The thing that nobody tells you about Jet Set Radio - Disposable Media

Disposable Media @disposablemedia.bsky.social · Jun 29

25 years ago, Jet Set Radio was released in Japan for the Sega Dreamcast. In 2023 @qazimod.bsky.social revisited the Tokyo-to streets and wrote about how the positive aspects of a game can cancel out our memories of the more frustrating elements: www.disposablemedia.co.uk/2023/12/the-...

Qazi's here to explain the thing that nobody tells you about Jet Set Radio. Don't worry; it's not as mysterious as it sounds.

The worth of your entertainment - Disposable Media

Disposable Media @disposablemedia.bsky.social · May 20

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently defended the prospect of an $80 price tag on Borderlands 4 - claiming "real" fans would find a way to pay up.

In March we examined the relationship between what games are worth to fans, and what businesses are demanding: www.disposablemedia.co.uk/2025/03/the-...

Do you know the worth of your entertainment? Is it more than just how much money you'll make from selling it on?

The Bloodborne difference - Disposable Media

Disposable Media @disposablemedia.bsky.social · Mar 24

Bloodborne is celebrating it's 10th anniversary, and remains a beloved dark fantasy action RPG.

In 2016 Disposable Media commended its unique identity, and suggested that labelling it a "Souls game" may actually be doing it a disservice: www.disposablemedia.co.uk/2016/03/the-...

Just another Souls game? Disposable Media examines why the Bloodborne difference is something that deserves more recognition and praise.

It's likely an outcome of the wider strategy change to abandon original IPs, announced by their parent company Sumo Group last month, and follows the sale of publishing offshoot Secret Mode

Congrats to @qazimod.bsky.social for finishing Metaphor. We already wrote a bit about it's design; not sure if we'll do more writing before the end-of-year round up.

Qazi says he doesn't blame anyone for considering it in GOTY conversation, but this year has had numerous great RPGs, so we'll see...

Backwards Dungeon Crawling – how not to play Metaphor - Disposable Media

Disposable Media @disposablemedia.bsky.social · Oct 28

Qazi here! I wrote a thing about how my daft brain is causing me to willingly play Metaphor "wrong" for hours. Enjoy. www.disposablemedia.co.uk/2024/10/back...

Start by rushing to the boss and then reload and prepare accordingly? No, backwards dungeon crawling is fine, insists Qazi.

As a small peek behind the scenes, there might not be a lot of new games impressions from @qazimod.bsky.social whilst he's several hours deep into Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's a big game.

Hopefully we'll be able to write some extended impressions about it before the end-of-2024 celebrations. :)
