There's no game I play more regularly and hate then Magic. I just finished a sealed of Reality Fracture and it pains me to say but they might have cooked with this one. Empower Jace is so smooth in limited my losses never felt cheap, I got to surveil away some lands, draw extra cards, it was nice!

It feels like Strange Scaffolding was the studio I thought Devolver Digital was going to be. Like Devolver hired Cactus and I was like "oh these games are gonna be wacky" and then they turned out relatively normal, meanwhile Xalavier is out here like "OUR NEW GAME IS HAUNTED LIBRARY" 🤣

Ok let's say you go out and happen to see an arcade, what games would make you walk in and play a bit? For me it would have to be the new Stern Pinballs, and Namco's Quick and Crash, what about ya'll?

Hey, Castlevania is free on mobile right now under "Castlevania: 40th Anniversary edition" I know it's definitely on Android, probably on iPhone too, great game for the fall!

This is an unfinished thought, but a friend just showed me these crack a pack lives on TikTok and I immediately thought what if the cards that got opened was somehow related to a secondary game instead of just straight gambling lol

So much science fiction relies on the idea AI will decide humanity sucks and wipes us out, but the more likely scenario is that AI and automation gives a handful of shitty people the economic and military power of entire countries that they then use to take over

Kind of surprised no one has made a vegetarian sequel to Super Meat Boy called like Super Plant Girl, main character made from a block of tofu, that'd be money for someone good at making platformer levels

Soooo...this Daggerheart system looks worth looking into, huh lol I like to give stuff some breathing room before jumping right on it, but seems like it's sticking around, guess I'll pick up a copy and read through it

So there was a minimalist game jam, no images, words only, basic formatting (which is a cool idea) and I threw the start of a science fiction setting in there called Freelancers of Raia. It's over on goldskullgames.itch.io if you want to skim through it. I'm going to chat a bit about it here:

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

I think its honestly wild that as a genre, tactical RPGs (for me anyway) are infinitely more fun if they involve mainly ranged attacks instead of melee. That small change, along with some type of cover system seems to be what makes them playable

Spent two days trying to figure out how to pay human money to watch football games, the NFL is such a dogshit organization it can't get anything working right I'm just going to watch it for free somewhere. We need a banana ball but for football.

Am I crazy or do the quips in Zero Company sound a lot like the classic SCUMM engine point and click adventures? Something in Hawks' sense of humor seems similar.

Star Wars Zero Company, besides being a fun tactics game, has given us, I think, the best little "weird talking alien" in a while with Kabb. Honestly I can't imagine having to come up with a quirky speech pattern, plus a lot of pressure to not Jar Jar Binks it lol

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

Stern is really tearing it up these days. Like I haven't really thought about pinball in decades, and now I'm like 'maybe I could by 6 or 8 of these for my one bedroom apartment' lol

Ugh the indignities of getting older, living long enough to see a song debut, become a classic, and finally get turned into the background music for a medicine commercial. Oof. This is why everything is lame now, because everyone sold out.

I'm surprised no one has tried to recreate the Nintendo hotline days where you called real people to help you through sections, in an indie game, that would be hilarious, how much is it to rent a call center for a month or two lol

Broadcasted from the PS5 for the first time, getting the mic right was tricky and it certainly sounds like buttholes, but it was easy to do so there's a bonus. Played some Tekken 8, waiting for big Bob to release, VOD is available on Twitch
