Watching @giantbomb @ Nite is still the highlight of Summer Game Fest. Always a perfect mix of ridiculous and insightful discussions from everyone involved

Owned this forever, finally played this year and it’s an incredible little puzzle platformer that oozes creativity. Highly recommend
More wondering why there’s multiple bubbles for countries that share the same time zone but Africa still doesn’t exist
Wondering what time Forza Horizon 6 launches in your region? We got you. Check out our handy launch map right here! #JapanAwaits
Been playing Forza Horizon 6 and it features the best world in the series yet. Racing is as good as ever, but it’s the little side activities that teach you more about the region and dive deep into Japanese car culture and history that elevates it over past entries. It’s great
The Game Pass price cut is a necessary correction but it also smartly disguises the fact that the annual subscription is still 15% more than it was six months ago. Even if you don’t care for Call of Duty, that’s a hefty increase being framed as a win for consumers
The actual scream I let out finally killing Groal in Bilewater. What an infuriating part of an otherwise exceptional game

This is an early preview of Sandcastle, a new game I am working on. It's a relaxing sandbox (literally) where all you have to do is build the nicest sand castle! 🏖️

I'll post more dev logs here and on my discord

What a pleasant surprise to see this launch out of nowhere. Remember the Kickstarter from over a decade ago and was so sad when it didn’t get funded. But this looks fantastic and I can’t wait to give it a go, awesome work @thefuntastic 🥳
@Discovery_SA I find it ridiculous that on a Classic Saver plan, with a premium of just shy of R5000, that the maximum your scheme covers for a natural birth is just over that monthly premium, while c-section procedures of the same claim amount are almost fully covered
Fuuuuuck yes one of the best tracks for F1

Thoroughly deserved, incredibly special game

Having taken my time with it and finally reaching credits, I think Death Stranding 2 fully deserves whatever GOTY nods it gets. There’s just nothing like it, especially so when you experience this last couple of hours. Surprised by how much it resonated with me
Well shit

No pricing or release date yet on hardware (suggested Q1 2026 as possible launch window)
By better what this really means is that I’m going to cancel because $30 a month makes no value sense anymore
