Glad to see this Dev isn't slowing down after it seems Metal Eden came and went. Just picked it up myself, looking forward to playing more of it since I dug the demo.

I think of this often

They’re calling him “the least Googleable man of all time”

Everyone please stop buying Slay the Spire II so I can buy it instead

Nothing better than getting randomly followed by an account and then I check em out and they're making something really cool. It's like Rollerdrome and SSX had a baby

THAT'S MY GOAT

The worst part about that White House video of satellite footage of the US bombing Iran is knowing someone who has low enough humanity to edit CoD UI over clips of people dying is employed by the US government. The second worst part is they're a Childish Gambino fan.

the silicone valley version of Sephiroth posting is Wesker posting

"Why isn't Xbox issuing a takedown notice??" They don't want to! They profit off of this!! When you buy Xbox games, when you promote them uncritically, this is what you are helping fund.

Please watch @peterspittech.bsky.social's essay about how intertwined Call of Duty gamer culture is with real-world oppression youtu.be/IQYwCClbDUw

wild yall let this end in a tie

Me, the gamer that doesn't watch anime:

15% of American social lives end tomorrow

This continues to be painfully true

Another 'Yeah, everything in here is good' bundle. Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion is like playing a very funny, very stupid webcomic. Slayers X is a Hypnospace Outlaw-themed Build Engine FPS parody. Sulfur is a great solo extraction-shooter roguelite. Metal Eden is gorgeous & by the Ruiner devs, etc

live look at the two wolves that live within me

I'm taking this to mean that they see Valve as a legitimate competitor and don't wanna help they by putting their games on PC natively. Might make me slightly more likely to try the inevitable PS handheld, but I'm still not picking up any PS6 anytime soon.

Is it crazy that this literally made me tear up at work rn

Surely locking more games behind specific hardware as the price of hardware ramps up to the moon is a good thing for the medium and will benefit developers and players alike

I've put 50 hours into this game across Switch, PC, mobile, PS4, and Xbox. That's on the low end compared to others but for the few months I really got into this game, it really took over my life. I'm terrified to loose my life to this tomorrow.

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

This week I've played the first few 40ish minutes of both Star Wars Republic Commando and Wanted: Weapons of Fate. Both are trying really fucking aggressively to be cool but only one of them pulls it off. But the one that isn't cool is at least funny in how hard it tries.

bro was Barron a Highguardian

Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight) we don't have to make games like that aftermath.site/indie-game-p...

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

I'm kinda mad about this actually.

Watching the indie Direct rn and I agree that it's giving Playhouse Disney, but also... Nintendo is a toy company so idk what else I could expect.

The hole in the ozone layer was actually very serious and a global effort allowed it to recover. Y2K WAS actually a serious problem and people worked countless hours to make sure nobody even noticed. Air and water pollution was catastrophic in many places and incredible effort reversed that damage.

It's giving

Just feelin' like posting this one again.

I do wish we would stop using -slop in a irony sense (ie co-op indie games as "friend slop") and just continue using the term from a few years ago "streamer bait"

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

As someone who doesn't listen to Drake and thanks God for making sure I haven't connected to his music since high school, I'm beginning to understand that Lil Yatchy is my Drake.

The final Test Drive of the Steam Next Fest is up! I played the new game from the studio behind Godfall, a game that like 10 people remember, and 5 remember fondly. But this game seems pretty fun, tho I can see some things that definitely need to be smoothed out. Check it out on the channel!

it's boring, but I've gotta say it: work like this takes time and money, and our only money comes from subscribers, so please subscribe: aftermath.site#/portal/signup

Daughter Games and Wife Games are an interesting thing. they always come after, never before, the games centered on the men in a story—as if they have to ask for permission to exist that doesn't stop a certain sector of absolute fucking babies from whining about the fact that they exist, period

blue skadoo?

Some feedback to PR folks that certainly wasn't asked for but hey: I find that I'm way more likely to redeem a Steam key and look at a game when it's sent to me directly via email than when I need to click through to some other site. Especially if you write "key enclosed" without enclosing a key.

they've made nothing but God of War for over 20 years straight. I want nothing more than to see whay they can do with literally any other ip at all, original or otherwise. that being said, if we HAVE to stay in the Norse world still, this is absolutely the most interesting angle possible

Thank you for helping get this brain worm out 🙏🏿

Halfway through this and I'm full of existential dread but also really grateful that anyone left to do this level of investigation on all of this. Wild times we're in

there will be no Pokopium huffed today

the mere glimpse of a marvel rivals character would kill a 2016 Poster much like an original 4loko would treat a peasant from ancient china
