It's amazing how quickly my eyes glaze over upon seeing 3 upgrades in a game trailer these days.

Playing a recent JRPG at the moment and it did a big shocking character death about ten hours in and it might've had more impact if the character had been on the box art and maybe been a character I could control rather than just standing at the side of fights being like "yeah, go for it!".

What could be better than one copy of Ken Russell’s most likely bad debut novel you impulse bought?

New hobby - pestering my local cinema to screen films that only like 5 people will want to see.

I do feel like if you don't want journalists and influencers flogging the promo tat you send them that fans will obviously buy then don't send out promo tat that fans will obviously buy.

My current social media obsession is a guy who does engagement farming about being an “older gamer” so he posts things like “when you were a younger gamer all that mattered was high scores but now the real boss fight is back pain”.

I do hope the rerelease of The Devils leads people to looking at the rest of Ken Russell's filmography like his masterwork Mindbender, the film based on the life of Uri Geller.

I do think a surprising amount of people have flase memories of beating games without walkthroughs or prior knowledge of puzzles/secrets in stuff they played when younger.

Love to see a game really determined to hit every currently popular genre going. Hopefully you get to pick from 3 upgrades at regular points throughout the game.

Tried to see if Gamer’s Voice, the gamers advocacy group Tom Watson set up was still a thing. Followed a link to their blog from an old news article and it redirected to a dodgy gambling website. The Tom Watson story summed up in one redirect.

Remember when people used to like Tom Watson because he liked videogames and went to Glastonbury despite it always being obvious what a cunt he was - bsky.app/profile/theg...

This is why you use random song titles as your placeholder names until ready for release people. Nearly all the Honeyslug games that had achievements used Supertramp albums and songs as placeholder names. bsky.app/profile/rpgs...

I think we need to take that “operas made out of bridges” quote off game devs for a while, has become such a smug self aggrandising thing used to look down on other mediums.
