Never been a huge fan of the arcadey Playdate games but this rules. No wonder it’s considered a must-buy for the system

Quick break from Playdate takes — been playing a lot of @wadjeteyegames.com new game, #Nighthawks, and loving it. I wasn’t sure at first, but there’s an act 1 twist that threw me for a total loop and now I can’t get enough

Critical thoughts on #Playdate season 3: So far, the games here are more ambitious than a lot of S1/S2. Gloom Gate alone blows anything I remember out of the water in scale and ambition. But it isn’t lost on me that the cost of entry to this season is unchanged, while the number of games is.

More thoughts on #GloomGate from #Playdate season 3: having learned how the 3D effect is achieved has me only more impressed. But with a few hours of play, this is also just an excellently designed game and some of the most fun I’ve had on my Playdate since getting it

If you didn’t know: Tom Cruise does his own stunts. For example, in Digger (2026), he undermines my thesis that Primetime is the media literacy test of the decade during a runtime of 129 minutes

Gloom Gate is stunningly technically impressive for the little crank console — and I love the Infinity Blade inspiration! #playdate

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that this game is a union project with all its AI protections~ The team is strongly against generative AI in all its forms, and the effort and care to make it happen makes this game a head-and-shoulders-above-the-rest kind of game.

#Apple #WWDC review: 7/10…? Perfectly happy with every OS’s upgrade being incremental improvements. My #macOS install in particular needs them. I was made uncomfortable by the parental controls segment. #AppleIntelligence felt like a retread of 2024, but with an actual product behind it

we can happily confirm that it was a requirement for all season three devs that no ai can be used in season three games. this includes art, music, writing, and, yes, code.

Using the $999 base model MacBook Air as my primary computer now and it feels illegal -- a 10 core CPU, 16gb of RAM and Apple's build quality at this price point blows most Windows laptops out of the water. The only downside is the 256gb base storage

#TheGameAwards They took nominees down from the site, but GOTY: - Silksong - Kingdom Come Deliverance II - Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Donkey Kong Bananza - Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 - Hades II Personally, I think it’s between Clair Obscure and Silksong.

prediction markets like polymarket and kalshi are the sports betting craze taken to its furthest logical endpoint. users can gamble on anything: netflix/WB, the US bombing venezuelan ships, and of course, the game awards, which have seen nearly $40 million in activity. it’s as grim as it sounds
While obvious offshoots of the sports gambling craze that has swept the nation in recent years – promising impoverished citizens a last-ditch means of getting out of debt while actually just miring them in more – Polymarket and Kalshi have recognized that their fortunes are tied to news. The two have approached this in different ways. Kalshi recently struck deals with both CNN and CNBC to integrate its prediction data across the networks’ programming. In a press release, Kalshi cited the fact that it "recently called the NYC Mayoral election eight minutes after polls closed, hours before the media" as evidence that this is good for news and society, actually, and not yet another rotten seed that will eventually sprout an ill-gotten money tree. Also, the system is easily gamed, as Slate recently pointed out:
If a Republican political firm wanted to buy $50,000 in contracts on the GOP to win the House, that purchase alone could move the price — and thus the implied odds — significantly. If a Republican political consultant wanted to buy $100,000 worth of contracts on the GOP to hold the House, they could materially move the price and thus the implied odds. With CNN providing free media coverage of the party’s improving chances, wouldn’t that be a compelling alternative to simply buying some commercial time? Are you starting to see the problem with a major news channel using an opaque tool of financial speculation to sum up conventional wisdom about an election?  
Polymarket, on the other hand, has favored a more digital-first approach, striking a deal with Twitter to become the platform’s official prediction partner and going all-in on news aggregation with both its official account (which has over 800,000 followers) and offshoots, including NewsWire US, a separate aggregator it recently purchased. Both Polymarket and Kalshi have also partnered with various influencers, some laughably disreputable.
