I need to say the new pokemon game is actually PRETTY good. It's fun, it's dynamic. It's visually repetitive but what's there it's usually nice to look at. It runs great.
It is not what I always dreamed of as a child, but I was a terrible game designer as a kid so that's actually a good thing.

Hahah this is very true. But yes, it's a fun video game.
To be clear this is good, it’s really nice to sink into and the combat is outstanding - like some of the best out there. It’s also gorgeous.
It’s also A Video Game in that you meet a monk who’s like “I gotta show you a shrine to pray at” and then you do and it lets you upgrade sword killing

What excites me the most about Silksong is the fact they were able to work on it all the time they wanted to, had fun in the process and now just want as many people as possible playing the game they loved to make (reasonable pricing, available on gamepass, and also free for kickstarter backers)

I'm about to finish Mike's "Good game, no rematch" book, and it's pretty wild how our childhoods seem to be SO similar. There was an offset of years in respect to how accessible tech was in Argentina compared to The States that probably made that possible... but still wild. It's a very fun read!!

I finally finished Cocoon! Is the best game ever made! Somehow I returned to it after several months, several times, and I always understood right away what I had to do or where to go. And it didn't just felt "trivial".. it's just great design! Anyway, play it if you haven't! You are gonna love it!
