Im taking inventory of my stuff before I get it shipped to the new place and realizing that at some point in my life, I bought -two extra copies- of this dogwater anime adaptation just so I could reverse the covers of the first two and have all five characters lined up The fuck was wrong with me

Life is Strange: Double Exposure This is prob the 2nd best game in the series so far, which isn't saying a lot because I think the three below it are really bad for different reasons. But an interesting enough setup and brisk pacing kept me from being bored at least, even if the payoff wasn't great.

.: STRANGER OF PARADISE :.

Went to escape room for our anniversary, it was my first time! Archeology-themed setup that had a lot of lock solving and key handling. Unfortunately we ran out of time and died, but we had a good time. :)

Genuinely I think I link this post every 3 months at this point but I've been seeing random people talking about how with AAA in a bad state it's time for "the year of the indie" or whatever and: it's time for those people to read A Pivot To Indie Won't Save Us auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...

🎵Would you want to see Hypnospace Outlaw, live in concert?🎶 We're considering running a series of concerts featuring Jay Tholen, the Chowder Man and more Register your interest here: forms.gle/FyBheY4RWBxe...

Maybe this matters, maybe this doesn't, all I know is that if Playstation taking away discs was more boycott worthy than Microsoft enabling a genocide, you've got some soul searching to do

i love every single post saying they should remake ever crisis as an offline game. they should remake final fantasy vii again. we were all busy that weekend

I initially set the lifespan for this at "will last until FF7 Part 3 is out, then will trail off and EOS a while later", but Square couldn't even meet my low bar expectations. Dissidia Duellum's bell tolls...

just, amazing. the expectation that two nearly 15-year-old games have another billion in them if only she micromanages the fuck out of their teams. Absolutely beautiful

Its ultimately the same motif as Flower Man, but this version of it has been running 24/7 in my brain since Chapter 5 dropped for basically any mundane task im doing

blogged it aftermath.site/microsoft-xb...

wait did xbox really in their announcement they were laying off 3200 people really make a point to mention that they have a positive profit margin. they arent even losing money

"you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them""

Im glad I get to keep playing this series at no extra charge

Hasn't quite sunk in yet, but my bank account sure feels it

Nobody go see the new manions movie you'll make @schalaasha.bsky.social sad

Hades II I'd feel stronger about this if it took half the playtime it did to get to AN ending, as it as much as I like the setup and characters the story itself is stretched super thin and early roadblocks like Eris' debuff should have gotten reworked. Dunno if I'll bother with postgame.

Deltarune Ch5 A lot of the ideas and themes exclusive to this chapter fell flat for me, but It was still pretty fun to play and I dug the music. I hope the story picks up again in Ch6. Flowery.

I have no comment at this time.

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

Two of them #makeaterriblecomicday2026

Toy Story 5 Very much joins Toy Story 4 in the same "movies that exist for business reasons more than anything" bucket, but this one at least has more going for it with its themes, messaging and even art direction that at least gives it a bit artistic merit, if nothing else.

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

i don't want to give a talk at a game dev conference or write a manifesto or anything but if i did at this point in my career i think the topic would be "we all seriously need to start diversifying our inspirations"

41. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight This is a LEGO game, like every other LEGO game. But you can tell that they gave a damn about the IP, the jokes were great, and it's a nice foray into the different eras of Batman in general. I learned a lot!

Masters of the Universe (2026) Wish the movie made a few less self-aware quips at itself about how silly the whole thing is, but its otherwise a very fun watch with catchy music and decent spectacle. Getting a good performance out of Jared Leto (as a gay skeleton man) wasn't on my bingo card.

May have reinstalled Oxygen Not Included. 🫠

Using GenAI for temp assets and forgetting to remove them has become so commonplace that the only conclusion I can draw is that using GenAI dulls your ability to understand your own game. Using something as "temp assets" and then not removing it simply means they're not temp, period. Sorry!

My quest to play every Life is Strange game without paying a cent for them continues but also PLAY BLADES OF FIRE ITS GREAT

I think it's pretty funny that multi million dollar companies are asking a robot to help them come up with ideas for dinosaurs and cars

more people shouldve played strangers of paradise.

if someone tells you something is bad, you should be able to ask them why, and if they call you stupid for asking, that is frankly a skill issue on their part. why is the most important part!

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight It's still designed and structured like a modern open-world Lego game, but its probably one of the better ones they've made. Lots of love for the property, very excellently blends the different Batman medias together and doesn't overstay its welcome. Fun time!

007 First Light I really enjoyed this, even as someone who has never seen a Bond movie before! It straddles the line between linear story adventure (ala Uncharted) and IO's trademark Hitman sandbox zones so it doesn't feel like you're always following a script. Would gladly have more like this.

I was wondering what they meant about having an option for retro costumes for the characters in Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered, when the costumes are already the retro ones (but in HD). Turns out it's literally just the PS2 models from 2001.

40. 007 First Light Honestly I wanted to get this cuz it looked Uncharted-ish and I kind of missed those games. This was more of a combo of Hitman (and it did very well with that), Uncharted (very cinematic and well-directed), and some Watch Dogs/Splinter Cell. The tutorial cuts were fantastic.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve takes flight on PS5 Oct 2. Meet your squadron and the dangers that lurk in the skies above: play.st/4fnLLm8

The Wings of Theve trailer showing some stuff from AC7 kinda cementing it as a more direct sequel maybe? The Space Elevator and Arsenal Bird-like plane are one thing, but I immediately clocked that haircut from behind Can't wait to finally blow that elevator up

See, the difference between men and women is that women can doublejump. That's the power of wife
