"Why are younger players gravitating toward retro titles - and how should studios respond to this trend?"

Heroes III is the top-selling retro game on GOG... and almost half of buyers are under the age of 25.

GOG's theory: for younger generations that grew up with Minecraft and Roblox, graphical/technical fidelity *does not matter*, which is a huge market shift #GDC2026

BEEN SAYIN' THIS FOR LIKE 10 YEARS, saw these kids doing this shit when they were 15, and now they have credit cards

family guy did a windows joke and they used the aero design w/ xp sounds

sometimes i wonder if i get passed over for jobs because i'm trans and i think "nah i live in a blue state and the employment gap isn't as bad for trans guys as it is for trans women" but this in fact happened to a transmasc person in a blue state

hauuuuu.. more jp artists on bluesky pls...

*buys something for twice the price (and growing) instead*

i sentence any deadlock player who genuinely thinks FF should be added to play league, smite and predecessor i am not fucking kidding. it is actually so infuriating playing a game when people will throw a fit because things aren't going perfect immediately. it's not fun. nobody develops their skill

terra(@terrafically): "these are all my consoles, rg34xxsp, modded vita, and a switch allows to me to play pretty much anything i want, lol! but not jet set radio future..."

i really do hope the whole "play XBOX ON PC" thing is actually going to Work and be True without limitation because

Yeah.

whhuh??

i enjoy a healthy balance of both

skeleton on fire and presumably screaming

small anime girl yawning and holding plushie

how i sound vs how i feel

one of the funniest things me being a vocalist is just that sometimes when i yawn i accidentally scream. and it doesn't hurt or anything, because i've trained to be able to do so without strain. but it must be wild to the people i live with to randomly hear the souls of the damned leaving my body

Hell yeah, it takes an incredibly brave person to stand up to their bosses like that.

In 3 days it’ll have been 1 year since we originally wrote the lyrics to this

CAN I OR CAN I NOT PLAY NINJA GAIDEN II, ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2008 FOR THE XBOX 360, ON MY PERSONAL COMPUTER. THE ABILITY TO PLAY NINJA GAIDEN II ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2008 FOR THE XBOX 360 ON MY PERSONAL COMPUTER IS THE ONLY THING THAT MICROSOFT CAN OFFER ME THIS POINT

IF YOU BRING UP SIGMA 2 OR 2 BLACK I'M THROWING YOU INTO THE OPTIONAL DUNGEON. YOU HAVEN'T PREPARED FOR THE SUPERBOSS.

IF YOU MAKE A JOKE ABOUT THE DARK SWORD OF CHAOS I'M DOING THE SAME BUT ALSO TAKING AWAY YOUR EQUIPMENT AND ITEMS. HAVE FUN WITHOUT THOSE ELIXIRS

Absolutely none of the big commentators or news channels ever talk about this shit.

It's like they want lying grifters to be the only ones in the conversation.

satire, rule with palette swap is if the logo in the bottom right is blue it's true, if it's yellow it's a joke

i love every reply saying exactly the one change they need to make to suddenly meet sales targets like i would my own child

This is what real lesbian representation looks like

I feel like we have all been there

Because there's a concerning amount of replies/QRTs misinterpreting the announcement; they just mean 1080p30 is the baseline for a game to be labeled as Verified on the game's store page.

It's moreso for leniency with heavier games rather than any indication of machine power/lack thereof.

wait hold on. so alongside the usual suspects and the baffling digitigrade legs. they banned piss?

??????????????????

Pixar boss Pete Doctor defends his recent statements:
"Gay Asians are getting too bold. CalArts is pumping out a bunch of gay Asian animators who want to make films about mom trauma, and we need to silence them. Pixar will only make films for white hetero Christians from now on"

look at how much babble's shape and vibe has been realized since 2024 im goin a bit cazy

A screenshot of Nedry, an Aether OS app for browsing atproto records in a 3D viewer inspired by SGI computers old 3d filesystem navigator. It's styled to match the UI from the hacking scene in Jurassic Park.

It's a UNIX system?!
Nope, just the FSN inspired atproto record browser in @aetheros.computer.

Calling this app, Nedry. 🦖🧬

He makes a good point, but also I just keep thinking "I'm in the pornography rectangle. Find my posts on the pornography rectangle".

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

i don't care where you stance is on kink and whatever but we can all agree it's extremely ironic how the same companies that were all buddy buddy with epstein are also the ones telling us that xyz type of nsfw art should be forbidden

i will say i don't think it's so much ignoring but also that not many people make it known that these individuals are engaging in harmful behaviors and shit yk. plus these things get lost easily with bsky's chronological timeline, you miss a few days and you're out of the loop
