The amount that I love someone’s game is proportionate to how much my brain short-circuits while attempting to speak with them. I ran into Sandfall’s CEO Guillaume Broche at Unreal Fest and I *think* I said something coherent in there, but most of it was blabbering about loving Clair Obscur.

Here we go! 🪡 🎶

One of the game dev speakers at the #UnrealFest opening remarks said that they partially got their start making minigames in Minecraft. I love that there’s going to be a whole generation of new game devs who got their start in the blocky sandbox. I can’t wait to see what they make.

Remembering this classic shirt- what would a periodic table of Minecraft look like today? I think it's funny that, just like the real world, the periodic table would expand over time given new discoveries.

I’m honestly not sure what to do with these. This is what happens when your Dungeons arcade machine is on freeplay for like two years. 😅 Once they’re dispensed they’re done, in-house freeplay is not the intended use model! (No I can’t ship them to you, cards are heavy)

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

“The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.” Anyway, canceled my Disney+ subscription. (And got the recent auto renewal refunded)

Heck, gotta finish Silksong! The game is LONG!

The modern day connections in the AC series are part of the reason I play them starting with “eagle vision works in real life??” in AC1. The segments allow us to examine the historical context of events you’re reenacting. Without them we lose a cool hook and background plot and I am less interested.

You can pick any four real arcade machines to start a mini home arcade. Space and money aren’t an issue, no emulators. Which four are you picking? Here are my choices!

Hollow Knight was a cute game for babies compared to Silksong.

If anyone feels like they needed to get in on the Silksong hype and they haven’t already played Hollow Knight… play HK first. Silksong amps up the difficulty and slows down the pacing a bit. It’s very good so far, but the original 100% holds up today and can help you. Buy both if you want!

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

Job’s done! Time to head home. Thanks Xbox remote installation. 🥰

Is there a visual like this for Minecraft?

I thought that two weeks was enough to finish a replay of Chained Echoes plus the new DLC. I was wrong, and now the song of silk is nearly upon us. Have mercy. 🙏🏻

Boooo. Boooo to all parts of this. 😔

I see lots of comments about long-running games continuing to do feature updates for free, and how it's morally superior to games with paid updates. The reality is that most of the "free" updates are paid for by game sales, or GamePass attribution, or even merch sales. Nothing is ever free.

I keep thinking about games with gigantic scope, like GTA or No Man’s Sky. And unless you already have the money (and thus dev time), how do you not disappoint at launch? NMS is great now but consider that it’s been developed for THIRTEEN years. It’s so rare to launch with a scope so massive.

Minecraft players are sometimes like, “Why do you have so many capes, do you think you’re better than me, bet you didn’t even earn those” To which I answer, here is my Pokedex, here is every MtG planeswalker, and somewhere at my parents’ is a childhood coin collection. My brain just does this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

People seem to be yearning on this flight 💎 ⛏️

Americans love technology and absolutely hate science and that’ll always be fucking confusing to me

I imagine a specific subset of gamers would be interested in getting their hands on one of these playmats. ⛏️ 💎 More details later this year!

I wonder if I could use AI to write a thoughtful and polite response to this, because I might not be able to manage one on my own.

Really enjoying the Bobiverse audiobooks. It’s like a mix of 70% Andy Weir witty science, 10% Ernest Cline nostalgia references, 20% “I should really play Satisfactory again”. Listening while doing chores or making numbers go up in The Planet Crafter has been a great use of time!

Is this an Xbox? 🤔

Our next game, Dosa Divas. Battle an evil fast food empire in this spicy narrative turn-based RPG. Two sisters and their upgradable spirit-mech cook delicious meals, fight corpos, build up your reputation with local communities, and reconcile with loved ones. youtu.be/jzOKSPSVYwY?...

Hey nerds, I need Spotify only suggestions for nerdy but passable club music that makes people go, “Hey wait a second… 🤔“ or “Holy crap!” Like a Minecraft or Tetris club remix. Starting a collection here: open.spotify.com/playlist/7lG...

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for like a week. I already know what my Spotify Wrapped is gonna look like this year. open.spotify.com/playlist/255...

Apple’s complete inability to let you set a one-time iPhone alarm more than 24 hours out is baffling. No I don’t want to set it as a reminder, I need my phone to yell at me two days from now, simple.

Ride together, survive together. Grounded 2 is coming to Game Preview July 29. ​ ​✅ Xbox Play Anywhere ​ ✅ Day one with Game Pass ​ ​ Learn more: xbx.lv/4dTQEk0 | #XboxShowcase

Hell yeah, Grounded 2! The first one was one of the better survival crafting games I've played, great with friends!

Not gonna lie, I saw Game Freak and what looked like a souls-like, and immediately wanted a souls style Pokemon game where you travel through a mature world and then actually control the Pokemon battles yourself as you dodge and parry a variety of foes. I'd play that!

Just finished Expedition 33. We’re only halfway through the year but it’s going to be hard to top that as Game of the Year for me. I’ve played a lot of RPGs over the years, this stands out as one of the greats.

Great now Star Wars dragged tears out of me twice in the same season. At least we have that movie to look forward to. Hope Cassian finds what he’s looking for on Kafrene. 🤞🏻

So a video game.

Self care is muting specific words here so that you never have to see posts about the thing you don’t want to see. 😁

Dang, people really be updating the Minecraft wiki at lightning speed, huh

“It’s not a loop… it’s a spiral…”

trump: *announces 100% tariff on films* the games industry:

If I could go back in time to when I started Blue Prince I’d have gotten a bigger notebook and had “working on”, “what does it mean”, and “things I know” with different category headings. And every time I think I don’t need to transfer my notes to a better format, I take two more pages of notes. 😭

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Credits roll on Blue Prince but I still have so many questions! Guess I keep playing until I’m satisfied… or Oblivion comes for me. 😂

CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!

Blue Prince is like if Gone Home and Outer Wilds had a baby. Been playing it all day, very interesting game.

I liked Harry Potter when I was a child and had no knowledge of the author. It was awkward to enjoy when she started saying idiotic things. Now seeing her entire persona and fortune is dedicated to harming others, it’s not worth giving her money or mental space. I can enjoy other things.

Satisfactory, but you’re a beaver, and your tech tree is just actual trees. Sounds cozy. Someone make this please. 😂

thought crimes are now illegal in the united states. it’s truly baffling that their anyone was ever convinced by the right being pro “free speech”. anyone who gave any credence to that argument is a rube
