Ah thank you!

I feel mean and I've deliberated over this, but it's a hollow-feeling game. It's not without redeeming qualities - most of the characters and their performances are great - but overall, it's a disappointment.

Earth Must Die Demo on Steam These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

It was simply a case of me doing better, but I just can't keep up. I like to really try and understand stuff and that takes time, and I don't have enough time to give everything the time it deserves. Which is why I'm posting on Bluesky obviously, because that will help?

Gah. I hate myself when I start making snap decisions about games I'm emailed about - about whether they're both interesting to me and likely to be interesting to other people. That's years of someone's work - years of many people's work - sometimes brushed off by me in seconds. I wish...

Haha brilliant

I love the language in the Eurogamer comments. In response to Microsoft's Game Pass price raise: "they can absolutely blow this out of their ass"

"The idea is it's a point-and-click adventure game but the lead character refuses to touch anything. He's above it; because he's from land-owning gentry, he won't press buttons."

Blimey.

Good instincts!

It's like Ultima Online!

Ghost of Yōtei review - simple pleasures and missed opportunities Sucker Punch's sequel offers more great combat, but would be better served as a linear action game, freed of its poor sidequests and dated open world.

This is gorgeous writing by @christapsell.bsky.social (I wish I could write like that) www.eurogamer.net/ghost-of-yot...

It's not doing big traffic but I'm really pleased with my Baby Steps review vid, really blessed to have a boss who values creativity. A lot of folk assumed that becoming an IGN brand meant having the personality stomped out of us, but it's not been like that at all www.youtube.com/watch?v=U871...

I like Baby Steps a lot. And also hate it

I was looking through my Invincible screenshot gallery earlier and, cor, that game. Every frame a painting n that!

Lasombra and Toreador Clans added to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 base game following fan backlash to original premium DLC plans Two clans previously tied to paid DLC are now part of the base game.

I still remain to be convinced about the game but abolishing the grubby 'hold back clans as paid content' idea is the right thing to do

Oh go one more quote then:

"For years, indie authors have been working hard creating and fighting against the market to dignify the art of video games, and that also means producing video games for adults, where a video game is not a toy. Let us be adults."

-Caroline Delbert

Well said.

"If this becomes the standard, it would affect games, stories, artists, the industry, and our societies."

There are many more but I'll be many posts-deep by the time I've relayed all of them. Suffice to say the collateral damage here affects games as a grown-up medium overall.

"Having the content of our culture being dictated by corporations isn't any less harmful than if it was done by governments. [It] gets watered out and becomes cowardly when we can't express ourselves freely...

Queer developers speak out as adult games remain in limbo following payment processor showdown at Steam and itch.io When developer and Itch Queer Games Bundle co-founder Taylor McCue awoke one morning in late July it was to panic onlin…

Slightly floored by some of these quotes this morning related to the payment processor-related clampdown on adult games across Itch/Steam.

"[It] creates a real direct harm on LGBTQ developers like me: a hesitance, a fear, a chilling effect on our free speech and expression." -Robert Yang
