Too many games, not enough time. That's the true human struggle.

…. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Beyond disappointed. (Pun intended, I'm a funny guy).

In the coming days I'll write a Backloggd review going more in depth as to why I disliked it, but holy shit, 8 years just for that.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

Awards mean nothing to me (especially Keighley's), but 9 is an impressive number. Kudos to Sandfall for the phenomenal job!

Advice for all "gamers" out there: go play a video game no one is talking about anymore, something like an old Gameboy Color game lost to time and online discourse. Nurture your personal connection to the medium of games/form opinions unaffected by what other people online say.

Being knee-deep into finals season when a new Metroid game drops has to be the biggest fuck-you moment of all time. And I still have to play Hyrule Warriors. And 95% of Air Riders. And Pokémon DLC drops next week. And I wanted to finish Silksong. And I've had Hades on my backlog for a while. And Dis

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but fuck it.

I’ve been at this a long time. Games culture wants the spoils of cultural sophistication without doing the work. It wants a guarantee that the intention to make work guarantees not just a living but a thriving one. It is a medium for children.
Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...
Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

I (almost) exclusively post about games, but man, Nikola Jokic may just be the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. Bron is the undisputed goat, but this man looks like a professional beer drinker and is averaging 29/13/11 shooting 62% from the field. No foul baiting, just straight buckets.

I don't give a damn about Prime 4 reviews (I'd play it even if it was hot garbage), but I always thought it'd be an undisputed masterpiece from day one. With how embarrassing the development of this game has been for Nintendo, I thought we'd be getting the BoTW of 3D Metroid. 🤷‍♂️

"If true, it will mean that Naughty Dog will have gone virtually an entire console generation without releasing an original game."

Surreal, given their consistent output of high-quality titles over 25 years on PlayStation consoles. It just shows the awful state of this industry.
