Helly doo sad wee is going into my vocabulary immediately

Quick snack and then it’s Abyss Watchers time!

Build Games Players Love by making every NPC outright lie to you about stories that aren’t true, mechanics that don’t work like that, and content that doesn’t exist because the whole thing is hallucinated.

Is it actually bad or did you just try to order a milkshake at Lowe’s?

Rebinding controls is a different discussion, that’s not what I’m really talking about. But there’s a lot to be said for starting your experience with a new game from the assumption that the devs did what they did for a reason and let the game prove you wrong.

A formative design experience for me was seeing that Dragon Age Inquisition had a dodge roll in the skill tree, and thus making the decision to spend 6 levels of skill points getting to it just so I could put it on O and play Inquisition like it was Dark Souls.

I think that’s a LOT of people’s essential complaint about a lot of games, actually.

Yep. Pretty much every site I know has been impacted by this to some degree, and it has been absolutely brutal. Google tries to play the data off as flawed in this article, but this is a very commonly understood truth for people who work in online media.

Apropos of nothing, y’all should really read Babel by R.F. Kuang.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Endmin and Antal converse aboard the OMV Dijiang: Antal - “May I inspect your weaponry, Endmin? Hmm. The only issue I see is the wearing down of certain components. Replacing a single precision Originium component will fix it. This repair job won’t be much trouble. I offer this service for every individual in Team Z7.”

Oh no, @andresplays.bsky.social , not the Turian’t wanting to do some calibrations 😭😂

a hundred dollar video game? yeah, right So, a while back, I saw someone had the bright idea to say that a $100 video game was where games were headed. As someone who has done a…

New article time!!!

Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up?

Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality!

Are we good? Maybe? Maybe.

Maybe.

Run it.

a man in a white shirt says heavy sigh in front of a group of people Alt: Somehow, Palpatine (my allergies) returned.

Well I was SUPPOSED to stream at 1 today.

But after being absent for over a year, the seasonal allergies have returned. And now I’m doing nothing at all besides blow my nose.

Jumping straight from “Dress Code” to “Applebees” is wild, like there’s a whole ~40% of restaurant quality in between 😂😂

Some jackanapes acquiesced to accepting cowrie shells for a sheep instead of a loaf of bread and now I’ve got to DoorDash all day while my wife works on taxes.

I have not mentioned it in a while because I’ve been doing other things, but I’m here to once again say that Arknights: Endfield is gas.

Nice, congratulations!

Alright, I’ll be starting yesterday’s postponed Dark Souls III stream in just a few minutes, just gotta let it finish installing.

It’ll be a little different than my normal recordings for YouTube, but what the heck, try new things.

As it is wont to do, being The Friend With A Truck turned into an all-day affair. SO that means the Dark Souls III stream has been pushed to tomorrow. Schedule says 1-4; I’m going to attempt to do that, and also in the morning as well. New streamer life is wild but we pursue consistency!

That a game is a live service really doesn’t factor in for me. I pretty much just play FFXIV as if it were single-player, and group as necessary. Play Overwatch and periodically get excited about a gacha for a while, and have no trouble spending $0, so they still live and die by how good the game is

I’ll be streaming this afternoon, gonna be starting Dark Souls III. Schedule says I’ll be starting at 1, but it’ll be a bit later than that as I’ve been summoned as The Friend With A Truck today. But once I get home, it’ll be Lothric time!

Blue. I cannot, under any circumstances, give up FFXIV

I want to live in Ishgard. Just a small little flat above the market boards looking out over the back of the Pillars.

Upload UI for part 500 of my FFXIV longplay

The Longest Playthrough of All Time is barely getting started.
