Watching the hours tick down on the Industria 2 steam page

Oh no #art #fanart #pragmata #プラグマタ #capcom

Managed to finish Pragmata just in time for Industria 2 tomorrow and Saros on Thursday

Raw hype? Leon Doomguy and Master Chief aren't bad picks either, but RE rep feels more likely Maybe Kiryu from Yakuza?

Still can't believe this is finally happening Looks like we're gonna be on a colony this time? Love it

Watching the new Folding Ideas on Mr. Beast that just went up and I really appreciate getting a follow up focused on how comically terrible the basic game design of Beast Games is

You can find the campaign at launchgood.com/1948 where Rasheed will have to figure out how to promote a Palestinian-made game about Palestinian history, all while his people face genocide and apartheid. Palestinians are not even allowed to ask the world if it wants to hear their story.

Even if you follow me, you likely can't see my last repost: a Palestinian gamedev working on the lovely Dreams on a Pillow launched a promised follow-up crowdfunding campaign. But @moderation.bsky.app labeled him spam for daring to be Palestinian, so you can't see reposts, repost him, or tag him.

Bluesky has flagged Rasheed Abueideh's entire account as spam for crowdfunding Dreams on a Pillow, a game about the Nakba Hey @moderation.bsky.app @support.bsky.team, this is not spam. Fix it

Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.com is announcing the promised second crowdfunding campaign for his beautiful Dreams on a Pillow - but @safety.bsky.app has decided you can't know about it and marked his entire account as spam. Another obstacle in him just telling his story via games.

I'm enjoying our recent short form videos, which tell stories using materials in our library. We're teaching people how to do real research and how to think critically about history. I genuinely think the best way to improve the world is to focus on what you do best and keep doing it, loudly.

Happy birthday to me

we all know I have no life, so:

Pragmata is rapidly becoming one of my favorite combat systems ever Having to constantly and quickly adapt to new hacking boards does a lot to keep encounters with even basic enemies feeling fresh, and on top of that it's doing a really good job adding new twists at a great pace

The thing is I don't really need an extraction shooter in my life If I wanted to be miserable while playing Marathon I could just play Colony Ship for Sale Cheap

Managed to resist voting for Half-Life in every category. Narrative really could have gone either way so I figured I might as well give the nod to something else And it turns out I actually haven't played that many multiplayer things from '98 so HL kinda got that one by default

Shoutout to whoever outside is listening to Evanescence at full blast in the rain at 11 at night. Hell of a vibe

They better fucking renew The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins

Mayor Mamdani in that screenshot looking like he wants us to bring him pages (I will absolutely drop everything to bring Mayor Mamdani whichever color pages he needs from us)

Right from the start Metro has been one of the absolute best narrative FPS series out there, and it doesn't look like they're pulling any punches with 2039

Vermis 3 and Godhusk showed up way sooner than I expected! Last time I checked the tracking they were still in Italy

I am fully of the opinion that when a corporation tries to delete a work of art from existence, it is a moral imperative to keep it in circulation. As an aside, there's collections of just about every delisted game on the internet archive.

Sony announces Bloodborne is getting a 24fps update.

20-odd years ago lists like this were trying to convince me that Ocarina of Time was the greatest game ever made and that isn't even the best Zelda on the N64

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

It's a weirdly specific energy but Dark City might be the most "late 90s point and click adventure game" movie I've ever seen Like I'm wishing it had gotten a Blade Runner-esque tie-in/adaption just so I could spend some more time in that world

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

Quantum Break is my favorite time travel story, told with all the style, charm, and seemingly endless layers to peel back you'd expect from Remedy. And it's a damn fun guns-and-superpowers game on top Even ten years on, "I'll come back for you"

You can actually order standardized samples of omelas kid tissue from NIST, if you need it for research purposes or just to calibrate your morally flawed utopia.

This is one of the more frustrating things about live games, among many — they’ve recalibrated player expectations toward an endless drip feed such that a complete, kickass, regular game gets incorrect or even toxic feedback. Not every game is meant to be your job!

I'm not very keyed in to fighting games but I've been watching some folks play/talk about the Avatar fighter and I'm getting pretty hyped Not only do people seem to be having a lot of fun with it, but it looks like the devs really understand the material. This could be the real deal

Seeing GOG credited on a Steam release is both really funny and actually kinda cool. I wonder if they're getting a cut from these sales Either way putting additional DRM on these is fucking silly. Just get them on GOG directly

I have never clicked buy on a bundle faster

Today is a difficult day for the joke.

I have given way too much thought to how I'd reboot Condemned if I somehow ever got the chance

When the series ended, a lot of people were mad at the last book; Applegate responded with a letter that went *incredbly* hard, that showcased the respect she had for her readers. It follows, below, in full.

This series was a joy to follow last year and it'll be a joy to rewatch again (for the third or fourth time) The Riven segment in particular manages to perfectly sum up what makes Riven a masterpiece in a way I wouldn't have thought you could do in only a minute

Happy 20th to Oblivion youtu.be/N6hVmn9FM7o?...

I'm a few hours into the Fatal Frame 2 remake now and there's a lot to like! Tone and style is probably the most on point the series has been since the PS2 But a lot of the new mechanics haven't quite justified themselves to me yet. *Especially* the Aggravated Ghosts

It bears repeating: Every store that said that Horses is too extreme for them to sell is lying. Blatantly. There's nothing in the game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated movie. And it's FAR milder than COUNTLESS titles on Steam right now. But it's easier than admitting a smear campaign worked

There should have been a real Street Fighter: The Movie: The game style tie-in for this We missed out on super crunchy digitized sprites of Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo jumping through dystopic urban sprawl

I genuinely love Morrowind and its eccentricities But you start to understand a lot of the choices Oblivion/Skyrim made after you spend over an hour hiking out into the middle of nowhere trying to find a random cave for a Fighters Guild job, only to discover you're about 12 levels below the target

Circling back on this thought: If you like nu-Marathon's aesthetics, you've got Cicadamata. If you like old Marathon's combat & prose, you've got Supplice and Marathon mods like Apotheosis X. (SO GOOD) But if you like the GAMEPLAY of nu-Marathon, this is the closest thing in single-player format.

The Fatal Frame 2 remake demo was both pleasantly surprising and comfortably whelming I'm not sure it matches *all* the strengths of the original. But it seems like a definite improvement over 4 and 5 in some very important ways and that's cleared up some of my biggest concerns going in

Wait there's a demo for the Fatal Frame 2 remake out? Ah fuck. I'm nervous

I get the feeling there are probably a lot of fans of things like Blue Prince, Outer Wilds, or even The Witness out there who haven't played Myst yet They really, really should

I think part of my soul just healed
