Bought a Japanese SNES copy of this game that I couldn't understand just for this box art

(Then it got stolen when I lived in Pompey :()

Still the best cover ever created.

If u only play one game in ur life play Immortality

The Rainbow is such an indulgence

Consume Me review - anything but empty calories A teenage slice-of-life tale, an energy-management challenge and a satire of diet culture – this indie award-winner is a flavoursome treat

Played Consume Me. Loved Consume Me. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

The ghost of Jane Goodall is coming for y’all and she wants to remake Jason X

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Si no habéis jugado a la tremenda maravilla que es IMMORTALITY no tenéis excusa, aunque lo que te guste sea el cine, porque si es así IMMORTALITY es del mejor cine que has visto y con una narrativa muy diferente a la del medio.

She is amazing in it too!

Joguei no Gamepass quando lançou, comprei na Steam depois e facilmente criaria outra conta só pra comprar dnv de tão bom que é Immortality. Joguem essa obra prima!

IMMORTALITY was my goty and moty for the year it came out. If I was in the criterion closet I’d be asking ‘hey you guys got immortality in here?’

This looks like Michael is using the book to hide his face from agents doing a sweep of the building in a wrong man spy thriller

Might not be 100% as classic as you want but I loved ULTROS

The elevator in my hotel makes a sound that sounds like the first few notes of the Halloween theme and it’s upsetting me

As a Matsuno-head my secret shame is that my favorite Ogre games are the ones he didn’t work on - Ogre Battle 64 and Tactics Ogre: KoL. Amazing games

Paying people not to work sounds like the kind of socialism they’re always inventing as a bogeyman

It’s a beautiful port! Wish more people had eyes on it but it’s weird how the Netflix stuff doesn’t get talked about so much

They’re calling out boarding groups here like ‘A for awesome! B for breathtaking’ I had high hopes for F but they went with Fabulous :/

Yeah I think I have it in my phone too. I have a deep Into the Breach save on the amazing mobile port but foolishly locked that to an expired Netflix dev account :(((
