Another game I'm really looking forward to is Mouse: P.I For Hire There's a lot of edgy interpretations of a certain cartoon Mouse, but nothing comes close to this for sheer commitment to the bit with the 30's noir setting and the animation looks wonderful! store.steampowered.com/app/2416450/... - ThreadSky

If yer gonna do it- do it lime this

vastarien.bsky.social•12 days ago

This looks great! Thanks Casey

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

Speaking of animation, have you seen Bye Sweet Carole?

A horror game that has some particularly incredible animation, evoking the work of Don Bluth and Disney. Seriously, go look at those screenshots and trailers, doesn't that look fantastic?

This one's been on my radar for a while now as I was following the creator's work back when they were making fan games of Clock Tower...

Disney movie meets horror game?? This looks like a dream 😍

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

And on the topic of horror, did you know a sequel to cult survival horror gem Tormented Souls got announced? I think it might've been overshadowed by some other higher profile announcements, but I loved the first game and can't wait for this.

I should go back and finish the first game. I was really enjoying it, then got distracted, as is usual 😅

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

Something else I was absurdly happy about, there's a new Styx game coming! There's relatively few pure stealth games these days, so to see another entry in this murder goblin franchise? I was positively delighted.

I love silly green man!

dredelcaos.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think this game coming again is neat, and GameWorkshop could license a Skaven-assasin themed game similar to this x)

eittherich.bsky.social•12 days ago

You have no idea how incredibly happy this news made me. Underrated gem.

slycaster.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hey Casey, I'm a big fan of alternatives-to-combat gameplay, and Styx is new to me, but I see that all the Styx games are positively reviewed. Where's the best place to start as a new entry into the series? Is the first game a must, or can you join into the series anywhere?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think it's okay to dive into the second? I did.

slycaster.bsky.social•11 days ago

Did you also play the first game, and if so, is it worth playing it as a prequel?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

"Now hang on a minute" I hear you say, "This thread isn't really about those outrage grifters at all, is it? You're using the topic as a jumping off point to direct attention towards upcoming games!"

Well, I've been rumbled, you've got me there. But I do still want to broach that outrage subject.

miraprime.bsky.social•12 days ago

Casey, you've done bamboozled us!

coreflux.bsky.social•11 days ago

At the bsky awards, they've got to add a category for thoughtful and positive attention redirection, so you can win it!

coralpallet.bsky.social•11 days ago

Casey with the bamboozling skills

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'll be honest here, as much as I'd love to be able to ignore these personalities, ignoring them is a luxury a lot of people in gaming don't have, as they weaponize their audiences spurned on by nonsense to threaten, harass, abuse and otherwise make life hell for those they single out for dogpiling.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

I've been on the receiving end of these kinds of dogpiles before, and it's never been easy to handle. It's all very sudden, just a complete flashpoint of anger directed at you for bullshit reasons, and if you've never experienced it, you can't imagine how isolating it feels. That's the worst part.

lurdiak.bsky.social•13 days ago

People who say you should just ignore bullies have never been bullied.

ashleylynch.bsky.social•13 days ago

The Assassin's Creed promo account ratioing him feels like a real turning point. A message that they don't get to be hands-off tantrum children anymore.

bonnicula.bsky.social•13 days ago

even though it's usually the same thing said over and over the sheer volume of it is distrubing
only been in a handful of the grifters' videos but every time it's a flood of vitriol
So glad to not be on twitter anymore, I pop off about shit here that would have them howling for my blood over there

mmofallout.com•12 days ago

Ignoring is not the right way to go about it, especially because that's what they want. They want their targets to suffer in silence and feel helpless and alone.

Also they are pathetic spineless cowards who crave validation, so never stop reminding them that their opinions don't deserve respect.

I've always wondered, when you sort of veer off into gaming recommendations, is it deliberate, or is your mind wandering to less annoying topics?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•13 days ago

It's very deliberate, I try to make a point to do something positive whenever I speak about negative topics, but especially because those negative topics often garner more attention than just a straight up recommendation thread.

laylaspellwind.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of all the games you've mentioned, this is the one I am most excited about. ^_^ I just loooove being sneaky stabby.

vilek.bsky.social•13 days ago

Guess now's the perfect time to clear the other two from my backlog

I've been playing shadow of war recently (RIP monolith) so going from that to a goblin game where we kill humans is going to be funny for sure

slifante.bsky.social•13 days ago

He looks ever so slightly hotter in every game.

serpentsaurus.bsky.social•11 days ago

YO? I loved the first one, jank and all!

zekashu.bsky.social•11 days ago

I really love the fact previous Styx game has released at 2017, and this one is coming this year. Dev team just perfectly dodged goblin-hype of 2019-2024😎

manukord.bsky.social•12 days ago

AMAZING NEWS

cheshiredude.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think I actually own a couple of these games due to bundles and such, but I've never played and know nothing about them. Guess I should add to the backlog queue

sprucegrove.bsky.social•13 days ago

The first one is good, huh? I gotta give it a go then. It's one of those games I picked up on GOG because it was like a buck and it said "classic survivor horror" on the tin.

kurasusoratobu.bsky.social•11 days ago

Bless us for Casey Explosion, bringing attention to things that I never knew existed, and never knew I wanted until this awareness was brought unto me!

This looks absolutely amazing. And that's from someone who's historically not been interested in first person, especially not shooters.
