You know, I didn’t dig 3make but I really liked the zombie spot-dodging and wish they’d do that again?

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

Weird so you didn’t make yourself look like Lex Luthor by coincidence?

One reason I think Soulslikes are catnip to some and anathema to others is they evoke the same feelings of survival horror and eventually become power fantasies. If you’re deep into one or the other, you will find that dynamic uncomfortable in a bad way.

The purpose of this website is to help unburden your brain by releasing horrible sentences that live in there like demons

Hello, a small heads up for people who will see me at GDC (you can ignore if you won’t): I may still be walking with a cane. I am okay. I can walk without it, but GDC is a lot of walking, so it’s better to have it and not need it etc.

You do not need to worry if you see me with one.

If they waited until the Switch I think that game would have taken off better.

Assassin’s Creed and the aliens don’t count. That shit’s stupid.

Western games don’t have enough β€œwhat if historical war plus demons” games.

I have seen so many games that post that Nobunaga Oda was leading a demon army that I am no longer sure he wasn’t. Maybe everyone’s on to something, I dunno!

Where’s our Louis the XIII but demons game?

One thing I can see other games taking from Nioh 3 is the ability to just switch to another build on a shoulder button press.

I was a doubter but the new PokΓ©mon’s graphics look photorealistic.

What about the problematic chapter

I think people would have been fine with the former but when it was clear Sony wasn’t doing that, they assumed it was because they were remaking it. I get the logic. Bloodborne would have been as old as as Demon’s Souls was when it got its remake by the time the PS6 comes out.

Here’s the thing

I just want to play multiplayer games with people I can talk about my day with

I don’t want to compete over anything

I am too old to compete

Let’s instead talk about how cold it has been while fighting a boss

One thing that's true in most enthusiast communities but -especially- in gaming is that you have to show how much more hardcore you are than the other person, and one way you do that is by being an insane person.

Nope, still not going to get back into OW.

I have no idea why FROM said not to the Bloodborne pitch, but I will say Bloodborne is a game very defined by its details and imagery, and Bluepoint as a remake studio is not particularly constrained by those intentions.

If those were my intentions to begin with, I'd feel some ways about it.

I am working on a review right now and have decided my personal review scale in 2026 is going to be "Does this game have more ideas than MindsEye"
