I hoped the people running bluesky would be different than *points at every other person behind a social media company*, but it seems like there just is no hope for these kinds of platforms. I don't need this shit, and my life will be better without it. Tschüss!

The fact they refer to FFVI as FF3 is enough for me not to get it. Why be purposely obtuse and possibly mislead a bunch of people by using a name exclusive to North America?

I wish these people were knowledgeable enough to know that Luddite is not an insult.

Most people cut their teeth on jank-ass pirated floppies/CDs played on their parents' work PC, or on those 500 in 1 type of weird games.

Yup, in Portugal Nintendo was mostly a handheld thing up until the Wii. Sega was mostly dominant in the home console market until PlayStation came along and turned it into Sonyland. I haven't played a single Zelda game and the only Mario I've played is Super Mario Bros. for like 1 hour.

They do go deeper and contextualize and comment on the work with their own experiences and philosophical/theological knowledge of the works that inspired the games, so I wouldn't reduce them to just recapping or adding trivia, but it doesn't fit the bill for what you're looking for for sure.

I really enjoy @resonantarc.bsky.social as long form exploration of the themes, character, narrative, and broader philosophy of games. Not so much a media analysis or a critical discussion though.

Tomorrow is #gamescom day baby. Spätzle, Spezi, Brezel, Kölsch und Kaiserschmarrn erwarten mich...ach ja, und Videospiele natürlich auch.

"Have you heard the tale of Captain DeMorgan? Gather ‘round and learn of her journey… of how all that she saw was never enough." A preview of the one-shot I wrote (!!!) and colored for @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social's WISH UPON A STAR anthology! Art by the amazing @pablomcollar.bsky.social! ✨🚀
A comic page with HAPPINESS AT THE END OF THE WORLD written at the top. The first panel, which takes up most of the pages, shows a spaceship in gold and white approaching an asteroid, dust moving away from where it's landing. The 2nd panel, at the bottom, shows the main character inside the ship, a woman with brown hair, illuminated by the blue light of the ship's controls.

I love this game to death. The ending made me bawl. Shame it takes so long to get going and to get through it, don't know if I'll ever find the time and will to replay it. Somehow it makes the original experience even more magical.

This is criminal. Pastéis de nata should be released back into the wild when they are caught this small. If this keeps up, soon we will have no more of these beautiful specimens in this world. Truly grim

I mean... I know it's not what you're looking for, but every chance I get to mention the Sly Cooper franchise even tangentially, I will. Lots of heists, planning, and stealing stuff, but way too abstracted and streamlined for what I think you mean.

Yesterday I almost got the Jokerless challenge. Got to the last hand of the last ante and missed it by a few thousand because I could only make a four of a kind instead of a five of a kind. Shit hurt physically

Loved the more accessible, short session approach of SoS. Helped out the team that made it for a while with marketing/publishing metrics and reporting. Makes me glad to see it on the timeline again.

What I like about this post is that it could have used any character. However, sans the profanity, this is literally something Samos would 100% say.

100% I've had tortillas with cottage cheese and saté sauce (savory peanut sauce), and it's great. No reason why peanut butter should not work.

I would love it if some crack lawyer decided it was a good time to support these guys. Not because I particularly like Palworld, or can't see the obvious influences, but because Nintendo should just not be allowed to own some of the patents being discussed here.

I was going to say MacGyver would be more appropriate, given indie's capability to just make stuff work, but then I read the rest of the post. Incredible work.
