NEW VIDEO - I love musically driven games, but Rhythm Doctor has proven to be a cut above the rest and somehow pulls off numerous things Iโve never seen in a game before while only using a single button.

Sending my thoughts to the wonderful folks at Eurogamer and Polygon. You all did fantastic work and deserve better. Corporate consolidation continues to be a scourge, not only on the games industry and within the games media space, but society at large.

Trump says he wants Washington out of education. School leaders say investigations into trans rights and race-related practices are pulling D.C. in deeper.
Also, it bears repeating over and over that so many executives seemingly want their Call of Duty or Fortnite, but those games already exist and those lanes are full. Live-service games take up so much time that gamers must be judicious with how many the play at once, or it feels like a chore.
ATP having a live service game in active development feels like financial malfeasance

And when accounts boosting Minaj posted content that researchers identified as โtoxic,โ the algorithm drove her posts even further. Companies like Cyabra determine toxicity by assessing not just the โpositiveโ or โnegativeโ words used in a post, but the apparent intent behind them, Brahmy said. Personal attacks, slurs, threats or comments that seem designed to deter a reasonable person from engaging in conversation are typically considered toxic. โWhen the conversation is limited to toxic content, a substantially stronger amplification effect emerges,โ the report found. โThese accounts predominantly amplify content produced by Nicki Minaj and Turning Point USA, indicating a notable overlap between the two within this discourse. Several of the accounts involved had previously been identified as exhibiting fake campaign-like behavior in the context of Minajโs online activity within and relating to the music industry.โ Turning Point USA didnโt respond to a request for comment.
