This game may end up being the biggest factor in regulation of generative AI for games if Nintendo gets involved.
Steam’s newest hit, Palworld, has been accused of plagiarising designs from Pokémon, as social media users negatively highlight its creator’s history with generative AI tools.

We're continuing to adapt our studio to the new realities of work. After remote working and the hybrid model, we're shifting to the 4-day work week! A better work-life balance for even more innovative games. Details 👇

Bethesda JUST announced last week that the update to Fallout 76 containing human NPCs and other improvements is delayed until next year. Today they announced a premium membership for the game that rivals Netflix pricing.

I get that it's a response to last year but the music playing off the acceptance speeches after like 2 seconds of giving a speech is pretty wack. It's an awards show. #TheGameAwards

The justice system favors cops and treats black lives as if we have zero value. This is not new, but it should break your heart every single time you see it play out. We need change.

Twitter's imminent shutdown is bumming me out, mainly because this is the platform I've built most of my audience on. Legit years and years of work, that inevitably got me hired, and has gotten me some of my biggest opportunities in life. All gone. Because of one rich white man.

I would totally be down for a Last of Us anthology spinoff show that are just tales from that world. There are so many different stories you can tell about what connects people (in a fungi post apocalypse) that can be so worthwhile to explore.

If you responded to this tweet asking why I'm starting this year off with "hate" and "name-calling" and telling me you're disappointed in me
Look around you, read the tweet again, and then kindly fuck off.

When I was young, Metal Gear Solid 3 changed my perception of video games and taught me to love their capability for storytelling, memorable characters, and unforgettable moments.
Today I met the man behind the franchises I love. It was a dream come true 💛

Rapid firing 5 award categories in a row with no speeches (including best independent game) is gonna turn me into the joker lol

I referenced this moment on the review but I can finally tweet the clip now that Phantom Liberty is out.
I've never felt cooler in a game than this moment in Cyberpunk 2077 going from dialogue to action (and being ready for it). This game is sick as hell.

Now that Pokemon Scarlet is finally out, I can talk about two of my new favorite Pokemon. Tandemaus (literally just two mice) and Maushold (literally just a family of mice)
I love this dumb Pokemon. I love the dumb pun. And their moveset is fantastic.

They originally acknowledged this August 11th. It is now the end of August and I've been hate raided 3 times in the last week.
We’ve seen a lot of conversation about botting, hate raids, and other forms of harassment targeting marginalized creators. You’re asking us to do better, and we know we need to do more to address these issues. That includes an open and ongoing dialogue about creator safety.

Hey queen. These GTA 6 leaks got me thinking about how you were my rockstar. Your love was my greatest vice in this city, and even though we needed more time to develop, you opened up my world. Tell your cousin I said we gotta go bowling again soon. Love.

Hey.
People like this make this industry a toxic and scary place for women, people of color, and other marginalized folks in the industry.
He has a pattern of harassing folks who are doing their job and/or trying to make space for themselves. He misleads for clout. Report him.
