Damn, surprised Hotline Miami made that little. It feels like it’s still a fairly well known indie title. Not Stardew Valley big, but large enough that people still refer to it occasionally.

When I prayed for Jesus to be packin’, this is not what I meant.

Oh well, least I still have Mohammed. Maybe Buddha, too.

I’m waiting for a theater to lean into it. Make it out like a Rocky Horror show, sell pre-assembled bags that have all your tossables, maybe some lines printed out as guides for when to shout, a little plastic lump to take home for the kids.

If you put a spool of silk next to a harp, the fans would lose their absolute shit at this point.

We’ve been starving for awhile.

That’s the great/terrible thing about parts of the U.S this time of year! You can do both in the same day! You can watch as the alerts for burn risk due to low humidity and high temperatures pops up alongside the freeze warning for the night.

It’s just the best! I fucking hate it! You stay in layers until the sudden onset of heatstroke. You get to feel like the Mad Hatter is in control of the thermostat, always ready to change layers.

Sometimes it’s not about being that person, but finding the people who draw that person out of you naturally.

Sorry for looking at this a bit deeper than I really should. Hitting on something I’ve been really thinking about lately.

I dunno.

I’m kinda scared of becoming the crack spiders bitch.

The audience is now deaf.

Until you learn how low Death can go.

Don’t try, your spine can’t handle it.

This is a really interesting question. In my opinion, absolutely yes. It’s a piece of someone’s hobby, a passion large or small. A time capsule of things that made someone happy.

Beyond that, in cases like the authors friends love of Sea of Thieves, it can show a bit of the community they sought, the people they interacted with. A small tendril of ourselves, reaching out and entwining with others.

And, for those who maybe only knew the person online, never had the chance or want for an in-person meetup, it’s a place to mourn. A digital marker of a life once lived, a finished book of memories. The games themselves may come and go, but the traces they left will be there, captured in achievements and screenshots, to be shared as long as a copy exists.

I haven’t had any issues from anything I’ve gotten from them. Just the standard GOG offline install files.

It’s been 13 years. 3 released all the way back in the PS3/360 era.

Not complaining about more Ninja Gaiden. Just feels a bit weird to see 4 after what feels like the series was just left on hiatus. Kinda figure they’d take the chance to get a fresh start, though the plot seems like it’s more a soft reboot.

From the same series that has two volleyball games.

With a focus on “social” gifting including skimpier swimwear and suggestive posing.

With a story that revolves around a rich pervert wanting a bunch of young girls in bikinis running around.

In a row‽

I’d let him hit me with a love dart.

It’s weird to think about an MMO getting a remaster. They’ve kinda just been “living” things that one day die, and maybe come back on a new engine under a slightly different name or return more aggressively monetized.

An ongoing series of soft relaunches with some minor branding changes.

“Will 2025 have less layoffs?”

Gestures broadly at industry trends

No.

Homeowner won’t be mad.

You found that cool doodad they put somewhere they wouldn’t forget months ago.

There’s also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch those “I just want to have a chill time” and “I wanna optimize and challenge myself” itches.

Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.

Blunt instrument.
