A question for those of you that know or are learning how to draw; are there any exercises you'd recommend for learning how to actually do something as basic as drawing a line, a curve and an ellipse? #art #drawing #learntodraw

Started playing stellar blade. My initial impressions are mixed. Narratively there's nothing going on. The characters are barely characters and there's no reason for me to care about anything. Maybe it just takes a while to get started but I'm like, three and half hours in a this point

Reflectrial rufo was a pain in the ass, but I got her. Really not looking forward to ricardo. #limbuscompany

Just watched the movie Resurrection. I'm going to have to sit and think on it for a bit but my overall first impressions are just goddamn, what a great movie.

Just finished playing through the citadel. Great game, I just wish it wasn't prone to crashing as often as it did. Still, bugs aside it's a really fun shooter

This site has its problems, but I love scrolling down my feed and seeing devs posting the sickest shit imaginable from the games they're working on. I mean look at this and tell me this isn't something to look forward to. This is the reason my steam wishlist has exploded over the last year

Just played a round of dead by daylight where all of the generators popped instantly. I'm talking like, 10 seconds into the match. What's the point of cheating like that? What are you even getting out of the game at that point?

I can't limit it to just one so I'll throw out a few of my favorites; FF14, Guilty Gear Strive, Madworld, Anarchy Reigns, Let it Die and Limbus Company

I love how fused reanimated has been received as THE standout song from Romeo is a dead man. The entire soundtrack is great, but holy shit that song is something else. It's fantastic.

I've been playing through romeo is a dead man and holy shit, it took hours but I made it through the labyrinth

Looking at highguard right now and thinking "You know, some of those guns were pretty cool, and were really well animated. Shame they'll never be seen again." Best case scenario, they pull a paragon and release the game's assets for free.

Have there been any new boomer shooters that try to capture the spirit of painkiller? I've been playing it again recently and it has such a unique feel to it. I want to play more games like it but as far as I've seen there aren't any.

I made the mistake of looking up reviews for MFKZ to see how it was received. I'm not normally one to dog on reviewers but it's amazing how many of them missed the point.

Just watched the movie MFKZ. I don't know how it was received when it came out but holy shit does it feel more relevant now than ever. Also, it's just good. Seriously. Go watch it.

You ever start playing a game and immediately think "Oh no, this is crack. It's going to take over my life." That's how I'm feeling right now about the crystal project.

It's been pretty wild seeing almost nothing but good news today.

I finished Daemon X Machina. That was a bad game. Like, shockingly bad. I really wanted to like it but nope, that game is a shitshow.

Played through ghost of tsushima. That is a 6/10 game if I've ever seen one. It's very thoroughly average in almost all respects, but gets an extra point for having gorgeous environments.

One of Astlibra Revision's big boss songs can only be described as "What if linkin park worked on a song with hatsune miku" Its as weird as it sounds and it fucking rules youtu.be/749Zvz5Jyks?...

I grabbed astlibra revision during steam's summer sale. I figured I'd like it but I didn't expect to get so hooked on it that I'd ignore everything else I bought to no life it. I just got the true ending and I have to say, that game is a 10/10

Picked up angel's gear during the steam summer sale and holy shit that game starts strong. It opens with some cool lore straight into the storming of normandy, then the moon explodes and a dragon crashes into the earth and starts nuking the battlefield. store.steampowered.com/app/2241560/...

Just found out that instead of doing the good thing and remaking the art assets by hand, the front mission 3 remake is just chock full of AI generated images that were made to look vaguely like the original images. Fuck that game forever and fuck square enix for green lighting this.

You know, I liked the first splitgate, and I was looking forward to the second, but uh...nah, not anymore. The game's CEO and PR guy have been working overtime to try and show why you should never touch their game.

Man, I fucking love pixel art. This looks so good.

So how about that new limbus canto?

Started ace combat 3 afterwards and what the fuck even is that game. To start, the american release was massively butchered. The japanese version of the game has animated FMV cutscenes along with full voice acting, all of which was removed from the american release

Finished ace combat 2. What a step up from the first game. I wasn't a huge fan of the gimmick missions (the ravine and "attack a ground target with machine guns" missions in particular) but over all, it was a really good evolution of what made the first one fun.

