The good news doesn't stop. Maybe consider playing a game about someone telling you to get back in your box and you saying "hell the fuck no."
I will infiltrate gen Z/alpha and get them on board with new slang for good and bad. I'm thinking of going with wet and dry, in that order.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

the breadth of what we get now ui/presentation-wise is so rad and interesting in a way that we did not get back then because publishing a game was like 100000x harder. we're feastin' better than ever (imo!) but the stuff at the top is without a doubt full of capitalist slop rot

Charlie Cox says nominations for his 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' role should go to Gustave’s motion capture artist
"There's an amazing french actor named Maxence Cazorla who did almost all of the motion capture for that role ... so any nomination or any credit I get, I really have to give to him"

You know what it's on me for underestimating just how pathetic this would actually be.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Ah. Oh no. I have remembered where I hit a wall before, as I have reached that wall.
Phazon Mines.
Phazon Mines.
Despite this, one thing I HAVEN'T ever actually done is finish it. I think the furthest I ever got was making headway into Phendrana Drifts and then running into a difficulty wall with the Space Pirates in Tallon Overworld. Looking forward to getting back there and seeing what's past it.

Sorry I know I'm a few days out from the Game Awards nominations discourse but Charlie Cox getting nominated for his Expedition 33 performance is one of those things that makes me feel legit embarrassed about how immature this industry still is about Hollywood talent.

I have had a mostly offline couple of days, away from social media and being present with a loved one, and this is a reminder why you shouldn't do that because in that time the Roblox CEO totally combusted and Zohran got Trump to bark like a dog what the fuck

I've loved working with @tv-neato.bsky.social on this, he's got such good design instincts every time
everyone on a game is a storyteller and the storytellers on Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator fuckin’ despise the incentives of late stage capitalism
also that kid beto is pretty cool

Literally an all time great gaming memory. Prime is already so full of novel, memorable "oh it can do THIS?" moments by that point and even despite that it's just placed so perfectly for tonal contrast that it manages to hit and feel surprising in a completely new way.
