Read the Witcher III Remastered patch notes. Thank goodness they changed the method of getting Roach to canter/gallop to pressing a button instead of holding it. Having to hold a button down effectively all the time over 100+ hours gave me a repetitive stress injury last time. Was my top complaint.

This is inhumane and unacceptable. And how were these workers thanked for enduring these conditions? Many were laid off. This is why we're organizing. A better industry is both possible and must come to pass if our artform and dignity are to survive.

GTA6 looks like GTA5 on steroids and I'm fine with that. The one that does bother me: the guy's voice seems too deep. I'll get used to it, but the voice doesn't match the way he looks at first glance.

Makes me laugh at how people are somehow thinking Xbox is heroic for enabling physical-to-digital transfer. They're still...pushing things to digital?

My Xbox Series X is gathering dust. If Microsoft wants me to use it again, turn it into a Windows PC. Give it "Desktop Mode" like what Steam Deck does with Linux. A dual boot that lets me choose Console or Windows, with the latter allowing me to install Steam and/or Windows PC games.

@chrishuelsbeck.bsky.social Casually looking at the credits for R-Type Delta: HD Boosted. Practically fell out of my chair when I saw "MUSIC ARRANGEMENT: Chris Hülsbeck". I don't see you in the credits of the original, is this all new work for this game (and how much was you)?

@matpiscatella.bsky.social Do you think we've hit the ceiling on a global gaming audience? Microsoft was basically giving games away with GamePass and that really didn't make the pie bigger, from what I can tell. Any "Addressable audience" numbers are dubious nowadays.

Jon Lindemann @mrdiamondj.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Microsoft is just throwing all cargo off the ship at this point. They don't care about anything but stopping the bleeding, so any noble thoughts about "saving a great studio" are irrelevant. That's somebody else's problem, not theirs.

@guillaumenwr.bsky.social Based on you saying, "If this was one of the movies, it'd be 2nd or 3rd best in the series", I'm going to finally make a run at Great Circle.

Surprising nobody, but I'm hyped for the Ocarina of Time remake. I love the original game, but its visuals make it a hard playrhrough for me these days. I can't wait to see it reimagined. Also, inject that Pokopia DLC into my veins.

XBOX Showcase: Hyped for Bad Magpie, Decay 3, Castlevania. Gears is Gears, but looks good. Halo is a no-brainer, but $69.99? Yeesh. Keeping an eye on Clockwork, Vivarium, Resonance, Metro, Magicians, Valor Mortis. Few must-buys but many "cool, but let's see the review scores". Curious about CoD: MW4

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.

Can Any House Truly Be Owned?

Sure, you can purchase this lovely, bespoke ranch house in a scenic neighborhood, but can one actually own anything on this wretched planet we call Earth? Or is everything, like this affordable dream home with a finished basement, eventually reclaimed by the elements as it withers to dust and is lost in the ever-shifting sands of time?
