Morning all. And Happy Valentines Day, at least in this part of the world.
Remember, you don't have to be in a relationship to celebrate. Just enjoy something you think is romantic! A nice piece of fiction, some homemade chocolate, a sexy funk marathon....have some fun with it.

The LLM industry and it's offshoot have had, what, 2 years now, to convince people of the value of their products and all they've come up with is cheap emulations of actual work and an incessant insistence of its own inevitably.
You want people to accept your industry? Sell something worthwhile.

Now, if it had been "ReManimal" instead, then we'd have something.

Castlevania is back, and I couldn't be happier. And it's safe to say that this return will encourage some people to get into the series. But where do you should start? Well, that's what I want to help you with in this thread. Let's do it!

Interesting to see Beast of Reincarnation in the top spot. Maybe I'm just burnt out from all the fantasy hack and slashers recently.

๐Ÿงต Today at @timep.bsky.social, we're launching "The Arab Uprisings 15 Years On: More Than a Moment."

I'd like to tell you a bit more.

This year, we mark fifteen years since the Arab Uprisings, the single most significant event that changed my life and the life of so many in my generation. (1)

I used to watch Dead or Alive tournaments on....I think it was X-Play, before they diminished, when I was a kid. It'll be fun to get a chance to play it myself.
(I think maybe people aren't talking about it as much in order to avoid sparking another "gooner" discourse like with Stellar Blade.)

Having kinda a rough day, so trying to perk myself up with some #MST3k. Decided to go with the "Secret Agent" subgenere that I never really explored before, starting with "Agent for H.A.R.M.".

I'm no longer a Metal Gear fan, but I do still have some fondness for Guns of the Patriots, so I'm hoping the modern port can lead to some folks reevaluating it. I certainly miss it's commitment to professionally animated cutscenes instead of storytelling via audio diary and wiki page.๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm really glad the Greek God of War games are finally getting attention again, even if I'm nervous about how they'll handle them.
I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw from Silent Hill Townfall, much more interested in it now.

Haven't seen anybody talk about Beast of Reincarnation. Kinda overwhelmed by fantasy hack and slashers recently, so I'm hoping for a bit more info.
In that vein, glad Kena's still around, always feels like a breath of fresh air.
First Person Silent Hill seems like a good idea now (PT never sold me).

-I think I'm starting to find the proliferation of dark fantasy action RPGs a bit much. Especially the Soulslike types. Still, maybe one'll rise above the din and clamor.

Overall, seemed pretty good!

-A Castlevania revival is very welcome news, here's hoping they can keep it this time.
-Still want that Star Wars racing game.
-Yakoh just looks like a poor-man's Shadow Tactics.
-Glad to see Dead or Alive return. I have fond memories of watching tournaments of it as a kid.

My #StateofPlay round-up:
-The renewed attention to the Greek games between the remake and Sons of Sparta might get God of War back in my good graces after Ragnarok lost me.
-Likewise, Silent Hill Townfall looks to make me forget my dissapointment with f.
-A Kena sequel is a pleasant surprise.

I think the good feeling regarding the game is more due to Io's (relatively) good rep rather than Bond's.
It's a very successful franchise, granted.
(I'm no fan of Bond either.)
