In ten minutes I'll be playing Once Upon a Tile, a dungeon-building game about guiding a mouse through the woods using careful tile placements. Thank you so much to Knothorn Studio for providing me with a key and entrusting me with your passion! www.youtube.com/watch?v=77SK...

I've been hearing a lot of hype around this one, everyone I've seen play it says that there's one game in here they would've considered their GotY 2024 on it's own. So here I am to see if it's the same for me- but I kinda don't like retro games?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIUS...

I really hate in writing discourse when someone is like, "the author really messed up with the focus of this work, they should've just done these genre tropes". People are out here making Art and some dudes are honestly mad that the same seven stories aren't being cynically rehashed year after year.

Getting into a long running manga or novel series feels so daunting at the start... so why do I feel dread instead of triumph when I realize I'm about to catch up...?

Both games I'm playing now have serious gap-moe. I Am Future is a cozy game about being the last survivor of a horrible apocalypse. Digimon Survive is a mascot game about watching everybody around you fucking die. They both have the opposite of the expected tone and I love it.

I'm so deep into being a shitty boring adult that I just got a hit of dopamine seeing the garbage truck pull up, because I know my bin is completely full and it was almost a problem.

What an amazing collection of creature designs. 20+ years of playing RPGs and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like some of these. Big nozzle handed mech with the pneumatic legs is particularly awesome. I wanna see him waddling along on those lil' thangs so bad.

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I don't really understand why I like I Am Future as much as I do. It's mostly just a bunch of chore loops waiting for enough resources to build an incremental upgrade to your tools that allows you to clean up slightly more of your roof and OH MY GOD LOOK HOW MUCH SPACE I HAVE NOW!

Been a while since I made a "Going Live" post, but I'm very excited about the game I'm starting on today's stream, in just ten minutes! We'll be playing Digimon Survive! Ah Digimon, my comfort series, I can't wait to get attached to a whole new cast of tamers. Surely cozy awaits!

Arx Fatalis is a bundle of cool ideas held back only by the limitations of it's era. I'd love to see a modern take on it's magic and crafting systems. If the symbol recognition, enemy AI, UI design and quest guidance were just sliiiiiightly better, it'd be a top shelf rpg.

Smartphone design peaked in like 2015 and we've been going downhill ever since. Bring back removable batteries and textured backs, they're making our devices into slippery little grenades now and I hate it.

Altune @alexplswhy.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

I don't give a rat's how you feel about Pokemon or Palworld. The idea of a company winning a lawsuit based on protected gameplay mechanics is bad for video games. We want MORE iteration in gaming, not less. The idea that a company can "own" a core system is bad for gamers.

Not usually a horror game fan, because most of them live in the realm of boring stealth mechanics and cheap jump scares, but the We Harvest Shadows demo is incredible in how it builds up and pays of tension. Incredibly excited for the full experience when it launches next year.

The foreshadowing in Ghost Trick is immaculate. By the end of the game you have basically everything you need to go "How did I fail to guess this twist?" An absolute masterclass.

YouTube trying to recommend me AI written replies to some comments on my videos is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. None of these make a shred of sense in the context of Moonstone Island. I hope to god no YouTubers actually use these things.

My 30th birthday livestream went really well, thanks for everyone who stopped in. ^^ I knew I liked doing tier lists, but reading AITA posts is weirdly satisfying as well. I think I'll be cutting the stream up into videos, and will do more in the future as well. Back to gaming tomorrow!

Can't compete with a anyone in the Quotes feed, but here, a series of sketches from 2 years ago when I was trying to come up with a design for a witch. A DnD character I was developing was a necromancer and a doctor and I wanted to come up with designs for the two ladies that taught him his trades.

So, the Alliance are clearly the bad guys in World of Warcraft, right? Like, they're a bunch of old money asshole who refused to pay the tradesmen that built their city, and now they're going to war with a bunch of interdimensional refugees and their scrappy marginalized friends.

Ghost Trick is a game that makes you ask all kinds of questions about the human condition, such as "How many times does one lady have to die before she starts to show even a little attention to her surroundings?"

I consider myself an art enthusiast first and foremost. My fave mediums are comics and video games; games in particular are an incredibly medium with a lot of unexplored space.

"Why talk politics, just stick to video games." Good games are art, and art is political. Art shines a light on the human condition and politics is about leveraging social power to change those conditions. Just because you didn't understand the politics of FF7 when you were 9-

The west has never been a "high trust society", annual wage-theft is measured in billions and before we started regulating business, corporations would routinely poison their workers or hold them in debt bondage. Even if you trust your neighbours, be suspicious of your employers.
