man the new patch content feels like a horror game

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess

Just letting out a psyigh

new mormon pastime: gommaging your own dick while it's inside your lover and then painting it back in over and over

god i love the entire e33 dev team so much theyre just so cute and make me so happy with how much they love video games

probably gonna spend some time this weekend working on editing the verstave fic so i can finally get the first chapter posted

dying over this photo @flowerfxcker.bsky.social took where it looks like i'm pointedly versosplaining to fray as he sits dumbfounded

Flute guy having a different, bigger, type of flute every time they cut to him is genuinely one of the best things #TheGameAwards has done.

the polycule is a wreck, a coyote therian fucking vored our outdoor catboy

my favorite indie game

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

Ppl that genuinely get mad & annoyed at E33 getting those awards are funny to me. You have a small studio's first game with no day 1 DLCs, no microtransactions. Affordable price, AAA quality and... ... you get mad? There's a standard that could be set right now for the industry, and you're mad. LOL

i'm so jazzed about them implementing lumina loadouts lmao i've been bitching about that the whole time i've been playing

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 "Thank You" update out now, full patch notes Trailer -New playable environment -Brand new music tracks -Challenging boss battles within Endless Tower -Photo Mode -New text/UI game localizations -QoL/performance improvements including for PC handhelds (Deck verified)

Hell yeah, Final Fantasy Tactics--a nearly 30-year-old game--got an award in 2025. Not at all a dig. FFTactics forever.

Best Score & Music goes to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Lorien Testard)

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time

every single time a member of the e33 team comes onstage, remember that geoff only gave them two tickets and the team had to pay out of pocket from a public-facing ticket portal for everybody else lmfao

Damn, E33 suffering from success, everyone getting mad at their wins is kinda crazy. Their success isn't an indictment on the hard work of equally compelling and successful games in these categories, they just did what they did well. And I think that's pretty cool.

Look all jokes aside I think a game that retailed for $50 and had a reasonable, sustainable budget sweeping the awards is probably a good message to send to the industry, if it's even capable of listening.

Oh, you’re watching the Game Awards? Heh. I’m not watching that slop. I shall be instead refreshing a feed of posts from people who are all watching the Game Awards

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

don't claim it. doesn't matter that it's free. Don't.

One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 new update is live now

Accepting the 'Game of the Year' award for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, director Guillaume Broche thanks Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi who "made me fall in love with games and inspired me to become a game dev."

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I feel bad for the other games in the awards this year, but there’s just nothing to be done against the unstoppable force that is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, what a beautiful game and a well deserved sw33p

i made it worse (i made it better)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is GAME OF THE YEAR at The Game Awards

HIS FAVORITE GAME IS FFVIII. IF YOU WANT TO WIN GAME OF THE YEAR YOU SHOULD PLAY FFVIII.

expedition 33 stickers coming to otakuthon! ran out of time to do all the characters but hopefully will have time to complete the set soon

I 100% did not expect the govt to point at banks on behalf of the adult industry. We need to leverage the hell out of this Remember Mastercard and Visa blaming "banking partners"? If banks face repercussions their alibis could start crumbling as they get pinched between angry consumers and the feds

this is a very silly thing to split hairs over but it's such a pet peeve of mine when people refer to all invertebrates as "insects" myriapods for example are definitely not insects but you'll still see people referring to centipedes as insects and it bothers me so much aaaaa

RFK Jr. has thoughts about breastfeeding. I have thoughts about paid parental leave.

renoir* dessendre did nothing** wrong

If the fictional work someone makes is offensive or upsetting to you and is properly tagged/labelled, it is your responsibility to filter it, block it, scroll past it, and ignore it. It is not the responsibility of the creator to not make it. AND FURTHERMORE ->

You do not get to demand that the creator justify why they are allowed to create that work based on their own trauma, past experience, or life circumstances, NOR are you entitled to demand that they do not glorify "bad" things in their work.
