Trying this new thing where I get my thoughts about a game out while the game is still kind of sort of in the conversation instead of eight months from now.
Short version: @inkle.co absolutely killed it, between this, Overboard!, and Heaven's Vault, they've got certified range. Check out TR-49!

Help Nina (a certified Real One) raise enough cash to move and marry their one true love! They'll be playing Wolfenstein, which is as thematically on the nose now as it was in 2017. GET PSYCHED <3
Dammit, Katie, you can't drop something like this the DAY I purchase Horses, and the DAY BEFORE I will be UNABLE TO PLAY GAMES for SEVERAL WEEKS. π
Sign me up for anything Deconstructeam makes, full stop. π₯°

Get in, losers, we're talking about tools and history and humanity, and there's a lot of satisfying footage of bad guys getting absolutely merc'd by things that weren't designed to merc bad guys.
Big ups to @katieandcatburger.bsky.social for her absolute S-tier voice work! Give it a watch, yeah?

Can I offer you some existentialist, English-major-coded, heartfelt appreciation for Dead Space in these ongoing, trying times?
If the government won't help us, we must help each other. Join up and help a pal get out of Dodge. <3 There's a designated "Punch a Racist" counter, so you literally can't go wrong.

The Doom Slayer from the 2016 release of DOOM fighting demons in the orange-red hellscape, while Ursula K. Le Guin calmly observes all from the horizon.
I'm going to spend the next several hours testing the theory that, actually, Doom and ancient philosophy (courtesy of Ursula K. Le Guin) DO actually go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

In a time where leadership, political and otherwise, sees fit to find new, horrible ways to rake us over the coals, I found comfort in an unexpected game...not BECAUSE of the ability to have a bootlegger merc somebody who did you wrong, but in spite of it.
Mel Brooks is the only person to do Nazis correctly in contemporary media and we are now experiencing the fallout of 50+ years of movies telling us that actually the Nazis are stylish and well-organized adversaries who should be respected and admired
tumblr user nitewrighter says: Me: I donβt get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. Iβm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, itβs the fascism. Youβre completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and youβre also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means youβre going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
my husband just sent me this
I know that you know that I know that this is all fucked, but this is fucked. I wish I could talk about video games more here, but god DAMN.
Doing the Actual Lord's work.
In a similar vein I think this is why Fantasy stories about an underdog hero rising up and overthrowing a seemingly all-powerful BBEG appeals to so many people.
This is it. This is my glimmer of good news in a sea of abject and absolute bullshit.
This is a better shot of the size of the crowd at Powder House Square for Rumeysa Ozturk. Less than 24 hours notice.
"we have seen this beforeβ
this swallowing of bodies,
this hunger for breath,
this grinding of names into dust.
they did it to the ones who marched before us,
who sang before us,
who dared to cup light in their hands
and show the country its own face."
You mean a thing I can put on my Watch Later list until I SOMEDAY get around to 1000xResist? PERFECT.
On Fridays, we get angry.
Science is how I get awesome papers and citations for my videos, so color me invested. The advancement, safety, and understanding of humanity and our world is a nice bonus. If you are able to attend somehow, check the Local Events page; plenty of opportunities in the usual urban hubs.
It's taken some doing, but I've tried to just leave it be. AVGN's origin and popularization of "angry coverage" tilted me towards not feeling the need to contribute to that any further. And there's something different about dunking on massive devs versus the smaller indies; punch up, not down.
Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.
On the one hand, the world (and our world in America) is Objectively Bad for anyone with a single empathetic bone in their body.
But on the other hand, I finally got to uninstall the Dasher app from my phone. Gig courier work can choke, and I'm going to take my little victory for today.

So with almost all digital game stores being based in the US,this could seriously fuck up the type of games we can release. We're not talking about small titles either. We're talking about Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Cyberpunk and so on. 1/2
Spoiler alert: it's not just with shotguns and rivet guns. But it's not NOT just with shotguns and rivet guns. Gotta work with what you got.
