    It honestly makes me want to play overwatch even less than before. The desperation is crazy. Like ,NAH STAY TRASH. Stay updating the game like molasses like you were before and giving us crumbs of content. Fuck yall, don't try to switch up now that you're not sitting comfortably anymore. PERISH

    "Publish or Perish" is now a card game, which should be especially great for lab parties! economistwritingeveryday.com/2024/08/10/p... 🧪🌊⚒️ #academicsky

    Hilarious. But too on the nose? Boardgame "'Publish or Perish' simulates the experience of building a career in scientific research" www.newscientist.com/article/mg26... "Players race to publish useless nonsense while sabotaging each other and delivering snarky comments."

    My only problem is the eternal roadblock: I didn't do PvP during a four month period 15 years ago, so I can never get this sword ever again. I can get every single mythic appearance and rare mount from any raid in the game still, but elite PvP items? Perish the thought.

    Perish the naivety I'm about to say but: If AAA game companies invested in the real people that make their games (realistic hours, good pay, little to no crunch, nice benefits, better management) as opposed to... the gen AI-slop plagiarism tools, maybe... games would be better? Crazy, I know!

    Aren't we just so nice in doing that. Especially when it's getting harder to afford groceries, gas, housing and healthcare. We just didn't want him to miss a golf ⛳ game in Ireland. Perish the thought. We'll find a way for the things we need somehow. Don't worry about us.

    Speedrun or otherwise, DO NOT make it a drinking game where you take a shot every time there’s a nod to a Square-Enix Game; YOU WILL PERISH.

    😱I think I created a game that just went viral 😱https://x.com/jayvanbavel/status/1794021182238236956 "The Publish or Perish Game: A Humorous Party Game About Academic Publishing" pokes fun at a lot of absurdities of academia.

    I think I might have just received the best academic gift: *Publish or Perish* - the game 🃏 it’s made (@maxhuibai.bsky.social) & tested by researchers #peer-reviewed & very fun to play with non-academic friends too („you can tell that you do this for a living“) 😅🌟 (not an ad, just a (peer) review) 👩‍🏫

  • ANGEL 🍏 7.5 NOW!!! @ienzo.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 16, 2026

    There was a headline floating around here that level “admitted to using ai […] in new Layton game” which was referring to curious village remake (not even directly true btw) but obviously the average person would assume that would be NWOS. A game journalist being inflammatory?? Perish the thought

    Sony no longer selling disks that don't actually have the game on it? Perish the thought!!!! Now before I get the "we should OWN the game" pile-on, I totally believe that even digital copies I buy should be mine BUT... You're only fooling yourself if you thought the game was actually on the disk.
