A bunch of gaming types (like me) thought Clair Obscur was a new Lost Odyssey game or spiritual successor when it was revealed last year, so it’s not a surprise that the director loved it, something reflected in the game itself. www.eurogamer.net/its-the-last...

Revelations: The Demonschool – Damage Control Blog
The game is worth attention alone thanks to the Persona-like aesthetic, but the unique gameplay approach should help it stand out.

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.
