I shared this yesterday. But I want to repost @chrisbratt.bsky.social's investigation into the Rockstar union-busting allegations.
What people in the business call "proper reporting" and the kind of stuff a healthy media ecosystem must support.

The more I read about Air Riders the more convinced I am that I need to give it a shot.
Games train us to think that "higher number = better," and I'm just fascinated with the way Air Riders deconstructs that. What if digital gluttony could actually be a curse? What if restraint was a skill, and learning when to NOT pad the numbers was a winning strategy? Legitimately cool idea!

Good read from @connormakar.bsky.social here.
The 'webcam on with randos' seems like a wild choice now, but at the time it was novel.
I remember eating a pizza whilst playing when some random player asked for a slice. 😅

Feels a little bit odd(?) to walk into a branch of the UK’s biggest toy store and through a big stand for the 18 rated Call of Duty.

On the whole, having never played this before, I enjoyed Galaxy 2. It's got plenty of cool ideas, but is very much a 1.5 in the shadow of the first Galaxy game.
The controls don't feel amazing on this Switch port either.

The idea that Steam Deck would be a Nintendo killer was always silly. The idea that Steam Machine could be an Xbox killer is way more plausible. But it's entirely going to depend on whether or not Valve has any actual interest in doing that. Some snap thoughts. www.polygon.com/microsoft-xb...
Xbox is screwed
The Steam Machine could eat Xbox's lunch if Valve plays its cards right
