Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 12/08/2026I just remembered I wanted to make this fixed version. Sorry to put them in your TL. 48212
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 10/08/2026Best games of 2026 so far? Finally a youtube video talking about 'Laney, this won't make you happier'!! 000
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 07/08/2026Never sheen that shit before, wtf is happening. Started Foretales a few days ago, everything was fine. Now it's unplayable because it freezes as soon as I move the mouse (but not if I move it veeeery slowly) I'm sure it's not the game, but Hitman is fine and a reboot didn't help. Might be the EGS?? 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 07/08/2026I think the worst part about that blogpost is how they admit they're only being transparent because people would have found out otherwise. "I wish I could lie to you" basically. There's just no way AI isn't melting people's brain, no one with neurons that can connect on their own would act that way. 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 23/07/2026(I think they were thinking about making the "best" game possible for the time, just like they are now. They're not the ones to blame imo, they've just been doing what people are demanding and accepting. Holding off on posting screenshot for MGS Delta, SH2R or Demon's Souls Remake, but you know.) 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 18/07/2026The SSR in question. There are so many places with small ponds like that that keep basically flashing. It's especially bad because if it's in a part of the screen the bright default reflection makes it look like a point of interest. It's incredibly stupid that this has become the default in games. 000
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 18/07/2026Dungeons of Hinterberg - Episode Renaud (1.5h) Free standalone story that I'm adding here because imo it solves a bunch of issues. Only 7 mini dungeons with some narrative in between, but no dumb RPG systems or whatever, just pure ideas focusing on unexplored gimmicks. Still too much combat though. 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 16/07/2026At this point I'll quote myself one last time, because it's doubly relevant here, and I 100% stand by it: (told you I was mad at that Among Us inventing social deduction line 😂) 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 15/07/2026Nevermind, they all have a quote of this post pinned on their profile. I guess that loser made a bunch of lazy bots that tried to appear like real accounts with "normal" activity. He even made them a day before the giveaway post, what a genius. 220
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 14/07/2026I hate (disrespect) this dude so much. His video on RDR2 was peak not meeting a game halfway, yet it established the discourse. THEN he comes back years later: "turns out it you try to accept what it's doing, it's good!" Speaking of which, my masterpiece from a few days ago (translation in alt): 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 10/07/2026Reminder that social media is social media. You don't need to lie to express negative feelings about people you disagree with, but what would be the fun in that, I guess. 020
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 10/07/2026Sure Vivaldi staff, joke about not switching browser when doing what they're supposed to be made for becomes impossible. I fucking hate tech so much holy shit. 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 07/07/2026That being said there's a reviewer that basically says "I recommend it but I don't like match 3 nor card games" which is already pretty weird, but also this, and I just can't. Same complaints some people had of Blue Prince and ffs, knowing the square piece goes in the square hole isn't the point! 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 01/07/2026I still have my big boxes, they take up so much space... Though this allows me to get this one out and admire how bad this reprint/platinum version is. 000
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 27/06/2026Great timing on that Michael Brough post mightyvision.blogspot.com/2026/06/advi... 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 26/06/2026Sometimes just one mention is enough. Surely if you have an audience you could continually improve people's lives. Even one person listening is worth it compared to constantly writing about industry BS and blockbusters, that only makes you appear serious. Few recent examples 🥰 120
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 17/06/2026idk, it's very interesting that in the Order of the *Sinking Star* logo, the star is full; while in The Witness the logo you find on a bunch of different items is clearly just the top half... guess it might be a prequel then 🤷 010
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 17/06/2026Je disais ça à moitié en rigolant mais maintenant je suis persuadé que Sinking Star est la suite de The Witness 010
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 14/06/2026And that just on here 😬 BTW Mortol (and its sequel) in UFO 50 was a good example of leaving your corpse as a platform: they both needed a structural twist to make it interesting (limited lives, open design), and rituals / special abilities on top of just dying. 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 14/06/2026I've been hating on this game for a while 😂 But I still wanted to try the demo just to be sure, and it's way worse than I expected 🙈 Also, really not a good look for the showcases that featured it, especially the ones that are supposed to be curated (no wonder there's a *discovery problem*...) 120
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 11/06/2026Him going "no, man" at the start of season 3 of The Leftovers is still the most heartbreaking shit I've ever seen in a TV show He's so good 010
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 07/06/2026Realising I got blocked for this, and *come on* (the quoted post was the one I quoted) Even if we should be mad about all of it, it's still weird how Annapurna is always the example. But I think my point still stands, why should we be mad about rich assholes funding art (esp. not propaganda)? 200
