Yeah, I thought the combat was just fun enough to keep me engaged and change things up between puzzling and platforming. The atmosphere and characters are all so great, it kept me itching to play more, and it definitely doesn't overstay its welcome.

This was an early highlight of the year. Definitely worth the price of admission.

South of Midnight is still 25% off, but only for the next 5 days. And if you’ve ever wanted to dive into (or revisit) the world of We Happy Few, the entire franchise is 75% off until October 6th.

Don’t miss it! 🍂

Pretty wild that we got a new Ninja Gaiden and a new Shinobi within a month of each other. Even crazier that they're both great.

I laughed at the PS blog page's template prompting readers to like the post at the bottom of what feels like objectively bad news.

"We're raising prices on all our consoles.

Did you like this?"

At the bottom of a post regarding console price increases, the PlayStation blog prompts readers, "did you like this?"

This is a really cool feature on @moxfield.com. I've got @scryfall.com open in another window, and can drag card images over to Moxfield to add them to my deck. It even uses the same printing/art, so gathering cards for my Rebecca Guay deck is a breeze.

Color me delightfully surprised to see that after 9 years, the OST to Tyranny from Obsidian is available to stream today 😮

Of all the things to wake up to this morning, this would not have been my first guess!

If you're looking for the JBell deep cut? This is it for sure

Very funny to have somehow ended up working for someone else who really likes Skies of Arcadia. Small thing that signals that maybe there is serendipity in this life!

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

Way back when I was cohosting the MEKAcast about Overwatch, I remember talking about the major Mercy rework and how there was a pretty widespread and gross layer of misogyny within the community about her. I think Kotaku even had an article talking about it and how she was more popular with women.
