On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

@kindafunnyvids.bsky.social after yesterday's call for it, I'm starting a spreadsheet for pizza bets. KFBFs please send any pizza bets you see on content (since I can't watch everything). Or, if someone is already doing this, please let me know 🙂

I'll say it: I would LOVE to play a game where I go after Klan members.

Still my theory that this is what happened to BioShock 4. It was delayed because of its story, and the only way I can imagine a studio executive making that move is if they think it'll get them in trouble with the administration because artists made something critical of fascism.

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I can’t believe it’s been one year since I visited Kinda Funny for a week of gaming and chaos. It will forever be one of my favorite experiences with the absolute best people and best internet community. 1/2

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor
