One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?
Most video games should not cost $70.

Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy
One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

An obscure detail in early Pokemon games:
In the Pewter City Pokemart in Gen 1, there is an NPC complaining that he was ripped off by a Magikarp salesman. But if you visit the same building in Gen 2, you can find the same person bragging about a Gyarados he's trained.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Hi, I was in a car wreck last night and now every time I sit down it gets more painful to stand up. I think I really need to get checked out, as well as pay some bills like my car payment and therapy. There's a lot going on but I really don't want to put these things off. Please help if you can
I'm a trans woman suffering severe PTSD and have been looking for work all year to no avail with absolutely zero help from anyone in my family. Any help towards my monthly bills or even just reposts are massively appreciated.

"Why do people stay on twitter, the nazi site and don't come over to bluesky, the lesser evil, still genocide supporting site"?
palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

I saw someone saying "I love paying 9.99 to raise my s links" with regards to P5X and it's making me realize that with games, the moment you can spend money on something, some people act like there's no other option besides that

I'm noticing this burgeoning narrative that specifically picked up the moment a bunch of them got laid off, where they're placing the blame at the feet of the audience, but I watched multiple different people visibly droop the second this trailer dropped at the game awards

I'll note that "the last" is at least stretched by one website, because @ocremix.org has been around since 1999 and it just as functional now as it has ever been -- over five thousand pieces of music posted in support of the site's mission to "promote video game music as an art form."
wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

The song "sans." was directly inspired by the song "In and Out Crowd" from Sesame Street. Upon watching an animation of the song In and Out Crowd, Toby decided to make his own version of it to practice music. He also showed surprise nobody ever pointed it out in the fanbase.
