Plant shopping adventure and potentially misjudging the size of our car.

Whoever had the idea to take the Predator franchise down the Buddy Comedy route frankly deserves a raise.

That was much better than anyone could convince me it would be.

I have no choice but to angrily follow in contempt of The Algorithm.

Instagram is like HEY DO YOU LIKE MUSCLES? LOOK MUSCLES! HEY YOU, THEREโ€™S MUSCLES! HEY! HEY YOU WANT SOME MORE MUSCLES?!

Ok, yes, I do actually. But I hate that they know that.

If you wanna undo the last 40+ hours of anticipation for the sake of being (what I guess you assume is) clever, go ahead.

But donโ€™t make me COMPLICIT in it.

It doesnโ€™t feel clever. It feels like being catfished.

My absolute blood-boiling, forever-seething pet hate in games is multiple subversive endings that Iโ€™m forced to choose from.

If youโ€™re not watching Pluribus, do yourself a favor and watch Pluribus.

This is gonna be like Severence where everything is spoiled 5 minutes after it airs.

Trust me, you want to ride along with it.

5 years ago I decided to teach myself C++ so I could attempt making my own game.

After 5 long years of late nights and weekends, Iโ€™m proud to finally announce, I have a working pause screen.

Update: A bee just flew into the car. So much for โ€œitโ€™s more scared of youโ€ mister Julian.

โ€œItโ€™s more scared of you than you are of it.โ€

Ok Julian but I havenโ€™t seen a spider break out in a cold sweat and slap itself in the face and vomit because a person touched it.

Little Nightmares 3 co-op for Halloween month is pretty perfect tbh.

๐Ÿ’ฏ Itโ€™s insane that in one generation we went from baked lighting and a couple of runtime spotlights (if youโ€™re lucky) to real time GI with essentially unlimited shadow casting light sources.

But if I ever have to babysit a bake until 4am again I will step into traffic.

The TV series wasnโ€™t the worst thing ever created either.

it's honestly very funny that dogs are just SO friendly and sociable they're just allowed to smell like that

Silksong has made me realise Iโ€™m now, sadly, too old for some games.

Iโ€™m surprised YouTube will play an uninterrupted 30 seconds of ads without putting ads in it.

The last true masterpiece in the genre before Hollow Knight was arguably Ori, and itโ€™s those inspirations that give us games like Hollow Knight. I think ultimately, while there are failures, inspiration fuels magic.

Iโ€™m not sure thatโ€™s a bad thing? Team Cherry captured lightning in a bottle, and thatโ€™s not something you can manufacture, but that doesnโ€™t invalidate the existence of good games that donโ€™t reach that pinnacle. People are inspired by all kinds of things. A masterpiece is a good place to start.

Tbf metroidvanias are on a pretty consistent release schedule. Itโ€™s my fav genre and I think thereโ€™s been at least one solid title every year-ish for a while. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was fantastically good, but unfortunately undersold.

Still refreshing steam / PSN to see which is the first to unfuck their system so we can buy it ๐Ÿ’€

Isometric action puzzle games will always have an audience, and itโ€™s a starved genre. This looks incredible, canโ€™t wait to get my hands on it!

Ditto! I replay it every couple of years. But I rarely meet people who know it exists :(

Memories of LandStalker, the most underrated game of the 16bit era.

Iโ€™m kidding, heโ€™s the best thing thatโ€™s ever existed.

The biohazard part is true tho.

Sweet baby cheeses.

I think this qualifies as a biohazard.

If someone had warned me about frenchie farts I think I would have reconsidered.
