GTA 6's detail level is getting silly 🍩
In a new Guardian preview, Rockstar North's Rob Nelson shows Jason eating a donut with one hand while sipping a beer with the other. Start running and he hikes the six-pack into his arm, bottles sloshing.
Rockstar has also confirmed that overeating makes Jason and Lucia put on weight, and gyms build muscle.
CJ walked so Jason could snack. 8 days.

Hope in the City tip 🔎
Talk to everyone twice. The second pass is where the map lies less.
If a clue feels too neat, it probably is.

Mortal Kombat II's Super Famicom/SNES launch hit Japan on this day in 1994 🥊
32 years of Fatalities, arcade smoke, and "Finish Him" arguments.
Still the bracket starter pack.

It's official: the EU just proposed the Digital Fairness Act 🎰
• No paid loot boxes for kids
• No pay-to-win or pay-to-progress for kids
• Drop odds shown + an off switch for everyone
• Virtual currency prices shown in real money
Not law yet. Parliament and Council get the next say. Gacha monetization teams, start sweating.

We broke down every number:

MONOMOON is out TODAY on PC 🌙
Gentle Giant's adventure through a tiny, mysterious open world guided by moonlight, where the way forward is reserved for the knowing and the daring.
Small map, big secrets. My FAVORITE kind of open world.

GTA 6 fact of the day, 8 days out 🌴
Sony says it's now the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history. Sensor Tower estimates 9.69M digital pre-orders on PS5 and Xbox, past Cyberpunk 2077's 8M.
It's a third-party estimate, but the RECORD looks real.

King Dies Rich hits PC, Mac and Linux on Thu Nov 12 & we’re probably NOT going to play it…
It’s a pixel-art siege roguelite, where you defend your throne from undead hordes without leaving your seat, then spend the loot on permanent kingdom upgrades. Which sounds super fun! BUT it’s probably an AI clone of @thecodeotter’s very cool looking game, Crown Me Again.
We’re not opposed to the use of AI in game dev, except for when it’s used to steal intellectual property.
We recommend following @thecodeotter and his progress on Crown Me Again. You should also check out the video where he addresses the cloning of his game. We’ll link it in the comments. Good luck Code Otter! Crown Me Again looks AWESOME.
Tuesday night check-in 🎮
FM27 save, Warhammer Survivors run, or Shrek nostalgia?
Drop what you actually booted — not what you meant to boot.

Employed-gamer truth 😴
You daydream about a three-hour session. You get 47 minutes and a loading screen.
Pick a game that respects short bursts tonight. Long epics can wait for the weekend.

A "Mega Man Legends – New Media" project just showed up on ACTRA Toronto's production list 👀
• Production window: Sept 14 to Dec 1, 2026
• Casting in-house, no company named
• The original's English dub was recorded in Canada
Capcom hasn't said a word, and "New Media" could mean a game, a remaster or animation. But Legends 3 got cancelled in 2011, and this is the most real the series has felt in years.
