Some games use infection as an aesthetic. Others use it as a strategy. youtu.be/LWz7u1sf67U

Even accounting for YouTube's new view count rules, it's safe to say that my Mirror’s Edge video has officially surpassed my Elden Ring video, which is absolutely wild to me. Thought I'd lost the files in a hardware issue so I'm glad I managed to recover and finish it. youtu.be/isT0xH9doTI

Should video games have shorter legs? @adamatomic.bsky.social's brilliant Pico-8 sketchpad CorgiSpace makes a compelling arguement for yes. My quick look 👀 📼: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhOc...

Very much a fan of the fact that my only contribution to PC Gamer's Top 100 (besides voting) is seven words for Deep Rock Galactic: "Did I hear a rock and stone?" There was something like 13,000 words in this, but my seven were very on brand for me, I must say.
