News & Gossip VII: For Blood and Headlines

The Return to Arkham remaster came out in 2016, before ray tracing on console was a possibility, but yeah if they wanted to bring those games to current gen they’d have to do another pass or two on all the assets/engine stuff.

i didn’t know Rani but i got to talk to her a couple times at a festival where she was showing her game Death Sword and i was blown away by how cool, funny, and smart she was and how warm and open she was with some rando trans girl who had a bunch of questions about NES hacking and noise music. rest in power Rani

rani and i weren’t super close, but the few times we talked, i always thought she was super cool. i will always find it funny that the reason she followed me on twitter was specifically because i was talking about the telenet exile series, and she was happy to find at least one other person who knew about it.
