No way! Both are more relevant now than ever. The evils of school/uni/adulthood through the lens of supernatural evil. Escaping the capitalist and authoritarian propaganda of the Central Planets by forging your own path with a crew of found family. There's so much more for these shows to say today.

Bouncing between Pokopia and Pokemon FireRed is like taking off your favourite slippers and putting on your comfiest pair of walking shoes.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

One word has three letters and one has two of the same letter in the middle, it’s a real CONUNDRUM.

No Ghost of Yotei is especially surprising when Tsushima did so well. Maybe they’re scared of the Steam Machine (even though it may never actually launch thanks to AI bullshit RAM scarcity lol πŸ₯²).

No idea why they’re rehashing Ravenloft when both Curse of Strahd and Van Richten’s Guide still stand up as two of their best books of all time.

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.

His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".

Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a cmpany that says it will do no evil.

Brilliant work as always Kojima!

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Esoteric Ebb (@esotericebb.bsky.social), on the other hand... I had to stop playing the demo after 30 mins, because this is so extremely my shit and I want to save it for a proper playthrough. Disco Elysium meets D&D, with fantastic art and a world I can't wait to explore. And it's out next week! 😍πŸ₯²

Not finished the Zero Parades For Dead Spies demo yet, but it's Disco Elysium 2 in all but name. I'm struggling with this one, because my mind can't separate the demo from the dev drama and with constant comparisons to Disco Elysium, I'm finding it very hard to judge it on its own merits. πŸ€”

On the surface, There Are No Ghosts At The Grand (@noghostsgame.bsky.social) is a spooky renovate-em-up (House Flipper, Powerwash Simulator) but it's also extremely narrative-forward (AND funny!). Demo took about 30 mins, took me to places I didn't expect and left me wanting more. Recommended! πŸ‘»πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ¨

More demos! Alabaster Dawn by @radicalfishgames.com is an impressive 2D pixel-art ARPG with a chunky two-hour demo. I never played CrossCode, but after this I'm tempted to go back and check it out before this drops. Enjoyed my time with it! βš”οΈπŸ’«

I held my nose and hate-played until I hit the credits. It never got better, only worse. I know it’s mostly my fault for playing more than I wanted to, but I’ve never felt so angry about a game wasting my time and its own potential. I loved Legends: Arceus so much.

It was frankly atrocious.

I would be very pleased if this was the case. Arceus’ best innovation, squandered in Z-A. Would be nice to have a world to explore and catch in again.

Watch Pombon have the ugliest final evolution of all time. (I don’t care, I will still pick him πŸ”₯πŸΆπŸ’œ)

After this morning’s election result I could even be hopeful for something good in today’s Pokemon Presents. Anything can happen now!

Cursed Words! A scrabble wordsearch roguelike with an ever-developing sense of unease? Yes, obviously I want that. And it plays great! Can you spell 'wishlisted'?

I escaped Vampire Survivors' clutches long ago, but looks like I'm being dragged straight back in for Vampire Crawlers by @poncle.games. Vampire Survivors meets old-school dungeon crawling. Ended the demo needing more, which is about all you could ever want from a demo.
