if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Any Canadian politicians putting out statements today licking Trump's ass should be treated with the contempt such traitorousness deserves.

Do you understand why the 51st State was not “a joke”?
Do you understand why annexing Greenland was not “a joke”?
The only people that thought Trump was joking were Americans with their heads up their asses, on both sides of the aisle. Your president is dangerous. What are you doing about it?!?!

I agree! So we spent 4 years on one that now has 97% positive reviews. Maybe check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/2259330/...

AGR Day 25 GOTY:
BLUE PRINCE
Unquestionably my GOTY. This game started slow for me ("why are there so little interactions?") but once I got a specific room, the whole thing blew wide open.
TL;DR: This is the new MYST. It has reached that level of greatness, uniqueness and puzzle cleverness

Gee I wonder what my AGR Day 25 GOTY will be? It's a real wonder, it can't be the game I haven't shut up about since it came out and haven't featured here yet, what a mystery it's gonna be.
See ya tomorrow, then!

HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG
After a long wait, it's finally here, it's Silksong!
And it more than makes up for the wait. This game is challenging, beautifully crafted, the controls are tight and the map is GIGANTIC.
Some design decisions boggle my mind though, I'll get into that

IT'S FUCKING CHRISTMAS
(Decent) Game studios close during Christmas time. Let them rest for Pete's sake.
The game will be fixed when they come back. Just tough it out, goddamn.
Anyways Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays

AGR Day 23:
ARC RAIDERS
The game surprised the hell out of me, not because of its stellar sound design, or the ARC's amazing AI (although they're really impressive), but because its game design is balanced in a way that encourages friendly gameplay in a PvPvE environment.
That's tough!

This is funny to me because when I made redacted documents for NITE Team 4, we used the black highlighter tool and anticipated that players would mouse over it to get details, so we just replaced the text with NICETRYNICETRY.
Our hacking game thought about security more than your government lol

So one thing that's fun about these Epstein files is how easily the "redaction" is defeated by simply dragging your mouse over the text and then using copy+paste (small 🧵)

Every Perfect Dark level has a hidden piece of cheese in it. You can't interact with them and there are no rewards for finding them all.
I found them all

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

AGR Day 22:
THE WANDERING VILLAGE
This is a multi-level city builder where you have to manage your villagers and also the giant beast you're living on top of.
You have to constantly adapt and prepare as your giant home lumbers through different biomes, affecting your crops, water supply, etc

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.
It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

THE ALTERS
What makes you, you? This nail-biting survival game has the best philosophical theme I've seen in a game since Talos Principle.
You're stranded on an alien planet and the only way to survive is to clone yourself by choosing different paths in pivotal moments of your life
