I shouldn’t get annoyed by this. But where the fuck is the Sopranos?!

Seeing AI art used as remembrance for the tragic story of that little boy has honestly turned my stomach

It is easier to make games for Switch 2 right, due to the lower power and fidelity? I think that this gen developers and publishers are struggling to meet the impossible standards that have been set by studios with infinite time (scale of No Mans Sky for example) or money (GTA VI).

I think honestly they have just minimised reviews as a part of the marketing and release cycle for games. They know their big titles will sell gangbusters, why bother.

Look I know people aren't excited about older games but Trust me, you should really play Guardians of the Galaxy's. It's your favorite narrative director's hidden gem, I promise you.

Al Ewing is really going deep on Absolute GL. The issue I am reading has a lobotomised Shade The Changing Man working as a sort of soldier cultist under Sinestro and an evil Mogo. Don't love the art, but the story is so high concept I keep reading it.

I've not seen that much once books have been out for a little while, but glad to hear that people are out here balancing the people who either give a 5/5 or DNF.

The softest criticism out there is on Goodreads. If I look up a book and it's below 4/5 stars on aggregate I know it's barely legible.

I would love Steam filtering to have some more nuance, for example Persona 3 Reload's DLC wouldn't show up for me with the filtering on. Feel like there needs to be a toggle for "this is a proper game but you can see a butt one time"

Sam @sgch.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I'm not out here trying to yuck your yum, I like Danganronpa as much as the next guy. I have filtering on my Steam so I don't see stuff with nudity etc to stop these games popping up when I'm playing with my family, but every time I have to turn that off to find something it's wild.

approximately 29,760 of these games are hentai visual novels www.pcgamer.com/hardware/han...

Ten times as many games are playable on Steam Deck now compared to its launch year
Hands on, and on the go.

My group has finished playing the main game, but we've struggled to line up doing the post-game content. I'm looking forward to replaying it with my kids in a few years though, I bet it will be brilliant.

Big Walk is an exception as I bought and played it on launch, but with something multiplayer you really do want to play them when the majority of others are

Games I have played and loved in the past few months - Midnight Suns (2022), Octopath 2 (2023), Persona 3 Reload (2024)

This year I feel like I’ve finally grasped the thing that everyone has been telling me forever - that if you wait a year or so to play a game it’ll still be just as good (often better with updates) and probably less than half price

This reminds me of the several week run I had on a trivia app as the number one ranked person in the UK on superhero comics. Some lad was always trying to trouble my lead but I always won it back.

These "this is the list of movies you need to watch before Doomsday" things are for the fans who want to get the most out of it, but I guarantee that when I watch Doomsday with my MCU-avoidant wife she will completely get it.

Sam @sgch.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
These movies spend so much time hitting you over the head with the backstory and re-explaining things that unless you're half watching it while scrolling on your phone you'll get it fine.

Weird question, but is there an option to do anything about the RNG on attacks? Midnight Suns is one of my all-time favourite games and a huge part of why the combat really sold me is it doing away with the chance to miss on attacks. Just feel you can be so much more tactical.

Been hearing a lot of good things about @stephwilliams.bsky.social Supergirl, and after enjoying the Supergirl day free issue earlier this year I finally got around to read the first few issues - and it's so much fun! I'm going to be catching up on this one ASAP.

Since I have started driving more after moving away from easy public transport I have started to wear my earbuds less and I can categorically 100% say I have never heard anything worthwhile without them in.

I really wanted to like Final Crisis. Back in 2008 I was ambivalent on Morrison, I think after an overly pretentious writing teacher I had an aversion to things that tried to be a bit more high falutin’ After seeing our tastes match, I’ll give it another go on Infinite.

I loved every single storyline in 52. I remember the Supernova reveal and the Sobek twist so so vividly. And Rip’s chalkboard! I spent hours pouring over that across the year, trying to tie in events from later in the story to it. The Booster Gold series that followed was truly excellent too.

... we would all take turns reading each individual issue and then talk about for the whole rest of the shift. This and Geoff Johns Green Lantern events Sinestro War and Blackest Night are some of my fondest comic reading memories of my 20s. A group of nerds all enjoying comics together.

What a truly fantastic book, while I think it would still hold up I have to imagine the weekly experience of reading it is a huge part of why I personally love it. I was working in a CeX at the time with a bunch of other comic book geeks, with a comic shop behind the shop, and...

They've said they worked well together and collaborated well. Amazon won't let IOI self-publish a sequel like they did with First Light, but it made a ton of money so we will see a sequel and I would be willing to be we see it in 3 years with the finale of the trilogy on whatever the next gen is
