It ain't real until it's taking up space on your hard drive and forcing you to use keybinds you don't normally use everyday.

Been going through the 10th Anniversary Expedition for NMS. @seanmurray.bsky.social, you mad lad, you've done good.

Oddly enough, they still have me listed as editor, but no new pieces since my "Eternal Darkness" retrospective. Probably need to drop a note and tell them, "Take me off your goddamned masthead."

Threw up some more flash fic on my blog. It's funny, but I've kinda moved away from the r/humansarespaceorcs community as a writer. The stories are still worth saving, though. axelswritinglab.blogspot.com

Are you trying to kill people by facepalm?

I'd cheerfully go for Anthem. Jade Empire, though, is permanently immured in the bowels of 2K Games.

@gandheezy.bsky.social, it's happening. It seems obvious in retrospect, but they're really calling in Dave Bautista. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd29...

It's kind of a lousy Wednesday. Have a shot of a gecko.

@nomansbsky.bsky.social, saw the 10th anniversary trailer. "Cosmos," eh? What are you cooking up now?

I can't give up what I've already chosen not to use. The author of that asinine question strikes me as the sort of person to complain their cup holder isn't working and they can't find the "Any" key.

Perversely, heroin would be cheaper, less harmful, and far less addictive. :)

Edward R. Murrow would've gone the other way.

I'm assuming strict adherence to Rule 34, but I could be mistaken.

Quel surprise. The pet food CEO running GameStop doesn't care about games. Who would have suspected?

That does sound like a special corner of a very unique sort of Hell.

Should have been a lager instead of an IPA.

I'm assuming it's a really good story.

I'd say it's time to start my own site. But I'm broke and Google has pretty much shot the mechanics of SEO through the head with their AI shenanigans.

Dare I ask what fresh hell this is going to be?

You've got a catchy title, I'll give you that.

000

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Dude, that's not a game. That's an idea for a game, and nobody ever got laid over an idea for a game.

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I'll give you a "bad" example. "WtA: Earthblood" had two major hubs. The first one, you were forced to return to it after every mission, and nothing changed. The second one, no forced return, no changes as such but a lot of character interactions that got missed if you didn't.

Is this...is this a phone bot having a stroke? Did mention smelling toast?

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

This would have occasioned not just a "fuck, no!" from me, but initiated an active effort to find every insider, cultivate any possible source, and locate every leaker I could from within Ubisoft to ensure they couldn't go to the bathroom without it being a major news story. Fuck you, Yves!

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I'm torn. On the one hand, a mix of "Star Wars" and "XCOM" is definitely in my wheelhouse. On the other hand,I'm not a big fan of EA right at this moment. Might sleep on this one.

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Far as fighting games go, I grew up more on "Street Fighter" and (later) "SoulCalibur." But I think I may have to take a serious look at "Virtua Fighter: Crossroads." If nothing else, it'll scratch an itch I've been missing since "Sleeping Dogs."

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

"Guild Wars 3" was not on my bingo card. Looks like it's going to be a rather serious departure from its forebears.

020

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Hmmmm..."Crossfire" looks like it could either be really, really good. Or really, really awful.

000

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Haven't played a lot of "Gundam" games before, but "Gundam: Rogue Orbit" looks to be an interesting take.

000

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

The teaser for "Gen Atlas" isn't quite hitting the same notes as "The Last Guardian" did for me so long ago. But it's still looking like a title to keep an eye on.

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I dream of the day I can legitimately reach out to Julie Bell and ask, "Can I commission you for some book covers?" I have no doubt they would be awesome.

Axel Cushing @ravingarmy.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

It does seem oddly improbable.

"From My Gun To Your Lips" works well as both a Western and a film noir title.
