sorry - try again now? game has about 7 main levels. depending on difficulty, could be 30-45mins each to get thru. i think it'll land on around 3-4 hours average playtime.

It’s a brand new ep with a whole lot of old: two lost Virtual Boy games, a recap of Quintet’s SNES hits, and a return trip to Halo with Campaign Evolved. How many Gabes does it take to wreck a Warthog? The answer won’t surprise you. Plus week-old news! 8-4.jp/podcasts/202...

Want to call attention to Ruin: Beast City. Played some really good demo's tonight but most of the stream was compleating this one. 2 great boss fights and a style that captures the feel of Killer 7. Can't wait to see the full game.

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

Karen Sillas Instagram post saying that her dear friend and costar Tom Noonan passed peacefully on Valentine's Day.

ugh. getting some not-great reviews on steam even tho most feedback is positive. if you played the demo and liked it, please leave a review or the algorithm will kill me.

DascuMaru @dascumaru.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

yeah, fill up the bar. block/parry/counter attacks until they get stunned (usually 3-4 parries in a row), then slash them up. if you take damage, the bar goes down. first attempt will fail ("maim") but the second attempt will do it ("kill"). some bosses will have more (or less) than 2 phases.
