Now that's the kind of mind-blowing deals people use Steam for

What do runners do in hot weather, provided I absolutely do not have money for a gym? I have actually made progress with running this spring, but my mornings are busy until ~9 and by then it's too hot. Do I wait until dusk? Or do experienced runners just bear with the heat?

Had a nightmare week on top of a heat wave, feeling completely drained today. Gonna make myself some tteokbokki and probably waste the entire (free half of the) day. I think our household has spent a good 35-40% of this year sick in one way or another.

I'll admit I don't understand how old Google translate's machine translation was different from an LLM (was it just algorithmic perhaps?) but it got so noticeably more shit and useless lately I don't see how it can be related to anything other than LLM integration

I am going to have neither time to play games nor money to buy Switch 2 by September, but I NEED Fortune's Weave goddammit

Im probably the only person to ever take a Switch 2 devkit to the beach, at NIGHT, in the RAIN, to capture b-roll footage for a trailer.

I am so excited for a Claire-led game, and she looks great 🙂‍↕️ I would be even more excited about a non-remake with Claire or Jill (lol, lmao even, I miss her so much) but eh, this is great too. And anyway CV can benefit from a remake much more than 4 or even 5.

What a pair, me and you #silenthill

Working on a thing at a breakneck pace of around 1 character per day

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

"Surely this game won't process Vulkan shaders for over an hour so that I don't even manage to start the game before I have to leave" One hour later:

Spend the whole morning installing Linux on my work desktop, making this household entirely Windows-free. Actually sighed in relief when Cintiq's pen pressure worked just fine in Krita with no extra tinkering required.

Doodling while replaying RE9 (actually enjoyed RC more on re-runs, and Rhodes Hill is still fun every time)

Quietly and steadily, I think Sunless Skies became one of my favourite games. Never had a "fan" period with it, but to this day I think about it often and remember its stories more vividly than most games'. Which makes me think I should probably check out Fallen London, but it's quite intimidating.

Finished RE9. Grace's segments: brilliant, 10/10, peak RE, the Care Center is legit in my top 3 RE locations. Unfortunately, I didn't care for Raccoon City. It's good mechanically but a tonal mess, one that left me ambivalent and kinda bored. ARK is fine. It's a RE lab, we know it, we love it

My daughter is approaching the age when I will have to drive her places or waste tons of time, and I simply cannot overstate how much I don't want to interact with cars ever. Feeling jittery just thinking about driving every day, I would never survive in the US

CYBERPUNK-98 Hope I got the palette limitations right!

Moisturized, in my lane, flourishing, studying new things, reading books, watching anime again ...with only a minor downside of not earning any money and thus having an ominous red countdown hanging over my head. Still, for now it feels good, I'll have time to get proper stressed later.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

KYLE: For 13 years I was imprisoned, subjected to cruel experiments interrupted only by my 4-hour daily workout... on a meager diet of 3200 calories per day... OLIVIA: You're too weak and emaciated to take down the Evil Old Man. You need to recover by killing chemically enhanced zombie supermutants

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Been playing Metaphor:ReFantazio lately and enjoying it so much I'm not even playing RE9 until I finish. Far as I'm concerned, it's an improvement over P5 in most aspects, the only big exception being the visuals. I'm glad we got this instead of P6, thank you Atlus.

Extended exposure to American and other English-speaking messaging environments gave me a habit of freely using exclamation points and I fear that makes me sound absolutely deranged to the Eastern Europeans

In awe of people that manage to live and do things with chronic pain. I've had this headache for 5 days and I'm feeling my grip on reality slip

Playing CoM: Archolos is my comfy zone. There's just something about Gothic-likes that makes me relax. Never do I want to listen to a podcast while backtracking through the forests, I'm just vibing and sitting with my thoughts in a way I can't in any "comfy" game. Dunno why, maybe just nostalgia.

I've started working on this December but can't get around to set up my evening workplace (everything is complicated over here) ever since. But I'm always thinking of her... and of making at least one more picture in the same style with So Mi...

