My new favourite thing is streaming comic books from my iPad onto my big that 65” 4K tele. The artwork *pops* and it’s beautiful.

Community fibre network is down across London. But I can connect to Bluesky using my WiFi - which is also down. Weird…

Not saying they were/are bad game’s but I just never felt they were in the upper echelon of performers of the era. They sat in the second tier imo And yes I know that an unpopular opinion and they were and are very popular. Tropical Freeze is very good though.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the originals Snes Donkey Kong country games. I felt the animation wasn’t great and the movement wasn’t as smooth as the best platformers from the 8 & 16 bit era. The backfires also suffered from being overshadowing the most important front layer.

The new Fantastic Four trailer is not what I was expecting at all. But happy surprise- it looks really interesting. Only thing I can’t get my head around is how Thing is short and not that big in some scenes. Can’t wait now.

Tried for about the 20th time to play Demons Souls. Taking my time, being super careful controlling my stamina. Died. Kept going. Died. Kept going. Got further. Died. Kept going. Got surgery still. Died. Kept going. Got the furthest I’ve ever gotten……. Died. Turned PS5 off.

Hi @mattdillahunty.bsky.social Do you have a public email address where people can contact you to discuss the topics you are known for discussing? Would love to send you my amateur (bastardised) syllogism on evolution and a designer. :) ⏱️👀

@gameovergreggy.bsky.social Really liked the #Superman trailer It wasn’t ‘wow’ or mind blowing It didn’t even have that #Superhero movie feel to it imo But it looked like it had story and characters at its core and it looked like it had a lot of heart from the comic books. D1 big screen for me

I’m going to get some hate for saying that but I’m only sharing my experience of the first hour. Hopefully will get better.

Got caught up with the Okami sequel excitement and bought the HD version on XB for £4. Super slow pacing for the first hour. Bucketloads of exposition and dialogue. Pretty slow start when you finally get into the game too. Definitely a game of it’s time at the moment. The visuals are amazing

But I have to say. I’d expect with the resources that XBox have. They should be able to get it right. We’ll see what happens but there is a part of me that’s sad about the fact Xbox as a console won’t be competing on the exclusives front.

So I guess the real issue as far as I can see is that XB is struggling to make ‘great’ games - despite having a pretty damn good library of IP. I get that. Making games is hard. I’m not sure players really understand how difficult the game dev process is from top to bottom and left to right.

Have to admit I’m struggling to understand Xbox’s biz plan here. Both Sony and Nintendo have proven that *great* exclusive games leads to players buying your console. Nintendo is selling a low powered handheld in stupid numbers *only* because of their exclusive games.
