Nintendo sent me a box of Pokopia stuff this week. Cute!

People are surprised about this? Modern Call of Duty has always been a tool of the military industrial complex. It's known that the US military has vetoed entire plots proposed for past games and that they have had a lot of influence on how those campaigns were done.

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

I am working on something that will be so fucking cool for the oldschool SEGA and especially ToeJam & Earl fans. Unearthing some interesting things.

I don't know how anyone can read this article and think that this technology should be allowed to exist.

My wife is from the town the final level of the demo is based on so it was very fun guy us. Level starts in the neighbouring big city and evokes the vibe of the local tram system, goes to the amusement park that overlooks the town, before steamroling her town on the way to Sakurajima volcano.

That's really cool, Chris!

It has been discussed endlessly, but at what point do governments actually talk about the power of the Google monopoly, and do something to protect industries and jobs?

Koei Tecmo is investing in conversational AI for characters/dialog with the intent to use it in their games. Disappointing.

I have now played Denshattack and it’s even more fun than I expected. Holy crap.

We really do need Indie World writers to stop talking about indie games like we're babies

I had forgotten how hilarious this is. In case you ever make the mistake of thinking that the opinions of NeoGAF or ResetERA are worth a damn, just remember this:

Not surprised by this because there is almost nowhere in the UK now to buy brand new physical games in person and people don't want game key cards. Also, the primary audience for this is on other consoles. The modern RE games coming to Nintendo platforms is a very recent thing.

I saw Hoppers and really enjoyed it. One of the better Pixar films. It has a lot of heart and it’s surprisingly very funny. Also, 🦫🦫🦫🦫πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅

Rob speaks very well here on some of the harsher reality of the games industry and why people are getting burned out and quitting. Please check out his great work and check out Berserk Boy as well! That game rules.
