10,000 Bulletins: No One Can Stop the Presses! (Part 1)

Rereading that old thread, I had totally forgotten that was where that mad hatter guy tried to pop into the spotlight with his weird canned trolling routine. The true hero was @tulpa who called him out for posting a bunch of racist and sexist nonsense. There were plenty of stand up characters around these parts back in the old rough and tumble days.

That’s what really earned me mad hatter’s angry blogpost calling me a “lopsided strumpet of a tampon tunnel” and an ineffectual attempt to dox me by posting my email address.

Posting on selectbutton is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal and I would really feel some kind of way if it was summarily deleted. There’s history there. It’s not important to anyone but me, but it is important to me.

Really curious if this pans out. An HDMI dongle bundled with a controller and X months of the buffet service seems like the best possible shot for adoption, especially when you can’t buy new consoles.

Holy shit omg

Look at that!

It’s clear that Martin’s influence did not moderate FROM’s surreal visual design sensibilities the way I’d been concerned it might. Looks awesome.

hmmm i am interested but i think this might mark the absolute end of the king’s field lineage of “games for people who are extremely depressed”, this seems like something else in spirit

i think it’s the horse stuff. this has an element of… triumph? that feels new. i think this game might be special - love the environment design - but i’m biased toward From lol

I don’t know, this has extremely grim connotations if it’s riffing off Berserk

imo it looks a lot like what it is – like someone gave them enough money and a good enough excuse to make a new game directly in the spirit of dark souls that isn’t bloodborne or sekiro but also doesn’t have to be dark souls 4

it’ll have been like, a full decade since they allowed themselves to hew so closely to their house style (and iterate on the mysticism) without going off in search of a different hook or labour under their own canon so I think this has potential

I like how their goals with the lighting seem to be “HDR but NO SUNSHINE”
