I play (and sometimes speedrun) video games, and sometimes cover their music.

After enough instances of #SteamNextFest and other events where the Browse All Games list re-shuffles every time I revisit the page and there are tons of repeats across sub-genres, I finally made a bookmarklet to help skim past the ones I've already looked at.

I unexpectedly finished Beyond Sunset tonight. Overall the game is worth experiencing for the visuals and music if nothing else, and $10 is a reasonable price tag.

I definitely think it feels unpolished, and I have to wonder how much its scope was scaled back in the last 18 months.

Ran into technical difficulties earlier around my usual stream end time. Since I'm unexpectedly deep into the final chapter of Beyond Sunset already though, I'm going to see if I can actually finish it all tonight.

Getting back to Beyond Sunset today after the break last weekend. Time to finish chapter 2, then head into chapter 3 which should have some new stuff I hadn't seen in early access last year...

Wrack Reclamation (formerly known as the Wrack Remake) releases later today. There's a bundle that makes it cheaper if you own the original.

Very sympathetic to my friends whose streams benefit from or depend on SAMMI, but the timeline of their dork founder coming back saying "I'm going to save this doomed project... with AI!" only for the entire dev team to quit and everybody dropping it is, separate from everything, extremely funny.

I've been skipping out on the Shmup Book Club for a couple of weeks, so it's about time I get back to that... and that includes giving the website some attention, so I'm doing some of that first, then will see which shmup(s) I feel like playing.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Tokyo Xanadu apparently has an intermission, and I'm smack in the middle of it, and it seems to be delivering _all_ of the lore and plot progression which is kind of the opposite of what one might expect

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.

The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

lots of people hate the game awards because it's basically an advertisement-riddled popularity contest.

here's a *way better* reason to hate the game awards. fuck this and fuck geoff keighley
Geoff allegedly set up a program to get the marginalized for photo ops and then dumped them like a sack of bricks, refused to give free tickets for them TO GET THEIR AWARD, and then took sponsor money for the program, and pocketed it.

No, I will not be watching his dogshit awards, even to clown on.

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Since I finished what I wanted to over the weekend (thanks to double-stream days), today I set my sights on also finishing up the current chapter of Tokyo Xanadu. The lore-dumping has begun, and things seem to be getting pretty serious.

"Jorjani ... wished more people took a balanced approach to discussing the subject"

You're either a lazy unethical piece of shit cutting talented humans out of the creative process, or you're not. What "balance" do you want?

Fuck Arrowhead, apparently.

I've finished playing E1M1/MAP10 through E1M10/MAP10 and 2 bonus maps in Amalgoom RC5, but there are 2 more bonus maps involving the first 2 maps in each original game that I didn't stumble across in my playthrough, so I'm checking those out to wrap up this weekend.

RE last repost: really was expecting Metroid Prime 4 to be the thing that would make me begrudgingly dust off my Switch.

But nope, it will continue to sit and collect dust, because holy shit even within the first 2 minutes of that trailer it is so tonally off-the-mark.

Late start today because apparently I needed more recuperation from last week's schedule than I thought.

Anyway, for the weekend before my birthday, I'm finally checking out AMALGOOM, i.e. what happens when a bunch of Doom mappers/musicians smash Doom 1 and Doom 2 together.

I've long considered the CoD franchise to be lazy cash-grabs, but apparently blops 7 (slops 7?) takes the cake by a long shot. (And from what I've read at a glance, the campaign is apparently the worst ever.)

There is absolutely no excuse for supporting this absolute garbage with your money.
