calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You’re one of the few people that have made me feel sane about the bad shit going on. I wish more people that I admire were outspoken. Also just wanting more from the art we indulge in, not being wary of more niche art, etc. Thanks for being a lifeline for me 010
calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I loved Cocoon. The animations were so fucking slick. Transitioning through the orbs is just insane. The environments were eye candy and felt tactile. Phenomenal stuff. Excited for your next game! 010

calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026A big part of it was feeling like I was a “fake gamer” if I didn’t play enough games or I wasn’t sustaining the industry by supporting games. Also I was seeking some truth about what were the best games of the year. FOMO etc. Doesn’t help online conversations have a zero-sum attitude about GOTY 020
calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This year I started playing whatever calls me, whether that’s a new game, from the backlog, or revisiting a past game, and I’ve really enjoyed it. It feels almost wrong to follow your own whims lol 110
calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 03/09/2026This is one of Fromsoft’s strengths. The unknowable out of bounds. I hate that so many games are set on an island now. I guess boundless waters are a mystery, but much less compelling than a beautiful skybox and unreachable physical terrain. 000
calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I feel like most of their games don’t immediately hook me but as I give them time I learn to love (some of) them. I don’t think they have overt narratives and themes, besides Psychonauts. They take swings at a wide variety of genres, but they aren’t masters of them as a result. 020

calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This is to my niche interests, but the point and click games (Grim Fandango, Broken Age, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle) with joycon mouse support on Switch 2 would be extremely cool. 000

calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I wonder if Steam could step in to curate? Or organize game jams and publish the winners on steam with visibility. Then give preferential visibility at full release. Idk, I feel Steam could do more, but they likely wont. The money rolls in just fine. 000

calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 15/08/2026JETT: The Far Shore. Yes, it’s a little awkward with the dialogue pacing during stressful missions (common complaint), but I found the worldbuilding, spaceship flight (SSX adjacent), story, and music to be utterly captivating. Especially with the free DLC, it’s one of my favorite games ever. 010
calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I went through a honeymoon phase for the first 20 hrs, thinking this is a joyous experimental wonderland. Then realizing pretty quickly that the opening 20’s gameplay loop is stretched outward into a 200 hr shallow slog. Granted, there are still some incredible one-off mechanic areas. 010

calamariflan.bsky.social @calamariflan.bsky.social · 12/04/2026This is how I’ve felt about studios copying Fromsoft’s design, but at the surface level. Not understanding the design philosophy or subverting it in compelling ways. Profit-driven aesthetic-aping and narratively toothless to boot. 170
