just got out of resident evil and had such a beautiful evening of honest, goofy fun but the actions of the protagonist also managed to depict the absurdity inherent to a player who is dropped into horror but remains in this comfortable emotional distance it's a who feels it knows it kinda deal

who knows what they could've done if the 2nd game wasn't just a bog standard cinematic action adventure aiming to please corporate overlords who knows what levels of empathy could've been unlocked, how much those games would've done to bring humanity together but nah UE5-Iceland and cutscenes

So quick german election background info that might be necessary to understand what's happening. Yesterday was a victory for the left not for the right. AfD is a lead by Nazis, permeated with Nazis - No Doubt But the most important takeaway from last night is the strike against neoliberalism.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

never played kingdom of amalur reckoning due to being too cool to play a game with a name that stupid when it came out but my sis always sang it's praises to me and so I started the remaster today - it's as fun as she said and the voice acting is just amazing

Didn’t we just have this discussion about how we shouldn’t talk about the gaming industry in the same way we talk about sports? “Oh buddy Sony sure dropped the kojima here and Xbox made sure to pick it up” “ I tell ya Marty Sonys strategy looks more jittery than the edges of ps1 polygonal objects”

I am in absolute awe of King's Field IV

on a forest clearing next to an moss covered underground entrance an elven lady sits on the edge of a rather large well averting her gaze from the withering forest golem she is sworn to maintain but can't

I'm sure Bluesky hacked off most of that headline on mobile, so:

PC Gamer headline: "Dwarf Fortress creator says we can learn something from simply walling up dwarf nobles to maintain an equal society—but notes you have to abolish the dwarf cops, too: 'Another lesson to be had there'"

the simplicity and elegance they did this with is one of the biggest indicators for what systems geniuses these people are This is the best non fromsoft soulslike ever (still haven't checked out Nioh though) while having an incredibly low barrier of entry -

Yea but then it's fine for people to get pissed off. It's not only fine it's optimal. Because that's how sharpening taste works. You hear something outrageous and immediately construct arguments against it, giving form to formerly diffuse feelings of appreciation. Idk why you're so defensive tbh

I'm writing a video about scores right now and something that really surprised me is: Chuds are right when they're disappointed about a 7/10 But with right wingers it's always the crux of somehow feeling that a problem exists but when it comes to it's analysis they helplessly shit themselves
