Started off the year in the post game of fantasy life. It’s secretly a s RuneScape-like hidden behind a cutesy anime art style and it’s very much my shit.

can I suggest 2Woke2Furious
minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

That’s what happened when you condition your customers to only view the industry through the lens of “console wars”
It’s annoying to post a list of fun games for a system and have someone comment there’s no “system sellers” in the list. So what? System sellers are great but there is fun to be had in games that may score in the average range, or sometimes even worse, as well.

to be fair it makes perfect sense for tabibi to not want to ask too many questions about whether russian assets are involved in sex trafficking
Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been named the 2025 NFL Rookie of the Year.

“The US is terrible but their close allies who’ve enabled their behavior for the last Century are cool actually” do yall hear yourselves
February 5, 2026 at 4:20 PM
Why are they just now doing this though? Other countries don’t get to call the US terrible while doing the same exact shit
And a bit more good news…fingers crossed!

If your WR1 doesn’t think this way he’s not the one
At media day, someone asked JSN what his job would be if he wasn’t in the NFL and he said “President of the United States”

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

Idc that I haven’t seen good football from him in years. I still believe
One note before the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday: Jets QB Justin Fields was asked to participate, I’m told. He declined, focusing on his offseason training.

Me if I only played like 3 games a year:
Yes because modern games have tons of references they can study to make a truly bright game. Instead they’re bogged by big dev budgets, high expected returns, and HALF the originality the old games had with ZERO references
People to old games - "This game was amazing which is why it was popular and you are just a hater if you don't think it is the best game ever that changed the entire industry!!"

People to modern games - "Such a stupid game. It does nothing new. Why do so many people like it? Just all bad games."

Me if I didn’t know what arcades were:
You could at least expect that the main gameplay function of an older game wasn't "insert your credit card"

I’ve come to the concussion that Keon Coleman spirit is to pure for football
January 29, 2026 at 9:54 PM
Keon gotta come from a loving and secure family cause a lot young guys woulda publicly crashed out by now 💀
Joe Brady says that he "stood on the table" for Keon Coleman. Says Coleman is not done being a Buffalo Bill.

Brady says he talked to Keon and told him the best thing that could happen for Keon was Brady being named head coach, since he fully supports him

Nobody can read and we are all suffering for it. I went back and forth with someone who couldn’t grasp how a game could be a 10/10 even though the reviewer thought it had a few flaws. I screenshotted a the page where they explain that 10/10 doesn’t mean flawless. But He genuinely couldn’t understand
Criticism is not a threat to your enjoyment! A work can succeed emotionally and still be worth interrogating. A work can make you happy and still have structural or thematic problems.

"Let people enjoy things?" Skill issue! Why is your enjoyment affected at all by what I have to say?

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Jalon Walker could take a huge leap in year 2. This was his first season at edge full time
Interesting question for edge prospects (h/t Ben Fennell) - would you rather:

1⃣B+ Pass Rusher, B+ Run Defender
2⃣A+ Pass Rusher, C- Run Defender

Not a direct comp, but here's how edge defenders graded out via PFF in 2025.

Would you want someone like Sweat/Karlaftis or Hunter/Verse?
