I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic.

As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

A Roguelite Deckbuilder Where I'm An Exorcist Detective Fighting Demons? Yes, Please
Malys is quite the surprise as a follow-up to Summerfall Studios' first game, Stray Gods: A Roleplaying Musical. Rather than craft another superb choice-driven visual novel with an emphasis on music and Greek myth, Summerfall's next game is a turn-based roguelite deckbuilder set in a demon-filled city. The tone looks to be far darker and there's a lot more to the gameplay this time around, but much like Summerfall Studios' first game, Malys looks like a visual delight and features characters I desperately want to get to know. "There was an initial question, do we want to do this more as a visual novel, more like Stray Gods?" Summerfall creative director David Gaider told me during an exclusive gameplay preview of Malys. "Because Stray Gods did not have much in the way of gameplay, we wanted to try something that has more gameplay to prove that we're a studio that can do something that's fun and still narrative-driven but that has a very strong gameplay loop at its heart."Even the weaker demons can pack a punch. In Malys, you play as a former priest turned exorcist named Noah. He's striving to cross the entirety of a city to reach a major demon waiting for him on the other side, but lesser demons block his path. Each confrontation has a chance of wearing on Noah's will, and if it is fully depleted, he collapses, only to awaken back at the start of his journey with a time reset. These time loops allow Noah to better prepare for future runs and gain the trust of citizens, but he isn't the only one who remembers everything that transpires with every loop: A mysterious celestial, a powerful occultist, and a seemingly friendly masked demon are immune to the time rewinds, too.Continue Reading at GameSpot

I’m home and watching the PAX Panel. I’m still in shock. Here’s a picture I took from the Contemporary Resort right after I was asked to be a co-owner of Giant Bomb. I can’t begin to explain how overwhelmed with gratitude I am right now. Thank you, everyone!!

I love Giant Bomb. Couldn’t have imagined being involved in shaping a new era, relaunching it, and having a part in its history.

I couldn’t be happier with this outcome: my friends own my favorite website. I know they’ll do right by it and the community.

Giant Bomb forever.

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast.

The ending of Xenoblade 3 had me absolutely gutted, sobbing my eyes out. One of the best endings to a game that I have ever experienced (and certainly the most bittersweet)

Runner up would be Like a Dragon Gaiden’s ending with Kiryu. Felt so sad for him.

Watched the GTA 6 trailer. It looks pretty, but man these games just don’t speak to me at all. At least I won’t have FOMO.

Man I'd just really started getting into Giant Bomb. Voicemail dump truck was such a fucking good show. I really hope everyone there lands on their feet & that the corporate overlords at Fandom don't try to resurrect it in a "brand safe" way. This is such a disappointment. Supporting Game Mess now
We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience — we're actively exploring creative directions for the future of GB and look forward to sharing more with you soon.

An annoying thing about the turn-based “discourse” is how both sides talk past each other without acknowledging where each other are right. We are in a bit of a resurgence since P5 (imo) but there was a time where the goal was to move away from turn-based to action for understandable reasons.

Internet is out and my PC doesn’t want to accept my iPhone’s WiFi hotspot to do anything. Guess I am napping and then playing whatever games don’t require an internet connection (can’t even log into Steam to play offline).

Might just be a Heroes of Might and Magic 3 day

In my gaming: Blue Prince was good, but I don't have the patience to solve all the available mysteries, so I rolled credits & moved on.

Enjoying the hell out of Yakuza 8. Farewell tour to Kiryu has been great. Near the end and trying to finish it so I can dive into Expedition 33 over the weekend.

Managed to help my brother secure a preorder for the Switch 2 (eventually got through the Walmart line). Not gonna shell out for one for my personal use, but I won't mind checking out some Mario Kart world with him & whatever else comes out. We'll see if I fold once Path of Radiance comes to online

Stray Gods was so good! So it was an easy choice to support this on day 1 :)

With the Kickstarter officially starting, please forgive me as I talk about Malys endlessly and forever. To that point, if you've got it in you to support the dreams of an ex-BioWare refugee in this relentlessly awful time in our industry, I will uncharacteristically shower you with love. ❤️

So Mario Kart World looks good but nothing unique, just forza horizon kart. Will be a fun experience for the people that buy it, especially if they haven't played a Forza game before, but nothing that especially justifies the price point. Didn't do anything to change my mind about not buying Day 1

Saw this trailer got dropped during the Triple I initiative showcase today. Heroes of Might & Magic 3 is maybe my favorite game of all time, and this team is actually making a true successor it feels like. Can't wait for a release date!
