First episode of the Suikoden anime was great! Curious about how we've got one new original character to work with, wonder what might get changed up with her involved.

The picture of wide-eyed Elizabeth Holmes from the upcoming movie You Can See Everything, recreated with Vivec. It's drawn in watercolor and captioned "why would I deceive you?"

Got to Leda's path for my final Fortune's Weave route and wow am I happy saving this one for last because this party is *ridiculous* power level wise. Sirocco and Mu are absolute monsters.

I've been playing some Star Wars Galactic Racer (thanks Secret Mode for the code!) and it is 100% my kinda racing game. Fast, frantic, cool explosions, and the sound design/sound track captures the Star Wars vibes just right.

This sucks for many reasons. But I think it's worth emphasizing how selfish and duplicitous it is to go work with a public-facing, community-focused media org like MinnMax without disclosing this part of your past to them. (MinnMax confirmed to me they were not told.) Please support them if you can

I know this is being done with good intentions so I say it with all love: Dudes, when women are expressing fear and disappointment over a predator who was by all outward appearances safe and kind, that’s not the time to, how should I put this, humble-boast about how *you’re* one of the safe ones. ⬇️

Saw this going around so sure, why not. Top 9 anime that shaped me, no particular order. Struggled on a couple picks but if I'm thinking "shaped", this is a pretty good rep.

Dream DLC for Fortunes weave is we get playable routes for the other four lords. Don’t have to be as complete, just abridged story modes with a map gauntlet and more stuff from their perspectives. I need a Bertrand route.

Kevin Kenson @kevinkenson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Finished Cai's route last night and the scale of Fortune's Weave is pretty damn wild for a Fire Emblem game. Enjoying it immensely so far, curious how well the momentum is gonna carry across 3 more part 1s.

IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We are tired of posting statements like these.

Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.

With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN’s operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?

While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.

We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues.

Valve's Steam Frame Is a Great All-in-One Wireless PCVR Headset, but Is It Worth the Cost?

The Steam Machine is probably one of the first VR headsets that can do everything right out of the box, from standalone gaming to streaming 2D games from your PC. But the high price, short battery lif...

Retro gaming folks! Help needed! So, unfortunately my PVM is toast and in need of some expert repair. I took it to someone local to help with vertical linearity and warmup issues, but after a recap of the power supply, main, and other boards, it's stuck in protection mode.

My beloved PVM. Too pure for this world. RIP.

Encounter screen from Thousand Hells: The Underworldd Heists.

Where Exactly?

Up On Himor
Talk to Plague Victims
Talk to a Gossip

Dialogue in Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists.

The part is at camp, discussing the murdered princes by the hand of their uncle.

"He's not going to be very happy when they show up again."

"I believe the queen is thinking as a mother, not a power player."

Three-headed spirit of a white haired woman expressing anger, fear and pain.

A slight blue cave surrounded by mushrooms. A grey hairy beast with wing stands at the front.

Been playing Onimusha the past couple days and having an absolute blast. Decided to challenge myself by not using any healing items and the absolute rush you get from dialing in their moveset is incredible. Could do with less map bloat but the action more than makes up for it
