The biggest excitement of my life right now is what Prime will randomly put on for me after I finish something else

The fact that people aren’t more worried about humans forgetting how to do literally ANYTHING the more they rely on AI is just completely mind-boggling to me. Did Wall-E not teach them anything

So, when they started designing Crimson Desert, did they just go «World Constrictions: No» and «Game Mechanics: Yes»?

I don’t care what you think about Harry Styles, just go watch the Aperture music video.

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron?
A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

To be clear, Disney asked for quotes, then deleted the post because folks passed the vibes check 😂

It’s so fucking funny that the insanity of DJT’s letter to Norway was so absurd that half the people who read it thinks it’s satire

Goosebumps of the year: the roar from the audience at the FOTR release trailer

a picture of a page from a handwritten notebook, listing all animals and perfect pelts needed for said animal

Cleaning out for move and found this notebook where I tracked the amount of perfect pelts I needed in Red Dead 2 and the perfect example of both why I stopped playing it and what a fucking nerd I am

Replaying Dragon Age Veilguard (for some reason, I have diffuse itchings I don’t know how to scratch) and using the photo mode to peek at unreachable areas. I just found this corpse in Dmeta’s crossing, placed in a very suspicious pose on a … giant wheel of cheese. I salute you, whoever did this.

I still think it’s absolutely bonkers that I get to say ”I make video games” when people ask me what I do for a living. Like, is this even real?? Wtf

U.K, Canada and Australia formally recognize a Palestinian state, breaking with the U.S. The announcements Sunday marked a significant shift in foreign policy, with several other European nations and U.S. allies set to follow suit in the coming days.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

He’s very good at both in any case. The Pitt was great.

Do you think Noah Wyle has played a doctor for so long now that he could actually function as one

The daily struggle of being a narrative designer is literally convincing people you are, in fact, a designer

Really excited, terrified and proud of this one! åEver since Gabriel Knight Mysteries as a kid, detective games have been my absolute favorite game genre. Now, this is obviously constricted to the world and story of Dune, but to be the designer on our own investigation has been SUCH a joy. Check it!

Books read in August:

Mirja Unge - Hundnätter
Andrey Kurkov - The Stolen Heart
Frank Herbert - God Emperor of Dune

Definitely played Coral Island and Banishers the most, the first after the latter has frazzled my nerves enough.

Games played in August:
Coral Island
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Best Served Cold
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream
Tales of the Shire

Finished: Eriksholm! Wow, my first fully finished game this year 😅 13 sneaky hours I thoroughly enjoyed.

“This story deserves to be more than just a book.”

That’s how stupid this sounds.

Happy birthday Dustborn ❤️ My first game release and my first job in the game industry, this game and team forever holds an incredibly dear place in my heart.

Thanks for the kind words @ewords.bsky.social ❤️- now obviously there are a bunch more talents behind this content and I’ll make sure to share this with them! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it and hope we wont disappoint in the upcoming chapters:)

Omg you guys I actually finished a game this year

Books read in July:

Mizuki Tsujimura - Lonely Castle in the Mirror
David Lindsay - Voyage to Arcturus

Usually read a ton more but I mostly worked and didn’t particularly enjoy any of these books so it was… slow.
What did you read?

Games played in July:

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream
Palia
Islanders: New Shores

What about you?

NONE of the two use their god damned hearing aids and I spend most of my time with them either repeating myself 5 times or talking so loudly I give myself a headache.
Mom full on put her hand in a scorching frying pan today cause she couldn’t hear it sizzling and then went on to blame her tinnitus.

Is everyone’s mom fully delusional or only mine? Today she said not only does she NOT have bad hearing and I’m the problem for mumbling too much, but also that her state-issued hearing aid was a «pedagogical experiment» to trick grandma into getting one too.

Two girls playing around the bridge where I’m taking a swim talking:

Girl: Would you rather be a spider or a fish?
Girl2: Spider.
Girl: Why?
Girl2: Because less people would try to eat me and I would get to eat all the time.

Awesome reasoning.
