Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

at least 75 murders, so far, that we know of
One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

Reavers of New Rome is 40% off this week on Steam!

When your ancestors were exiled from New Rome, they left as Senators. Now, 100 years later, you return as a barbarian at the gates in this low-poly 3D Action-Adventure game!

Tales of Lost Ages is sitting below that 10 review threshold for Steam User Score (and a corresponding bump in the Steam Algorithm)

Especially with holiday sales coming up, it would be a massive help to get that review count up to 10. If you've played the game, please consider leaving a review

Being able to actually make a Corvette ship in No Man's Sky now that I have a Switch 2 is something I finally dove into today, and gosh did that end up consuming a bunch of time lol

Should the Epstein files be released in full it would undoubtedly be an irreconcilable scandal & disaster for Donald Trump - which is why I predict that Chuck Schumer will post hole on main during that press conference, to save the Republicans from another inevitable defeat.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.

Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

I get the thought of the original post because yeah! There is a hole where an outlet could spring up. But people really don't understand how expensive it is or how you need to have the clout to get that money in the first place.
People keep saying this and let me tell you, as one of way too many freelancers without a steady job, it is annoying!

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

Replayed Papers Please and man the fact that it feels GOOD as a border inspector to find something wrong in an immigrant's paperwork and deny them entry is such effective design-as-commentary.
