People should do sports more
Going to the gym with your headphones as your primary form of fitness is better than nothing, but sports also provide community + the experience of learning a new set of skills.
In a society dying for more ways to build community, I think sports are too often overlooked

So people on SNAP shouldn't be allowed to eat lobster, but also they shouldn't be allowed to eat flavorless gruel.

Folks trying to argue that Halo isn't some sort of xenophobic Christian allegory are wasting their time. I don't know enough of the lore to determine whether it is or isn't, but let's be honest with ourselves. It's a violent pro-military game. That it's being coopted by the right isn't surprising.

Over the last month, I have become obsessed with Metroidvanias. Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and now Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Next: Metroid Zero Mission, and maybe a Super Metroid rom hack

If you’re a man and you want to receive random platonic compliments from women in public, paint your nails. If you want to receive random platonic compliments from men in public, wear a Street Fighter III Third Strike T-shirt.

There's lots of reasons to cancel Game Pass (BDS chiefly among them). But if you need another reason, they seem fine with their IP being used to recruit for ICE while seeming to compare immigrants to a sub-human hivemind plague
I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Every post about AI games is like "this is gonna be the future of game development" and then shows a gameplay video with really high production value but also problems that the technology will never evolve past, like a fundamental misunderstanding of the reality its trying to simulate.

Happy anniversary to the fan-made English translation of Mother 3 (GBA)! 🎂🎉
Huge thanks to Tomato, Jeffman, and Chewy for making it possible. Even today, Mother 3 has never been officially released outside Japan. Thanks to their work, we’ve been able to play it in English!

Sam Altman said someday the AI will be good enough they can just ask it how to make a profit, and clearly he asked it a bit too early and it told him the answer is porn.

I had never played a Metroid game until playing Super Metroid this year, and now I don't like other video games.

Losers and conservatives have been allowed to complain about "Healthy at Every Size" for too long, even though the framework is actually called "Health at Every Size" and is about fair access to health care, not a declaration of healthiness.

This is why I have not been able to enjoy Pokemon games as an adult.
Something is wrong with my brain where, if I know there is a way to optimize what I'm doing, I will feel bad if I'm not doing it. Which keeps me from the joy of collecting little guys.

I think adults have ruined Pokemon.

A lot of us work pretty hard to convince our leftist friends that it is worth showing up and voting for democrats as a harm reduction strategy, and it gets harder to make those arguments when prominent democrat leaders refuse to endorse the party’s nominee for mayor of the nation’s biggest city.

The only game I have ever played that does a good job of simulating political struggle/organizing is The Quiet Year. If we are to get out of this moment, it will be done by actions that feel somewhat like playing the Quiet Year: buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year

I mean this in the most complimentary way possible to Silksong, which appear to be an incredible game. But I have never been more sure of my decision not to purchase a game
