A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Not every category needs to be represented each year.
Only 2XKO and City of the Wolves are new. Two others are (lovingly-made) collections of old games, and the last is the fourth iteration of a 19-year-old game.

Much love to Kirsty Rider for her performance as Lune. I can understand not wanting four of your six Best Performance nominations coming from the same game, but I can't understand how she wasn't one of the three.

This feels like the most-predictable Game of the Year lineup yet:
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Hades 2
- Split Fiction
- Death Stranding 2
- Donkey Kong: Bananza
These aren't all my picks, necessarily, but it seems difficult to argue otherwise, given this show's history.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.
