This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

Well worth reading re: Arc Raiders, AI voices and the notion of "ethical" use of generative AI.
I saw some chat about Arc Raiders' use of AI voice actors recently - I'm probably not going to rerecord the talk I gave at EXAG but I thought I'd drop in a few slides about the idea that you can make generative AI ethical by getting people to sign a piece of paper to say you can use their data.

If you would like to play a normal mode in Battlefield 6, the order of operations is:
1) Scroll past ads for skins you don't want
2) Scroll past an event that includes 1 map
3) Scroll past a free trial that means nothing if you already own Battlefield 6
4) Congrats, you've reached "Multiplayer"

I was on the latest episode of Button Mash to talk about all the surprise Steam hits of 2025, and how you just can't predict the year in gaming without leaving a few blank spots for the surprise REPOs and Schedule 1s of the world.
I also highly recommend this, though I'm a bit biased: open.spotify.com/episode/4mVS...

Highly recommend the latest Button Mash podcast on Steam's viral hits of 2025 with Ben Lindbergh, Simon Carless and Morgan Park digging into the whats and hows and whys of some of the year's biggest hits, if you're into that kind of thing.

If I have ever written anything good, it's because @tjcwilde.bsky.social, @elahti.bsky.social, and @wes.readonlymemo.com hammered it into me with years of excellent edits.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Spent one of my news tokens to gush about Sektori for PC Gamer this weekend. A must play if you're fan of Geometry Wars/pre-Returnal Housemarque/Tetris Effect www.pcgamer.com/games/action...
This roguelike take on Geometry Wars is the best game I've played this month, and the latest to become a permanent fixture on my Steam Deck
Sektori is a blistering kaleidoscopic nightmare.

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?
Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

Deciding to get healthier in 2025 came with no shortage of sacrifices I was prepared to make, but I did not anticipate one of them would be Call of Duty double XP. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/i-...
I switched to zero sugar energy drinks in 2025 and now tracking down Call of Duty double XP is more annoying and less tasty
Double XP ain't so easy to find when you're making healthier life choices.

Overwatch 2's first melee damage hero was 'pushed forward' in the release schedule despite fans expecting a new tank: 'It's more about servicing that playstyle that we really didn't have in the roster...
