Truly, TRULY wonder how much of the BIOWARE IS GAY AND MAKES GAY THINGS perception plus wanting to make new owners (aka, government of SA) happy is at play. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The entire AAA games industry is fucking cooked, good lord

I say this as someone who has still never played Mass Effect (though now seems like the time to get on that). I do count Dragon Age Origins and KotR among my favorite games of all time

To call Balder’s Gate 2 transformative to my life is an understatement. I’m beside myself here

Like, genuinely, video games in the hands of shareholders has done nothing but harm and is systematically killing off every bit of creativity left in the business. Fuck this industry. Burn it to the ground and start from scratch.

The older I get the more my mortality creeps into everyday life. It manifests as impatience over the simplest shit, too. Like I’ll be driving behind someone going .2 mph below the speed limit and my brain will be like “is this how we’re going to spend the rest of our life? We could be dead tomorrow”

Played the Silver Pines demo and I can't remember the last time a game grabbed me like this. Incredible stuff.

The level design and routing is so smart, too. The way environments loop around on themselves is incredibly satisfying.

Anyway, play the game

Rolled credits on this tonight. Stellar. Do yourself a favor and play it.

Story- and writing-wise it’s killer stuff, but Wych Elm also demonstrates what makes the game’s inspirations so special. The devs have aped Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Twin Peaks masterfully

Love the art style

Been doing an economy game as Spain and every time I establish a new trade route I feel mad with power

What would Marx say of me

Someone recommend me a new keyboard. What are the youths typing on these days?

At that stage in the Civ Addiction Cycle™️ where all I’m thinking about is adjacency bonuses and resource slots

The Ducks are opening their season against the Vegas and I’m immediately angry. Hockey season is truly back

Hmm, if they blow a 4-0 lead…

Hockey is an insane sport

hey guys just a quick reminder to hold e during your Absorption Phase

Demo was good. Looking forward to this one quite a bit

Resident Evil was super fun, no-frills horror. Really cool RE-ass monster design. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Now that I’m the master’s program I have virtually no time for games anymore so naturally I’m playing Starfox Adventures. This feels like a good use of my time

This game rightly gets a lot of shit but I have some fond memories of Janky Ass Zelda

The StarCraft announcement is about to turn me into a boomer

I fear it has dislodged a Lost-style cork inside my body that was holding back all my old man video game opinions

Finally got around to the Final Fantasy Resonance demo. Overall it’s 100% my jam, even if all the meta reference are cringy as hell. I’ll gladly admit the nostalgia baiting has worked on me

Mostly I’m excited to play a classic-style Zelda again 🤷‍♂️

Just noticed that Kabb stands on a little box and now I'm more protective of him

The thing about Zero Company is it is a very good video game
