Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I will forever love VC for letting me have units with actual FLAWS to deal with - it added so much personality to the squad members who otherwise just be random mooks, and was a cool way to get players to make their own uniquely preferred teams. More games need to give me flawed characters. 010
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My theory on the success of the RE movie as a game adaptation: this is what happens when you hire people that actually played the games get to make the movies ...because all the people that played the games as kids/teens are now old enough to make movies as their chosen profession. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Glad to see that #Wardogs is introducing a whole new generation to the wartime helicopter pilot experience. 020
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It's really nice of them to go out of their way like this. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The V2 game of the month - B Side is #Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana! I'll be playing through it over the course of September and giving my thoughts and reactions here. 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 08/09/2026#2OoT Link design thoughts: It feels like Twilight Princess Link's reveal all over again. After the backlash to Windwaker's design, Nintendy went more realistic for TP and SS, right? BotW stepped back from that (thank goodness), but since they couldn't do that style a 3rd time... here we are. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 06/09/2026An interesting question from an acquaintance to consider (and then to submit your answer to via the google form!). But what would I say for a life changing/eye opening 6/10....? Drakengard 3? The original Metal Gear Solid 2? Hm. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Jackass co-founder proves in one sentence that he and his company are not worthy of the grail to begin with. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I'm late to start it, but September's V2 #GameOfTheMonth side A is #AmericanMcGee's #Alice. I'll be playing the game throughout the month to see what I think and how I feel, and updating this thread accordingly. 111
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Happy Birthday, Miku! www.youtube.com/watch?v=K57N...youtube.comHatsune Miku SoH Mod DemoYouTube video by KonaTizer 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This reminds me: it's about time to think of a Game of the Month for September. I didn't get to spend much time with Xenosaga (which is a shame) but I'm glad I got to spend so much time with Daikatana - 15 hours and counting. Even patched, the game is flawed, but I'm still having fun. 020
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'll vouch for this one; it is both pretty queer AND pretty fun! A well done take on the classic Mario style. 0137
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Game dev challenge: get produced by a company that actually has realistic expectations for your launch. Challenge level: Literally infinite, apparently. #2XKO #Highguard #Steelhunters #Xbox #VisionsOfMana #SouthOfMidnight #HiFiRush 020
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Finally, a use for all those emergency coke bottles that truckers toss out on the road. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Good to know; this is exactly why I was holding off on getting it. Get bent, #Microsoft, and take your shitty, scummy business practices with you. 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Like over-privileged frat boys, gen-ai tech "bros" do not understand or appreciate the importance of CONSENT. They are worthless molesters, without even a primate's sense of empathy, and with psyches so utterly BROKEN that they think this is a good thing. 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The V2 Game of the Month for August (B Side) is the extremely cinematic JRPG known as #Xenosaga Episode One: Dur Wille Zur Macht. I'll be playing this throughout the month as well, and posting about it here. 110
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The V2 Game of the Month for August (A side) is #DAIKATANA. I'll be playing the game (with the 1.3 fan patch), seeing how I feel about it, and writing about it here. I might even put it on stream, but who watches /those/ anymore? 220
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Honestly, if you an avoid it, you should never use or visit LinkedIn to begin with. The entire website and its culture are a blight. But if you can't avoid it, you should engage with it as little as possible. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 28/07/2026On the one hand, hell yeah. On the other hand... COME ON, GOG! IT CAME OUT IN 2022! 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I was interested in it, too, but seriously, just do the damn work - they're fucking PAINTINGS; what could AI "refinement" possibly help? And grammar corrections? Do a spell check - or better yet? Open it up to your community; ask for help, take their input, and use it to build the community more. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The terrifying, energizing truth to this is that WE are the ones who have to do this. Us. Right now. Because right now? There ISN'T anyone else, and if we take our time... there never will be. www.gamesradar.com/games/after-...gamesradar.comAfter "incomprehensible" Xbox layoffs, id Software producer says worker-owned studios are "the only path forward"Microsoft is planning 3,200 layoffs total 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 14/07/2026To the surprised of everyone, the #StarOcean IP is staying alive. 021
