I wouldn't be shocked if Jaffe was revealed to be an Adi Shankar type at some point ngl

David Jaffe is being a dipshit again so this is your reminder that he literally stopped writing for GoW after GoW1 and the main writer of the series during the Greek era was Marianne Krawczyk so Jaffe barely has any real say in what "is really Kratos" just fyi

So for those playing High on Life 2 (or I guess @squanchgames.bsky.social) , what is the song that plays for the fake out Credits (For those that got the “The Good Ending.” Achievement, that’s the one.). Is that gonna be part of the Vol 2 OST or is that a preexisting song?

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

I’m also seeing calls to cancel Nitro and send in a complaint via their support form. I highly suggest doing all three. Reply below has the latter

Here's the link for their "teen council" application form that's linked on their page and in which is the only way of feedback for these changes.

I'd suggest flooding it to all hell with demanding the changes to not go through. Inconvenience them.

I’m unsure what steps can be taken to stop this sort of thing from happening. Not saying this in a doomer way — keep being loud, keep fighting, keep resisting this — but I fear companies will push age verification at the enormous detriment of its users. We all face massive privacy risks

OK, so, now's a good time to let Discord know exactly what you feel and where they can cram this change:

The biggest mod yet for Sonic Mania drops in 11 hours. Basically a whole new game with multiple campaigns and modes.

sonicmegamixmania.github.io

Requires the DLC, I believe.
SONIC MEGAMIX MANIA
Sonic Megamix Mania is a fan-made modification for Sonic Mania Plus that aims to carry the torch of the discontinued ROM hack known as “Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix”

I am proud Nintendo fans got the game with the tall vampire lady and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth. But I do think it’s about fucking time they got these games.

Fuck you Uncle Tom with NDS, I couldn’t even enjoy today’s partner showcase cause Nintendo was more focused on weaker ports of other AAA games.

Nintendo’s dark ages usually seem to happen when they try to be like everyone else instead of embracing themselves.

What I’d like to see:

HI-Fi Rush Switch Port

Crash-Spin Off (Probably either the Iron Galaxy title or CTR 2)

Sonic Racing Crossworlds content showcase and Season 2 confirmation.

Postal Brain Damaged: Switch 2 Edition + These Sunny Daze

Some indie game Switch ports + 1.0 releases.

Boo Hoo, Stellar Blade needed more than your fucking oshi to get an award.

Even if Geoff did overhype that Highguard game with the most 5/10 game vibes (for me, at least.) ever.

Cry me a fucking river, Mangalawyer.

Mewgenics didn’t even win 2025’s Most Anticipated Game cause of fucking GTA 6.

Thanks to the great response so far! We’ve decided to extend the Into The Unwell closed beta until Monday, February 9th . A lot of you are still actively playing, and we felt that keeping it live for one more weekend would be the icing on the cake!

MANIFESTO is definitely not some kind of commentary on the current state of the video game industry

There's zero chance we would use the medium of video games to comment on the fact that 1/3 of developers were laid off in the last two years

It's just a video game, okay?

This fucking company has gone downhill since at least when they banned Blitzchung. And yet grifters will bitch more about Warcraft’s skeleton crew putting in bloody wheelchairs than that time Blitzchung got banned from Heartstone for supporting the Hong Kong protests.

You know, My Nintendo News, instead of glazing Mario Kart World and shitting on Sonic Racing Crossworlds over a November thing you can maybe ask why the heck Nintendo has been more focused on forcing intermission races than adding that Bananza content update. Keep my boi’s name out of your mouth.

So more desecration of Charlie Kirk's legacy from the same people who got a Sucker Punch employee fired for making a joke about him.
and an excuse for me to bring up one of if not the most cursed inclusion to a "Kids" movie soundtrack by one of the artists, Kid Rock.
