CONTROL is very much scratching the same itch that BotW did for me. I'm like: "I wanna go over here and do this side quest" *drops a map pin* then instantly get distracted by the new shiny thing that pops up on the way x100

Do people actually like AGS or is that just so common in point n clicks that it's the standard? Speaking as a dude that just built and easy to use, no code, point n click game engine...

playing FF16 is interesting cuz i'm a few hours in and really really enjoying it, then go looking up what other people thought of it, and all the die-hards are shitting on it, and i'm like "oh yea, that makes sense why i like this!"

imo laying off 1,600 people today and threatening those who survive this bloodbath with the promise that you'll lay off another 1,600 sometime over the next 12 months is literally psychological warfare

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

a youth staring down a social media ban will just side step it. as a shitty teen I easily got booze, drugs, none of it difficult. instead of a "you must be this tall to ride" sign, letting through anyone in platform shoes, we could simply force the ride to not injure smaller people that ride it.

Oh my gd. He drives a diebuster-themed itasha.

That's absolutely true! So how did it feel to be a media star, not for being the astronaut that you are, but for being an anime fan? Did your coworkers bust you a bit about it?

Dr. Stanley Love: No, they already know me pretty well. I drive an itasha car. So they thought that was just normal behavior for me, and I didn't get any extra ribbing from them.

Pretty satisfied with Backrooms! Had a big Channel Zero vibe going on which makes me want to watch that show again. But my favorite part was definitely all the weirdo goth teens that gave it a standing ovation at the end, one dressed as Ghostface from Scream.

I went to @dirty-rectangles.com Toronto last night and showed of a Mario 64 rom hack I made where Mario farts a lot. Repping Ottawa with all the regalness and grandeur I can muster.

Mario--dressed as Wario--farts on a Goomba to increase his Fart Combo and uses that fart to propel himself into a patch of flowers, which he also farts on.

Mixtape discourse is odd. Gameplay aside, if the main critique is teens in the 90s wouldn't have listened to Joy Division, DEVO, Pumpkins, Silverchair, Siouxsie, Cure, Jesus and Mary Chain, then boy do I have a custom winamp skin I'd love to show you.
