C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui, voulant être la rockstar de l'industrie, l'a déboulonnée en distribuant des CD falsifiés aux éditeurs et des sachets de curry extra-forts à la presse spécialisée. Ce mec était le patron le plus punk des 90's. Ce mec, c'est Kenji Eno. 📀 youtu.be/Xu47_3oX1hA 💿

And now for a tangential searing hot take: Sin & Punishment 2 on the Wii might be the best on-rails shooter ever and nobody even wanted to look at it. It was Treasure's swansong, too! It runs at a locked 60fps at high-res emulated, and even maps perfectly to WASD + mouse controls. Go play it!

Hear me out... Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*. So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.

Je suis un peu surpris par la petite polémique autour de Clair Obscur. Il semblerait que certain.e.s soient "déçus" d'apprendre que Sandfall a "en fait" été monté par quelqu'un qui avait beaucoup d'argent et que le jeu lui-même ait probablement demandé beaucoup de fonds. Et donc je m'interroge :

If there were no NDAs all around I could tell you about twenty projects in the last five years alone that followed these exact steps except for "and it all came together beautifully". If anything can be learned here, it's not that they found a writer on a writing site and a musician on a music site.

‘Promise Mascot Agency’ Has One of the Best Soundtracks in a Video Game, Period
One thing that surprises me about Promise Mascot Agency is just how good the soundtrack is. Whether I’m just cruising around Kaso-Machi or if I’m in a battle for my mascot’s life during an event, I’m continuously in awe. The vibes are impeccable, thanks to the talented Alpha Chrome Yayo. City pop, new wave, funk, noise, and anything in between — no two tracks in Promise Mascot Agency are thematically the same. Every song in this game is an earworm, and they’re not going to be leaving your mind any time soon.

For the last month I have done very little but think about, talk about, and play Blue Prince. It's sort of like a cross between Slay the Spire and Outer Wilds — you progress by gaining knowledge — but it's also much more than that. It is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life.
