Don't you know that a headline needs to include the whole damn article, Chris??

I was in an airport and saw an AI video advertising traveling. Literally fake people, in a fake place doing fake things. Who is going to see that and immediately think, damn, lets trust a travel agent that can't be arsed to travel with my trip? Same logic applies to food, hair dressers, etc.

Played through the game yesterday and so proud of what ND and Marslit have accomplished over the last few years. Incredibly ambitious for a 2 man team and I am proud to have worked with the Marsili brothers to make it a reality.

Putting this out there again because I want to emphasise that if @stutsies.neondoctrine.games or I don't respond it's got nothing to do with your game, we are simply overwhelmed and very small with a full catalogue! We still want to talk to you and you can check out the website to learn how!

Iain Garner @annoyiain.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Just a quick note that I'm not taking meetings for signing new games at GamesCom but will be working to find opportunities and support the partners we are already working with. If you want to pitch, please send your pitch over to submissions AT neondoctrine DOT com!

I remember in the first game there were these real pain points. The forest area on the way to the weather station, and a couple of deliveries in the mountains that were super tough. Combat was always pretty easy but it feels almost trivial now. I shall crank the difficulty up and see how it goes

010

Iain Garner @annoyiain.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Is it just me or is Death Stranding 2 wayyyy too easy? I am liking it a lot but I haven't had any "oh fuck moments" Also every weapon in this game is amazing and no enemy stands a chance against an armed Sam.
