In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

If you’re not sure about trying Ace Combat 8, listen to this and then put the game in your shopping cart once you finish running through a wall.

Rounding out my Summer Reading posts on Quinns Quest with an absolutely electric final brace of releases. I've been reading Infinite Revolution, City of Espers, Asher's Ridge and Girlframe. They are all SO GOOD. www.patreon.com/qquest/posts...

This is a ridiculous deal. Troika supplements are lots of fun to read. They're reliably unhinged.

It's been so weird seeing the discourse around Dawnwalker that players don't have time to do everything. That's so baked into every ttrpg I run that I don't even think about it

Adolescence is amazing because it really makes it a game about *change*. Tons of games have casts of characters that you fall in love with. Exocolonist makes you fall in and out of love, then back in again

Last year I was chatting about how much I like Dispel dice. People I trust told me if I contacted Dispel they'd totally send me, Quinns, some nice dice I emailed Dispel. They never responded. Now every time they appear on my timeline I feel like a slime. The moral of this story is never send emails

NEW VIDEO: What's behind the rise of teens spying for Russia? Last year, Ukraine warned teens against becoming unwitting spies for Russia's FSB. Shockingly, some say they were recruited via a fake “quest” game, which one official said was “like a game of Pokémon Go, but with air defence systems.”

AI companies are destroying our collective shared history to put it into their slop buckets, because the slop they push out would destroy their models if they tried to re-input it
Text reads: This bookseller said his inventory is full of rare, foreign language, and low circulation books, meaning that if they are destroyed in the process of becoming training data, they'll be even harder to obtain.
