It be like this sometimes.

An interesting read. MMOs often land a critical hit for their fans and then they attempt to recreate that.

The last line really resonated with me for all games: “I don’t need my favorites to be the best.” Many of my favorite games were not AAA successes or mainstream juggernauts. And that’s okay.

As video games evolved alongside the internet, new pathways were opened for us to find and connect with others. Connections in the chaos of life, making us feel less isolated, and able to share in our victories. Some of my greatest friendships are those I have fostered with through video games. 🎮🙌

Chet the Chicken Chaser. Wearing tattered overalls covered in dirt with bits of straw and other grime, Chet runs around trying to gather the area’s escaped chickens. People give him flak for it but Chet loves his noble profession.

The mirage dragon is an initiative role on sight. The narcissism of the world embodied into a creature.

From the article: "It's time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people," the unions wrote in a joint statement. "Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has done.” 👏👏💯

Next time, substitute whacky terms for the spicy terms. Like Rodger Rabbit style.

Age verification?

I remember the Sega Dreamcast launch day.

Winter Fantasy 50 was tons of fun. 10/10 would recommend. @baldmangames.bsky.social did a great job!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords (2004, PC version 2005)

Nostalgia straight to the brain. 🎵

What’s the best selling issue of Game Informer Magazine?

I know the world is scary and depressing right now.

But don't forget to protect your peace. Video games help me recharge and escape when I feel overwhelmed, and sometimes we need that. We're all human.

It's good to fight back, but you can't fight as hard if your mind is heavy. Take care of it too.

I have said this before about other studios doing layoffs but I feel for the creative people being axed amidst the studios scramble to stay afloat. The leadership team’s resignation is a major red flag too. I guess the Kickstarter business model was not as sustainable as they thought.

Ah, ok. I made an assumption. My mistake. I’ll still maintain there is some animosity there since he is telling people how they should feel about a video game, but I am not sure why if he didn’t help make it.

Life knows how to kick us in the gut, lately.

Grifting. Grifting never changes.

This just illustrates he has personal animosity towards the memories of developing that game. Like someone hating a song or a restaurant most people love because their ex loved both of those things.

Another set done! With this addition, we now have every physical issue from the main run of Official Xbox Magazine.

This was much harder to complete than we expected. We've got a story for you... 🧵

The last movie they do will involve NOS charged walkers.

Vehemently

Try saying that when you’re pissed and you will say it even more vehemently.

The Sims. As long as someone doesn’t delete the pool’s ladder while I’m in it.

The amount of debt (medical, housing, etc.) that money could have erased. Or government assistance funding for a large city (or cities) for decades.
