It's objectively strange that Chrono Trigger is the name of a JRPG series about time travellers dealing with a crisis, and Time Crisis a series of light gun games.

when i started writing this i was absolutely convinced it was going to be a joke on the level of the silksong chocolate cake debacle but after researching it they've made a believer out of me i'm sorry to say www.ign.com/articles/why...

Between Hit Man and Running Man, Glen Powell has now been in two movies where he gets to put on silly little disguises and goofy voices and I think it’s a niche he should keep doing in all his movies

Many thanks to Team Cherry for this very fun and rewarding experience, I got frustrated sometimes but mostly just had a blast with Silksong and am happy I stuck with it through Act 3. It's been like a part time job to me this month lol. Hard to give it anything less than a 9.5 out of 10.

Kinda sucks that I don't enjoy the mini games in Act 3 of Silksong. I just want the last mask shard and needle upgrade so I can beat Lace and put the game away, but they're gated behind, uh, juggling fleas and winning a foot race. Really weird pacing to put those at the very end of the game.

Our standalone encore feed of A Year of UFO 50 has begun! A weekly re-airing from the start, the best way to experience the book club. Tell a pal! It should be searchable within a few days but links for now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... feeds.libsyn.com/593495/rss

working on post-credits stuff in Silksong now, still having a blast with it and finding new stuff every time I play. It's a little silly that you basically have to look up a guide to get to Act 3, but it's not too hard to piece together the steps with a few hints.

The UFO 50 Art Collab!! To celebrate the first anniversary of a game that means a lot to me (and many others), we brought together artists from the UFO 50 Discord to create this grand collage! #art #artcollab #ufo50 #ufo50artcollab v More of the collab in the replies below v

First batch of custom cassette tape covers for a bunch loose plus i wanted to make a "physical version" of Quake Arcane Dimensions for myself.

Got to the final boss of Act 2 last night, about 38 hours into Silksong. Probably will take some time to go clear out more of the map before I really try to beat it. I usually come back way stronger when I do that, and the boss doesn't feel nearly as hard. Safe to say I really like this game a lot.

Just got at a local demoscene/tech art meetup event and there’s a bunch of commodores running demos on a table, wow

Check this out!! Aaron Trammell is this week's guest on Post Games!

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

I've released the BTSX E1 and E2 textures for reuse: www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/... These were mostly made between 2008-2014, with a handful of later additions. It's a pretty sizable collection and I'm excited to see what people will do with them!

they should make silksong harder

Got 15 hours into Silksong over the weekend, very hard to put down. Every time the game starts to feel rote it throws in something new and unexpected; it's great.

The air dash, run, and glide abilities, combined with the divekick, make getting around the Silksong map way faster and easier than at the start, kinda wish they were placed even earlier. Feels like Super Mario World in some ways. Enjoying it a lot more than the opening of Hollow Knight so far.

Beat Lace on my second try, so yeah, you could say I'm a gamer

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

Silksong has some pretty mean stuff and long run-backs in the first few hours, but after playing so much UFO 50 it doesn't feel too bad so far. I like the new movement tech a lot; I think the game could stand to have more benches though, mostly right before and after boss doors.

I want to read a story about why everyone got so hyped for Silksong. Not the boring ‘it is a sequel to a good game’ story but the ‘how did waiting for Silksong become an active cultural thing?‘ story.

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! @mahliann.bsky.social, @marcuscarter.com, and myself have combined our collective brains and written a wide-reaching introduction to the complex and interdisciplinary field of Game Studies in this forthcoming book for Polity. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

But seriously, Silksong comes up 12 times in our digital game history archive, all from Game Informer magazine: archive.gamehistory.org/search?keywo... In hindsight, Silksong being called "the sequel you never knew about" is unbelievably funny

Garland and Boyle arguing about the human condition for two hours and convincing a major film studio it’s gonna be a crowd pleasing zombie movie is very much my particular brand of teletubbie.

I just hope everyone who bought Silksong today goes on to play more indie games after it. If that's your gateway to hard games that require a lot of you, made by super small teams, and you enjoy it, then keep exploring the weird stuff. Not everything needs 6 years of press hype to be worth trying.

always happy to talk about Majora’s Mask and important issues like monkey capital punishment

Knightmare (1991) was a CRPG for the Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga by Mindscape. This was the second video game adaptation of the popular British television show of the same name, now as a grid-based dungeon crawl with a four-person party as you quest to defeat Lord Fear! (a Frightknight thread)

top two, maybe top one books about game design that are actually about game design, ever

Happy 40th anniversary Commodore Amiga! The machine which hooked me into computers where the QL and the Speccy failed. Here are the Amigas I've come to hoard over the years, the A500s are my childhood ones. I'm still uploading content to my secondary Amiga Channel: www.youtube.com/@amiga-longp...
