I’m a big fan of spooky media — particularly Mike Flanagan’s Netflix shows— so I’m super stoked about his new show Carrie coming out next week. But if you like creepy tv miniseries and you haven’t checked out Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, you’re missing out. It scratches that itch for me

I’m really pleased with Silent Hill: Townfall so far. I think I get why folks say its stealth mechanics are tedious, but generally I find it pretty gripping and I haven’t gotten stuck yet (as of chapter 3). Maybe it’s about to get harder? The mood and story are pretty compelling imo #silenthill

People arguing digital buttons are flat improvements for accessibility are really under-valuing haptic feedback imo. Don’t get me wrong, modular inputs are great and we need more of them. But the haptic layer of design is a huge vector for accessibility that digital inputs complicate.

We hare at [HUGE VIDEO GAME CORPORATION] are proud to announce that we are rebooting [FRANCHISE]. We used generative AI in its concept art phase but also a dozen employees died of crunch and a thousand more will be laid off after launch and also it won't even be good. That'll be $70.

As a long-time fan of Dark Souls fandom, I’m delighted to report that possibly the most influential content creator in that space is posting again. EpicNameBro on YouTube just uploaded a Demon’s Souls Remake let’s play, and if you’re a Souls fan or game scholar into the series this is a must-watch.

Obsession is basically everything I want in a horror movie. It was perfectly scary. The pacing was fine-tuned to keep me from ever getting too overwhelmed. It would calm me down in one moment and bring in a bit of levity, just to make the next moment even more upsetting. Super good!

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

Not to complain about having more of a good thing, but I can’t help but be a little disappointed with Slay the Spire 2. I like the new characters and the new cards, but I don’t feel like it’s different enough from the first game for me to put as many hours into it as I did the first.

@gameonysus.bsky.social PewPewBang fan here 👋 really liked the last metroidvania episode! I started playing this great little game called Love Eternal, and I think you’d really like it given the passion for platformers it sounds like you have.
