It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

I finished Tomb Raider 1 and forgot how unbelievably difficult that game is.
Shout-out to the incredible remaster btw. Absurdly well-done. And phenomenal achievements as well. Got a kick when one literally requires you to perform a glitch.

Hell has frozen-over and we are in the weirdest timeline.
There’s for some-reason a new #Bubsy game, and its demo is unironically great. End times are upon us.

'Night and the City' by Chris Donlan remains one of the finest online articles on game urbanism ever. Somehow simultaneously personal, historical, and objective it is an excellent read, and a reminder that L.A. Noir remains truly unique.

I understand games go on sale, but WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF #MASSEFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION?! This game is either $60 or $5.
NOTHING IN-BETWEEN! Only these two prices EVERY-OTHER WEEK! On the wrong day: Pay 10x more than you would for the other HALF OF THE MONTH.

More 90's upscale tests.
It's weird how I'm pretty sure that I'm skilled enough to actually remake this game. I know most of the puzzles and I can easily see throwing something like this together in the new version of AGS which now thankfully supports video.

I haven't checked into how video upscalers are doing recently so I decided to rectify that. They're getting better. In cases where the original footage is somewhere, in someones box, in someones garage, this would be not a bad starting point for a restoration project.

Time to shout into the ether again: But is the #MetaQuest the single worst piece of hardware to troubleshoot.
Seriously, I’ve never seen one issue have this many reasons for happening, and 50% of the solutions are like: Just leave it on and when it feels like it wants to work it will work.
Wtf.

Playing #DeathStranding for the first-time recently. Completely blind and loving it.
I would like to showcase and appreciate the fact that not only #ConanOBrien has a cameo but he is an IN-UNIVERESE CHARACTER. WHO SENDS YOU EMAILS ABOUT HIS LOVE OF COSPLAY AND HOSTING LOCAL SHOWS IN THE APOCOLYPSE.

Playing Clair Obscur and half this games plot is like:
“Maybe- We are powerless from art turning into silent hill monsters and ripping us limb from limb.”
And then a talking marshmallow makes a pun about how he can swim.

Just read a reply to a video on YouTube from an account sporting a FoxHound logo supporting Trump.
At some point “the creator rolling over in his grave” is simply not enough for criticism. I would like to understand how someone like this can like- function day-to-day.

I think people need to talk more about what a monumental waste of everyone’s time the final Brutal/Legendary Challenges are in #FinalFantasyViiRebirth
I don’t know what the “intent” of these challenges were, but I am blown away at just how bad they are. What the fuck are these things?
