Hey, I realised while watching these showcases that I'd love to just... have a group of friends to talk about this stuff with and maybe play games with Feels odd to reach out and try meet people this way, but it is social media, so if any mutuals are open to a new person joining that'd be so nice!

Thanks everyone 😊 decided to go for it!

I read somewhere that Mina The Hollower doesn't have a map? Is that really frustrating? Trying to decide wether to pick it up or not! 😊

i need a shirt that says "I hate this but not for reactionary reasons"

Exciting morning for @onemorecatch.site - the first commissioned freelance piece! @sarahathwaites.bsky.social and @oloman.bsky.social were among the first in the world to experience Pokémon Go's phone-raising Unity Raids at Go Fest: Tokyo. Here's their report on how it went down:

Hey, remember this? Well, for entirely different reasons than last time, it's happening. I'm looking for any of the work below, and frankly anything else.

Some really great looking stuff coming this year (looking at you Control) but i'm not sure if i'm gonna connect with anything stronger than I have with Zero Parades. Love to be surprised though.

Pretty deflating to see the Tomb Raider remake admit it's used AI during development. Yes, they say it was only used during the early stages and any AI assets have since been "replaced or refined by humans" but that doesn't automatically make it okay AND immediately makes me distrustful

Can't stop thinking about Control Resonant, obviously, but Marvel Tokon is probably one of my more anticipated games? Quite surprised really. Not a fighting game person at all but it looks so cool!

Torn between wanting to pitch reviewing Control Resonant and wanting to play it slow and at my pace. How do people find the experience of reviewing games in series you love affects your enjoyment of it all?

Achievements are a silly way to engage with an art form, but denying them to people who choose/need to use accessibility options is, by definition, antithetical to the concept of accessibility. "They're meaningless anyway", yes! So why would it bother you if someone can get them or not?

Not sure I can do 10-15 of the cube talking to me, man.

Is that jack quaid as the annoying cube?

Look man, I don't care, no need to show more. (x) hours of Deborah Ann Woll wrecking shit in the GoW universe? Let's go.

I need Control Resonant soooo badly.

Oh my fucking god its Knight Rider??

Can't figure out why, but hearing community formed genre names (soulslike, here) from presenters in this way feels weird.

Dinosaur survival horror? Yesssss please

I don't know how much Wolverine is doing for me - but Tokon fighters looks really cool, might become a fighting game guy.

Heya folks, I am really excited that for the first time ever @startmenu.bsky.social will have a writer representing us at SGF. Brandon is lovely and I am trying to get him in contact with as many cool folks as possible. If you are happy to say hi to him let me know!

I have no horse in this race but... have they reshot stuff super recently? Because they definitely said that the new "endgame" footage would be crucial right?

Watched Shin Godzilla for the first time and did not like it very much - really dissapointed honestly!

If I didn't have a steam deck and a hacked 3DS I'd be really into this thing. It looks so cool!!

My big Titanium Court piece on the game's (mis)use of theatrical frameworks of storytelling is now free for everyone to read over on my blog. Please give it a read and even though you don't have to anymore, consider sending me a tip on ko-fi if you like it willarowe.bearblog.dev/titanium-cou...

If Square want to release a standalone Queen's Blood game so I don't have to play Rebirth to enjoy it that would rule so hard!

The final FF7 Remake trilogy part is probably getting announced soon. And I am excited, but I didn't like Rebirth much (queen's blood excluded) so I really hope its different to all that!

It's pride month. You should support small time videogame criticism from the margins, especially if said website is ran by a trans woman. Ahem, anyways, please consider donating or subscribing to Stop Caring www.stopcar.ing#/portal/supp... www.stopcar.ing

Zero Parades has got me in a real spot. Its becoming increasingly clear that there's no moral choice to make - someone has to get hurt to move forward - which is gonna suck! The game does an amazing job of pulling you through this world and making sure pieces of it stick as they go by.

Please sign up to this and share it so I can avoid building a presence on any more social media platforms.

I think the beauty of this game is that like Hitman, it's at its best when it all falls apart and you have to adapt.

Umm, probably Bloodborne? I can beat it in 7 ish hours so I do it a couple times a year 😅

Zero Parades has such a potent "hell yeah to god dammit" pipeline. Just rolled a double 6 for an event, then immediately failed the following, just as important check. What a game.

The point isn't "if you care about this, why don't you care about everything?" That's how you make sure nobody ever does anything. Movements need priorities and targets. BDS is not a personal purity test. It's a strategic campaign created by Palestinian organizers to focus pressure.

Some news - I’ve joined the Nintendo Life team as Acting Deputy Editor! I'm covering for Alana while she's out on maternity leave, and looking forward to helping out across the site over the year ahead (including tinkering away at guides as always 😍)

Just work on your backlogs and play indies if you're lagging behind. Abandon FOMO. Current-gen is premium now if you didn't hop on it early.

Huh. I mean, that's cool as hell? 2027 feels quite a ways off but it is also June next week so who knows anymore!

Caves of Qud mentioned!

Do you have a site that's not at SGF next week or underrepresented? Let's talk about getting something on your site from the show

The boy and I had a garden shoot!

Cannot 👏 emphasize 👏 this 👏 enough

Not to openly love something on main or anything, but I'm really enjoying Zero Parades. It's super engrossing!

It’s another hot one and if you have the space to leave water out for wildlife it can really make a difference, adding some stones to give spaces for insects to land is a massive bonus as well.

New favourite local burger place discovered!!

Weird little bug thing - Zero Parades counts Steam Deck playtime even when in sleep mode? My save says 6 hours playtime after leaving it in sleep mode while out for the evening!
