iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

How much messed up body horror and mutilation do you want in your horror games?

Continuing my series of games where you can pet an animal, there is Control Resonant. A dog that is apparently stranded in an otherworldly Manhattan that is being invaded by the Hiss (among other things), but this doggo seems not to mind. Game is otherwise also pretty rad! #gaming #control

Those 'select accessories' being exactly the three seen in the picture. Not getting any more.

Maybe they'll just run the script through an LLM?

Having an absolute blast with the Gothic 1 remake. Captures the feel of the original incredibly well, mostly doing away with frustrations like the clunky controls and reducing frustration without reducing the difficulty. love the addition of mounts, which you can also pet! #gothic #gaming

After many years of development, the Kowloon's Gate English Patch is now available.

I assume most (and ideally all) of those people got paid for their hard and valuable work. I hope the Geofront people too got paid by NISA after their script got used for the official release, at least as a basis.

The Fractal North truly is an evergreen design. I have this one in black and even a year in I am still impressed by its clean look. Very easy to clean too, the front just pops off and has a handy dust filter.

Been playing Cronos: The New Dawn, Bloober Teams newest horror game. Loving its atmosphere and tough as nails combat. As befitting any scary horror game, there are cute cats in the game that you can, of course, pet. #gaming #cronos #cats

Keep it up everyone, if we just keep making games with women and pronouns we can eventually ensure that the chuds never get to enjoy a single new video game ever again

Just started up the new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Pretty neat to also see parts of Rome outside the Vatican. If you explore a bit, you can also find a cat to pet (supposedly one that is not too fond of fascists). #indianajones #gaming #cats

To be fair here, I think that so much stuff is happening so fast, that academia just hadn't had time to reallly sit back and just try to understand all this. Once you accept that GamerGate is important, talking to people who were in the middle of it is vital.

I believe the technical term may be "eye's cream".

Playing SW Jedi Survivor right now. While performance can be a bit rough, the game itself is quite stellar. Also love small touches like being able to pet these creatures, called boglings. In the first game you saw them from afar, but never being able to touch them (afaik). #gaming #starwars

Been playing #OldSkies by #WadjetEyeGames, the devs of many great PnC adventure games like Unavowed (not to be confused with Obsidians recent RPG) and the Blackwell games. I love their take on time travel in this one. It's not a topic I usually enjoy, but this feels like a very fresh take on it.

What, you think astronomy is just the science of looking at stuff through so-called "telescopes"? Nonsense. Every child knows it's all witchcraft, with powerful astro witches creating new celestial bodies out of the ether.

Feels like this is part of a Yakuza style scam. Expecting four dudes, built like a brick to come around the corner and demand you pay a ridiculously high hospital bill

the added cinematography is super impressive. I can't imagine them maintaining this level across the game. Probably only in important story scenes like this.

Mivey @mivey.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I think there is a deeper lesson here: while you need to balance the ability to budget your games with your creative vision, the other extreme of just chasing money without any understanding or care for the creative side will never lead to lasting success in a creative medium.

Instead of building up BioWare to make the best out of the kinds of games they know how to do, they always have them chase live service, only to then crash and abandon it again. Anthem wasn't even doing to poorly, but EA dropped it like a hot potato for not meeting silly sales targets.

Mivey @mivey.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Actually, Dragon Age Inquisition was one of BioWare's best selling titles. This is actually the funny thing: There is no reason to treat Dragon Age like it's this weak franchise. It has massive potential. It's just that EA and BioWare middle management is dumb and treats it like shit for no reason

Done with Trails Through Daybreak 2. Enjoyed this game quite a bit, despite a lot of naysayers in the Trails community, I thought that it acted as a decent extended epilogue to Daybreak 1. So sure, I can understand not being a fan of that, but for what it is, it's great. #Trails #JRPG #Kiseki

Not that play great many games in TATE mode, but this isn't such a horrible idea for gaming, I don't think.

Mivey @mivey.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Actually, that might be kinda sweet if you are close enough to the screen. It's basically the same idea with curved horizontal, if the screen is big enough, it gets harder to keep it all in view without moving your eyes. So the curve helps make things feel more immersive.

They were probably less concerned about what the celestial bodies are doing, but how the weather will be next month, and whether they will have enough of a harvest this year to survive.

Mivey @mivey.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Actually, I would assume it's in line with the beliefs of most of the population for most of history. Up until maybe two hundred years ago, literacy was a rare skill and most people wouldn't get any kind of education but instead work farmland, where only an understanding of local phenomena is key.

I suppose microphones you can attach to a stand and the cost of said stands are just too high. Or, alternatively, maybe people like holding them?

Which could also moonlight as a non-portable death ray at night. That way the theatre can earn money from both sides of the law. At daytime from law abiding citizens, and at night from the mob, needing discrete ways to atomise whom and whatever they need to get rid of.

just shows that PC was always the intended platform, even if the devs didn't know it.

I kinda wonder if things had taken a different turn if the doge meme had used a different dog race. Like, what if Doge had been a St. Bernard? Maybe Elon in that universe would have somehow turned into a decent human being, using his wealth and privilege do actually do good and not be a nazi.

loved An English Haunting. While the game itself is scary enough, the scariest thing in it, I found, were these four fictional horror novel excerpts you could read.

Mivey @mivey.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Overall I liked the game, and I think it mostly flopped because the Dragon Age audience just isn't there anymore, people have flocked to other IPs and BioWare was just way to focused on other things than single player RPGs to maintain a following.
