I spent a summer living abroad where this was my only access to the internet. Booking flights, emails to family, looking for jobs etc all on the DS browser.

Tomorrow...

It would be great if more games had a separate language settings between UI, VO and subtitles.
It would help learn a language without missing the key instructions of how to play the game.

It's been a year let's see if the bsky video compression has gotten any better.
I think it has

Just learned the protagonist of Battlefield 6 is called Murphy. That is worth +20 points on a review scale for me

GTA 3
The successful transition to a 3D open world changed video games forever.

I spent a whole night on this area. I got the jumps down but the gauntlet fight after ruined me. Then I read there is lots more after that.
I am going to come back when I have more abilities.

I had a great time with it.
My recommendation grab some warm bread with olive oil, open a bottle of Etna Rosso or Bianco and escape to the world of 1900s Sicily, at the very least you’ll learn some Sicilian insults.

I'm very excitedly waiting for this game to take over my feed this week. Best of luck with the launch.

Sword of the sea on Steam, Epic & PS5 would scratch a similar itch.

Agreed, I started it yesterday. A lovely chill atmosphere with perfectly matched visuals and music.

This is such a beautiful game. Big Howl's Moving Castle vibes.

Remember him not as a statistic but a son, a husband, a father. All gone because Israel doesn't want to world to see what is happening.
Just 1 of the 237 journalists assassinated.

Okay hear me out, The Alters but done as a one-man theatre production at a local community theater.
Copious amount facial hair being added & removed, lots of different accents and deep audience driven ethical choices.
Yes it can be done, should it be? debatable.

"The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation needs to be defunded, shut down, and the United Nations needs to be allowed back in at full scale," says former GHF security contractor Anthony Aguilar, who calls it "un-American" for the U.S. to back Israel's starvation of Palestinians.

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to watch them die. One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness. Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.” Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%. AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.

Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

I equally really want to learn the development history of this game.
That is a GDC post mortem I'd fly to San Fran for.
It is not a short game and the cinematica have far more polish that you expect from a 37 metacritic. So confusing.

Check out the basement you spawn in with your open world charcter.
I think he is religious podcaster/streamer or something based on the PC setup and other weird stuff in there.

I've had a lifetime playing games.
This is my first time subscribing the a video game magazine.
Thank you @gameinformer.com staff

In this week's Video Games Industry Memo, sponsored by @modulate.bsky.social, I nabbed an exclusive with Leo Varadkar - former Prime Minister of Ireland - to find out what a head of state really thinks about video games policy.

What do you think of ship of Theseus?
I have it, tried it and it didn't stick but after 60 hours of blue prince I think my mind might be ready to give it another go to try a story from multiple in world "authors"

This other thing they need to learn from rocket league is sports games should have killer licensed EDM heavy soundtracks.
The current menu music isn't bad but it's no Flip Reset or Therapy.

Israel's longest running newspaper quoting Israeli soldiers outlining a coordinated plan of mass murder of a starving population.
I will never understand how people and politicians have ignored, dismissed and compartmentalized what is happening in Gaza for so long.

For science!
It is interesting to see what areas are polished and which seem to have been glued together at the last minute to ship something.
I'd be very interested to hear the dev story behind it if it ever comes out.

Video game Screenshot " thank you for playing on congratulations on completing Mind's Eye" along with additional text that explains that you can continue to play in Free roam mode

It's done.
I finished Mindseye.
Any questions on it?

I loved blue prince but after a month+ away from it I can't go back. My 12 pages of notes are the hieroglyphic scrawls of someone trying to summon Cthulhu.

I chose the same. I wanted a peaceful fantasy life, eventually went paladin because if I'm going to have to fight these crabs I might as well be leveling up.
Mining and blacksmith complement each other well for xp.
