Reading the latest Xbox closure news... Seriously, fuck AAA gaming. Workers laid off while executives get golden parachutes. Pivoting to indies & retro gaming has been one the best decisions I made.

Don't go to the Modiphius site and see they've got a warehouse clearance sale going on that includes Skyrim and Fallout miniatures, and don't spend $40 buying $150 worth of Skyrim miniatures and sets. That'd be crazy.

Blizzard taking one of their iconic IPs, ignoring what made it unique & cool, bolting it on to a fading gaming trend, and then announcing it will be out years from now is the most AAAA game dev corp thing they could have done... I should look into that the indie RTS gaming scene is like now. Sigh...

Found out that The Odyssey was getting an IMAX re-release and got to finally see it. Absolutely Incredible. The slow burn tension build up was brilliant.

Decided to rage-watch the rest of the episodes tonight... How is this critically acclaimed and got a second season!? No one makes smart decisions and it's like watching a bad Black Mirror "Bring Your Kid To Work Day" episode

I finally decided to watch Alien Earth... two episodes in and.... I don't think I've ever watched anything that literally scene by scene changes my opinion on it. "Inconsistent and muddled" comes to mind which is a shame because there are some brilliant cool ideas in it.

Watched "Backrooms" tonight... Seems like every major recent "indie" horror movie has a scene practically lifted from a David Lynch movie. Started off brilliant but.... eh... okay.

Agree with this completely! I dislocated my knee three times in early June. Doctor advised a brace and cane, especially while on vacation. I don't use it all the time but when I'm sore after PT or have a heavy walking day ahead of me I am VERY thankful I have a good cane

Vampirium: 1997 will be coming to Steam early access! ⚰️ Assassinate Dracula’s enemies in a minimalist immersive sim 🧛 Master your dark gifts with a branching skill tree 🩸 Uncover unique methods of executing missions 🦇 Defend Dracula’s shadowed empire Wishlist now. Join us.

A screenshot from upcoming game Vampirium: 1997. On the left is a level map. On the right, the location name and description: Basement: Zsombor's Bedroom. Dark. Cold. Serene. Peaceful as the grave.

The player is mid-combat with Zsombor and two guards, their actions reading as: Striking Me (3s), Taking a shot with 9mm Pistol (2s), and Reloading Shotgun (5s), respectively.

A screenshot from upcoming game Vampirium: 1997. The player is in conversation with Miss Satō, a portrait of whom is on the left side. Text reads:

(An elegant woman stands in the lobby. As I approach, I see the telltale glint of the vampire in her eye.)

Miss Satō: You are our... guest?

(I answer in the affirmative.)

Miss Satō: Good. Welcome to The Fang, the temporary home of Dracula the First, King of the United British Empire. Touch as little as possible please.

The player has three dialogue options:
- Why is he here?
- Where is everyone?
- Does anyone else know I'm here?

A screenshot from upcoming game Vampirium: 1997. This shows a skill tree, with several upgrades already unlocked. The tooltip for the most recent unlock reads: Action - Ready Stance - Prepare to attack when outside combat. Speeds up next attack action.

A screenshot from upcoming game Vampirium: 1997. The player is in combat, and has selected the Silver Katana weapon in their inventory. This has offered two options: Hit KF Guard with Silver Katana, or Throw Silver Katana at KF Guard. The player is hovering their mouse over the 'Hit' option, which in turn has brought up a tooltip with the details of that action.

Uses 30 ! (Stamina) (I have 45 ! (Stamina))

Takes 2 Seconds

Does 60 x 1 = 60 damage

Interrupts

Adds 5 ? (Suspicion) to all characters present

Thinking how at the end of the Star Wars trilogy an entire galaxy celebrates the death of the emperor without a finger wagging coda where a sad-eyed long haired scold in bespoke clothing warns that this reduces everyone to the same level as the genocidal tyrant who got tossed into a laser shaft.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!
