When media ask a question you don’t want to/can’t/are afraid to answer, you acknowledge the question and change direction to the topic you want to/are allowed to/are comfortable answering. This is also an example of terrible bridging
Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

Lumines Arise is an incredible culmination of much of Mizuguchi and Enhance's legacy, and the result is something that Lex needed now more than ever.

Last week, I sat down with @enhance-experience.com to discuss the development of Lumines Arise and the 'Kondo' philosophy that informs every meticulous design decision at the Japanese studio.

P.S. I've played a huge amount of Arise and it is, as you might expect, an absolute banger.

Just learned that Creature Comforts Brewing has closed their downtown LA location aka the brewery at Summer Game Fest Play Days. Really glad that @iam8bit.com gave me my shot to be in there with my former jerb this past June. We had a blast and the CCB staff were awesome.

TRON: ARES was a good TRON movie. Yes, Leto is weird but the movie looked and sounded great and tied in well with the ones that have come before it. Immediately after viewing, I turned on the NIN soundtrack in my helmet comms, jumped on my motorcycle and cut off a cybertruck. The future is now.

Will never forget watching him plunge into the Standard’s rooftop pool at an E3 afterparty because he was wearing sunglasses at 11 pm and thought there was a plastic cover over the water.
