From our awards show three months ago. Congrats to Xbox!

OK so I fucked something up in the conversion, and was finally able to fix it on my end. Here's it is in its 4:3 glory.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

I have made the news again

I am unreasonably excited for the sequel to a game I rated a 7/10. I am hopin they learned some lessons of the few shortcomings of Honjo and make an even better sequel but the trailer is very solid www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Xf...

This is the coolest way to say “yeah I filed my taxes online with my phone this year” And granted, we already knew Tetsuo Hara is the coolest mf alive

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Very cool that this guy and that other publishing fellow have gone completely nuts. This is what poasting does if you don't ground yourself. These people need to have their accounts deleted

Any repository on GitHub that adds this bot needs to be branded and shamed. This is a placebo that automagically reduces your issue numbers but in reality you're LITERALLY sweeping everything under the rug. Makes it so much harder to find similar issues and just creating a massive amount of noise

Tried Arknight Endfields cause I love factory games. 2 hours in and I've built exactly 5 pylons and connected them, had to endure horrendous dialog, bland combat and some nonsense story introductions. I've not built a single production chain. I think this isn't for me

Done with the Clues by Sam puzzle pack 2. I had complaints about the first packs's inconsistent difficulty curve and general lack of real difficulty. No such complaints with pack 2. Evil was genuinely evil in a way I was not expecting. Puzzles took me 20+ minutes each cluesbysam.com/s/packs.html

Wow I'm at S1 of Taskmaster and the gap in quality between S1 and S2 is unbelievable. Not that S1 is bad or anything mind you but after seeing the formula be so perfect for almost every series after the second one, it's a bit of a shock how rough the editing and the pacing of this one is

Watching Taskmaster in (mostly) reverse order from the last season to the first and aside from being a wonderful show, it's insane how little the show has needed to evolve. Came out of Alex's head almost perfectly formed

The new trakt update seems to now be redirecting trakt dot tv to the default "new experience" instead of the old dashboard and the complete destruction of the web continues. The maintainers refuse to take feedback, refuse to make improvements, have raised prices, and imposed limits on free users

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

I'd only used slack for most of my software engineering career and I'd always heard horror stories about Teams. Naively I thought "how bad could Teams really be". I now report as a user of Teams that it is a vile, barely functional piece of complete shit

I pay a pretty penny for Fastmail but it is well worth it to not have to deal with the trash fire that is gmail www.theverge.com/news/857883/...

Beatrice and Erika Umineko at the Phillies game

And here comes the new point-and-click project I'm working on. Do you like Speculative Evolution or a similar world-building project based on alien life? Do you like a game where information about the world plays a significant role in the puzzle clue? This might interest you.

deleting a white supremacist dating site live onstage while dressed as the pink power ranger has got to be one of the most cathartic hacker experiences

I don't talk about it much but every year when JADSEYA comes around I appreciate being a small part of this community so goddamn much. This was one of the best years for streams and I LOVED watching/reading Umineko. Also got me into VNs which has been a highlight of the year

Happy New Year

First time I'm playing JEdi Survivor after enjoying Fallen Order quite a bit. One thing I genuinely don't understand is why these games feel so jank like they're held together by duct tape. It's largely running at a smooth 60 for me after capping it and it still feels like it's choking and gasping

Pandorum. My answer to this is always Pandorum

God I know people find this site slightly annoying or whatever but this is the pinnacle of social media to me. This whole feed is running on someone's CPU serving thousands of users in a decentralised manner. Absolutely lovely. Thank you space cowboy

1. Landed myself a much more stable job than I'd had 2. This new job requires leading a team in a greenfield project that required a fair bit of selling within the company 3. Read a bunch of excellent stories that I'll never forget in my life 4. Ran my first 10k 5. Started therapy for anxiety

Played The Silver Case. Really liked the aesthetics and style but the narrative was a mess and a severe let down as was the brief smattering of "gameplay". Very rough product of the times and very weird but still captivating because of how stylish it is

Thinking about the show Dark... what a masterpiece

Made the mistake of going to /r/television and finding out they are a bunch of absolute morons who praise Slow Horses and think nothing happened in Pluribus. Bunch of twat waffles if you ask me. No taste at all. Washed

I would love more seasons but S1 of Pluribus was perfect. No notes. This show could end here and I'd be incredibly happy.

Finished The Séance of Blake Manor. Pretty good open world adventure mystery thriller that's pulling some inspirations from Obra Dinn and Paradise Killer in terms of sleuthing. Steeped in Irish folklore and myth with a huge cast of reasonably compelling characters that nails the ending

Nothing cures a cold and headache quite like an entire playlist of a season of Taskmaster

RLM putting out a video titled "AI Slop" explicitly saying AI should stay out of entertainment and the Larian morons getting ridiculous amounts of pushback for not having a PR team or sense... the world is slowly righting itself methinks

Finished Indika. An absurdist black comedy game with some light puzzle elements that's mostly about the conflict of a girl and her struggles with herself. Very cinematic, very compelling, very short. The light puzzle elements sometimes got in the way of the story which was a shame

Watched One Battle After Another. A deeply personal film wrapped in a very unique setting oozing with black comedy. Gorgeously shot

GREAT movie. Lot of really good emotional scenes revolving around faith. I think the formula has been firmly established with Benoit Blanc acting as the side character to a well rounded and incredible cast with the mystery as a rider for social commentary and musings on the human condition

nw

I'm going to stop holding back. Every episode of Pluribus is a fucking TREAT. I love this show

Clair Obscur: Expedition Good Boy

Looking forward to 8 hours later when I get to watch the Game Awards (cause of work) and finding out what people were mad/elated about 8 hours ago

Now that we're on the new site I might as well repost all the rat Erikas I made last year.

Finished Ghost Trick. Not perfect but still a really fun puzzle adventure. Story has some cool moments and the ending was great even if it's quite a bit messy. Such a gorgeous game though. Love the art style. Music is superb too

here’s a simulation of being in my head right now if you’re curious. living with anxiety rocks
