Really struggling with Hades 2. On the one hand itโ€™s a beautifully made and genuinely fun to play videogame. On the other hand I resolved long ago to never trust anyone who spells it โ€œMagick.โ€

Save 90% on Old World on Steam Old World is a revolutionary new historical strategy game where you lead your dynasty over generations of rule against rival kings and queens. Wage massive wars, manage your court, and build a dynasty...

Old World for $4, one of the best 4X strategy games you can play. Absolutely insane deal.

[BULL DURHAM] The plot is satisfyingly worked out. But what you keep reacting to is the film's exuberant doodlesโ€”its baroque folk humor, and it's visual details, like the baseball card that Annie uses as a bookmark. (1988)

This is so fucking funny man they could have maybe, almost stolen a move on Sony by dropping or maintaining the price point and taking the probably rather small-at-microsoft-scale loss but lol, lmao.

I am cited on an article for the concept of a Hellscape which I think is very on-brand

I've been putting it off for years but the desire to buy a cheap FDM 3D printer for low-poly models is increasing basically weekly now.

Good year for IgNobels. Especially the peace prize:
"PEACE PRIZE [THE NETHERLANDS, UK, GERMANY]

Yeah using game size as correlation is why I call this "interesting!" rather than "super useful insight!!"

There are definitely indies whose install size would be huge except their programmer is a PhD wizard type.