Ace Combat 2 has a pseudo-achievement system where you can get medals for shooting down specific planes during your missions. I shot down one called the "Hangman" and goddamn if it doesn't have the coolest medal ever

Finished air combat and wow, they really did just figure out their loop in that first game for better and for worse. Those ravine missions are terrible and they stay terrible forever, across the entire franchise. The rest of the game rules though.

I started replaying air combat on a whim today and I have to say, it's amazing how little those games have changed over the years. They absolutely nailed the gameplay loop on their first go and have just been refining it since then.

Damn, Devil summoner's getting a remaster. I wasn't expecting that, but fuck yeah, that game was great. Here's hoping the second gets one too

I had never gotten around to playing majora's mask so on a whim I decided to fix that. I've got a real hot take here; Majora's mask... ... Is pretty good. Shocker I know.

I'm going to say this. If you think video games on a whole are simply toys, you're just wrong. Just straight up wrong. And your opinion on games is not worth while.

I saw some discussion about bioshock infinite a bit ago and that reminded me; man, I fucking hate that game, and I especially hate that it's so well regarded by people who don't think about its plot for longer than five seconds.

I'm looking up recipes for christmas dinner and for the love of god can we please settle on grams as the universal unit of measurement for recipes? Seriously, what in the fuck is half a cup of butter? Who the fuck measures butter in a cup? Why do I have to do these conversions?

I was checking out games in steam's winter sale and there was one I was eyeing that had a couple of negative reviews from people saying it was abandoned. I checked out the game's forum and saw someone asking if that was the case. The dev responded saying that no, the game was just finished.

I found a private server for atlantica online and I've been poking at that for a bit now. That game is something else. On the one hand, it's the progenitor of all the biggest problems in the game industry nowadays. It had predatory mechanics out the ass, I'm talking p2w lootboxes, p2w skins and-

My internet is out while my isp does work in my area so I thought, "Hey I may as well take this time to give HZD its billionth try. Maybe I won't be bored to tears this time and I'll find out why people like it so much." I load the game up and what do you know-

Figured I'd toss this question out into the void; Does anyone know any good recipes for a non-buttercream cake frosting? I'm looking for something that'll go well on a tres leche cake but pretty much everything I've tried has come out sub par. #baking #cooking

Slight spoilers for the game Sorry We're Closed; Dream eater (the song from the game's trailer) is by far the best song in the game's (excellent) soundtrack. Imagine my surprise then when I looked up the sound track and saw that there's a second version of the song that can play if-

This isn't the first time I've seen the idea of human tech getting into the hands of celestial beings and the result making life worse for everyone. The Secret World did it with humans selling guns to angels, but goddamn it's such a fun concept every time.

I've been playing Sorry We're Closed, and it's been pretty great so far. The gameplay is a little rough but overall pretty decent, the world is fascinating and writing has been compelling. I have also run into what I'm certain is the most important character in the game. Look at this little guy!

Spent a good while today poking at a few different survival horror games and you know, it was really weird when the game industry collectively decided that survival horror was a dead genre. While I disagree with it, I can understand execs saying single player games are dead-

I don't know what the exact threshold is but there's a limit to the number of proper nouns I can tolerate in the opening sequence of a piece of media before I just completely lose interest and that threshold is a lot lower if its fantasy media.

One last bit of limbus company lore I wanted to talk about, since I don't see too many people talking about it (there are no spoilers for canto 7 here, this is just talking about bloodfiend lore in general), is the bloodfiend's aversion to water.

I stayed up till 5 am to beat the canto 7 in limbus company and man, I have some mixed feelings but on the whole I'd say it was pretty good!

I've been playing through the first ape escape, a game that I haven't played since I was a child, and while it has its jank, that game holds up pretty well. That said, one thing that caught me off guard about it is that it has one of the earliest examples I can think of, of a dynamic music system
