So Warner Bros. wasted 9 years of Rocksteady for a live service game no one wanted, patented Monolith's major innovation and sat on it, and wasted another 8 years of that studio before shutting it down. They should be totally censured until they leave the games industry.

Yay! New Hades 2 day!

Anyone here figured out PS5 remote play on their Steam Deck? I see that there are a few options to choose from and would like to find the simplest/most reliable one. I'm not a PC whisperer.

Sounds like Avowed needs some serious patching before it’s up to snuff, so I think I’ll go back and make another run at The Outer Worlds to get my Obsidian fix.

Is PlayStation Network getting 2011’d again?

Does Chrono Trigger hold up? Should I play Chrono Trigger in 2025?

I'm glad that KCD2 is reviewing and selling well, and I plan to check it out at some point, but I cannot take this Hans Capon character seriously. That's like making a game set in Canada and naming a character "Gerry Poutine."

Have never given the Grammys much thought, and I feel pretty vindicated rn seeing IDLES lose what should probably be their third best rock album award to a Rolling Stones record I wouldn’t play for my dog.

I’ve had entirely too much fun today. The online teaching platform I joined to teach on this summer made me a profile, took my picture from my school’s website, and posted it with an (AI?) altered hairline. Nonstop cackling.

Five stars, wish they were just a bit spicier.

Deglaze that pan and use the fond!

@edsbs.bsky.social Friendly heads-up: the Thai Food Enjoyer in you needs these.

I spent the last several days reading this bit by bit at my desk and it's tremendous.

This shit rules so hard. I can’t believe I get to read this for work.

Put AC Brotherhood on the Steam Deck. Looks spectacular, as expected, but the thing that got me is that you see the title card after about three minutes of gameplay. These kids playing AC now would demand their money back.

I’ve basically played nothing but Deep Rock Galatic: Survivor for the last two weeks. It’s crazy how quickly autoshooters showed up and established themselves as a bulletproof genre.

Pete Carroll and David Lynch should have switched jobs for a day, just to see who noticed.

My son’s baptism is today. Gotta stunt on ‘em.

A joke: What goes “clop de clop de clop… BANG! BANG! …clop de clop de clop?” … An Amish drive-by.

Took this screenshot in Red Dead last night. Not sure what made Arthur look like a ghost, but I really dig it.

My latest: polytropism.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

Steam Winter Sale haul: Okami HD Mass Effect: Andromeda Red Dead 2 State of Decay 2 Windblown (new Early Access joint from the Dead Cells guys) Ori and the Will of the Wisps What about y’all?

Smh gotta do everything myself.

Has anyone made a video of LeBron mean-mugging to the Metaphor battle music yet?

Space Marine 2: worth the wait.

So, the funny thing about No Rest for the Wicked is that early access only goes through the first act of the story, but they also released the endgame for it, so I can either leave off now until 1.0, or keep playing and make my character into someone who will totally break the rest of the game.

Red Dead 2 runs better on the Steam Deck than the PS5, lol, Rockstar sucks so bad.

Putting North Dakota State vs South Dakota State on at the same time as Penn State SMU is some dirty, dirty work.

Just logged in to see how out of pocket @edsbs.bsky.social is rn

This game hits upon something I don’t think anything else has, which is that Souls-like combat is better in isometric than third-person. The top-down angle lets you see the entire ballet play out between combatants. Feints and attacks are way more satisfying as a result.

I have been inhaling No Rest for the Wicked with every spare moment I have. It’s not quite accommodating or accessible, in quality of life terms, but I think we’re dealing with a potential all-timer here.
