Alright folks, this is mostly a proper introduction for my current moots. But I also set out to make my next #promosky / #gamingsky post my last one for a while — and a good one. Here you go.

Here's who I am, my favorite kinds of media, and how I'd like to interact with you all when I can.
You know it's a rough time when the real voice comes out.

This nightmare is almost certainly my gateway into Metroid-style collect-thing-shoot-thing platformers

“Man, I haven’t heard from Bryan in a while. Is he dead? I hope he's not stuck in The Etern-“


I’VE BEEN STUCK IN THE ETERNAL CASTLE

150 hours in an early-onset dementia simulator that runs on hope, high blood pressure, and retinal tissue. STUCK IN THERE. Thriving and winning and screaming HELP

Taking a break from my current hyperfixation to say that the OD and Death Stranding: Mosquito trailers look weird and cool

...and with this I recede, back into my pile of post-it notes and gameplay footage

I played a bunch of cool low poly indie games and demos this past month. Bluesky has an awesome community of devs making killer stuff right now, including @hexosphere.xyz (Prison of Husks) @adinolfi.bsky.social (Heartworm) and @knifedemonsoftware.bsky.social (Brush Burial). Exciting times, I say.

Silly question, for the folks who play Metroidvanias: what one game would you tell someone to play to get them into the subgenre?

(If I get no answers, I shall continue to pretend they don't exist)

So yesterday I decided to get back into playing classic roguelikes by starting with Caves of Qud.

I forgot what that game is. That game is NOT an on-ramp

Now that I've been unplugged for a little while, time to log back in and see what my mutuals have been—

Oh fuck what did I do now

Why is it so ridiculously hard to get a halfway decent mech game these days

An action RPG where you collect the souls of Wu Tang members like Infinity Stones is not something I can comprehend today

I must assume that whoever recommended I play Kenshi also deals hard drugs

Thank you for watching, and for making interesting games! I'm looking forward to 2.0!
Thanks for the great video, I enjoyed it a lot (ironically, while working on 2.0).

To answer your question in the video, 2.0 is focused on addressing issues like the UI and pacing, as well as adding optional events and giving players a bit more agency.

Welp, wandering around for hours on end in Oblivion Remastered has distracted me from wandering around for hours on end in Death Stranding. Thanks, Virtuos!
