Not great at writing a good description of himself. Potential game designer and/or writer perhaps?

I've been thinking about making this thread for a bit now, ever since I was added to a game creator Starter Pack by @aceottorney.bsky.social, which has led to some people following me.
Bear with me though.
I appreciate the follows, but I have to admit I feel slightly conflicted at this point.

In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together.
It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out!

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is out this week, and the embargo has been lifted. This is my review of it, in Dutch. Despite the personal issue I have with, I am sure others as well, due to one particular aspect, it is still good. But my experience with it has started to show come cracks in the series.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties bestaat uit een remake van het derde deel en het zijverhaal Dark Ties. Die zogenaamde gaiden focust zich op de achtergrond van antagonist Yoshitaka Mine, terwijl Kiwami 3 het avontuur van Kazuma Kiryu in Okinawa en Tokio moderniseert.

This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI.
We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

Wonderful review of a wonderful Wim Wenders film. Saw it last year and it's been stuck with me ever since. I've always had a thing for slow, subtle, slice of life films and this one is just perfect.
Well worth the read, even if you haven't seen the film yet. Although I really recommend watching it.

Somebody should make a proper Drum 'n Bass Fishing rhythm game, catch fish on the beat, and the music is altered by reeling a fish in or letting it go slack.
It starts off normally for the first few levels, but slowly, per level, it's turning more and more into a rave. 😀
