these days you can't even have 20,000 employees & put out 4 games total a year without everyone freaking out about it
Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.

that's very funny. and if the fence panels in the back are 6ft that's also about right. our problem might simply be that kyoko is running at like 3mph. back to the lab
Counting the squares, that's about exactly how long a net is. I'm more impressed however by the world's slowest serve.

Started Babushka's Glitch Dungeon last night and it's delightful. Great thread of 2025 games I'd never heard of.
There's a round of GOTY discussion going around, and I realized that a lot of my favourite games this year have been absolute Sicko Picks.

So here's a few games I've loved so far in 2025, starting with a mild one: Babushka's Glitch Dungeon. A scrunkly lil' puzzle-metroidvania with so many fun verbs

Oh hello dearie.. Babushka needs to clean up her big magical cellar. Use hag magic, or just hit stuff with your broom.

mr mamdani please, you cannot cede ground to the centre before the work has even begun- you must play ys: the oath in felghana
Mr. Mamdani I implore you to play Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana with great haste

no-one would know about ice picks any more if they weren't also really useful for murdering with, so. something to bear in mind when you're inventing maybe

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
