Have you ever played Cosmic Star Heroine the way Nolan intended? store.steampowered.com/app/256460/C...
Watched an episode where our heroes discover a stage play where they are depicted as the bad guys. No, it's not the Ember Island Players from Avatar TLA, it's "Passion! Shall we give our lives for the stage?" from the first season of Slayers.
♫ And if you wanna be profound If you really gotta justify Take a breath and look around A lot of folks deserve to die ♫
It's the Steam summer sale after-party with Zeboyd! All of our RPGs are heavily discounted this week! store.steampowered.com/search?term=...
Everybody's all Buffet Infinity this and Buffet Infinity that. We get it! It's the best comedy horror movie this year that tells its story through commercials and public access TV clips but come on! Give somebody else a chance to be seen!
Finished Happiness. It was a great zombie apocalypse Korean drama with a more realistic approach to a zombie virus (it makes people go into a temporary rage but they can return to lucidity afterwards). Also, a minor plot point is that cryptocurrency becomes worthless in an apocalypse. Yay!
The Steam sale is almost over! Time to grab our RPGs for next to nothing! store.steampowered.com/search/?deve...
Junji Ito's adaptation fixed that. You just know a man who dresses in a fine suit like that can liven up any party.
Watched the two Re/member movies on Netflix. Japanese horror where our heroes have to find a bunch of body parts to escape dying repeatedly in a timeloop. High school in the first movie, amusement park in the sequel. Fun, low-budget fare with a bit of romance and surprisingly good cinematography.
I'm digital-only with few exceptions as a gamer. As a developer? It was really cool to make a big fancy physical release for Cosmic Star Heroine with a throwback Sega CD case. Made a decent amount of money from it too.
It's a seemingly minor thing but in the Star Fox remake, zooming into the battlefield at the start of each level and having the message, "Autopilot disengaged" appear does so much towards boosting immersion.
It boggles my mind how the same person who made ZZT, an ASCII-based program for making your own games, is one of the biggest advocates for the genAI slop train 35 years later.
Just realized that since I live in Asia, I might conceivably stumble upon these in the wild. If I walk into a game store and see all 4 plushies, my wallet is doomed.
Notoriously tough scoring publication Edge gave Yoshi & the Mysterious Book an 8/10 score, in case you needed more convincing beyond me talking about how brilliant it is.
Watched The Gorge tonight. Slow burn in the first half and then the second half turned into over-the-top Resident Evil meets Bloodborne action. Decent fun time.
