this is the world's most confusing day for centrist Democrats who just voted to condemn socialism and tried to sink Mamdani's campaign for months
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation

PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

This is my senator.

1000XRESIST was released a year ago today & I still think about it often; it's a special game made by a small, passionate team. And it's also on sale for the next week, so maybe this is a good time to check it out if you haven't already done so?

The final Bombcast. What a perfect way to go out. The intro is :chefs kiss:

If ever you wanted a perfect example of a corporation not understanding the audience of the brand they just ransacked, you just got it.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience — we're actively exploring creative directions for the future of GB and look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Needless to say I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot.

Jeff was a workhorse and a hero for the way he shouldered so much responsibility there, and I am furious with the way execs treated him.

We aren’t going anywhere.

I'm sorry. You and the Giant Bomb crew all deserved SO much better. GB has been a huge part of making my life better. Absolute bullshit treatment. Fandom leadership should feel ashamed. Will be following you and the crew closely ❤️

So happy for the team that made it, this is one of many rave reviews that dropped today. And so happy for us who get to experience it ❤️ As someone who grew up on RPGs, especially JRPGs, it's incredible to see.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best RPGs I've ever played. It's all I've been able to think about for weeks. A staggering accomplishment from Sandfall.

If you want a big RPG and you're thinking about buying the Oblivion remake, maybe just... maybe just wait a day. A lot can happen in a day! You never know! Maybe just hold off for like 24 hours and then decide.
