Now I like GTA but not enough to not own a physical disc for a £80 game. (Besides I didn’t care for the trailers) Now one of the most critically acclaimed games getting a well-crafted and loyal remake for £50 on cartridge? Hell Yes.

I'm gonna be a smug little thing and say that honestly last Day of The Devs was better than the main Summer Game Fest show that proceeded it lol. I loved the variety, especially in a world where the indie games that get press usually are similar genres, MVs, rogues, etc I imagine this'll be similar.

If it’s any consolation, the best things often start very roughly. My last holiday started with seemingly total dread but it turned out imo to be one of the better holidays I’ve had in a long while especially

This and the whole "objectively" conversation imo diminish games as an art form when there's a "definitive" good or bad instead of a range of opinion. All games should have a fan.

Wind Waker. Just kept running about Outlook doing shit. Like throwing pigs off the top of the hill. I was sick and always felt bad so went to drop down with them to make sure they were ok... and throw them again.

I don't like to be negative Nancy but yeah these games are feeling a little samey with the open worlds and sidekicks of late. I didn't like Bananza or BoTW from what I played of either and I don't wanna be given the choice of more akin to those games

My Uncle couldn't get along with 2018 God of War, iirc dislike TLOU2's plot, and doesn't care much for the SpiderMan games, all iirc in the 9 - 10/10 range in reviews... And yet his favourite PS4 game and prob favourite game of the last 15 years is Days Gone, which was a 6 - 7/10.

(by this I mean how there was alot of pushing of Steam for Mac and on some old promos, the Apple logo was before the Windows logo. I mean, another question; was that just a way to market it's on Mac better anyway, was there EVER an intention to work close with Mac? or whatever y'know...)

Bloxed @bloxedretro.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
There's probably a lot of history I'm missing, and the answer is probably very obvious (my guess would be Valve's developments of stuff like Steam Machine) but was Tim taking Apple in a more stagnant direction compared to Steve Jobs part of the reasons why Valve moved away from the 2010s Mac focus?

This is my unpopular opinion of the day but honestly... PS2 is where I start to kind of fall off. I feel the PS2 was where alot of the scaffolding for the modern AAA space was formed and even if AAA gaming was ethical I wouldn't care much for it. I've always been a Nintendo and 2D guy anyway.

conversation to men who are abused. I feel the attitudes towards it are disgusting and need to be given some actual proper attention that I feel it doesn't, or if it does it feels half-hearted and pushed aside.

"gromped" sounds like something you'd find in a meme mocking Grok users lol. Also I'm sorry you went through all that, and the denial. I was technically assaulted but I can't imagine the physical pain you went through and the psychological torment that can muster. Also, we really need to open the-

If anyone needs a script for calling their senators today, here's what I said #StopKOSA #SaveSpeech #NodigitalID
Script for calling senators, August 4, 2026:

Hi! I’m a constituent of Senator [name], and I have two things that I want the senator to know. 

First, Trump has nominated Adam Candeub for the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. I would like the senator to vote against his appointment. Among other things, he wants to bring back anti-obscenity laws like the Comstock Act.

Second, KOSA and the SCREEN Act are scheduled to go before the Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow. Whether or not it makes it out of committee, I would like the senator to vote against these bills. They do not protect children, but  instead age-gate the Internet, violate our privacy, and put our personal information at risk. 

[staff may ask for your address or zip code]

[staff may ask if you have anything else you want to say]

That’s all I wanted to say today.

[staff will likely say they will pass along your message]

Thanks, have a great day!

Ok I agree with your defence but “objectively” has always annoyed me in game opinion discussion. How can art be objective? At that point it’s not an opinion, just say yiu think it’s “factually best Mario Kart”

You know I saw people saying a video game crash was gonna happen again as hyperbolic sensationalism but... I mean if there's this many cuts, layoffs, sales, and whatever... Christ on a Bike. There may be a push to at least maybe make gaming more a niche not any old company can enter again.

Because my point is that modern Famitracker stuff can kind of feel inaccurate to me sometimes and I feel it might be composers trying to compose like Capcom or Konami but instrument like a Follin.

Bloxed @bloxedretro.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
Does anyone notice this thing with 80s and 90s game composers where Japanese composers are often times a bit more hard rock and heavy metal focused in their compositions and the instrumentation is alot heavier but European Composers are more Prog Rock and instrumentation feels alot more ambitious...

Gaming Discussion as a whole imo nowadays feels like when a game releases it's amazing and the best thing ever, then a few years later "Can we admit this game actually sucked?" and a cycle starts.

Now that PlayStation is stopping Disc production for games in January 2028 all I have to say is this... idk if it's relevant to if Sony could have made this decision but I'm willing to throw them under the bus this time... you should have been the victor.

Congratulations on Hideo Kojima for somehow fitting overly long cutscenes into a GameBoy Colour game. (I'm talking about the intro cutscene. I'm sure it's skippable but I made the mistake of saying I wouldn't to myself on first playthrough)
