Me and @himynameiszack.bsky.social played plenty of Marathon during the server slam and wrote about it for @pcmag.com. We had our hesitations around extraction shooters heading in, but dare I say...we enjoyed ourselves?

@buzzi.bsky.social and I joined forces and wrote some thoughts on Marathon's Server Slam ahead of the full game launch tomorrow.
Explore an ever-evolving mansion and solve brain-tingling puzzles in Blue Prince, now available for Nintendo Switch 2.
BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.
Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people.
In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that “billionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

The Pokemon Gameboy jukebox is cute but idk if I could stand the OG chiptune soundtrack for more than 10 mins
Played three hours of Marathon last night, maybe only made it out alive in 2 runs. Woke up and wanted to play more.
Which is an insane reaction to have that most players probably won't share.
edited colours so it's easier to make Gum & Beat out. This will be the version used as prints. 🕶️

He joined twitter in 2009, posted all the way until it was called X, even as the platform was banned in the country. We will remember him for his love of posting. RIP to a true poster.
CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
Wow, Marathon's aesthetic looks and sounds so fucking cool. I wish it wasn't a fucking PVPVE game.
They will be ashamed of their words and deeds

Requiem wonderfully combines everything I love about Resident Evil's recent remakes and new installments, shining as a new, explosive entry. It's pretty great!
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
Once you guys actually play Resident Evil Requiem you will be ashamed of your words and deeds
I don't think you guys should be bringing up real world events when it comes to Godzilla, it's disrespectful. It's a movie about a big lizard and nothing more.
unlike most of the people who are shitting on the polygon piece, i have actually played resident evil 9 and i am a little taken aback by the idea that it’s somehow inappropriate to talk about nukes in the game set in a nuked city
as someone who actually bothered to read the review, the guy's thesis is that RE9 is about that kind of post-war trauma and that this parallel is in their opinion, part of what RE9 is driving at artistically.
you could argue it's a bit heavy handed of an opener but they do go somewhere with it
"this is about nukes and ptsd" would be heavy handed if it wasn't about a guy who did in fact get nuked that one time
A bummer that this collection is missing X-Men and X-Men 2: Clone Wars, but I guess those would have to come from some agreement with Sega.

Wow I love this collection not only because I grew up with them, but because I love the idea of archiving and preserving ALL video games, even the shitty ones.
This is a really great write up!
Full comparisons are embargoed, but I can say I played Resident Evil Requiem start to finish on Nintendo Switch 2 and had a blast. It performs great and shows NS2 can do modern blockbusters justice.
26 years ago, Resident Evil's Raccoon City was obliterated by a US bomb. Countless people were vaporized in a flash of white light. Resident Evil Requiem finally reckons with the aftermath of a "cool moment" in a mournful game full of real atomic anxiety. My review. www.polygon.com/resident-evi...
