Ever wondered if there is intelligent life out there and if so, why haven't they made contact with us yet? I mean, look at our current shitshow. Would you want to be part of any of this needs nonsense? Would ICE require them to have a passport as well?

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or luke@aftermath.site, thank you!

Go play this. Support the devs, and enjoy it. Though, I will admit that it does get a bit hard towards the end. But other than that, it's a fun ride.

MIO: Memories in Orbit Review – A Gorgeous Metroidvania Worth Getting Lost In | The Outerhaven
Mio: Memories in Orbit is a gorgeous indie Metroidvania, with an amazing world, and an eerie sci-fi mystery, that does frustrate at times.

Cassette Boy Review: Keeping It in Perspective
Blending of genres has been around a long time in video games, but it feels as though this current generation has taken that to another level. Especially with the proliferation of indie titles that mishmash a bunch of favorite games together, aspiring to be the one super game. However, the best cases of these combinations [...]

Just remember that our current administration would rather use its funds and its power to conquer another country, then to provide health care for people who need it. And I really wish that was a joke but it isn't.

I haven't turned on my Xbox Series X or PS5 in a while, since I mainly play on PC. But my god, do I really need a reminder than I don't have a Xbox Live or PlayStation Network subscription every time I start a game?

Tell me you didn't read my article, by arguing me the same points I presented in my article. I mean, going off a headline and trying to tell me I'm dumb when I said the same thing you said, just tells me that you're lazy. And possibly dumb.

I know folks want to cover games but please also consider other roles. Even just to pay the bills.
If you happen to live in NYC or the surrounding area, hit me up and I'll see what I can offer. It won't be games but still audio, computer, and photo related.

With all these companies laying off people, and the cost of living constantly rising, how the hell are people supposed to survive? AI. Automation. All of that is taking away jobs, and management doesn't give a flying fuck about the human element. Will we all be living in boxes soon?

So, you're telling me that with multiple years in IT, multiple certs, that I have to fight every year to keep a job because companies keep outsourcing these jobs overseas to save a dollar, but a POS ICE agent is making over $200k with just a high school education for abusing people. WTF.

The GOP left for 10-day break and pretty much have said, get fucked if you need healthcare.

Watching this Resident Evil showcase, just mamkes me sad that Dead Space is dead. Just sell the license to Capcom, EA, and let them do it properly.

Bloodborne fans aren’t asking for a miracle anymore… just the bare minimum. A PS5 patch. A remaster. ANYTHING.
Sony gave Demon’s Souls the royal treatment, but Bloodborne stays ignored. Why?

Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?

I don't care if you can read this. But if you don't want people calling you the Gestapo, then maybe you should stop acting like it. Stop covering up lies that people can clearly see as the truth and treat the American people, like people and not animals.

Currently in my office, writing an op-ed about one of my favorite games of all time, while listening to its soundtrack.
Can you guess what game is its? Maybe I'll give you a prize if you can.

Bring back Ridge Racer and SSX, you cowards. Sincerely, these were some of the best arcade styled games ot be released and they always did well (well, with the exception of the mobile and Ridge Racer Unbounded), and had AMAZING soundstracks.
Bring. Them. Back!

Trying to take over a country by force? Where have we seen this before? Seriously? Between this, killing healthcare, ICE, giving tax breaks to the rich, the Epstein Files, Venezuela. How has Trump not been impeached? This thing is ruining out country, all because he is asking like a child.

Renee Good will never see justice as long as ICE has complete immunity and morons in our administration such as Kristi Noem, and JD Vance claiming there was no wrongdoing. Perhaps they need to get their eyes and souls checked.
But... again. Those who voted for Trump, you're responsible for this.

I don't know what's worse. Waking up to find that a plugin broke my website, causing us to lose lots of traffic or seeing that some GOP bootlicker proposed a plan to make Greenland the 51st state.
I mean, how the hell is that even possible? This administration is the worse, there's no contest.