Practically forced myself to finish Infinite Wealth. I think this game will remain in my memory as a fun experience that also made me emotional about Kiryu again, but I won't forget the way it made me struggle against my worst habits, either.

Honestly, I remember Paranormasight as a pretty mediocre mystery where characters run in circles until a massive total exposition that didn't feel earned. It was pleasant but not at all captivating for me (except for the beautiful character art). Still, happy it got a sequel and will check it out.

We did a Steam roundup of some of the fan art we've received for Demonschool! It's been really nice seeing how much spontaneous art there's been, so we wanted to celebrate that a little bit. store.steampowered.com/news/app/190...

Been spending my nights in LaD: Infinite Wealth and I love a lot of things in it, especially Kiryu's story. But it's jam-packed with checklists in a way LaD wasn't, and it takes me concentrated mental effort to keep myself from grinding everything out to the point it began ruining the fun.

In 100 years ICE will be one of the many boogiemen of the past, and somewhere in the world people will point at their current state-sanctioned bullies and say "you don't get it, this isn't like ICE at all, stop calling them ICE-wannabees, this is totally different!" and once again they will be wrong

SH: Revelations was, unironically, one of the most memorable movie-watching experiences in my life. It's exactly the right kind of silly-bad that I laughed for most of it and had a great time. It's unfortunate but very predictable that SH2 gets the actually rancid sort of bad adaptation instead.

Friends, can you recommend me some quality adult manga? Either seinen or josei works, I don't have strict preferences, but I'd prefer something finished ("indefinite hiatus" counts). I know the mainstream classics, so looking for something not featured in every list out there.

Isn't it impressive how much rage you can feel and still wake up and do your chores everyday

Every other month me and my husband remember the Warcraft movie and descend into a 2-hour long joint meltdown of frustration about it, and that's probably the most anyone is talking about it these days. The movie is bland, but the decisions that led to it's conception and failure drive me nuts

Нервно хихикаю от Американцев, жалующихся на то, как никто не понимает, какая большая у них страна, как дорого и сложно по ней перемещаться, как тяжело переехать куда-то ещё, и вообще ВЫ НЕ ПОНИМАЕТЕ

I wonder if State of Decay 3 is still happening

Read The Climber. My only gripe is, I wish the entire character of Yumi wasn't in it. They really didn't need to make her so monstrous. Otherwise it's fantastic, and I'm really happy with what Sakamoto decided on for the ending. Imo it was the right choice for this story, regardless of its origins

WE ARE BACK PENTIMENT TIME twitch.tv/linktothepabst

Screw mindfulness, this year we're practicing MINDLESSNESS, I'm sitting here drawing every evening with ZERO thoughts in this head. Is this sub-optimal compared to engaged, analytical practice? Yes. But is it better than entering The Doom Spiral every practice session? Massively.

Geez, I haven't done any personal art in so long I've forgotten how to even start. It's always easy when I have a hyperfixation going, but I haven't got one now so I'm at a loss.

Watched Wir Sind die Nacht yesterday. Grungy Berlin is always an appreciated setting, and the acting is good, but otherwise it would be entirely unremarkable if not for the (hopefully) unintentional, clumsy mysoginistic and homophobic undertones.

I did it, I finally finished The Realm of the Elderlings. What a journey! Took me almost a year to read all 16 books. Overall it was fantastic, but The Liveship Traders and The Tawny Man trilogies remained my favourite.

Happy New Year everyone. May you be alive, healthy and under peaceful skies. And again – hoping every time to be the last time – wishing ХУЙЛО a very СДОХНИ year

100% of scam messages I get lately (in EU) isn't even get rich quick schemes or fake lotteries but fake job offers for a slightly above average wage. "do you wanna work for 20 eur/h?" <- a message so outlandish in 2025 that you know it's a scam.

ppl come to bsky and be like "gee it sure is boring around here!" my boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for.

My favourite seasoning, personally
