I spent most of the Xmas break replaying Cyberpunk 2077 and came away with an urge to dive deep into its themes with a new piece. www.si.com/videogames/f...
Cyberpunk 2077 is a literary masterpiece

Like Dawntrail or not I think it's pretty hard to deny that 7.1 MSQ cliffhanger was one of the most chilling they've ever done. Always so impressive/terrifying FF14's writers are at instilling an unbelieveable sense of dread 💀

This is sad news. This man is a legend and the more you learn about Falcom during its early years, the more you see just how influential and important it was to gaming as a medium. Thank you Kato san for everything!

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
BuzzFeed sells "Hot Ones" studio for $82.5 million as it pursues more AI-driven content
The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

Shoutout to the Wipeout series for PlayStation's 30th anniversary! Hard to overstate just how revolutionary this series was in making a name for the PlayStation brand as a whole. It absolutely would not be where it is today without Wipeout. Big ups to Psygnosis for making it happen 🙏

Dynasty Warriors Origins demo was ridiculously fun. It's unapologetically DW with probably the best feeling combat in the series yet. Not a fan of other officers only being temporarily playable in the campaign though, tied to a meter. Hopefully the full game has a free mode like classic Musou games

Been thinking about Travis Strikes Again recently and how it's easily one of the best examples of a game constantly, genuinely subverting your expectations. I adore the dialogue in this game, and the constant switches in genre and art direction are such a treat. Super underrated game imo

I recently reviewed the Evercade Alpha countertop arcade machine and found a lot to love about it. If you fancy building a physical media collection of arcade (and some indie!) games then this is a superb way to do just that www.techradar.com/gaming/everc...

Genuinely all for them taking another crack at Sonic '06. The fundamentals of a good game are already there: good level design, good story and of course one of the best soundtracks in the series. If any Sonic game needs a remake/remaster it's this one
Sonic x Shadow Generations' producer says he'd like to remake Sonic '06 - often considered the worst Sonic game.

Just fully Ys-pilled at this point. Oath in Felghana is also like 3 quid but I think I'll wait on the remaster for that 🧎♂️

Rolled credits on Ys 10: Nordics. Another incredible entry in this series that recaptures that massive adventure feeling that Ys 8 had. An easy 10/10 and a personal GOTY contender, can't recommend it enough 🔥

First hour of #Slitterhead thoughts: possession mechanic is genuinely super cool and really cleverly implemented in exploration and combat. Combat itself is a touch jank but by no means horrible. Story setup so far is really intriguing too, I'm definitely hooked
