A Bluesky Name

Just added: 5 Days a Stranger by @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social Surprised this wasn't on the site already! It's a great horror-themed adventure game. The whole series is excellent! Try it: dosgames.com/game/5-days-... @pixelmusement.com would love to see an ADG video about this game and/or series 🤔

People used to get online famous by saying like, “Uhh yeah, I love making my HOT BEAN JUICE every single morning!!!” But now you have to say like, the Monopoly Man fucked my ass

The "Bright Qud" mod for CoQ is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

Vienna An Outcry 5 Jan, 2022 Quinn K.

a common reactionary game guy archetype that's existed since at least the 00's and keeps popping up is the western guy who thinks with absolute certain that (some kind of specific era of) japanese games are the only real videogames to ever exist and everything else is made by fakes and phonies

So, the Next Fest page updated to default to personalized recommendations, but you can further tune the results by filters and tags. It went from 'at least half AI garbage' to 'holy shit I just discovered 20 cool human-made games I wanna play in under an hour'. Go dig around yourself. It's good!

NEW in our digital archive: Explore a golden age of gaming with the Colin Williamson photography collection, featuring over 300 photos from game events and culture in 2000s Japan. 📸🗾 https://gamehistory.org/williamson-photos/

Okay, people are already getting really depressed and frustrated with the Next Fest, so I'll say what I said last time round: Wait a day or two. They order the games on the pages by hours played, and 99% of the AI garbage will sink like a stone. Right now it's just undifferentiated and unranked.

It’s fine, no one would ever guess the number 4. Here’s hard evidence: youtu.be/UdtbotWl4T8?...

Tapping the sign because people are continuing to crash out and declare all videogames dead again.

Anthology Of The Killer

Came across walk at MängudeÖÖ in Tallinn, Estonia & genuinely think it might be my game of the year. It is painfully elegant, super simple, beautifully executed, the feelings just burst out of it, and it is engaging for exactly how long it lasts. It's like €2. store.steampowered.com/app/4563880/...

Flute was thoroughly eliminated from rock music in an event that historians now refer to as the Jethro Cull

I’m glad to see a public statement about this from the organisers of MIGW, who have been helpful and supportive since this all started. This is a good summary of everything that has happened so far.

Australian indie game community organisation Freeplay has been accused of discrimination following the removal of a sponsor hours before its annual showcase event. The organisers of Melbourne International Games Week, which it was part of, have called it "a clear breach" of its code of conduct.

the default key to use the light augmentation in deus ex is f12 which is also the stream screenshot key. so here's all of the times i used the flashlight in my last playthrough of deus ex

Reposting because the international embargo has come up overnight. After 24 hours of being yelled at by dweebs, it turns out that we were a lot more kind to it than most critics were. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wake up and our silly little site about decompiling video games has made the news this article is extremely misleading, y'all should just read the statement on decomp.dev, but I digress

One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age

I’m still waiting for a public statement regarding this incident and an apology from Freeplay and their board members.

In which I discuss my hands-on experiences with Alien: Isolation 2, Total War: Warhammer 40k, & Stranger Than Heaven over a general visual rundown of my PAX Aus 2026 weekend:

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.

Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

Fewer blockbusters, no monoculture, fragmented but also huge. The entire industry 30 years ago essentially could fit in and hide in a niche today.

I'm always in awe of the job @alicedkc.bsky.social and co. do with PAX Together, making it a friendly supportive environment with a lot of interesting panels on top. But also this year I got so many prizes I have to spend my extra time in Melbourne at a post office mailing them back to myself.

The theme I got from the games on show at PAX Australia is an overwhelming rejection of generative AI. It makes the slop-forward ones stick out like a sore thumb.

you think this is like being a vampire? oh no i touched AI guess now i have to bend over if everyone uses AI, then I'll make everyone's lives difficult, even if i slip up here and there
