Good, prompters deserve to suffer. This video of Bob Ross, a man who would never raise his voice and taught us all creativity is beautiful, being used in this way is ghoulish.

The dickhead keeps thinking he can be the "glorious centrist" so he can run for president after Trump (assuming we have elections again). As a former Californian this is typical Newsom, he's always been a horrible piece of shit.

I would give up my future first born for a remaster of Vagrant Story. Matsuno's magnum opus.

Easily Tifa sent me down the best dark path.

Ashtarte @ashtarte.bsky.social · 13d

Yup, definitely Tifa. My first "oh shit, am I a lesbian?" moment. All time best girl.

Hmm, guess I can't argue that. Though my memories of King Ranp's Tomb make me hate it pretty hard still while I never found Giruvegan that bad.

Ashtarte @ashtarte.bsky.social · 14d

Giruvegan isn't good but it's not enough to drag down the greatness of the rest of the game.

Did you PLAY FFXI? That game actively hated you. There are still bosses a decade later we don't fully understand how the fuck we were supposed to beat them originally (before the HNM stat crunch).

Hell fucking yeah Gravity Rush!

I will not apologize for how fucking cringe the writing in BL3 was with the worst villain in god knows how long. Plus they fridged Maya and Lilith so no, fuck BL3.

So far I'm enjoying it but calling it your favorite of the year seems like a hell of a shout out. I struggle to see how it's gonna match up to Expedition 33 or Split Fiction so far (and hopefully Yotei). Mostly because I hated the fields puzzle so goddam much.

He's not a communist. He's a fascist. They are not the same.

Wanted to finish this set when it was done (which it clearly isn't) but between depression hitting me like a brick wall, NMS update and now Silent Hill f, Hades 2 and Yotei coming out it's gonna be a hot minute before I'm productive again.

Can't really gauge games that aren't out yet like Yotei, Silent Hill f or Ninja Gaiden 4. They may turn out to be giant duds. Hopefully not but it's happened before.

Most of us wanting E33 to win are because it was so singularly exceptional in every aspect and revived love of JRPG style games.

Ashtarte @ashtarte.bsky.social · 23d

I fucking adore a lot of great AA games like Expedition 33, Senua's Saga, Plague Tale series and so on. Not missing anything by skipping Spider-Man or Call of Duty.

Breaking news: Randy Pitchford has always been a hack loser with the shittiest takes.

Someone should show him Satisfactory a UE5 game with actual optimization and it's a factory game with so many assets going at all times. UE5 isn't the problem, cheap cunts like Pitchford are.

Ashtarte @ashtarte.bsky.social · 23d

There is no reality in which Sony is going to charge less than $70 for this. By the time it's done they'll likely have joined the $80 club.

I'll stick with my boycott of AAA games and not miss anything important.

His deep belief, like empathy is a weakness. So don't be sad for him Jamie, that is WEAKNESS.

Instead say it with me now "Rest is piss bozo."

Ashtarte @ashtarte.bsky.social · 24d

This is not a brag you should ever make. Especially when indie and AA games are already shitting all over AAA releases with they hyper-inflated budgets.

HADES 2 IS FINALLY CONFIRMED FOR SEPTEMBER 25! I'M GOING TO DIE OF HAPPINESS!

I was one of those people. :D

Been supporting you through DLSite for years now since I'm a smelly American, lol. Easily my favorite doujinshi artist.

Or when it's a Democratic congresswoman in Minnesota.

I'm going to do what Charlie Kirk told us all to do and not have any empathy for him.

It is based on tag commonality but using that system has come up with some hilarious examples. I've posted a few to my account here, but my favorite has got to be recommending The Outlast Trials because Subnautica 2 is on my wishlist. Like bro, WHAT?

I will not take any E33 slander. Unless you hate RPGs on principle it's worth playing.

I hope you do more with her. Cursed Holy Clothes 2 is my favorite thing you've ever made. 😍
