iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

That makes sense because you aren't a dictator or war criminal and do not live in Iran or North Korea, where similar practices take place. You don't want to watch because you're a civilized human with morals and values.

There's no way offering evidence would stop, because that has nothing to do with the harassment...People people can't even spell SOW.

Yes, it was very sweet and touching. Gonna miss IGN podcasts. Guess all we have left is Scoop!

Aw man. Brian's a softie, too. This is gonna make me sad, isn't it? Appreciate you taking time to recognize the changes.

I had an idea for a game once, so I think I'm probably up for a BAFTA this year.

I wonder if that person asked their bot what those 'skills' would be good for in the workforce. "Hi bot, I can tell you things to draw for me. Can I make a job out of this?"

I plan on getting Game pass next month after my birthday. If anyone is up to playing Far Cry 4 (or 5) or Ghost Recon Breakpoint (or Wildlands) I'd be up for it (not currently playing the games in parentheses so I'd have to redownload them). On Xbox

Nah, they'll be fine. When did an acquisition by ABK ever go poorly, let alone one facilitated by Microsoft?

I'm sure you've said so dozens of times, so I apologize for the redundancy, but how does Circana get active/online player count metrics? Is it reported directly from the platform, via surveys, or do you have some sort of proprietary tracker (ie the old Nielsen boxes), or something else?

I'm trying here. Trying to be mature and all that, but I just really can't stand seeing IGN anywhere, and I've been a daily visitor since it was Casa's N64 . com on my 90MHz Pentium. Seth, Brian, and Max? Just like, killed half of the personality of the site. Posts are probably AI nowadays anyways.

You too?!? It's like they only fired the people who wrote stuff I clicked on. Hang in there, better days are around the corner.

Crackin' me up, @errorjustin.bsky.social, you weren't kidding when you said "I can't believe Sam and I had the same realization at the exact same time....exact same frame!" You really did, haha, nailed it. Good work, fellas!

Also, I said I knew this in 8th grade. I'm 42 now. These things were common knowledge back then Tom Green had The Bum Bum Song on the top of the TRL charts.

When I was in 8th grade I knew it was a total flex to not only be able to go shopping with your SO, but to know their sizes and styles enough to actually contribute an opinion, and that most women appreciated the effort. Is someone really pulling a "he's beta cause he acts like a decent guy" card?

Never gonna work, I can tell there's something happening between your ears. Need far fewer teeth, some drool, maybe some meth scabs, and a t-shirt with iron-on skulls that say "FREEDOM AIN'T FREE, THANKS OBUMMER"

That's wild, thanks for clarifying. Crazy that I never knew that lol, I probably would have bought more storage years ago.

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Wow. So the expansion slot is exclusively for expansion. I never knew that! I always thought you were swapping one out for the other. Cool, thanks!

010

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

You sure about that? That would mean there are either two M.2 slots or there's soldiered-in nvme with an empty expansion slot - is that the case? If so, I'd be shocked I missed that for 6 years, but willing to be proven wrong lol

I don't understand why this exists. Why start the upgrades at the stock amount?

Dude is a GOAT. I've never played Splatoon until Raiders and in my 40 years of gaming, I've never played a game so much the first week of release. Just cleared 40 hours..a full-time work week lol (don't tell my boss)

And also - the only people who bought the $449 console were people who couldn't get the $500 bundle on launch day. The $500 model overwhelmingly outsells the non-bundle option.

020

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

The $500 console is dead while the fastest selling $500 console is...the fastest selling $500 console and just finished its first year.

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

This controller is shockingly great, way better than it has any right to be, especially at that price.

I haven't been subbed for 10 years, that's crazy, your numbers are wrong. See I know this because my daughter was just coming out of her toddler phase when I first starting watching NoClip...and...now...she's...13.... whoa. Congrats!

Darksiders is very fun. Glad I'm playing through with a couple others over in the Nindie Nation Discord's Backlog Club.

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

Thankfully, there was no YouTube in high school, but also thankfully, I have hours of footage of my friends and I rollerblading on a treadmill and beating the shit out of each other in sesame street costumes. Who says TV is impressionable?!?

I'm not defending Crunch, but I'll also say I've never made anything great without burning some midnight oil before a deadline. It makes me wonder if a big factor with Xbox is a complete lack of deadlines.

000

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I really want to know though, I suspect Microsoft's rollout of games was so bad over the last few years, I suspect that Phil instilled a "no crunch" mandate when they made all those acquisitions. I think he tried to be a good guy, but didn't provide the structure the studios needed.

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I mean it makes sense, Microsoft has like zero money and desperately wants to save the Xbox brand.

020

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Yeah, like the Switch 2, it looks great, but under a microscope (or any hair/foilage), it kinda breaks down. Good news is that will only get better over time, at least.

I played tonight and on my second run now. Star Fox 64 is the game I've played more than any other since it released on my 13th birthday - You nailed it. You absolutely nailed it with this game and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks for such an awesome job!

Star Fox is so great. Everything I could have asked for.

I share a similar sentiment in that I don't think many, if any people are buying a Steam Machine to play a PS5 Pro or PS5 Exclusive title. I need to watch some of the reviews, but in general, I don't care about comparisons like that, I want to know that the stuff I play will run fine, which it will

Jeff from Nindie Nation @nindienation.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Interesting. I stand corrected. I wonder how they'd perform if both platforms turned off their AI tools and just focused on the raw power. I would think those numbers will increase over time (as I've seen with my MiniPC), but hard to say whose will faster.
