Project Hail Mary (the book) was fine. I really don't like how the author writes. I felt the same with The Martian. Project Hail Mary (the movie) was great.

Crimson Desert literally has a nature preserve. It's a huge area enclosed by walls (like some of the bases in the game have), and a variety of animals I haven't seen in the wild yet, with dozens and dozens of NPCs just wandering around and looking at the animals.

Just wrapped up chapter 5 in #CrimsonDesert. I avoided it for a bit because it was the big fight with Crowcaller. But I finally just went and did it and it was one of the coolest sequences I’ve played in a game in awhile. Mild spoilers ahead.

I know it got some grief in its first few days but I’ve been absolutely loving #CrimsonDesert. On PS5 Pro it’s been an amazing experience.

Exploration in Pokémon Pokopia is not something I expected to enjoy so much. The notes you find from the long gone humans (a mystery that unfolds through these wonderfully written little stories) is so intriguing. It paints the post apocalyptic world in a sadness I didn’t expect. And a little humor.

I couldn’t help it and now I’m kind of in love with this game. And I don’t even like normal Pokémon games. It scratches a bunch of other itches, and it’s so damn charming! @danika.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social @patrickklepek.bsky.social @robzacny.bsky.social @remapradio.bsky.social

That Marathon thread by @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social has my mouse hovering over Confirm Purchase in my PSN cart.

okay i think some of the systems in marathon are poorly explained, so here's a little thread on how the game clicked for me.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I’m so behind on @remapradio.bsky.social episodes but I finally got to the GOTY part 4 episode and was psyched that Hell is Us got a place high on Rob’s list. It was a surprise favorite for me last year. @robzacny.bsky.social @patrickklepek.bsky.social

You might not think going from Resident Evil Requiem (one of the best games so far this year) to Resident Evil 0 (which I’ve never played) would be a REALLY rough transition, but you absolutely would think that and you’d be correct. Oof.

It's so demoralizing to see the hate machine start spinning up again at the whiff of a female-led God of War spinoff. Pedos with nukes: sleep. A commercial product you don't have to buy: pants filled with shit.

I’m 51. I still love a good Hot Wheels.

Philip's Hand-Drawn Game Guide artwork is the absolute best.

I'm remembering why I bailed on #OctopathTraveler2 after nearly 65 hours. The final act bosses for the characters clearly require specific builds to beat, and I just don't have them. There's nothing more demoralizing than spending 45 mins on a boss only to lose and have to try again.

If you’re looking for a solid Skyrim-like game that’s set in a dark fantasy world, Tainted Grail is pretty rad. It definitely feels a little low budget. Its performance occasionally sucks & sometimes EVERYTHING pops in slowly after you fast travel. But its fun & hits all the Bethesda stuff I like.

We are legion. Join us in group 2.

It’s exhausting and disheartening and brutally sad, not least of all because fundamentally, it could be a different way. We could build it a different way. But a lot of people who say they’d like that to be true are, themselves, too afraid to believe it’s possible. I wonder who built them that fear

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

even if the Supreme Court says we can never touch Trump for any of this shit, the next admin should go after everyone involved in buying and selling pardons and they should do it loudly and aggressively

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

I meant to post this last week for @patrickklepek.bsky.social but one of our neighbors has an incredible use for the giant skeleton. I’d have to assume he’s changed costumes for Xmas by now. Will confirm. 😂

This can't be entirely right because my profile says 21 "Years of Service" (Member since May 17, 2004), so the math doesn't add up. But still, these look familiar for some of my early Steam games.

Nailed it. 😂

Last year, I made the Annotated Ninja Gaiden not knowing that A- we would be getting a new 2D entry and B- it would be made the Blasphemous folks. Get psyched for tomorrow's release by watching this, and then... www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I don’t think it’s coincidence that I stumbled across the Annotated Ninja Gaiden video series by @johnlearned.bsky.social last night on YouTube. Now I must get this new Ninja Gaiden game.

So who do I blame for installing this on my Switch 2? 😂 @remapradio.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social @cado.bsky.social

If you see this, quote this post with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade!

Bad news, America.

I’m juggling a weird combo of games.

Ok this is cool.

Death Stranding 2 sure is weird but oh so great.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

It’s not simply doing this, or doing it without congressional approval, or doing it without explanation of risks, or doing it without declaration of war, or doing it on behalf of an ally mid-genocide. It’s the fickleness that suggests what’s to come. Rule, war, death by his whim.

I’ve had this (what I think at least) amazing idea for a T-shirt, and also other things like posters or mugs that I can put the image on, but I really have no idea where to start.

If you’re reading this, post a gif from a video game you love.

Destroyed pink flamingos in someone’s yard because they were freaking out a rogue AI in a car. I do not have a pic of the crime. I’m not crazy. #Cyberpunk2077 @fringemagnet.net

Post your favorite #DoctorWho . Wrong answers only.

I feel like it would be quite poetic if I can finish up BLACK OPS 6 by January 19th and then roll right into Wolfenstein: The New Order on January 20th (our fascist president-elect’s Inauguration Day).

I’m doing the homework! I already finished STALKER 2 a few weeks ago. My first actual STALKER game and I am a forever fan now. @remapradio.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social @patrickklepek.bsky.social @cado.bsky.social @robzacny.bsky.social

Thanks @austinwalker.bsky.social and @cado.bsky.social! 🙄😂😂 @remapradio.bsky.social @patrickklepek.bsky.social

Nothing like being chased by 3 bloodsuckers while an Emission is coming only to find they’ve chased me all the way to my shelter that isn’t an adequate shelter and I die of intense radiation before they can kill me. Thanks I guess? 😂 #STALKER2 @robzacny.bsky.social
