big thanks to everyone who got the CB OST during Bandcamp Friday the other day (and at any time), wild to me people are still buying it, nice reminder that people are still out there supporting artists ♥️

damn I was excited to try this out, Marvel Snap but with the Sonic IP sounded like a dumb but fun idea I could get behind so they made a game, did a test launch in the Philippines and then... just pulled the plug on it? what the hell man

Joel Baylis @joelbaylis.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

The plug being pulled on 2XKO *in its first year* is astonishing and such a slap in the face to everyone who worked on it over the past 10 YEARS. Can't even imagine a glimpse of what goes through the minds of these big corpos - games cost money to make, so charge money for those games!!! Insane.

darn, had this pre-ordered there must be a significant issue for them to miss out on releasing alongside Marvel Tokon, that seemed like a pretty crucial move to not give an updated release date too is pretty wild...

Loving Suikoden 2 HD Remaster. Story is compelling and surprisingly fast paced which I love, makes it hard to put down. No filler or annoying side quests so far (7 hours in), just "oh shit' moments every 15 mins. great stuff.

finished 1000xRESIST, phenomenal game best storytelling I've experienced in a game since Edith Finch perfect for Switch & only took me like 10 hours to finish too - which, if you're anything like me, is a very attractive selling point definitely recommend
