- About to finish Sonic Frontiers. The only trophy I'm missing aside from the "finish the game" trophies (yes, there are two of them) is the one for beating every enemy type, so... I guess the final boss counts as one of them?
- I'm always surprised by the take "Breath of the Wild is a good game, but it doesn't feel like a Zelda game" because to me it very much feels like a Zelda game, just not a good one.
- I'm going to be honest: I think a lot of you don't know what "industry plant" means
- People on here will say anything. "Tales of Arise is pro-slavery." No it isn't. That isn't true.
- Truly a dire state of affairs that Horizon is getting a spin-off with horribly ugly visuals and the reaction from gamers is "they finally put an art style in Horizon!"
- I do not think Kamala Harris is announcing a campaign for president. I think she's launching a podcast
- Well the marketing surrounding Overwatch 2 was deeply confusing and often contradictory but I think I've finally internalized the notion that Overwatch 2 is a fully different game from Overwatch. Now to take a big sip of coffee and read the news
- This Is Spinal Tap
- The challenge of making a Beatles biopic: Paul McCartney was only 28 when the band broke up. Paul Mescal is already 30.
- Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan and Joseph Quinn photographed on set of the upcoming #Beatles biopic films, directed by Sam Mendes.
- Famously apolitical musician Jelly Roll has broken his silence and announced his support for Hezbollah in the 2026 Lebanese general election
- I love how the spelling has evolved from "yoked" meaning built like an ox to "yolked" presumably meaning a guy who eats a lot of eggs
- There's something really funny about the way people recommend anime and manga to newcomers. "Yeah, you should start with the psychological thriller murder mystery and then work your way up to the action series made for teenage boys, and after that you might be ready for a comedy series"
- Thinking about a post I saw a while back complaining about how every revenge thriller says revenge is bad. Yeah, that's what the genre is about. Maybe you just don't like it.
- These are some Fighting Baseball Super Famicon names
- Just learned that one of the organizations Pras Michel used to illegally funnel funds from Malaysia to the USA via was also the organization responsible for Pajama Boy
- Glad to see The Cure win a Grammy. Don't really care about anything else that's happening
- Something I can't ignore regarding Sonic Generations and Sega's broader modern/classic dichotomy for the character is how it makes you think Classic Sonic was a much longer era than it really was.
- He's pulling the Drake defense, which means Bad Bunny is probably going to call him a pedophile at the Super Bowl
- I'm kind of surprised by the negative reaction to this. Not because he's right, but because he's more or less saying what so much of the gaming commentariat have been saying for the last few years, albeit in a less generous way.
- "Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that’s the game you want to play again," said Bruce Nesmith, who worked for Bethesda for over 17 years, adding that playing The Elder Scrolls 3 "would not stand the test of time." bit.ly/4q4GoKh
- Looking at the relatively new Grammy category for video game music. I can't tell if the problem is that video game publishers just aren't actively submitting much for consideration or if Grammy voters are just clueless about video game music, but it's kind of dire.
- The Grammy eligibility window has always baffled me. In 2026, they will possibly be awarding their highest honor to an album from 2024.
