This is such a good quote because it often feels this is just what it comes down to. Do you like MAKING THINGS? Then you understand what's so bad about the "push to create ugly thing made from theft"-button.

There’s no need to give them the benefit of the doubt. It shows up on my 8” Claw A8 with Z2E and I’m not even running the FSE. When I click on the tile, it just opens settings. I guess we can’t play at peak performance. 😔

I’ve been playing Sackboy recently and I genuinely can’t express how happy it makes me to see the little Sackboy in a bumblebee costume. It’s SO cute and I squeal every single time.

Skate Story is the best Nextfest demo I've tried so far. you're a demonic skater trying to eat the moon and getting menaced by philosophy cops. I learned to ollie by touching a forbidden monolith. parts of it are soundtracked like a Jon Bois video. can't recommend enough.

I think it’s important and not discussed enough that the majority of the alt right gamersphere “leaders” are actually taking massive amounts of people’s money and delivering them nothing but endless rage for it.

Correction, and added insult that everyone could see coming:

- More:

Laid off King staff set to be replaced by the AI tools they helped build, say sources

Insiders paint a grim picture at King with half the Farm Heroes Saga team set to depart and morale “in the gutter”.
