By embracing fighting game culture, the Deadpool of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a much more likeable presence than his cross-media counterparts.

Such a wild thing to listen to something like this, feel so intensely positive about and enriched by it, knowing that you're communing with those no longer here. What a thing to leave as your legacy. Truly one of the best crust/d-beat bands to ever do it. RIP Henke, Tomas and Marcus

God, what a bittersweet thing this is. Disfear already lost a bassist in 2011, last year their vocalist died and just recently their drummer passed away—all three to cancer. The latter two, however, were able to finish one more album before they passed—the first single of which is an absolute RAGER.

Somehow the most aggressively, convincingly anti-war the series has been in a long time, and also features the line "it's a pain in the ass being a ghost"

Taking the place of an absent legend, inhabiting a big burly avatar that also somehow manages to control like supersonic butter... it really is MGSV all the way down

Oh my god it's worth it because this game controls so well, holy shit. The planes have such weight to them. Urgh, the joy of a new Ace Combat game. I love this series so, so much

To be clear I know this game is going to fuckin rock. Just another example of an AC game having Lots of Ideas and structuring them in the most mental ways possible

The Ace Combat 8 intro is WILD. You come looking for crazy aerial acrobatics, and instead you get half an hour of watching MGSV before you actually control a plane

"Don't engage" is such a hard lesson and it took me a lot of years to learn it. Im still tempted! Sometimes people say the most frustrating shit in the world and it just feels like being unacceptably passive to just let it go, but thats the trap. You're immediately judged harsher by replying at all.

For as much as I hated Mafia 3 when it released, it's genuinely cool to see parts of it reappraised in a way that puts it in line with the other games in the series. Mafia sure does love to make protracted travel meaningful! (also this article is ten years old now jesus!!!)

‘Mafia II’ Is the Game That Made Being in the Mob Brilliantly Mundane

It was sold as GTA in the 1940s, but the prosaic depiction of gangster life proved to be the finest quality of 'Mafia II.'

Ace Combat Assault Horizon is weird because on the one hand it totally makes sense that they made this game but on the other it is incomprehensibly bad

IRL I work w/disabled people who to varying extents rely on govt support to simply get to work. It has already been cut beyond the bone. They have to seriously consider that they no longer get to go outside. You can never convince me those responsible are not only morons but truly, deeply evil

Even those I know who need financial help mainly want to work! To exist! The main reason a govt should provide that help, without shame, is basic fucking humanity. It's just also that economically it's the most basic investment equation ever—spend money make money. Fucking dafties. Infuriating

Your right to exist/compassion should never be contingent on productivity ofc but in my exp so many people just wish they could fuckin Get On With It, and so many are made *suicidal* that their brains aren't wired that way. Never met anyone like "can't wait for a diagnosis so I can put my feet up"

Writing on Games @writingongames.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

All the shite with the govt/media openly questioning if ADHD is even real is really mad because it gets framed as yet one more example of people wanting to "leech off the system" or whatever. Basically everyone I know who has gone through the diagnosis process desperately, *explicitly* wants to work

Wait, YouTube is now introducing A/B testing of VIDEO EDITS?! I already fucking *hate* how the thumbnail/title stuff has you creating essentially three sets of packaging for so little reward (to the extent that I just don't do it). You think I'm gonna make three separate *videos*? Fuck off ya wanks

Thing is as well, people have been asking for years for the ability to replace a video file (if, for example, there's an error that needs corrected) without losing the original views, etc. That's only for big companies though. Instead you, you pleb, get to just make and upload three entire videos
