*Spoilers for end of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* Maelle’s attempts to paint back her friends. #clairobscur #maelle #adventuretime #princessbubblegum #spoiler

Just finished #ClairObscur Expedition 33. What an incredible game: well written, good combat and itemization balance, beautiful art direction, stellar voice acting and some of the best animation work I’ve seen. The soundtrack is a big standout and is going to stick with me for a long time. #goty

Loving Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Some enemies that you end up fighting remind me of angels from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I haven’t been engrossed by a game like Clair Obscur for a long time. It’s so good! It’s probably happened only thrice over the last ten years, BG3 and Witcher 3 being the other two.

I thought the Chromatic Jar was a difficult encounter. The vollyball minigame in Clair Obscur is next level. It took me almost an hour and a half to beat and I almost gave up 💀, until it finally clicked. It's unintuitive for sure.

#morrowind was the last great game that Bethesda made

I'm trying the Asus ZenBook S 14. I immediately installed @cachyos.org on it. The 2.8k OLED is gorgeous, the speakers are great for this form factor. The keyboard is a bit mushy but usable. I installed @rust-lang.org and my @bevyengine.org game compiles and runs on the device. Will try gaming next!

Turns out I lost eight hours of progress in #ClairObscur because #Proton Experimental had a bug that overwrote my Steam Cloud saves with... nothing. I lost permanent progress in other games as well. Painful and makes me hesitant to use Experimental again. 😭 Source: www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/...

Maelle is my favorite. Props to Jennifer English on the acting! I like to build her glass cannon and see her solo enemies with her beautiful saber attacks. It reminds me of how Alucard was animated in the Castlevania show. #clairobscur #expedition33 (@aliona.bsky.social is Jen on Bsky?)

Another sign that Unity is not to be trusted. The process of enshittification of profit driven companies continue. Use an open source game engine like @godotengine.org or @bevyengine.org instead.

I am hyperfixating on switching all my devices to Linux. Unfortunately I still haven't found a good replacement for my laptop. I'm using a MacBook Pro M1 Max from four years ago. It's still really performant. Apple hasn't made a design refresh yet so the design, speakers and screen are still great.

I switched my PC from Windows 11 to CachyOS (based on Arch). It’s been smooth sailing so far. I recommend it if you are technical, want to get away from Microsoft, but still play the latest games. Benchmarks say DX12 game performance lags 15-20% compared to Windows, but that’s good enough for me!

I’ve been really enjoying Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Even though I’m terrible at parrying and dodging! The soundtrack, art, acting and story are wonderful.

The fundamental reason I'm bullish on Rust in game dev doesn't have anything to do with (lack of) GC, or memory safety -- it's the way aliasable-xor-mutable makes it easy to multithread your game logic. Updating game objects *should* be embarrassingly parallel... 1/2

One of those mornings, almost completely silent with distant Grebe calls and not a midge in sight

I really want to play Expedition 33. My Ally X using SteamFork seems to render the game really poorly so I’ll have to wait until we’re back from our trip.

Congrats on the 0.16 release! This is the open source Rust game engine I'm using for my project.

Words to live by.

Can this get the Oblivion Remastered treatment next please?

early reviews have vindicated my Expedition 33 preorder. Excited to play

I just got an email from Nvidia saying I’ve been chosen for a 5090 FE purchase! Didn’t expect to be selected. 🤷‍♂️ But I definitely feel lucky.

bioware rpgs:

you think making games is hard but its actually real hard.

I’ve been working on my game but have to take a break because my wrist hurts. 😭

If you're wondering what Summerfall has been up to, well... here it is! More details on this to come, but I'm super excited to finally get to talk about this. If you'd like to support us before the Kickstarter launch, please do sign up for details... and spread the news! I'd super appreciate it. ❤️

Eid Mubarak! We’re celebrating the end of Ramadan in Malaysia.

😭😭😭😭😭😭

yes

Post the first video game you ever played. (To be fair, my first video game was Tetris. But Lemmings was my first PC game!)
