Completed Herdling. It didn’t really grab me as much as some other smaller cozy vibe games, but I grew fond of my little herd of capricorns that I let pick their own names. Daya was indeed a little rascal, always getting things stuck in her fur.

Going from 20 to 30 bucks is just silly. Ultimate was the obvious pick because of cloud and PC and the relatively small price difference. None of that is now true anymore, I’m happy to switch to Essential and at this point only for the online play that I actually need.

Playing Space Marine 2 and I love how your commanding officer tells you “this mission is of vital importance, the survival of humankind depends on it” and then goes…

Just when I thought mobile ads couldn’t get any worse, my son started playing this tablet game that has playable ads WHILE a different clickable audio ad is playing on top. This happens about every three minutes, so he sees more of that than the actual game.

💯

They blamed the WiFi, but the real reason is so much more embarrassing. And funny.

technically Silksong boss nerfs are actually just bug fixes

"Fed into" is such an apt description for this kind of practice.

I am here for a Japan-based Forza Horizon 6 with Tokyo Drift vibes!

I can tell I'm getting old because putting up shelves and trimming the hedge constitutes a good weekend. Every time I look at them and see how level they are, I am content.

I know today is Silksong Day, but here I am refreshing the Xbox page for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle until I can buy The Order of Giants DLC.

Many design decisions on a large team boil down to "what's most consistent with the norms we've established elsewhere". Many design problems boil down to "these things contradict each other". Fun™ design problems are when you need to find the most harmonious way for contradictory things to coexist

Finally, after 5 sessions, with checkpoint resets and strategy refinements, my brothers in arms and I completed The Division’s Iron Horse raid on Discovery! It was magnificent, I will never forget this. It also got me to 100% Achievement completion on the game.

I’m not sure if I’m more interested in seeing more seed art or knowing what the other categories are.

My wife, who has maybe held a controller twice in her life, took my son’s Switch 2 joycon because he needed to eat something and proceeded to completely destroy me and the CPU players in like 3 Mario Party minigames in a row. This needs to be rectified when the kids are in bed.

100% this. Big games can definitely be made faster, but the big gains are in better direction, better production and better management, not faster content development.

So more than 6 years after us releasing The Division 2, I finally completed a raid. Dark Hours, on Discovery difficulty I admit, was a blast to play with a bunch of semi-random funny guys with God knows what builds. Now we’re trying to find a time to tackle Iron Horse together next!

My son turned 5 and is in the “big kids” daycare group now, where they for a kid’s birthday visit the kid’s house with the whole group. So tomorrow we have 25(!) 5-year-olds coming to our house for snacks and playing for 2 hours and my son’s excitement level is pretty much the inverse of mine. 😅

Meanwhile back in Holland: I don’t really drink beer, but now I’m tempted.

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

My 2-year old daughter just casually pointed out the biggest spider that has ever entered our home and while I scramble for things to catch it with she just starts singing the Danish version of “itsy bitsy spider” right next to it. She is so not like her mother. 😅

Making a roguelike is fun because you’ll get an email like “BUG: Game said there was an only a 1 in 5 chance of something bad happening and it happened. Please fix”

It’s here! Can’t wait to play Mario Kart with my son (and some Zelda by myself).

Finally finished The Last of Us - Part 2. What a ride, that was a lot of game. Apart from the fact that this could've easily been two games, I'm not as sour on it as recent public opinion. We'll see if that's also the case for season 2 of the show, which I'll start right after wrapping up Andor.

What the...

I picked up blueberry (big in Finland) flavored Moomin coffee in Helsinki a month ago and it was so good that I ordered all the other flavors they have: salted caramel, chocolate, hazelnut and, of course, salty licorice. I was surprised how much flavor came from the coffee itself, not using syrup.

Disgusting

Excellent house warming party at @rawpowergames.bsky.social today, featuring medieval boy band Pøbel!

There’s a new season of Somebody Feed Phil! This show just puts a smile on my face every time and that the first new episode is in Amsterdam is just the cherry on top.

Here's a great video with my friends and colleagues talking about the vision for the recently announced Chronicles: Medieval we're making over at Raw Power Games!

Back from a great wedding anniversary weekend in Helsinki! 🇫🇮 First city trip without the kids, who were having a great time with my family in law while my wife and I visited the sights, shopped a bit, had good food (loved the reindeer & smoked cheese soup), met up with friends and tried to sleep in.

Forge your destiny, and rewrite history - welcome to Chronicles: Medieval. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/2231020 Trailer narrated by award-winning actor Tom Hardy, with music by The Witcher composer Adam Skorupa. Forged by Raw Power Games written by you! youtu.be/aLHd_oyLQQk?...

As just shown during Summer Game Fest, Chronicles: Medieval is the game we’re bringing to life at Raw Power Games. Proud moment for me, the team and the studio!

My kids got me this Red Bull LEGO F1 car for Father’s Day (today in Denmark) so I will be building this with my son soon. He couldn’t wait to put the smaller Sauber together.

Any place with Andy in it is a good place to be in.

Completed Act 2 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I’ve gone from “this game is amazing” to “this game is phenomenal”. The cohesiveness of vision in art, gameplay and narrative is overwhelmingly good.

👀

Not amazing?

For me writing is thinking; me actively processing and understanding the world. So I struggle when an AI asks to write something for me. Like asking a robot to exercise for you. I'm sure we'd get some very buff robots, but that's not the point? Withered bodies and brains watching machines dance.

I'm halfway through season 2 of Halo the TV show and when it's like Halo the video games (like the Reach episode), it's actually pretty good. I get why it got cancelled, but I wouldn't mind more of what season 2 is offering. Best thing is still how badass they made Spartans look.

Loving Estonia's Espresso Macchiato and Sweden's Bara Bada Bastu, but I will never not be this guy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfSx...

It’s frustrating that the Clair Obscur team has been nothing but open about “we’re not just 33 people, we have hundreds of contractors” and a budget in the tens of millions (as should be obvious from playing it) and yet people are angry at them instead of the folks who pushed the “small team!” story

I do not care about the size of Clair Obscur's development team nor do I care whether or not the CEO of Sandfall Interactive asked their dad for money. So long as everybody who contributed to the game is compensated and credited, and the financier didn't interfere with the team's vision, go off.

Apart from the "and it all came together beautifully", none of this is remarkable and these statements are missing important nuance. But still, yes, I would love a NoClip style documentary on this studio and project and watch some of my former colleagues passionately talk about this achievement.

We’re on a family trip for the long weekend around Rødby and today we found Thomas Dambo troll #82, Frie Vilje.

Share your last four played games to expose your gaming habits. Pretty mixed bag here as well. 😅

Guess I'm going to have to put Blue Prince on pause for a bit.