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 06/06/2026Idk how he does it every time!! You know this'll be turned into a gif and used over and over. 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 30/05/2026Maybe big names studios shouldn't stretch their resources so much that they have to sell a million units to survive. Maybe big names driving prices down to be no-brainers makes it an issue for everyone else. Because of that stuff, I honestly believe this vibe-based graph is true: 130
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 26/05/2026The way they about the AI disclosure for that magic librarian game is pure insanity. Now we're looking at how the use of gen AI is reflected in gameplay to say it's okay to use it if we like the games I guess. aftermath.site/librarian-ti... 220
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 25/05/2026Video essayist are never beating the allegations 😆 Not complaining, I just find the coincidence here funny. The 1st has some clips of Cairn, not mentioned. But it does talk about Getting Over It. 2nd asks if there's more to Cairn than meets the eye and it's also pretty funny compared to Baby Steps. 010
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 24/05/2026They already nerfed the grass a lot since release, because it was supposed to be a game everyone should be able to run. This is insanity 000
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 21/05/2026I love WoA as much as anyone who can ignore microtransactions, always online, and FOMO systems, but there's also a reason why, when you see someone playing it, half of the gameplay looks like this: 120
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 19/05/2026Funny how everything Patrick Willems says in next month's video is also relevant to the majority of the top 100 games on metacritic. The very sad part is that none of those movies would get anywhere close to this. 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 30/04/2026God, I miss disliking roguelikes because I just didn't enjoy the game (gungeon always felt like the worst runs of isaac to me 😔), instead of hating them for their fundamental lack of any sense of ethics. www.polygon.com/enter-the-gu... 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 30/04/2026Did this yesterday, except from maybe Endless, Nameless, Guncho and Trash of the Titan, I'd say they all fit. No space for 23 links so hmmm Mask Quest is a platforming game about managing your O2 levels while avoiding police brutality, so it's the best store.steampowered.com/app/1127660/... 140
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 29/04/2026<500 reviews includes way too many puzzle games, so I did another version specifically for those. Template: grids.fun/t/cool-games... 020
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 28/04/2026Okay, okay, I made a positive template for "obscure" games (still focused on commercial stuff, sorry) 500 can be pretty hard so I'd say this can be changed but probably shouldn't be above 2000. I *might* do 500/1000/1500/2000... (alt template in the alt too) grids.fun/t/cool-games... 100
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 27/04/2026I made a game grid template for when you want to start fights with boring people on Discord 👼 (everything listed in the alt text) grids.fun/t/a-bunch-of... 131
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 26/04/2026Definitely not a good way to get like 40 reviews for your game though 200
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 24/04/2026Independent games journalism is where it's at! No more pressure from higher ups, no more compromises for access!! 120
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 13/04/2026Also, it lets you do custom template! You can now do those grids but with actually interesting categories!!!! See: 241
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 13/04/2026Did this one a couple days ago, there might be a joke answer... who knows which one it could be, surely this wouldn't be for a category that I don't think should be in there 😌 Template: grids.fun/t/about-me-v... 370
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 09/04/2026SMB 3D is so weird, I'd love to know how things were playtested. Tons of small geometry and hitbox issues, but the weirdest part is the difficulty curve and balancing. Some levels you struggle to get a second below A+ time, and here I'm getting almost 10 seconds under without doing anything special. 120
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 02/04/2026Reading "Sluggerfly and Team Meat smartly added a new air dash ability to Meat Boy’s limited repertoire of techniques" from IGN's review makes me feel insane. This is such a fundamentally different way to look at games that it's no wonder I generally don't agree at all with reviews. 110
Fachewachewa @fachewachewa.itch.io · 26/03/2026Une mort si bête 😭 (touché une coccinelle et le knockback m'a fait tomber dans la lave) 040
![Of course, the thing about having to publish your source code is that people might look at it. And when they do, I think it is quite evident that it is a LLM-generated project[1]. And when I thought about that, I thought that there would be a high chance that people would yell at me online. So as far as I see it I had three options here:
don't release the project (but I think it's good and I think people will enjoy using it)
hope people won't notice I used an LLM (but I think that's unlikely, and then I'll still end up getting yelled at)
write a big blog post about it, and probably get yelled at when I publish the blog post. But at least I'll get yelled at on my own terms (this is the one I chose)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zobrfle57a6tjeyn4naxwzgr/bafkreicy3qmhlk335bny626cyxa7tvypq4bnbzelxjpscdknagfowue7xi)
![Some people talking on discord about The Message From Deep Space (which might not be in direct response to my mention, but since no one talked about it and it's pretty obscure, I'll take some credit)
From me, quoted: Randomly mentioning two demos that are really cool and haven't really seen people mention [...]
person 1: +1 message from deep space good
now I have to wait a week though :(
person 2: Make that +2! Such a fascinating idea and the fact that you eventually learn more concrete words than mathematics is so intriguing.
Honestly, rule discovery mathematics has so much unseen potential
person 3: Agreed, I enjoyed that demo last night, had some good rules](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zobrfle57a6tjeyn4naxwzgr/bafkreia46ty7dhuweduo2mcrg7cfws4bng7svj4nzoc2ekw7rxyve3i6f4)
