Dom, Mother of Gamers

He has made three of the best games ever though.

Finished Death Stranding 2 today. Hideo Kojima is like a baby with a good eye for aesthetics, but his games are awful and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

Miss you babe

Which of these is closer to the kind of Zelda game you want?

Messenger bubble that says, "You know, sometimes I worry your poasting is unhealthy, but I think that, if you're self-aware enough, you can be self-destructive in meaningfully intentional ways that are ultimately healthy, like forcing yourself to watch the vampire diaries so that you can relate better to gen z women."

Message I sent to a friend.

You've actually completely changed my perspective with this. But I maintain that they could be way better.

I knowwww #Real

I only just played it but, if I had infinite resources to make the game of my dreams, it would essentially be a remake/reimagining of this.

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

If they stopped releasing new video games today, how long would it be until people ran out of games they were genuinely interested in playing? I feel like it would take me a decade, and that's assuming I could quit my job and spend all my time playing video games.

Paul saying, "I have one in my living room," before a cut to black has me laughing already.

Ubisoft workers are on strike: 'We are treated like children' The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

Death Stranding was the most impressive technical achievement I'd ever seen in a game back in 2020. I think it still is, but I'm curious to see how voters respond to it, as it only builds on the foundation of the first game.

I was actually wondering. I did not understand what you meant.

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

Do it through Fangamer I beg of you. At a pinch, Iam8bit. Just avoid LR like the plague.

Have you heard of / are you playing the new TF2 Classified mod? And what are your thoughts?

The Two Core Elements of Game Design From the perspective of an uninformed observer

I wrote about the principles of game design, a subject I'm well versed in yet wholly unqualified to talk about.
