First impression (8 hours) of Nioh 3 is that it's nice. Which, for a Nioh game, is kinda worrying. The relentless pace of its challenges has been its identity since Nioh 1. On the other hand, Nioh 1/2 were kinda exhausting, and this still has better structure than Elden Ring... so I give it a pass.

A reboot of mother fucking Castlevania Legends was not on my bingo card That said, I did ask for this five years ago, so I'm looking forward to the inevitable Shatterhand sequel

Tunnel Snakes Rule came out closer to the release of Fallout 1 than to the current day youtu.be/S0ximxe4XtU?...

It drives me crazy when you get an amazing comic run, but then its plot becomes incomprehensible thanks to tie-ins to other series, to leverage its popularity. Johns' Green Lantern crossed 3 series at one time, and now I see Cates' Venom crossed with 2 back to back. Just tell one story please.

A lot of the time I'll read popular runs like Batman Hush or Long Halloween, and find them just sorta boringly agreeable. But I just started Cates' run of Venom, and it really is the coolest shit. I'm noticing that between Venom, Ghost Rider, and Hulk, that shared-psyche characters are my jam.

Two hours into Silent Hill F, which in the rest of my life I'll only call "Silent Hilf", and it's ok. Combat isn't as bad as I expected, though the complaining I've heard makes me want to append "yet" to that statement. Still not hooked by the story though, when 1-4 all did that pretty quickly.

I think you're being really brave. Thanks, giant muscular blonde flamethrower lady from Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.

It's funny how often the lamest characters get the best comic runs. Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Starman, even Daredevil... and I'm thinking about this because I just started Venditti's run of Hawkman, and it's genuinely incredible. Rock bottom has a deceptive amount of potential energy.

Things are so bad right now that fortune cookies have stopped predicting imminent riches, in favor of eventual sufficiency

New Divinity looks sick Ontos from Frictional seems interesting The Total War community has waited 9 years for 40k, so hey, good to see it finally show up RE9 references RE6 with Leon's quickshot move, so it's gonna be peak Wish we saw more of IOI's 007 Ace Combat is a comfort series, happy to see 8

My top 5 Game Awards predictions: Leon Kennedy shows up Chulip 2 New Tomb Raider Belabored explanations of how the Divinity Series isn't just Original Sin Boku no Natsuyasumi 5.0 You can (not) relax

I was reading Flash comics and had my mind blown when, in a comic from 1995, someone says "This ain't it, chief". It felt like "modern" slang had slipped into the past, but wait: Impulse is from the future, visiting the world of 1995. The writers accidentally nailed it. Mind blown again.

FUCK THE SALVATON ARMY - dashare.zone ADMIN

Space Marine 2 is so unintentionally hilarious I constantly laugh at how their tiny heads poking out from their giant armor makes them look like Stretch Armstrong Then, after the triumphant, explosive finale of each mission, it hard cuts to the guys on the ride home looking like they need a hug

Everyone needs friends. We die alone, but we live among men, Charlie Brown.

The default accomplishment in KSP is getting to the moon and back, but I've been doing that for 10 years now. So, I decided to learn airplane design, and circumnavigate the globe as fast as possible. Sub 1 hour, more than half fuel remaining. 18 very carefully placed parts. Very satisfying.

I aspire to be this stylishly nonsensical

The marketing team must have been up all night making this one. What gorgeous branding.

I had friends in high school who skipped class to play Skyrim on release. I thought they were kinda stupid for doing that, I mean, there would be plenty of time to play it later. Oh how painfully right I was, still waiting for a sequel as I'm hip deep in my career. youtu.be/X2drgbESlR8?...

I always thought Dutch from Red Dead Redemption was only called that as a nickname, since his family is actually dutch. But, nope, that's just his real name, which is pretty weird. It would be like naming your kid something blatantly fictional, like American McGee.

The new Bretonnian team in Blood Bowl sounds really fun, with throwers and catchers having nerves of steel. I always loved the passing game, but it felt like you had to either play (legacy) high elves or (8 armor) pro elves to make it work. Might just pick up this team and finally try painting.

It's rare I enjoy modern open-worldy sorts of games, but I do appreciate Tsushima on lethal mode. The danger of every fight fits neatly into a narrative where a samurai has to learn to wage a guerilla war. Spear soldiers can FUCK OFF Also, it's an impressive PC port, beautiful and responsive.

Spend some time reflecting on your choice of reflections, samurai

This might be the most sublime meme I've ever seen. Steamed Hams but it's a real, live action, no AI, 40-minute-long parody of My Dinner With Andre, referencing decades of Simpsons plotlines. youtu.be/pk-Oq8iYtVA?...

Another release, another signed TWRP album for the collection. I'm especially happy to have the Ladyworld EP, since it was so early that Doctor Sung signed his full name, and Havve Hogan didn't sign with his doodle face yet. It's the first edition Charizard of the bunch.

