Joe Wintergreen @joewintergreen.com · 2hmaaaan Control 2, why you gotta have an essential traversal ability not only gated by a side quest but it's one you aren't even told about until you stumble upon its exact location. I'm so confused. If you do this 2 games in a row you must think it's good but how could you think that! 6313

Reposted by Joe Wintergreen👁️saac 👁️o @eyesack.bsky.social · 26/09/2026One funny thing is how the 60s through the 80s were mythologized largely by people who lived through those eras, but the media currently mythologizing the 90s seems to be made largely by people born afterward, so all the details are slightly off in an unsettling way 4486
Joe Wintergreen @joewintergreen.com · 26/09/2026i think steam should up any changes you make to your game to the cloud and that's the only repo you're able to sync to for that game, so if you fuck your install of skyrim you can't reinstall a clean one, that's just the install you have. in this way digital games can be meaningfully "second-hand" 3180
Joe Wintergreen @joewintergreen.com · 26/09/2026always strange to me, livin' through the San Andreas Hot Coffee fiasco, that it never seemed to come up that GTA3 years earlier had one non-satire radio station Game Radio that advertised actual softcore porn videos put out by Game Recordings. the radio read out a URL and i went and saw porn at 12 1334

Joe Wintergreen @joewintergreen.com · 25/09/2026this feels like such a nitpick but there's a voice acting thing i am really not liking from one character in control 2 that i can only describe as like...they're trying to sound too much like they're coming up with the sentence as they go, so they just sound baffled by themselves all the time 2140
