Well anyone who’s busy making original stuff likely doesn’t have the time to run something like this. Surviving so long and being as successful as Sakurai is, is impossibly rare.

It’s been a feeling for a while but folks just now figuring out how to vocalize it. I liked Jacob Geller’s “demand more from your popcorn!”

LIV golf (the Saudis big investment into the sport) recently went bankrupt after only 5 years if that’s any indication on how things will go here…

When I first saw this I thought “hmmm doesn’t seem that big. I guess that’s large for the Mac. Wait… QB WHAT?!? Not a ‘line’ position!”

I like keeping it simple. If someone got the final button it wouldn’t feel as satisfying if part of a burst like that. Maybe just me, but the core button pressing will be rewarding enough.

The MLB always wants increased offense so maybe they should swap and pitch underhand for a similar effect

It's easy to take Super Mario 64 for granted, but back when it came out, people were still wrapping their heads around concepts like 3D cameras! Watch this clip of someone learning how to use the C Buttons at E3 1996. "Whoa."

Sadly most real economists are quiet types. But they are silently freaking out and trying to find new metrics to explain how bad things are. Also unfortunately Econ is best when backwards facing and will take a while to explain it all. Politicians likely still won’t listen either…

Impossible to track maybe, but would be interesting to see how many “players” there are per digital/physical unit. So many games/franchises that I played or borrowed from a friend back in the day and then later bought myself. Most digital games came only be played by 1 person.

Be free from the cringe and don’t worry what people on the internet think. The person who made that post is likely a child and doesn’t know how to act/talk.

ICYMI wrote about how caretakers are faring in games. Give the whole thing a read, goes into the current issues and consequences at length, but I wanted to share some of the standardized practices caretakers I talked to want to see. Dare I say, several could be helpful to non-game industries too
Workers shared what practices they’d like to see standardized across the industry, from AAA studios to smaller indie projects, to better accommodate the needs of caretakers. Multiple people brought up better parental leave policies as they lamented having to return to work after only a short time at home with their newborns. Others discussed having more healthcare options that cover a broader range of dependents. A couple workers also called for a reexamination of work structures, with an emphasis on switching from systems organized around mandated work hours to deliverable-based systems. Other ideas for standardized practices across conversations included better project planning, paid overtime, relocation packages, four-day work weeks, and unionization.One suggestion mentioned by nearly everyone spoken to that’s worth dissecting at length: remote work. Multiple caretakers talked about how the policy can make it easier to navigate around the likes of medical appointments, school travel, and sudden sick days — all while not losing additional time to commuting. Scott Christian shared that he thinks “the shift toward remote work that accelerated during the pandemic has been one of the best things to happen for working parents.” As he put it, “Good managers recognize that it matters less when the work gets done than whether it gets done well. Being able to step away to pick your kid up from daycare or school without losing hours to commuting makes a huge difference to quality of life.”

There are one million buttons. Only one button is correct. The correct button is chosen randomly, and there are no hints. Good luck!

It’s always a struggle but hopefully not both! Indie also seems to be the main place auteur directors can thrive so deff can’t be flat then. Most projects that fail lack any clear direction.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

Yeah, just saying it was more than just panic and took longer to fix. Some say we are still fixing it to this day!

Yep. Stops trading for even just 5 min and helps fix things.

Also 2008 was caused by a number of things that was made worse by certainly greedy companies. Read or watch “The Big Short” for good info on that.

BigPlay @bigplay.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
And while the algorithms are here to stay, that’s obviously not an intended feature. So if a stock moves too much in one day it can stop trading for a few mins so actual humans can catch up and correct the computer panics.
