Stories in Games Aren't Problems, They're Solutions
Lots of video games have terrible stories, but that's no reason to give up telling them.

Both Hades II and Clair Obscur are about the whims of gods who, in their petty squabbles, fail to treat the mortals beneath them as equals.

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

Literally Reb and I had a whole ass conversation about this a couple weeks back and both felt so so strongly that it’s a hard no. If I could use my video game ✨expertise✨ and motherhood status to impart any sort of advice on fellow parents, it’s keep your kids off Roblox
If we have a kid we are absolutely forbidding Roblox. I know I will inevitably cave on a number of other stupid things all their little friends are doing, but this is a hard line in the sand that no amount of screaming will change.
Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

Looking forward to Dispatch selling well enough to make people think there's a huge untapped genre there, forming Nu-Telltale Games around it, and then spinning their wheels as they gradually realize that no, actually, you can't consistently scale narrative games by simply throwing more budget at it

Hooray for @professorrpg.bsky.social’s IGN preview debut! (For video games)
While many aspects of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined are still a mystery, all of those special little qualities and personalities that have kept this series going for almost 40 years are still on display.

Some years ago, I lost an hour to Daylight Savings when the clocks moved forward while I was at PAX East in Boston. As an Arizonan, I never got that hour back. That changes tonight because I'm in Las Vegas for the @dimension20.bsky.social live show so I'll finally get my hour back from the universe!

My two cents is that it’s hard to cover most games when you wake up every day fighting for survival and wondering if today is the day you get laid off or your website gets shut down

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I'm not a big fan of Jack Dorsey but I have to admit that one of his better ideas was, instead of getting into posting wars with users, he would go off to a yoga castle and eat hallucinogens for two weeks
