The three top scores on the NBA Jam machine at my favourite pub are attributed to “POO”, “BUM” and “WEE”. Life is full of beauty if you know where to look

GungHo Online Entertainment announced on August 14 that the company has dismissed a former executive employee for embezzlement on July 24. The company is consulting with a criminal investigative authority to determine if a criminal complaint can be filed against the former GungHo Online Entertainment executive. According to the statement (2) released by GungHo, the former executive had misappropriated close to 246 million yen ($1.67 million) of company funds by issuing fictitious business orders to themselves via a work-matching service operated by a third-party company for several years.

How does the Switch 2 fit into the landscape in 2025?

Pixels for Breakfast @pxls.jp · Jan 21

The Switch 2 was announced, and @hellerphant.pxls.jp pondered how it fits into his life now that devices like the Steam Deck are here. That spawned a new Convo piece from him and @blu.pxls.jp that talks about the new Nintendo handheld, and it's place in the landscape.

Blue and Steve talk about how Nintendo's new handheld faces new pressure some eight years later

A new written series of conversations between @blu.pxls.jp and @hellerphant.pxls.jp begin today!

We talk about finding hidden gems, chasing the dopamine rush of new game purchases, and try to examine why we hoard games, or when we choose to go deep.

Steve and Blue share a little back-and-forth about the backlog problem, chasing the high of new games, and how to find hidden gems.

S4U is 100% our jam. My Summer Car looks unhinged for people who are chasing those vibes. The Last Flame looks so much like a @blu.pxls.jp game. Some good ones this week.
