Decided to do the #my9games thing. Hard to pick just 9, but these are all stone cold classics in my book

The 9 games that shaped me. Everquest, Final Fantasy 1, Space Quest 3, Final Fantasy Legend 2, Crystalis, Master of Orion, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Space Quest 6, and Phantasy Star 4

It's always been a good time to be, but lately it's been a great time to be a PS Vita owner. So many ports.

You should go pre-order this. One of the greatest musicians and kindest people I know

Finally finished the last little bit of the Hyperion Cantos. Brilliant series for fans of introspective space operas. Beautifully done.

Playing the new Quake episode and *someone* played Dusk before (not a bad thing!)

"I'm not sure if the listener will understand the subtle nuance of the album title" "Ok, hold that though, I know *just* the place to do the cover shoot"

Album cover for "I'm a man" by Star City wherein a man in a hard hat is standing in front of the largest phallic symbol in the tri-state area to drive home the point that yes, he is indeed a man

Our version of the main theme from Quest for Glory IV reimagines the gothic rock classic as a decidedly more Hetfield-esque speed metal affair. (It may not sound like it at first, but give it time.) youtu.be/0YEWvY6zAMc Download link in reply 👇

People that don't play Ark are missing out because I do and nothing in this image is confusing (or surprising) to me

I'm not going to spoil anything, but that Dungeon Crawler Carl scene with A-ha was one of the best things I've ever listened to in any media. Absolutely perfectly done by Jeff Hays

I've never actually played Silent Hill 2 myself, so maybe they shouldn't have put me in charge of making this EP... but the music is fucking awesome, I love the game's story, and I called dibs, so HERE IT IS, MOTHERFUCKERS. Error 47 does Silent Hill 2. Free download, of course.

Finally on Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 and after that metal netting thing in book 7, I don't know if anything will shock me. I expect to be wrong about that, but it'll be hard.

The speed with which Cooper goes from losing his mind at a perceived intruder to snoring is impressive. This was taken less than a minute after the aforementioned phantom interloper was dispatched.

Some real delusions of grandeur going on to claim a lack of representation because Kratos isn't in the new GoW game when you have more in common with Al Bundy.

This is why you don't update unless you see a reason to update. I have an ancient computer in my studio I use for various things. It's running Win7 and has Office 2010 free edition on it and it works more than fine! I just ignore the daily prompts to update anything

I love following game sale notification accounts because they're always like "Game XYZ is on sale for $37.99 on the US Nintendo eshop! Also, $0.17 on Steam ($0.13 if you use coupon code ABC at checkout)"

Happy anniversary to the best misapplied headline ever.

The words "Did your kid's name make the list?" appear over a picture of an electric chair attached to a story titled "Tennessee Gov. Signs Bill To Allow Electric Chair"

I "beat" both demo campaigns in Warhammer Survivors and the problem I'm having now is that I just want to play the full thing but now I have to wait possibly MONTHS. The horror. Praise the Omnissiah.

Everyone meet Cooper. He is a very good boy who is adjusting to his new home (and my studio) well! He has one mission: To facilitate the death of Matt Damon in an epic space docking scene.

Cooper, the beagle mutt, staring intently at a treat I was holding behind the camera so I could get a good picture of him. He is pictured being a very good boy.

What do you mean you haven't listened to any of the songs from @error47.bsky.social 's Sanitarium EP? For shame! Here, listen to this track from it, it goes *hard* and *weird* error47.bandcamp.com/track/the-in...

Played through Mega Man 1-6 on the Legacy Collection over the past week. Feeling really good about my retro gaming prowess until I loaded up 7 in the 2nd Legacy Collection and... no more rewind. This is hard and I am weak and old

Want to buy a plugin that removes the TikTok sound from the end of videos that always at least twice as loud as the rest of the video.

Wait, when did Windows decide that it's better to auto-reboot on a BSOD rather than freeze and show you the BSOD? Seems if you're having a hardware problem, sending it into a boot loop is probably not a great idea, right?

Tornado sirens going off at the studio. If I'm going out, I'm going out playing Duke 3d (unsafe to work during a storm, right?). Always bet on the duke!

Finally jumping on the Dungeon Crawler Carl hype train and I have to give it respect, I was unfamiliar with its game. Also, I usually can't get into audiobooks, but the audiobook version is absolutely perfect and highly recommended

We finally got around to putting up the Seize the Cheese OST that I did the soundtrack for (with a developer adding a few great tracks as well!). Really proud of how this one turned out. First half is dark and moody, second half is ethereal and spacey. youtu.be/15usDLVNRK0

This DLSS nonsense just drives home the question... Why are people so eager to prevent artists from being artists? What happened to stylistic choice?
