God, I hope #Battlefield6 is good. Looks somewhat promising so far? 👀

Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website.

We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

Aaand thats STALKER2 completed !

Honestly what a rad, and slightly uncomfortable game. Good job GSC 👏

Aaaand that's #Avowed finished! Honestly just a thoroughly and genuinely fun game all the way through! Might be a bit early to call this, but very likely going to be among the best games I play this year

Big creds, @obsidian.net

.. now maybe I should finally give Pillars of Eternity a go

I was considering doing a civ VII thread of my own, but this summarizes a lot of my feelings. Kinda bummed. Hopefully it grows on me the same way civ VI managed to, and I'll have another civ game to put 1000+ hrs into.
Civilization VII is, well, hrm, um, yeah:

Communications platforms like Slack and Teams let you invite people to huddle but not cuddle and I think that says something about society.

Is Funcom's new survival MMO Dune: Awakening any good?

It's better than that - it's interesting. As I found out.
Dune: Awakening proves MMOs can still be interesting and try new things www.eurogamer.net/dune-awakeni...

Man.. every time I manage to tear myself away from #League, they pull me back with the cinematics.
And there's so much LORE to unpack in this one!!

Me: Narrative design and game writing are related but separate disciplines. You could compare it to architect and builder, both essential but serving separate functions. There are of course overlapping gray areas we can delve into

Finally started playing Balatro a few days ago, and it's scarily addictive. Why did nobody warn me?? I'm never gonna be productive again:(
