Without downloading new pics what is it like dating you?

Completed a full playthough of Doom II today (first time in a long while). Was fun to guess who made each map and see if I was right. Unfortunate about the slog of city levels in the middle because there's some solid maps toward the end. A couple favs:

Heard a lot of praise for The Pit so finally checking it out

sometimes you have to learn how to love

Halo CE's "The Library". Combat against the flood, with various colorful emissive fx glowing in the dark

More of "The Library", with Sentinels helping fight off the flood.

More of "The Library" and the Sentineks fighting the flood.

The new Halo is fun, and there are some gorgeous moments in the levels. I have a bunch of thoughts that make me want to replay the original for comparison though (as if I don't have it memorized 😅), but definitely worth a play if you like Halo.

Fusion core from "The Maw" in Halo Remake.

pretty cool to have such an open level, great vibes, great music

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

A bit more my speed. Sadly no shmups though

What a fantastic boss fight, hot damn! Up there with the best boss fights from Dark Souls 3, and an all-timer for boss music.

I love that Cainhurst is just "what if Beauty and the Beast was a Dark Souls level?" It even does the gag with monsters hiding among the statues. Hope I find a wilted rose...

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Cainhurst time. I've never completed this area in my previous plays of Bloodborne

sad Solaire 😢 Don't worry, we're gonna go kick Lord Gwynn's butt soon 🌞

"Oolacile Township" is also a very cool level.

more doodling. I've got Dark Souls on the brain again.

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Crazy run. Went in with maybe 2k of gear, got the two green keys, took out a thief trying to ambush me, made it into pinwheel, took out a destroyer who had a ton of gear (I think they fumbled their ult, I was at 0 shields but still won), got into command wing but out of time. Exfil'd from pinwheel.

I'd read a whole book in the style of Marathon's lore entries

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Part of what makes the mystery here so good is that I can't just go here. I need the two green keys, which means searching, fighting, surviving, while on a timer. And to even have a hope of pulling that off, I need decent gear before I even load into this map. This is like 1-in-10 runs for a glimpse

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Got my first successful solo exfil on Outpost. Went in with the NuCal sponsored kit, finished off the survivor of a duel and looted them both, completed the Sekiguchi intro mission, looted the armory (got a railgun!) and escaped. Solid ending to the weekend.

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Also really like the Hauler on Perimeter, even though the fights in there have been wrecking me

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Sometime Marathon reminds me of Mirror's Edge, and now I want to replay Mirror's Edge

Thinking about level design. Second one is very much "I have been playing Marathon"

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Really like the freestanding structures, especially when built into slopes like this

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Nice little scifi sewer in Marathon

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Is it still a sewer level if you're just using the sewer to infiltrate a factory 🤔

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Reached the credits. Good game, but definitely takes some work to appreciate parts of its design.

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

pulled this off my shelf for no particular reason

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

I think the idea here is that gnomes build in an incoherent way, but I'm trying to imagine the experience for my players, and it seen like a mess. Unless you climb up the cliffs, you don't meet the questgivers until you're near the end, after overcoming several obstacles, and then have to backtack?

Not easy to do meaningful screencaps of Disco Elysium, but both of these moments were big moods.

Trying to explain Avowed to someone who doesn't play games or care about fantasy: "so, like, there's this island filled with magical wildlife, and all of these factions are trying to settle or colonize it. So it's, like, a meditation on coexistence... but also you hit giant spiders with clubs."

000

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Avowed has started answering these questions in the second region. Crops have been fueled by soul magic/tech, but now there's a blight on the land causing crops to fail, and maybe these are linked or maybe the cause is deeper?

Andrew Yoder @andrew-yoder.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Also just some solid meat-and-potato dungeon design making great use of vertical layering and loops to get multiple uses out of spaces. Like this cistern dungeon for example
