The Game Awards statue is a puzzle. Figuring out what it is isn’t leaking a reveal, it’s solving a puzzle. And I think the whole thing is great.

What’s the point here? Baby formula is a completely viable option. Some women do not want to nurse, some women can’t, some women can’t produce enough themselves, all of which are totally normal and fine. And we have baby formula to keep those babies alive and healthy.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

I want a modernized AAA Megaman game from Capcom more than I can possibly express to you. It is literally my absolute biggest gaming wish. The other two would be cool too.
Capcom has interest in revitalizing Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry and Mega Man with new titles, according to a 2025 company report

Elden Ring: Nightreign is so special. What a game. This new DLC just adds so many layers onto a game I have nearly 200 hours in and was still nowhere close to being bored. I love it so much. It’s a blast every time I play, even when everything goes wrong.

The fact that the Supreme Court is going to make a decision on this at all means to me that they’re going to side with Trump, and that’s insane.
There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

My hot gaming take of the day is that JRPGs should get back to being 25-40 hours long and not 80+ hours.

Started playing Islets now that I’m done with Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (which is fantastic, btw.) and Islets rules. Immediately very fun. Super solid metroidvania with some really charming writing.

Pretty wild to take the list of the ten biggest 3rd party publishers of console games in 2015 and look at what's happened with the ownership of each since.

If I want to try to find a positive takeaway from this it’s that at least ivermectin is unlikely to kill people, though it may cause some to forgo proper treatment and take ivermectin instead. Also, more people have parasites than you would think, so it may help that.
In lieu of affordable universal health insurance, Texans will now be given better access to de-worming medication.
