Valve is doing a great job building a true gaming ecosystem with a unified OS that spans multiple devices. If they lean into retail expansion and ramp up marketing, they could really break out of the niche space they currently occupy in hardware and compete with the big 3.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Hear me out: More people my age have texted me personally saying they listened to VP Harris on Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy podcast compared to any other legacy media source. And they say they now know VP Harris so much better. The Harris campaign knows what it’s doing.

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

That tends to happen when you compare a consoles launch month to sales one year later. Just to put this into perspective, the Switch 2 sold 3.82m this quarter (Apr-Jun) which is more than the PS4 or PS5 sold during the same quarter at any point in their lifetimes.

The lack of a physical disc is not too surprising, given that full game digital sales now account for around 80% of PlayStation software sales and 90% on Xbox. Not to mention hardware price hikes are shifting market share towards the lower cost digital console variants.

Can confirm Pokopia is a hit for Nintendo (& Koei Tecmo + Game Freak) Sold out at retail (retailers underestimated demand), record digital sales uptake, visible boost to Switch 2 hardware sales at retailers. Looks like the system seller they needed in H1 2026.

Yes, this could imply an acquisition of sorts. Could also imply some accounting / financial issue. Just remember to freak the fuck out for the next few days and speculate as much as possible until they announce something.

Yes, this will lead to internal re-evaluations for companies which will ultimately lead to increased prices, game delays, game cancellations, layoffs and more. Even if the tariffs are reversed today, this is already taking place.

I know a lot of people are confused about how Nintendo's Virtual Game Card feature works. So I made this easy to read guide to help everyone understand.
