I think game IP owners should be banned from referencing their past titles in marketing if they're currently unplayable on modern hardware

Got a Quest 3. Put it on. Strap was painful after 15 minutes. Bought a better one online. Meta, you cannot have peoples' first experience with VR be THIS bad... It's niche enough as it is.

Rise of the Golden Idol might be my favourite game of the year at this rate.

Continuing to get through my 2024 backlog with Indika

Fuck

Finished Thank Goodness You're Here! Heavy GOTY contender for me and failing that it's still the funniest game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

I'll be continuing the 2024 backlog catchup with Thank Goodness You're Here, come join if you want. Or don't. No really it's fine. Don't trouble yourself. You go on ahead. Honestly it's alright. I'M FINE DARREN. www.twitch.tv/johnhawkes

Going through the 2024 backlog has been pretty rewarding thus far. Tales of Kenzera: Zau - One of the most heartfelt games I've played in a while (killer OST too) Still Wakes the Deep - Feels like a playable Jordan Peele movie but more Scottish Nightmare Kart - It's a Bloodborne Kart racer.

Y'know what? Good. Let 'em continue to make trash. Netflix and streaming succeeding in the games space will be a disaster for preservation. Streaming means no download. No download means no rom. No rom means no crack. So if the game were removed from the service, it'd be impossible to preserve.

After some hands on with my new controller I can say with absolute confidence that the touchpad, motion controls and all those other gimmicks can die in a ditch, just make back paddles the new standard across platforms please! It would be a measurable improvement for so many games!

Don't mind me, just gonna fangirl in the corner here...

Why the fuck is The Bear classified as a comedy? I know it was so they could get it some awards in that category, but to anyone watching it for the first time they're inevitably going to go into it with skewed expectations.

From the creator of the Bloodborne Demake comes Nightmare Kart and I couldn't be more ready.

Alreet ya wee c*nts. Am off playin' a cheeky bit o'Still Wakes the Deep by The Chinese Room. www.twitch.tv/johnhawkes
