Had to call it quits on Tomb Raider: Last Revelation due to a gamebreaking bug so I'm onto Chronicles. I know people didn't like it but I'm digging it! It's scaled back which the series needed. 3 and LR felt so rushed while still trying to feel like an evolution it's nice to return to core gameplay.

Obscure's whole thing was that you kept playing even if a character died, but it was relatively easy to save everyone. I like that in Obscure 2, main characters continuously get killed throughout the game and you can't do anything about it. Good and upsetting way to mix up expectations!

on the cta just watched a guy accidentally grab a woman's face to balance himself instead of a metal bar

Love museums, hate that I can't just teleport to visit them all... The National Taiwan Museum of Comics is doing an expo on Chen Hung-Yao, a local comic artist that also did the cover art of several of Soft-Star's RPGs in the 90s: www.ntmc.gov.tw/home/zh-tw/e...

as wapo gets dismantled for sport and grievance, @muckrack.com is surveying journalists on the state of journalism in 2026 and offering a shot at a $50 giftcard for respondents, which is ironically a better picture of the state of journalism in 2026 than any survey could possibly paint

My hobby is finding the most random & cool-looking untranslated RPGs and going "hell yeah!"

I wonder how he's handling all this

I spent way too much time look at liquor bottles in Lost Judgment yesterday and the whisky's having been manufactured understands and it doesn't understand for the first time when where it was.

if I wrote a book about point-and-click adventure games from the early 2000s would anybody give me money to do that, because I really want to do that

One Piece Mansion / PlayStation / Capcom / 2001

Such a great conversation!! For the longest time I didn't think I vibed with French New Wave, but then I really got into Truffaut's movies. The Doinel series especially is just so good, could easily spend hours more talking about them.

NEW EPISODE OF FRUITLESS! On today's episode, I was joined by @bryanonion.bsky.social to talk about François Truffaut's series of semi-autobiographical films, the Antoine Doinel saga. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

It breaks my heart to hear this. This is an open offer to any author reading this if we can help to promote your book let me know. Everything we do is free of charge.

Why do people want a Rule of Rose remake! Remaster it at most! Put it on modern platforms with minimal change is ideal!

Tomb Raider (1996) Developed by Core Design

your game is only a jrpg if you have - unreadable ui - three or more stats that do nothing - permanent missables - strange Hats - dog party member - potions for no real reason - Double Slash - music that makes the listener weep instantly (if you're broke, stolen is fine)

Deciding "m'lady" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all have been rusty tromboned by your French boyfriends and it SHOWS.

Deciding "Picrew" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all haven't been blackpilled by your genderqueer boyfriends and it SHOWS.

Deciding "malarkey" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all haven't been punished by your neurodivergent boyfriends and it SHOWS.
