I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.
Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)
Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too. Technology is the active human interface with the material world. But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources. This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense. We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe... One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?

Lembrei de Sexy Brutale dia desses (vendo alguém jogar Gregory Horror Show de PS2, estética bem parecida), tá 11 pila na Steam, gosto muito, um bom mistério com boas mecânicas! Tem que ter mais jogo de ficar de Espionildo nos convidados de uma mansão/hotel.
Capa de Sexy Brutale, o nome do jogo é bem ruim mesmo kkkkk

Hypnospace é um dos meus jogos favoritos, eu sempre me pego pensando principalmente nos personagens, em como tudo é retratado e entregue com tanta sinceridade...

Eu tô muito triste :(((

SiIvaGunner started with a simple premise: trolling people looking for game music with mashups. It has grown into something greater: a volunteer, non-profit, artist-managed collective in the service of great rips and one the best parts of YouTube. For @aftermath.site

the old Hollywood studio system collapsed in the 1950's in 60's due to the popularity of television, in the same way that the game industry is collapsing due to the popularity of short form online video and speculative investments. the art form will live on, but the old structures are hollowing out

"game industry dead" doesn't mean "no more games ever", it means the networked machine that employs people to make cultural entertainment products for profit is no longer capable of performing basic functions.

Working simultaneously in AAA & indie these last few years, this resonates.

if you care at all about the "post-gaming" prognosticating i've been crowing about from the rooftops, read this article.

it's a dead-on analysis of where we're at and why things are coming apart. there's no way that the video game play field isn't going to be dramatically redefined in the next 5yrs

via @dynamicsporadic.bsky.social, please watch this five minute short film by Tonda Ros, the designer of Blue Prince. It's very cool to see the extent to which the game is an extension of his personality/self. Be the sickos you want to see in the world.

The Vanishing Culture report arrives today at a critical moment: While Internet Archive recovers from a cyberattack, it’s a reminder of how fragile our access to knowledge can be. Preserving culture & history requires resilience—and collective action.

Alt: The image shows the cover of the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture report. On the left, the words "Vanishing Culture" are prominently displayed in bold, dark font against a neutral background. To the right, a set of cultural artifacts including a VHS tape, an open book, a film reel, a vinyl record, and a web link icon appear to disintegrate into pixels, symbolizing the disappearance of analog and digital media. Below these icons is a pixelated computer hand cursor pointing to the word "SAVE," emphasizing the need for preservation. The Internet Archive's logo is placed in the bottom-right corner.

Parece que toda semana falamos de demissões nos videogames, e muitos dizem que isso é apenas o mercado se reajustando à um mundo pós-pandemia

Legal, mas nem falaram quem são os devs que vieram de Disco Elysium. Esse ainda não é o novo projeto do Aleksander Rostov e do Robert Kurvitz, diretores de arte e narrativa do original. E ainda tem um da Dark Math Games. A corrida pra quem vai carregar o legado kkkkkkk

Former 'Disco Elysium' devs established new studio Longdue which works on “psychogeographic RPG with narrative depth” which continue the legacy of 'Disco Elysium'.

UFO 50 feels like a monument to an earlier era where people were freer to mess with ideas and there wasn't this immense pressure for indie game dev to become all marketing, all the time. that's by far the biggest factor that's destroyed so much of the potential of the indie game space, for me
