i don’t care about most of that slop and the art of making nice looking game menus and interfaces seems to have been lost
also very puzzled about people who are excited about an ocarina remake, where i feel like the obsolete jaggy emptiness of the game is its most compelling aspect

but i’m so happy about deltarune 5 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

and also of course pikuniku 2 will be amazing. surely a greatest game of all times. people should be very “hype” about pikuniku 2. talk to your friends. there is no conflict of interest in me saying so. don’t worry about it.

also i know it’s been a trend for a good few years but it’s like devs heard “games should be colourful!!!” and they’ve cranked the saturation up to insufferable amounts? what the hell is wrong with them

I showed a friend Videodrome for the first time recently. I introduced it as “a movie staring a twitter fascist”, which while not wrong, maybe not the best intro to the movie

bracing for the demise of Doublefine. But I’m wondering what’s even left after that? Halo Studios maybe?

I’d love to think that Schafer could maybe take DoubleFine independent, but I’m sure Microsoft wouldn’t have the goodwill to let them keep their work if they did.

it would be a more desperate situation for DF but they’d be free of msft and therefore no longer subject to the BDS boycott

There’s no way Arkane Lyon gets to finish their Blade game.

“We’re going beyond the original” is pull quote worthy?

It’s pre-alpha. They are probably still a ways off.
