i don't know if anybody from the coalition follows me here, but i am begging someone to make collectibles appear more clearly and from a longer distance on the tac-com view. There's too much high frequency detail for shiny things to stand out anymore.

This is going to come up, so uh: Websites have to be careful with what words they use and how they use them to avoid lawsuits. And to be accurate and fair in a situation.

This is the second smartass reply I’m seeing to my “let me know when control resonant is finished” post and honestly the degree to which remedy is changing/balancing stuff is pretty significant, with major gameplay tweaks. I would like to play it when it’s settled.

i liked gears e-day much more than i worried i would (even if i'm still annoyed about the lack of a gears 6), and also, it's kind of what the original gears was intended to be. www.patreon.com/aegies/posts...

Just for the sake of the record this is more or less the original lancer design before it got the full chainsaw treatment.

Actually it’s interest rates. The other stuff is a problem but it applies across every tier of the market, and prior to 2019, money was free and failure was more of a write-off.

The Bakir fight in blood of dawnwalker is one of the most infuriating things I’ve played this year. That would dock like a whole point off the score if I were giving it one.

I actually find it super helpful when someone says something so stupid I have to block them. It’s the best outcome for both of us.

i wrote a lot of thoughts on wolverine (just the game, not the discourse, which i also have thoughts on that i may write about). i think it's not very successful as a video game, unfortunately. www.patreon.com/aegies/posts...

Anytime I see discourse about some popular voice actor from a children’s classic being excluded from a modern reboot I do a search for their name along with “allegations” and find answers remarkably often.

remembering when i met @brianaltano.bsky.social at IGN in 2009. we went from strangers to a guy I would help hide the bodies almost immediately. Relentlessly creative and supportive and smart (and I guess some people think he’s funny also?). It’s clear to me who loses when he leaves IGN.

Nintendo has already set expectations for the direct today so let’s see how the internet completely ignores that to be disappointed at the absence of things they will never ever show.

I’m still pretty early on in blood of the dawnwalker but one place it absolutely has the witcher juice is in interesting quests and characters. Got to the convent last night and oooof that’s a compelling bit.

if nothing else this state of play is a showcase for fairouz ai's sartorial choices (which are amazing).

so far the only really interesting actual video game in this state of play is where the seeds fall.

i can't think of a single audience segment other than the most desperate traditional JRPG fans who would be happy about this state of play, and sony really needed more in this particular moment of discontent.
