Although I'm still doomscrolling this dumpster fire from time to time, I'm now much more engaged with The Other App. Same name I'm using here.

Hi folks, I have to let you know we’re not going to make our prev stated release date for Morsels - we’re changing it to just 2025. Really sorry to disappoint anyone who was excited to play in Feb. We're working hard to make the game good, and apparently that just takes ages! 🐁

Growing up, Homelander dreamed of working at his local Vought A Burger. Recently, his wish came true, as Vought shut down a restaurant and staged pre-selected customers, so Homelander could “serve” “people” “food.” Thanks, Homelander, for showing everyone how you’re a true man of the people!

Ghost of Yotei takes places around the time Yasuke was in Japan. Sucker Punch has the opportunity to do the absolute funniest shit.

This happened 16 years ago in Halo 3. It's one of the rarest things to happen in gaming history. Player throws a sticky nade at an enemy, who catches it in his hand while throwing a frag nade back, making the sticky nade stick to the frag nade before getting thrown back. Halo 3's physics are the best.

Many of you are reaching out about the news around Annapurna (sorry to see what is going on to all involved ) Interactive. Thank you for your care! Remedy's deal for Control 2, including Alan Wake and Control AV rights, is with Annapurna Pictures, and we are self-publishing Control 2. (I hope I made sense; its 5am in Finland and I'm jet lagged)
