South of Midnight is packed with dark, gothic folklore you probably shouldn’t go digging into. Haints, boo hags, mythical creatures... All lurking in the shadows. Oh! it’s 30% off on Steam. Just saying. 👀 #SouthOfMidnight #Halloween #SouthernGothic #Folklore #IndieDev

qtp with your favorite Pokémon (wrong answers only)

every time there’s a new influencer or podcaster or YouTuber controversy, I realize how much of the Internet I don’t know exists until it’s forced upon me by social media

I have three WoW: Forever Invite-A-Friend Launch Codes if anyone is looking to play during the first week. You won't need an active WoW sub to play. The code grants access to WoW: Forever during launch week starting on November 4.

Go to the flea market or second hand shop. Buy the DVD of the movie you want to watch for $3. Never worry about where it is streaming.

When you're leader of the third place party, and lost official party status in the House of Commons, you can say wild things to get press. Sure, the Canadian Government is putting up big money across many industries, but any spending on the arts isn't going to happen with the Banker-in-charge.

Avi Lewis, leader of the New Democratic Party in Canade is calling for the government to buy Bioware and safe the studio and its employees. www.pcgamer.com/games/mass-e...

Maybe if we say there are new games in the "pipeline", and they need a way to "build a port" to a new console we may be able to say it fits his mandate

41. Penguin Colony - 4 hrs 42 min Go play this game. ORIGAME DIGITAL never disappoints. The less you know going into it the better. If you love creepy things, H.P. Lovecraft, PSX polygonal aesthetics, incredible music, killer sound design, awesome narration and penguins then this is a must play.

sometimes I have this morbid curiosity to go back to check on Instagram after being away since June, but I also know I will hate what I see (and also hate myself)

With WoW Forever, Genshin Impact 7.2, and Ocarina of Time releasing at the same time, I will not be available after November 4th.

Every day is simply a new nightmare in the gaming industry

Arkane Studios (Dishonored, Deathloop, Prey) will be shut down unless a buyer is found by November 13. (Read more at Gematsu)

It’s funny seeing American outlets reporting on the NDP. But this speaks to the larger issue of gov’t rarely acknowledging 🇨🇦 games despite how huge they are. Before Avi Lewis’ BioWare comments, the last time one of our major party leaders did something similar was Trudeau with Cuphead in *2017.*

Bookmarking this for my “anti-bike attitudes are fascism in the same ways that anti-trans and anti-immigrant politics are” mood board. People who bike are just another group of people to hate, and they need hate to grow.

I did not expect Double Herrscher of Time. My luck is wasted in Honkai Impact 3rd.

This is after losing Si to Lifeng in Endfield, and going to pity for Velina in ZZZ.

Valkyrie Iteration is a raising sim about coaching a mecha pilot Stat management is pretty straightforward. The evangelion mood is really there and I love it. The demo makes a pretty good job at hinting toward a bigger story I really like it so far. Some of the pixel arts are quite neat

Told the kid we are only buying games that are available on the Switch or Steam going forward. I'm done with dealing with Sony & Microsoft shenanigans. Game Pass just renewed for the next month but I will let it lapse, and PS Plus is set to expire in the spring. Time to move on from their extortion.

Steam and Nintendo are not great either, but dealing with only two instead of four is more manageable for my limited bandwidth.

And we still have the remaining Xbox cuts, plus the Paramount Merger studio closures to come 🫠

I can’t help but shake the thought that a company owned by the PIF and Jared Kushner are specifically targeting a Canadian studio with closure during an ongoing trade war.

What I am learning with all of this Alberta BS is that they want to remain in Canada, but don't particularly like Canada from the results of the other nine questions

Look, I am angry. I know I'm not the only one. The amount of AI slop we see trying to find worthwhile games on Steam is overwhelming. So, to not be consumed by rage, instead I made this list of the most shameless excuses devs have written as AI content disclosures. Enjoy.

pixelbytegaming.comA Collection of Steam’s Most Embarrassing AI Content DisclosuresAs we get flooded with endless amounts of AI content slop on Steam, some developers try to be cheeky about it, to shameful results.

I know media literacy is basically dead, but Nikki from Obsession joining Fortnite is a prime example of this in action. Look! The woman who loses access to her own body because of a sad white man making a wish is now playable in Tim Sweeney‘s AI Financing Video Game
