“Inconvenience is the cost of community” I think as I go to slay all the monsters in a lighthouse. Some thoughts on Trails in the Sky and what it teaches us about how to build and exist in a community. chaseallhart.blog/blog/trails-...

✨ new video! ✨ silksong is a game obsessed with faith. abstractions, literal depictions, corruptions of faith — it's all there. most important though is silksong's faith in its players, and the lengths it goes through to help us find strength within ourselves. youtu.be/G8MB434ddTk

This week's episode concerns the well regarded 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. This is a game neither of us had played before but knew it's reputation of being a bonkers (respectful) visual novel. It sure did deliver. Check it out this Sunday!

Been playing Crypt Custodian after seeing it pop up on @indiegameawards.gg’s list of game of the year nominees. I’m enjoying it so far! Feels closer to how Death’s Door handled being a Zelda-like compared to something like Tunic. Really interested in where the story ends up going too.

Chase Allhart @chaseallhart.com · 20/11/2024

Been playing Diceomancer and really enjoying it. It combines the rock solid foundation of Slay the Spire and the absolute chaos of Balatro. Also loving the bizarre art style that’s somewhere between the Zelda CDI game and the LOTR animated movie.

I saw some people predicting that because John Cena was retweeting Mass Effect stuff on N7 day he would be cast as Commander Shepard. To them I say, you’re thinking too small.

First thing I saw on threads today: people dunking on Jim Gaffigan for some reason. First thing I saw on Bluesky today: a picture of the Jehuty mech from the PS2 classic Zone of the Enders (a game by Hideo Kojima). I think this means Bluesky won the social media wars.

Recently finished up the Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077. The discussion of that game as a whole is a real can of worms but I really wanna heap on some praise of Phantom Liberty. Truly was not expecting the combo of Mission Impossible, Casino Royale and Alien Isolation that it brought.
