I've waited a long time to play Routine and it was definitely worth the wait.

As a massive analog and sci-fi fan its basicly a wet dream. The visuals and audio are top level, its genuinely terrifying playing this with headphones.

Congrats on the achievement! @rawfury.bsky.social

Keeper is such an amazing experience!

Incredibly creative and unique; its Double Fine at its finest.

You can never really tell where its going and you'll be constantly surprised and in awe, at least I was. Especially the second half of the game is a real trip.

100% recommend.

One Battle After Another is definitely my favorite movie in a while. Excellent storytelling, especially with current events. You can tell by the 1-star reviews who is triggered lol.

Despite its runtime its excellently paced, breezy, hilarious, with Oscar worthy performances IMO.

Ten years ago today Microsoft acquired physics middleware maker Havok from Intel.

It is still being used in games today, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.
