weiss has been indulged by every single figure of authority in her lifetime in her stupid bullshit so it just does not even occur to her that she might want to have a little bit of subtlety or covering your tracks when doing said stupid bullshit

sequel to Shadow of Destiny that tries to make it a christmas carol kind of thing but instead of learning any lessons about the meaning of the holiday eike just keeps getting hit by cars

the rec thread's officially got over 50 games in it so far! something for everybody, and it'll just keep getting bigger as the sale goes on!

Star Trek The Next Generation S14E10 - "A Question Of Taste" Riker finds out about 21st century "Epic Bacon" culture and becomes so insufferable it inadvertently uncovers an assassination conspiracy of a visiting dignitary. Worf gets into some Tom & Jerry shit with a miniaturized clone of himself.

This that shit where Darth Vader used to go to do that full-body hyperbaric weed.

I know it's been said before but no matter how rational I want to be, in my heart I still do believe killing mr peanut and bringing him back as a baby unlocked some kind of wretched demonic seal on human society

I fully missed this went up, but hey, I wrote a blurb about why Despelote is one of the best games this year for @theavclubgames.bsky.social! www.avclub.com/best-games-2...

one of my fave things about doing the game rec threads as long as i have is people are genuinely willing to give games a try that i admit upfront will be janky and busted at times, or can be mid but is enrapturing in other ways. really feels good to get people willing to try more out there stuff

the thing about chartfucker types is that while their bloodless 'we just care about the numbers' tone can sound reasonable and get people going 'why is everyone mad at them, idgi', once it gets to immigration, you get to see the actual horrors and inhumanity behind 'we just care about the numbers'

Just discovered the JP counterpart to the legendary Solstice box art......

late night reminder that the rec thread for this steam sale has started and it's already almost up 50 games in here! something for everybody!

hell yes. real god damn fighting games. featuring iconic matrix characters firebird and cop car. youtu.be/OiK40hj_E6E?...

hell fucking yes one of the best in the history of "not actually that good" games. sure it's kind of a mess. it's also a mess where i can keep jump kicking mall cops into the wall 30 feet away as jada pinkett smith in a red leather jacket. like i can do just that for an hour

oh hey i didn't see that 30 birds won this. hell yes. been reccing this one for a bit, the game truly is gorgeous.

circling an odd thought around hip-hop's connection with cartoons over the years not just through things like busta rhymes absolutely loving old looney tunes and tom & jerry but how you might end up getting stuff like hanna barbera sound effects for 'clean' versions of songs

Do you make weird monster photos? Need some atmospheric reference images for a horror game? Or do you want pieces that invoke a sense of isolation for your novel? Then this is the pack for you & at this price, they really are a steal.

I just started a mini-project this week using edits of these photopacks for a lot of the environmental art. Really great stuff, big recommendation to anyone.

Holy shit look at this beautiful game! The big lads are busy churning out the same thing with better graphics over and over and then firing half their workforce. But this whole thread is packed with wonderfully unique and beautiful games. I've wishlisted so many!

You really want these.

It's always worth checking out a Spacetwinks recommendations thread, we've got some overlap, but Colin's got the bases covered for a lot of neat looking indie games I haven't played myself.

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weird games, as big name titles don't need the help. so, onwards!

you know one of the other reasons i don't truck with the "it's people posting wrong that's fucking everything up and not seeing how things actually are" types is none of those fuckers ever talk about whatsapp and many may not even know what it is

uh - video uploading's busted at the moment, so lil break on the rec thread again. man, bad luck all over tonight.

The statistics around how many children lost a grandparent *who was also a caretaker* between 2020-2021 were fucking devastating. The kids are not alright! And yeah, your child care costs up when after school time with Nana isn’t an option because NANA IS DEAD.

it is 'funny' that the question of 'why does everybody feel different about the economy than the way these graphs should indicate' never seems to account for 'a pandemic exposing thousands of people to our ramshackle and hyper expensive healthcare system AND killing many partners, roommates, etc'

The city of Atlanta is a mathematically impossible structure where all points in space are always equally distant from each other. If you pick any 2 locations in Atlanta, they will always, regardless of perceived distance, be a 90 minute drive from each other.

hamster pricing the updated and streamlined version of the outfoxies at 17 bucks (or eighteen if you're upgrading from regular outfoxies) is. forget the "that seems like a bit of high price point", i'm just confused at what hamster has against pricing things at, like, 20 dollars. why 17 or 18

tbf the lesson from the brooks brothers riot and the SCOTUS ruling thereafter being 'who's gonna stop you?' was unfortunately the correct takeaway for pretty much our entire lives
