Something a little different today. Trying to put into words how the world feels lately. horthallus.substack.com/p/mold-and-m...

I Will Not Get Over It.

We are letting our world rot.

New article! Decided to finally get my thoughts down on the encroachment of generative slop in gaming. I also discuss why I won't be covering a few games that I was previously excited about. horthallus.substack.com/p/a-single-d...

I'm so fucking tired of seeing GenAI shit EVERYWHERE all day every day. Who the fuck wants to live in a world plastered with slop like this?

Guess who's still got the juice?

Finally got the gumption to finish another article! This time I talked about the obsession with making open world RPGs bigger without making them richer. open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Open World, Closed Mind

If RPGs are bigger than ever, then why do so many feel... empty?

Probably the fastest I've gotten back to Master Ball, but I'm still not sure if Raichu Y has the juice or if Gholdengo works on a rain team... Either way, glad I didn't have to swap in Archaludon or Basculegion at least!

Finished Mina the Hollower! Really great game, just the right length, just the right difficulty, and really well balanced. Great to have a game that emulates "retro" games without just remaking a certain one. It has plenty of NES Zelda DNA, but is clearly and distinctly original.

Took Champions getting me back into Pokémon, but I finally completed the DLC Pokédexes in Violet!

Champions got me to finally go for a beast ball shiny of my favorite digital boy, now to just speed run the DLCs to get both evolution items LMAO

Horthallus 🀄 @horthallus.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

First shiny in Pokémon Champions!

Finally back with a new article! Bethesda Game Studios has burned through the last of my goodwill, and it only took... wait, 11 years!? Is Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition the final nail in the coffin made almost entirely of nails? horthallus.substack.com/p/fallout-4-...

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is an Embarrassment

Why you shouldn't slap a sixty dollar price tag on a decade-old game.

Angel on my shoulder: If you're hungry before bed, a light snack like an apple or maybe a warm glass of milk might be your best bet! 😇 Devil on my shoulder: White shells and chedda Me: Hmm... that does sound good... Angel? Angel: White shells and chedda All three of us: White shells and chedda

Fallout 4 is only good because you can name your weapons

Okay, NOW I feel prepared to talk about the problems with Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition

Horthallus 🀄 @horthallus.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Holy shit, what a beautiful card! I'm hoping they do a lot more of these full-arts with actual backgrounds #PokémonTCGP

This shit is so depressing dude... Bethesda have somehow lost even more of my respect, even after everything else over the years

Horthallus 🀄 @horthallus.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

The amount of Creation Club content that comes with the Fallout 4 anniversary edition that is broken or straight up unfinished is insane. Came across a building still labeled "Quick Test Cell" lmao. And half the new weapons have absolutely unbearable firing sounds. Arcade cabinets are cool tho

We have been born into the bosom of a corpse. Dead before we even had awareness. And yet there are still those, their teeth sticky with black nectar, who look at you with bright eyes and say: "We're so lucky! They worked so hard to give this to us!" It makes me sick and dizzy to try and understand.

Man, it's a shame that you only get creepy stuff as good as the two Dunwich locations in 3 and 4, this is really where these games shine atmosphere wise.
