You do not need to know about lift, drag or thrust coefficients to fly in Ace Combat. You have one button to go fast, one button that makes you go slow, and if you hold both of them together you can make your jet drift. You only need to remember that planes do not like the ground. Avoid the ground.

I keep seeing people asking 'I don't like flight sims, should I try Ace Combat?'. Yes. Because Ace Combat is to jets and modern warfare as Dynasty Warriors is to spears and Chinese history. They're over-the-top action games where you are a metal-clad god of war fighting entire armies & huge bosses

There's a fence--specifically for livestock. You can spend hours running around in the dead of night, kidnapping sheep and goats and cattle, and if you can do it without getting caught, bring it to Some Guy who will pay you to sell it to buyers unknown Just, wild swings being taken, here

the only reason suicide squad kills the justice league failed is because a cowardly executive didn't have the vision to let them add a fishing minigame, BotW climbing system, telekinesis, life and relationship sim, granular logging, playing rock paper scissors against children, spinning lariats--

crimson desert is proof that if you put enough Games in your Game, and enough of those games are built for and by a sicko, you will reach a stage of Game Ascension where everything makes sense again

I DON'T LIKE THE NEW ONES
its a box of girl scout cookies that says "NEW FLAVOR". The flavor is "the girls sell you a box of dirt by accident but you eat one anyway & all the girls laugh, even the real sad one with the little broken arm. So now you decide to come back every week & eat dirt to lift everybody's spirits but now doctor says you're sick from doing that and you say "but my career!!" & he gets mad and says "i don't see how eating dirt to make children laugh is a career, you don't even get paid" so now YOU get mad and say "the SMILES are the payment!!" & you punch the doctor in
the mouth & he died & now you can't go
back home because of the police are there"

Damn, it seems like the year of games doing quantum leap sequels. First Mortal Shell 2 - now Sinking City 2. Just an ENORMOUS jump in immediacy and polish. Loving it.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Stephen, my impossibly productive business partner: the full release of @thekillingstone.com will also be available on Xbox and PlayStation, plus the Epic Store. V1 launch date coming *very* soon. 🕯️🪨🩸
Key art for The Killing Stone - a devilish figure confronts you across some kind of board-game like layout. An eye-shaped design in gold behind him has small cut-out shapes resembling horns over his head.

A bloody stone is visible in the center of the game board, itself with another eye-like design. In one of the Devil's hands dangles a headless figure in scholar's robes. Fairly realistic looking blood trails from it to the stone object / token.

Figurines of what appear to be a family await their own fate on the left side of the board.

Something is Wrong With the Library. Soon. store.steampowered.com/app/3971340/...
An image of library shelves, taken at a high, tilted angle. Many books are on the shelves but there are also many all over the floor. The room is cast in shadow with one bright light source off camera. The shadows look like bars cast against the back wall.An orange and red orb with a negative looking filter on it fills the majority of this image as what looks like oil in water of a darker red spills out beside it. In the far distance you can see library books on shelves.
