been playing that new control and so far it's a pretty bog-standard AAA game where you get a cool weird vignette every thirty minutes. more dead air by volume than either control or wake 2. some very muted remedyisms but nothing that makes you go "nobody else could've made this"

I'm an official D&D/MTG illustrator working on a game that's p much a love letter to everything I like about RPGs. and more: it's pay-what-you-like. get OMIOS URES for free if you want, I don't care. spread the word, play the game once with your group and I guarantee they will want a campaign. :)

page of OMIOS URES. digital painting over graphite sketch of a chameleon hunter with a hand cannon. his prehensile tail is holding a torch behind him, and various items are strapped to his body. a bandolier with potions, a large bag with a bear trap sticking out, a fairy in a cage hanging from a rod. waterskin, pocket watch, sleeping bag, retro aviator-like goggles on his forehead. he walks hunched, as if sneaking about, and his delicate gait - exactly like a chameleon's - is a visual play, resembling the tippy toe walk of a cartoonish hunter

When employing an item’s Skill Check for a NPC, replace the skill with the NPC’s Body, Mind or Magic. An NPC trying to break out of manacles uses Body instead of Physique.

I know some people who worked on Splinter Cell Blacklist follow me but I don't know who so I would just like to broadcast that the DLC co-op level "BILLIONAIRE'S YACHT" is extremely good. What a good level. Very well done whoever that was

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

the only thing missing from the splinter cell conviction story is the two dudes should fuck right before the tragic ending. it would really tie the room together

i once scheduled a taxi to pick me up at 11 am on the 11th of november, which makes a clean 11/11/11. the dispatcher notices this and laughs. the day arrives and no taxi shows up, so i call. the same dispatcher says she has the time down as "12" and suggests i misspoke. strange and infuriating tales

i like posts about sports because rarely is there any barrier to somebody like me understanding them. not esoteric in the slightest. i think it's delightful that people who have been watching soccer for years or decades will be going like "they should try kicking the ball in the goal to score"

You can find the campaign at launchgood.com/1948 where Rasheed will have to figure out how to promote a Palestinian-made game about Palestinian history, all while his people face genocide and apartheid. Palestinians are not even allowed to ask the world if it wants to hear their story.

Even if you follow me, you likely can't see my last repost: a Palestinian gamedev working on the lovely Dreams on a Pillow launched a promised follow-up crowdfunding campaign. But @moderation.bsky.app labeled him spam for daring to be Palestinian, so you can't see reposts, repost him, or tag him.