Is it a universal childhood experience that playing outside with your friends is 50% inventing arbitrary rules, 45% arguing, 4% seeing if we have pizza money, and 1% playing? I walk past the neighbor kids playing Pizza Football Lawyers all the time and I'm like shit we played that in the 90's too

This is a hilarious brightness setting screen. Usually they ask you to make sure you set it dark enough for an atmospheric experience. Meanwhile, Fatal Frame is kind enough to say hey, look at this creepy fucker, make sure you're able to see them or you're gonna have problems.

RE2 got a remake before RE1, but (my favorite) RE1 already had the 2002 remake, so that's fine. Then Silent Hill 2 got remade before 1, which kinda makes sense, but it's sad for someone who likes 1 more. Now, Fatal Frame 2 is being remade before 1, and I prefer 1. Something something three nickels.

I want to go on record as having guessed the next new Blood Bowl team a year and a half ago, good to see Bretonnia being made official. That said, if I'm going to buy some minis, it's going to be Tomb Kings. With the new secure ball action, they're going to be a blast.

Me, three hours ago: Ha ha can you believe that when Mirror's Edge was released, people complained that it was mediocre? I gotta replay that masterpiece. Me, now: Ah. Right.

Tried out the Gears of War remaster on PC, and it's cool how PC/Xbox/PS5 crossplay seems to work pretty seemlessly. On the other hand, I went from going 0/3 to 7/0 by switching from controller to MKB. The difference is insane. Predicting a lot of "REMOVE PC FROM CROSSPLAY" reviews on this one.

I hadn't noticed it in my first playthrough of the series, but in Mega Man Zero, Aztec Falcon is a regular boss, taunting you and mentioning that Harpuia sent him. Then, in Zero 2, Harpuia shows up *riding Aztec falcon, who's walking on all fours* This series envisions a kinky ass future.

I think I have the most basic, 2009 list possible. Left 4 Dead purchased twice because I played it for two days, thought it was the coolest thing ever, and bought it for a friend. I still really love that game, even more than 2. The atmosphere hits just right.

I heard this song for the first time like five years ago thanks to a feliz jueves meme and I still listen to this shit almost every jueves to make sure it's feliz youtu.be/yG7MPEQm1-w?...

I'm normally not a fan of mods, but man, I feel like you would need some to make Morrowind role-playable One of the best swords in the game will deal 150 damage on a great roll... but a normal ebony staff has 90 enchant, so it can easily deal 400+ damage and outclass every melee weapon in the game

My opinion of Oblivion has suffered these last few years, and I *thought* it was because I've started favoring Morrowind. But now, replaying Morrowind... it's getting the same treatment. The guild-strider-boat travel rigamorale gets so taxing. Maybe these Bethesda games were always kinda shaky.

Morrowind's magic system makes for a very weird roleplaying journey for those seeking mystic knowledge. A novice mage casts Fire Bite. A journeyman invents their own frost damage spell. A master casts their pants, because enchanted spells are free, can't fail, and you can always put on more layers.

If you wished to be the best programmer on your team, the monkey paw could just take you 100% literally and add no other details.

Achievement stats can be so funny some times. In Styx, more people kill TWO HUNDRED ENEMIES than finish the second level (this is supposed to be a stealth game). Meanwhile, in Bayonetta, more people have finished the game than used the *core mechanic* 20 times (you can do this in 1 fight).

Three hours into the new Indiana Jones game, I was impressed by how it respects the player's intelligence by not relying on gunfights and action set-pieces. As I near 7 hours, if I don't get a gunfight or an action set-piece soon I'm going to lose my mind, please, I'm sorry, I admit I'm an idiot

I've started reading Judge Dredd, and to say that the tone is a little different than what I was expecting would be an understatement. Not only is a fight between fast food brands our plotline of the week, they're using the real name brands, logos, and mascots. What a different era.

Fired up KSP again for the first time in years, and I forgot how much I love orbital rendezvous. Had to make a munar refueling station, which links with a rocket, which links with a pod, where the rocket is used for a retrograde-burn sled to get the pod to the surface efficiently. Very satisfying.

I saw it flooding bsky, and I've had nothing good on my phone since Marvel Snap went to shit, so I tried the horse girl thing. I counted 27 buttons on the screen and felt so overwhelmed by options, currencies, and timers that I just uninstalled it. How can anyone even PARSE this thing am I stupid

I haven't thought about TLC in about 20 years but damn they're still cool as fuck, peak 2000's style I absolutely adore Left Eye's Space Channel 5 fit for her rap at the end youtu.be/FrLequ6dUdM?...

The original Dr. Strange run in Strange Tales definitely shows its age sometimes, but man, the art is so wonderfully evocative. The writing is also surprisingly ambitious, going on huge 10+ issue arcs when the norm for the era was four at best. It's easily my favorite run of the silver age.

I'm sending my best wishes and hoping y'all can find some time to kick back, relax, and absorb new power from your enchanted triangle on this upcoming holiday weekend.

You may not have known it's Sailor Moon's birthday, but I guess you do now! youtu.be/gLJaAr5sY3U?...

Excuse me

This Doctor Strange comic from 1964 has to be one of the first beam clashes in history, right? (Strange Tales #119) I always think of it as a DBZ thing, but I guess it was decades old by then.
