oh thank god

I've been having more fun with the server slam than I did last test, and I'm probably more forgiving of the game than Aura rn. But even good runs come with the sense that I would be having a better time playing a genre that isn't trying to awkwardly bridge the gap between co-op and shin-kicking.

But the way every fight in an extraction shooter comes with a tinge of "this didn't need to happen" is such a bummer. There are so few reasons to get into a fight but the game encourages it at every level of design. It wants you to kick people while they're down and find they had nothing you need.

I love a big dumb shooter. I love a small dumb shooter. I love getting the homies together for an hour of kicking each other in the head in Straftat and I love queuing against tough stacks in Deadlock.

Aura's very succinctly put into words thoughts I've been rotating ever since extraction games became the FPS genre du jour - that there is something deeply sad about the way we're chasing a genre built on bringing the world's cruelty and mistrust back into games.

I wanted to mimic how deadlock does its character logos so i made some for the unfinished ones

when you're settled we gotta meet up for a normal welcome to vancouver coffee that definitely isn't a front for planning a coup

declining to apply for sunset visitor not for professional or personal reasons but because having any more natalies would create some kind of critical mass singularity

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

i cannot stop thinking about walking into the loudest protest I've ever seen downtown the other week of people rallying for a free Iran alongside Israeli flags and signs demanding US / Western intervention like...

You know what that looks like, right. You know what that always looks like.
