Precious Roy Civil War Corpses®!

Hogwash it was clearly the fault of name of most recent developer to resign and take a job at another company!

"Our goal is that by 2030, we'll be putting more water back into the watersheds and communities where we're operating data centres, than we're taking out," says Will Hewes, global water stewardship lead at Amazon Web Services (AWS), which runs more data centres than any other company globally.

How can this possibly make sense? Mine owner says, "by 2030 we'll be putting more gold into the ground than we're taking out!" I can only assume this is some carbon credits style of nonsense.

You're right! They should bring back Wings!

The helmet bit was great. Lando said he forgot his helmet and Nico was asking why he needed it. He didn't forget, he didn't know in the first place. Well he knows how the cooldown room works now! Well done Nico!

Nobody is forcing studios or publishers at gunpoint to release on a subscription service.

Except for the hilarious number of studios owned by Microsoft. One would hope Microsoft takes the effect of Game Pass into account when they're reviewing sales figures and shutting down studios. One would hope...

This is why we have constitutional amendments. It's been extended a good bit over the last centuries. The tools are there but nobody wants to, or can agree on how to, use them.

Yeah I don't understand this. The post ends with

Full compatibility details coming soon.

What does "compatibility" mean? I have a bunch of their controllers, of different models, paired to different operating systems, and they all work great.

I love everything about this, but this bit I love just slightly more:

Updated 4/30/2025: I have received hundreds of e-Mails from my flyer. I told my grandson that flyers still work in this day and age. He said societal media is the only way, but I was right. And he is still very thin. Thank you all for the interest, I will be in touch. -Theo

All good to great games that build on the foundation set by ALttP. I'd gladly play any of them if you put it in front of me but nostalgia demands that I push the one I played when I was like 9 years old or whatever.

I still play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at least a couple times a year though it's usually with the randomizer these days. It is objectively the best video game ever made, which helps.

How have you determined that this is AI? The proliferation of actual AI slop is bad enough without people out here claiming everything is slop.

Humanity's history with gold would suggest that it is extremely capable of melting brains.

Safety equipment is excluded from the cost cap

I guess this November is no longer a big red X on every publisher's release calendar

Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post. I don't think it's ever looked nearly this dire.

I don't remember exactly how I stumbled across GB, but I think it came up randomly during TheSpeedGamers Final Fantasy marathon in 2009 (which was the inspiration for the first GDQ marathon in 2010). They weren't necessarily the first to do the very personality-focused, video heavy, gaming coverage, but they definitely went at it the hardest and with the fewest fucks given about doing anything the "right" way. I've spent over 16 years now following the site and the people that have come through it, the Giant Bomb Extended Universe. I couldn't possibly quantify the impact they've had on me over the years. It may not technically be the end but I don't see a path forward from here.

Just gonna go be sad for a bit and watch the best content GB ever put out. That would be, obviously, Thursday Night Throwdown: Fortune Street (and part 2). <>

Here we are, 17 years after a bunch of clueless suits fucked with GameSpot and led to the creation of Giant Bomb. Now it's a whole new set of clueless suits fucking with Giant Bomb. It's the circle of capitalism.

I was in deep for GB until the Nextlander split and slowly trailed off since then. I still have mad respect for that group and follow most of them in one way or another. This is a new level of dire for them.

The Giant Bomb Preservation Project still appears to be active so... at least there's that I guess.

Awesome. Yet another reason to donate to the IA!

Edit: Grabbed episode 888 from IA. I'm only 10 minutes in and already these guys are going for it. I love this, fuck Fandom.

"I felt a big hit on the lateral side of the car, and saw Fernando and said: 'Hello!', but luckily there was no damage for anyone."

Ope! Just gonna sneak right past ya here.

Git experience is highly transferrable. Unless you have some specific use case not supported by Git, why wouldn't you use the one where the knowledge is most likely to carry over between projects/jobs?
