Me, trying to create the ultimate game dev discourse homunculus, “Baseball is actually a turn-based jRPG with parry-based countering, emergent narrative, and painted lines that tell you where you can roam on the battlefield in which you attempt to kill god*.” *The hopes and dreams of your fans.

As a Braves fan, I am ecstatic that Freeman now has three rings. I also get to claim the Dodgers whenever I want because my grandad pitched like half a spring training game for them in the 60s.

I own over 500 games on Amazon Games. I even have the launcher installed. Notably, I have not purchased a single one of these games & I currently cannot find a way to purchase games via this app, nor can I recall ever seeing a way to do so. I legitimately do not know where I could have bought games.

Me, praying for 20, “Get it twisted. If you lock in you can do anything. Motherfucker. Get it twisted. Your actions impact nothing. Your fate is predetermined. The only thing you can change is your reaction to it. You can do anything you set your mind to. The world is a playground designed for you.

I think It should remain.

It has never been more obvious to me that 90% of game dev lives in Seattle than at this exact moment.

My feed right now, “Give everyone their flowers cause the MM2 composer didn’t even know that people liked his literal industry-defining OST.” Also my feed, “Are there even any good games? I’ve only played half a dozen in my entire life and here’s my take.”

*Disturbed voice* Oooooooooooh AAAAA AA AAA A

Bagmen beasted beltmen baggily on the beltway.

Showing of Wanted. The Angelina Jolie scene toward the end. The second “it” happened a dude stood up and screamed, “Oh fuck no! Fuck this movie. What the actual fuck.” And continued yell the entire way down the stairs and out of the movie without seeing the last 20ish minutes.

Posting for vis. Huge Red Bull scam going around for SMM roles. A few red flags here (sender domain, truncated link, David Huber lives in Austria, lmao) but still p legit looking at first blush. Now screenshot with 100% less my email address in the picture. (Thanks iPhone).

What video game ignited your passion for gaming? Mega Man X is the only game I’ve been more than like 3 times. I’ve played it to death and it still hits. I can recite the opening lines to Icewind Dale because it showed me Faerûn was a real place. Alkaiser’s Theme in SaGa Frontier is goated.

Choose your own adventure! Pick one and I’ll tell you the story. (Not all of these are bangers, but most of them have some good parts.)

The @jocat.net stream with @ghostcrawler.bsky.social & @acobi.bsky.social from @fpcstudio.bsky.social talking about Ghost was absolutely goated. Love seeing that type of dev / community interaction and I NEED A KISUAN YESTERDAY.

So a fuckin meteor just went through a guy’s roof in my hometown. What the actual fuck. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/r...

Didn’t expect to have an exact mirror held up to me for my own experiences getting laid off by a tiny, stop motion chef. Probably gonna fuck around and cry myself to sleep now.

I’m late to the party here but Winona Fighter’s debut album is fucking transcendent. This shit absolutely rips. youtu.be/MnKtScnMTs8?...

Clair Obscur has all the fuckin sauce. This one will sit with me for a long time. This felt laser fucking targeted at my own personal tragedy, grief, and depression and it’s gonna take me some time to chew through it. On the other hand, I still want to make a full list of overt FF homages it did.

So, uhhh... I wrote almost 4,000 words on this subject. Could probably use a little editing and I kinda left a few points to die on the vine, but I'm trying to grind out the last few missions in PTCGP before they end at 2am. So, you know, irony isn't dead. Enjoy! 1drv.ms/w/c/d1978e70...

I’m so sad because I desperately want to be live skeeting Summer Games Fest, but everything in my job decided to set itself on fire, so I’ve been on calls since 9:30am. 🙃

THE WILL TO RESIST IS IN YOUR HANDS.

Had a teacher in high school who did something similar. Always graded on a curve. Told everyone: If everyone in the class only answers one question, everyone gets a 100. Said he’d never had it happen in his whole career of teaching. Guess whose class got everyone a 100 on the final exam. 😁

Congrats to all the Spurs fans, but it’s also objectively funny that 17th place just beat 16th place by one goal and a trophy was awarded for this feat.

I actually cannot fucking believe what Clair Obscur just did. If they fucking stick this shit I am going to be blown away.

@toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk @junchgaming.bsky.social @airbagged.bsky.social @thoughtrise.bsky.social @echochlo.com Y’all peeped the new Johnny Booth that dropped last Friday? Absolutely shreds. youtu.be/OjfARxxQBY8?...

My boys over at @challengerdeepdude.bsky.social (who I cannot believe actually have a Bsky account) just dropped this absolutely monstrous single today. Shit goes absolutely hard and I 0.01% contributed to this one since the title is a quote from my book. youtu.be/6TKtyq2_oiQ?...

Sending a call out to some niche enthusiasts/sickos. @dominictarason.com @felipepepe.bsky.social @maxnichols.bsky.social @ramiismail.com @writnelson.bsky.social Did any of y’all play Graal growing up? This was foundational to my childhood, but I’ve never found anyone who knows it or has played it.

Me, 33, playing Clair Obscur and weeping along with French Robert Pattinson 30 minutes into the game. I fear it’s over for me. This game is my personality now.

Lmao GameStop cloudfare page is probably the funniest possible outcome.

My Best Buy has a line for everything on it’s site right now and I’m too scared to use my app to get the amiibo while I wait on my desktop for the console cause it says it’s “verifying your account” and idk if it’ll get pissed that I have two windows open. D:

@iam8bit.com reprinting The Messenger and @doublefine.com reprinting PsychOdyssey the same week is literally like tailor-made specifically for me in a weirdly cosmic way. Two pieces that I’ve long regretted not owning. Now I just need that @annapurna.com / @mobiusdigitalgames.com death metal shirt.

Rolled credits on Blue Prince tonight and I am… slightly whelmed? The run was fuckin incredible. Clutch moments, got my first full 45 rooms as well. Solved a couple of puzzles en route to Room 46. The “end” is interesting and I think I maybe got the “bad end”, but I don’t feel satisfied at all.

I’m so glad that we’re finally getting the true, original version of Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 from @strangescaffold.bsky.social. Yes, for those of you that don’t know, the versions of CRDM2 and CRDM3 that you played as a kid are actually CRDM4/6 respectively. This is the *real* CRDM3.

The next post in this thread will have some slight spoilers for Blue Prince due to what’s in the image revealing a few things that are not initially known / understood when playing, I think since it’s a thread to myself, if I open and close the thread with text the images won’t show up on skyline.

Is everyone playing Blue Prince fast, or am I just playing wrong? I’m on Day 6 and I think I’ve played for like 4 hours already? Progress feels absolutely glacial though. I’ve turned it off, but I’m literally sitting on the dashboard and I’m about to go back in I think.

Since it’s now becoming “discourse” again, I must plant my flag firmly in the “MetroidBrainia” is a good genre name camp. Also, OG CastleVania is stylized as such, which means MetroidVania and MetroidBrainia are the correct spellings. You can also rip eSports out of my cold, dead hands.

Everyone: All of these games look so sick. I can’t believe Nintendo knocked it out of the park. Me: *seeing the SF6 and ToTK amiibo announcements* RELEASE ME FROM MY PRISON NINTENDO I DON’T WANT TO BUY ANYMORE OF THESE

I didn’t do my normal live blogging for the Direct because of meetings, but seeing my skyline full of similar people posting their unbridled joy at gaming made me so unbelievably happy.

If you haven’t read this Haus of Decline, please do yourself a tremendous favor and go through it today.
