So uhh, I haven't logged on here in a while and just seen that 9 days ago I was suddenly followed by a random assortment of about 1000 users??

That seems extremely spam bot-y. Anyone else had this happen?

All of this so much.

One of my gaming pet peeves is that even the biggest subtitle sizes are too small for reading clearly off a TV screen.

(I assume because devs are mostly seeing the game on a computer monitor only ever a few feet away from them)
One of my pet peeves when playing games is bad subtitles. Tiny text, illegible fonts, no speaker names, poor line breaking, the list goes on! Movies and TV have standardized style guides, so why don't games?!

Anyway, so I decided to rant about it.

8 hours in and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is excellent.

MachineGames keep inching closer to making a full RPG/immersive sim - exploring & sneaking around the Vatican hub map reminded me of Prague in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Also, the most satisfying FPS punching ever.

@gworks.bsky.social heya, what's the best way to get notified when pre-orders go live? I only saw it was live over the weekend and then it was closed before I could do an order. ><

Thank you!

Twitter is nuking every single post that mentions the name Hans Kristian Graebener, even in quotes. Everyone that posts it is getting hit. I've never seen sitewide censorship like this done specifically on behalf of a neo nazi.

I keep forgetting that I have an account here. There's too much social media, I only have so much time in a day to waste.