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 09/07/2026#Xbox and #Microsoft are yet another absolutely /worthless/ brand and company. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 04/07/2026New month means new Game of the Month - this time around, it'll be Star Fox Assault! The kinda-sorta sequel to Star Fox Adventures that Nintendo probably ALSO doesn't want to remember. Hooray! 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 04/07/2026July is here, and with it? The HEAT, for a lot of us. Friendly reminder from Drakengard 3 to stay safe this summer. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Not about to be outdone by #Microsoft's terrible decisions for the #videogame industry, #Sony decides to stop selling physical copies in 2028. blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...blog.playstation.comPhysical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consolesIn response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 27/06/2026"Lenovo warns that you should never have let them find out they can get away with this bullshit. They will never let it return to early 2025 levels." 021
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Imagine being pres of #Sony, looking at recent events, and thinking THIS is the way to go. ...Ha ha! I kid. He didn't have this idea; an ai chat bot did. "Chatbot said closing Destiny 2 saves money." "Chatbot said live service games make money." "I don't think thoughts; I do what chatbot says." 110
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Shareholders mad at how #FromSoft handled #EldenRing. Yes, THAT Elden Ring. The one that sold millions. The one with the movie in production. The one with the tie-in game that ALSO sold millions. The one on Switch 2. And yet... it is not enough. It will never be enough. Their greed sickens me. 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Microsoft is a blight of a corporation anyway, so they can keep their console, their branding, and their shitty generative AI - I wouldn't touch it even if they LOWERED the price by US$100. 010
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I was granted access to the #playtest for #WardensOfAvalon, so let's have a stream and a thread to see what it's like! Stream is live at www.twitch.tv/vidya2 Thread will continue from here. 121
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Take it away, Jonah. It's the appropriate response at such a fucking joke. Get lost, loser #Sony. Suffer the same fate as your console.static.klipy.comJ. Jonah Jameson: Serious Face to LaughterALT: J. Jonah Jameson: Serious Face to Laughter 220
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Even if it wasn't in the batter, even if it was "only just some of the frosting!" you still DON'T ask people to eat the cake. The whole thing has been contaminated; is toxic, noxious, and needs to be discarded. Start over, and this time don't use shit. 020
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Another game that won't even get to see my wishlist, and won't ever get any revenue or interaction from me. Hopefully those talented and experienced artists (if they even existed) will someday get to work on a project that values their work and effort - and doesn't disgrace it with gen AI. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girl, and everything outside and inbetween, behold the works of one of the primary companies pushing generative AI. 010
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I like #OoT and I'm interested in seeing it redone... again. But I am sad that probably nothing Nintendo will do is gonna make it better than what fans have already done. Randomizer, online play, hacks, cheats, graphic mods, etc; probably nothing like that will be in the Switch 2 version. 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I love to this see this. I honestly want games to include an option where you can switch the graphics/assets from "Final Build" to "Dev build", just so players can see the work and progress that went into everything. 011
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 07/06/2026#Sega uses #GenerativeAI for #CrazyTaxi - another company falling over itself to force a technology that makes me not only blacklist and not buy their game, but never even look at it, even after it's finished. Listen Sega, if you're gonna save your money, then I'm gonna save mine, too. 020
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 06/06/2026In case you don't know, @gog.com, here's a lesson. In the meantime, I'm gonna remove GoG Galaxy from my pc. 121
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I played a little bit of Gujian 3 on stream... in 2020. It was decent to play, and neat to see a fantasy work from people not mainly from US/Japan/Europe. Maybe it's time I pick it up again. 000
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 30/05/2026V2's second game of the month is... Valkyrie Saga! I'll be going into the game blind and using this thread to post my experiences, thoughts, and opinions as I play the game over the month of June. #ValkyrieSaga #Indie store.steampowered.com/app/2663150/...store.steampowered.comValkyrie Saga on SteamJoin Roll the Valkyrie as she subverts fate in a retro indie platformer taking after PSX classics.

Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 30/05/2026V2's first game of the month for June is... the one, the only, the infamous Drakengard 3. I'll be revisiting the game, having platinum'd it (and the dlc) on original hardware way back in the day. It's been a long time since then, but I'm up for another round. #Drakengard #Drag-on-Dragoon 100
Vidya2 @vidya2.bsky.social · 23/05/2026The V2 Crew set sail again, but not on the Sea of Thieves; this time it was the seas of For the King II! Same outcome, though. 000
