To be clear: Cairn’s narrative was good. It was a game about self destruction and Aava is a bad person that doesn’t care about anyone but herself. Its like the antithesis of Celeste… sometimes climbing the mountain makes you a worse person… I love Cairn’s story so much.

As someone who is very critical of TLoU HbO show, the news about Craig Mazin getting the reins to BG3 adaptation is somewhat disappointing. A fresh new story in the DnD universe would be better than HBO resurrecting these characters for a medium i don’t think they are suited for.

Cairn is up there with Celeste: ”incredibly difficult games about climbing a mountain and also might change your life”. mechanically difficult but transcendently peaceful at the same time. I was out of food, water and pitons at the end. The ending made me levitate.

asks “how do we manufacture meaning in a way that is relevant to our lives”

asks “how do we manage meaning, when meaning is a burden and punishment”, and I can’t get over how beautiful this fucking game is.

released a demo… i have been so hype, and playing the demo… The only other game experience that has come close to effecting me this profoundly is Outer Wilds. Ifykyk The music, the camera work, the color, the sfx… Oh my goodness i am transfixed. Just the demo.

We had so many friends on tik tok. Damn. Maybe we can be friends? Do you like video games, and thinking critically about them?

Video games are such an immersive and impactful medium. I have had such complicated emotional and philosophical experiences facilitated by this art form.

It really fucking sucks how many indie devs will drop the most artistically important, personally impactful, financially successful, and insanely fun games ever, and then still haven’t released another game for 10 fucking years.

Played this beautiful game where you explore space. Turns out the universe is terrifying and everything you love is doomed. 10/10.

Showing off more of my videogame soundtrack collection.
#strayvideogame
is such a low-fi beats experience of a soundtrack. Thinking about doing more in depth reviews of the soundtracks for games who vinyls i own. Its not opened because sometimes vinyls are just nice to have.

Video games mean so much to me in the wintertime. Playing Bright, optimistic open world games legitimately help with the winter frowns. Thank you BotW and Ghost of Tsushima.

How long can you game in one sitting for? Can you do a full day of gaming or do you need to game in small chunks??

Balatro being nominated makes me so happy. What are you favorite “mechanics only” games? Like Tetris and Balatro, that have no real narrative wrapping?
