New episode of Damage Per Pod is up! @damagepersecond.bsky.social and I set out to discuss Control, the latest in our run of Remedy’s games. We somehow also end up talking about Evangelion and Running Scared. Give it a listen if you like. open.substack.com/pub/jessebar...

Back to the Remedy-Verse with CONTROL or The Concrete Throwing Simulator
Control sets up Alan Wake 2 deliciously and the Oldest House is kinda a place I would love to stay in forever?

A Legends Remaster is a primo idea b/c of this very observation. Those games still hold up with gameplay/exploration but could use 1.) updated controls and 2.) physical preservation.

pretty crazy games art can be more about how it makes you feel rather than if it breaks the mold or not.

This is Aldo. He is a good boy. But also... a bad boy. 13/10
a photo taken through a glass door into a store. there are several stickers on the glass, including a big round one depicting a dachshund’s silhouette behind a big international “No” sign, a red circle with a diagonal cross through it. just inside the store, a little black dachshund is sitting perfectly still on the tile, oriented exactly the same way as the dog on the sticker and directly underneath it. he’s a rebel, and you can’t tell him what to do.

In preparation of discussing QUANTUM BREAK on the podcast next month, I started reading the book published by @torbooks.bsky.social. It's fun! I'm about halfway through and I would say that it's def for those who have knowledge of the game - don't go in too blind.

We recently talked about this game on the podcast - what a great format for GEARS. I hope they expand on it and fix pacing issues. $10 is well worth your time for this. jessebartel.substack.com/p/talkin-gea...
