Lemme just get that hangnail real quick- #Blasphemous2 @team17.com @thegamekitchen.com

A scene from the game Blasphemous 2. A saintly woman in a white dress towers above the main character, reaching her hand out towards him. A group of 5 luttle Cupid type guys are peeling the skin off her hand, so the figure is offering a bloody skeleton hand to the player as the skin hangs off it like a fleshy glove.

what i wanted / what google gave me

A warning sign that says "do not be on fire"

A google query for "do not be on fire". The response is an AI overview that says "I am not on fire. As an artificial intelligence running on computer servers, I do not have a physical body." It continues on for some time, advising the user to call the emergency services if there is an actual fire.

Looks like this one might be due to a patch that dropped this afternoon, rather than the norm.

Patch notes from an update for Halo that came out the afternoon. It notes it wiped mid level saves.

Replaced Innovation: medium Quality: high An absolutely brilliant game this. The unique art style is beautiful and used to great effect, and the gameplay is top drawer.

NottsColin@nottscolin· 19d

Buckshot Roulette Innovation: high Quality: medium A game like no other I've played, this is fantastic fun but limited in scope. The aesthetic is close to Inscryption, but the vibes are still unique.

NottsColin@nottscolin· 19d

Aphelion Innovation: low Quality: low It's a harsh rating. This game isn't *bad* per se, but every element of this game ranges between lacklustre and mediocre. The story starts with a spacecraft failing to land, and then the game follows suit.

NottsColin@nottscolin· 19d

Speedball Innovation: low Quality: medium The nostalgia is real! It doesn't make any huge waves, but brutalising your opponents before you score a big fat goal is formula that just never gets old.

NottsColin@nottscolin· Jun 26

The Casting of Frank Stone Innovation: low Quality: medium A decent enough entry from the Until Dawn devs. I never have much desire to go and explore the branches in these games though - it needs a fast forward for the repeated bits. Bad End Theatre showed us how to do it right.

33 Immortals Innovation: high Quality: high Finally 1.0 is here! This is one of my favourite games since early access. Yesterday, 11 of us of fought our way through paradise, slowly losing numbers as we went, until finally just 2 of us managed to scrape victory over the Wrath of God. SICK AF.

NottsColin@nottscolin· Jun 13

Penny's Big Breakaway Innovation: low Quality: medium A reasonable 3D platformer, but a bit too shallow and not quite enough variety. Just feels a little bit low budget.

Forza Horizon 6 Innovation: low Quality: medium Despite the same old formula and a nigh endless list of minor flaws, Forza Horizon 6 is still good fun. I'd like to have seen some key Quality of Life imporvements given it's the sixth outing. Unskippable cutscenes and inconsistent AI, still?

NottsColin@nottscolin· May 23

Vampire Crawlers Innovation: medium Quality: high Another smash hit from Poncle, the combo system is great and the whole game is a joy. I was imagining card combos in my sleep after playing this before bed.

NottsColin@nottscolin· May 23

Crescent Tower Innovation: low Quality: medium Like a tiny, single dungeon Final Fantasy 1. A nice little game in between bigger releases.

NottsColin@nottscolin· May 15

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Innovation: medium Quality: medium Gorgeous art and slick combat make this a hit. Unfortunately a few niggles like a passable story and fiddly platforming sections stop it from being truly great.

NottsColin@nottscolin· May 12

Mixtape Innovation: high Quality: high A masterpiece. Art. Don't miss it.

this has become an ordeal

Domino effect meme. The smallest domino says "Karrion Kross joins WWE". The biggest domino says "NottsColin raises a refund request with Amazon because they keep sending the wrong size sleeves and they're too small to protect a small piece of Karrion Kross's pants"

Simpsons meme with Lionel Hutz' business card. "Hakuna Matata, no worries for the rest of your days" has had punctuation added so that it reads "Hakuna Matata? No, worries for the rest of your days!"

NottsColin@nottscolin· Apr 8

Planet of Lana 2 Innovation: low Quality: high More of the same, but when the same is so good, who's complaining? Gorgeous puzzle platformer for people who enjoy games like Limbo, Little Nightmares et al

NottsColin@nottscolin· Apr 5

alright so when is Absolum 2 coming out? big up @dotemu.bsky.social @guardcrushgames.bsky.social @supamonksstudio.bsky.social y'all cooked with this one

A screen capture showing that NottsColin has unlocked all the achievements on the game Absolum on xbox

NottsColin@nottscolin· Mar 28

Absolum Innovation: medium Quality: high Incredible game that perfectly blends Streets of Rage style fighting and Hades style roguelite elements. It's a blend of existing ideas rather than anything truly new, but it works amazingly well. Honestly, a dream game for me.

NottsColin@nottscolin· Mar 22

felt cute might delete later

Colin is walking outside in the sun. He is wearing a grey t-shirt with a black summer jacket, along with a baseball cap and over-ear headphones. He has sunglasses on. The patches of grey in his beard look distinguished in the sun.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown Innovation: medium Quality: high The fast-changing maps make this game feel fluid even though it's turn based. Bangin' soundtrack too. It is missing a few QoL features (too easy to press the wrong button and no undo), but I had so much fun!

Arcade Archives 2: Rave Racer Innovation: low Quality: high Just an absolute classic in the Ridge Racer series. Can't call it innovative in this day and age but it knows what it wants to be and it nails it.
