Hello! I made a video about this little theory that has been brewing in the back of my mind lately. What if Grand Theft Auto VI actually discourages players from violence? youtu.be/xccTHPi2FAQ?... #grandtheftauto6 #gta6 #videogames #gaming

Could GTA VI actually DISCOURAGE violence?

I haven't posted any stories for a while, BUT... I wrote something shorter so I might as well post it 🐥 Inspired by the 2024 Nosferatu, I wrote my take on the story, so if you're up for some gothic psychological horror :3 👉 www.wattpad.com/story/389101... #writing #nosferatu #roberteggers #vampire

8 long years ago, Muschietti's IT was the movie that made me fall in love with horror. I still remember that feeling of seeing a glimpse of curiosity through the fear. Watching #ITWelcomeToDerry today feels like a weird full-circle moment for me. Looking at how far I've come.

I recently played a lot of Dead by Daylight, and fell in love with how its gameplay is not necessarily about winning. So, here is my little, somewhat analytical yap about it... I would love to hear your thoughts about it ✨ youtu.be/RI-wE1U5FH4?... #deadbydaylight #videogames #horrorgames

This is disgusting. If you can't commit to adapting the full story, don't even bother starting it. If this continues, in 10 years time all these streaming platforms will turn into nothing but graveyards of cancelled and unfinished projects. #renewthewheeloftime

Spent a weekend playing #DuneAwakening, and wow... I'm in love with this game so much! I have lil issues, like the crafting UIs. They are really hard to scroll through and find what you need. These are details tho. 95% of my time was a pure blast 💖, including this stunning moment with Shai himself:

To have a game this mainstream, and then do something this alienating Some ppl don't like to be challenged this much, some ppl take it personally - an attack on the fanbase In the end, #TheLastOfUs wanted to have sth more than just another sequel, and this insane discourse proves that they succeeded

SINNERS IS MAGNIFICENT ❤️🔥 It might be a simple action horror tale in theory, but at the same time it is so dense and packed with so many rich themes and feelings 🫠🫠🫠 And the stuff it does with the aspect ratio? SO FREAKY see it in imax if you can 🙏 #moviesky #cinema #horror

After playing the game, I strongly recommend y'all to check it out 💖 A really twisted take on this classic story. Might be a bit rough around the edges, but it is really fun, really short, and SUPER FREE ✨ Go play The Third Pig !!! 💖 🎮 #indiehorror #horrorgames

AGH, I just finished Oathbringer 🌟 I was reading this for like 8 months with a lot of breaks, guess Im an inconsistent reader 😭 This might be my favorite in #Stormlight so far, even though it has a lil bumpy structure. A lot of chapters moved me to the core +this is my favorite cover from the series

A year ago, with all the hype surrounding Dev Patel's Monkey Man, I was truly disappointed to learn that it wouldn't be playing in cinemas in my country. I finally watched it just a few moments ago and I'm left in AWE! This was so entertaining, and yet still full of soul 💖 #moviesky #cinema

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is surely a cool title, but I loved the original idea of just "DS2" so much more. Kind of provocative in all the simplicity, and the logo... gosh, that new trailer... 😭 it looks too good 🌟 #deathstranding #videogames 🎮

The Brutalist was truly wild! I love long movies, especially when they're good, and I'm happy to say this was one of them. The way it just flowed like milk, and was so stunning in visuals ❤️ Big, big recommend from me 🌟

I saw Flow about 2 days ago, and I'm really unwell still... This film was so beautiful, yet so tragic. Every time I remember the grand leitmotif of the flood I want to cry. Gosh, that was one of the best animated films I've ever seen. #flow #moviesky #cinema

A while back, I wrote a short fan story set in Mad Max's world - Furiosa and the 2015 video game really inspired me to do it. It is a very cool high-octane ride! If you're interested I highly recommend you check it out! 👇 www.wattpad.com/story/369600... #wattpad #madmax #writingcommunity #booksky

I love the idea behind the "Short" in Galerians. It's basically a last-resort outplay button that deals high damage to everyone around us but leaves us vulnerable in its aftermath. It's a great addition to the game - emphasizes the power fantasy while still staying fairly balanced. #horrorgames 🎮

Is anyone on BlueSky hyped for Path of Exile 2? What are your hopes for the queue time? (hopefully I'll get to play tonight) (copium. I know. 😭) #PathofExile 🎮

Maxwell Matthews @zilbermann.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Galerians continues to be quite awesome! The combat starts to feel stiff when harder enemies are introduced (especially in groups), but in this type of game, this isn't all that bad. The story is quite intriguing tho. I have no idea where it's headed but I'm all in for it. #horrorgames #psx

Dune Prophecy's ep 2 was really good! Well, I still feel the flaws in character writing and sound design of the voice, but overall it's a good watch in my eyes. Speaking of eyes, this is a virtual masterpiece! That might help a bit to overlook the undercooked aspects of it. #dune #duneprophecy

Maxwell Matthews @zilbermann.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

I discovered a PSX game called Galerians from 1999 It is such a vibe! The combat system is really unique and fun. It is kinda "if Elfen Lied was a survival horror game" really hyped to dive deeper into it #horrorgames 🎮
