Here's a good example of someone who got what we were going for while framing it in a way I wouldn't have considered ("how similar is it to persona 5 royal?"). I think that's neat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAK6...

this piece rocks

Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after. youtu.be/Rp-gPD_-RM4

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS! ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

demonschool is out now! i like it a lot!

The coolest thing about not being locked up in the 90s style review cycle is.....not everything needs a grade/number or 1 to 1 comparison to another game. We can just talk about games and what we like about them For example, this wonderful talk about Demonschool!

my latest review is out now!!! 💜 i absolutely adore demonschool and i feel very lucky for this review to be my first byline with rock paper shotgun, which has been a dream for a while please give it a read!!! 💜

Great video. Great game. Perfect final two seconds of a YouTube.

Steam doesn't get enough credit as the only storefront that's useful to game journos and writers. There's your game summary, your updates, your videos, your developer information, and your image gallery with high-res .jpgs. Not WEBP. Not AVIF, whatever the fuck that is. Just .jpgs.

He's so right about the fishing

💀 new video! 💀

the comparison between demonschool and persona makes a lot of sense on a high level, but you don't need to scratch too deep to find it has a completely different design ethos when it comes to crafting a life-sim rpg. youtu.be/wAK6T7vm6ss

i'm just gonna say it: i think the game awards have lost the plot this year with these nominations

Felt compelled to write about what malice, block towers, and the parakeets mean ahead of its rerelease. Had to make it into a blog. Hope people still read it. Reading The Boy and The Heron: autumnwright.bearblog.dev/reading-the-...

My book campaign ends in TWO HOURS so I'm going live on Twitch to see how far I can make it in Silksong before we close it down. www.twitch.tv/jacobgeller

do you have a favorite controller for pc games? i tend to just always default to using 8bitdo controllers but is there something else out there i should be considering these days?

can’t wait for my aunts and uncles to ask me about this at thanksgiving

Been having a blast with Pokemon Lazarus since its release yesterday. Shout out to @bb.wavelengths.online for bringing attention to it!

My favorite iOS 18 feature that Apple kept for iOS 26 is when you type a search query into your browser and literally nothing happens until you clear the field and try your search again.

thinking about how that live action zelda movie is gonna be written by the guy who did rise of skywalker and directed by the guy who did the maze runner

The perfect Metroid movie is directed by Terrence Malick and has practical puppets by The Henson Company, send skeet.

the weirdest conclusion i've come to this year is that the psp go is the secretly best game boy advance

Behold! Peter Jackson’s LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy has been at the top of our list for years, now we’re finally going there…and back again! Starting Monday, join us for an exploration of Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre in our new miniseries, ONE SCENE TO RULE THEM ALL 💍

hearing they're releasing a metroid on game boy advance and gamecube on the same day! i can't decide which one to play first!!

had an idea for a new kind of guy who is a big broadway buff but doesn't understand how an intermission works and leaves halfway through every show

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

The idea that Steam Deck would be a Nintendo killer was always silly. The idea that Steam Machine could be an Xbox killer is way more plausible. But it's entirely going to depend on whether or not Valve has any actual interest in doing that. Some snap thoughts. www.polygon.com/microsoft-xb...

there's confirmation in here of a project at valve to get your steam games running on mobile chips like qualcomm's snapdragon line which has HUGE implications for the emerging "pc emulation on android" space. really exciting stuff

legitimately so stoked to see valve return to the steam machine idea in a post-steamOS world.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...
