Bit of a delayed one, but I reviewed Hotel Barcelona. It's...uh...not great

GAME REVIEW!

Hello I reviewed Hotel Barcelona, a game that has all the best bits of Swery and Suda's work, plus all the worst bits.

Game Review: Hotel Barcelona

Hotel Barcelona is a game oozing with the combined style of Suda51 and Swery, complete with all the flaws.

Ugh, I'd blocked that scene from my memory until now. I do not welcome the reminder. So yeah, agreed, bin.

No idea if this was universal, but my year 6 teacher made us complete a book journal that was submitted weekly to check we were reading. We could read whatever we wanted. There was no judgement about what we read, just that we read something. That's really all that's required

Funniest part of this article is Ofcom handing out a "please identify yourselves so we can launch an investigation into you" form and then wondering why no one had filled it out

It's truly a mystery

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 18d

Ofcom officials wanted anonymity an article about the rollout of the Online Safety Act.

Tell me someone sees the humor in government officials demanding everyone sacrifice their privacy to access porn/social media, while asking a journalist not to even share their name.

I love Alanah's videos, so you have no idea how disappointed I was when this popped up in my subscriptions earlier.

Then I watched it and, well, she makes some great points (no seriously, watch it)

Apparently my legacy is that I called Farmagia mediocre, a game I forgot I even played

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, the modern day conspiracy nonsense was right up my alley in the first few games. On the other, Black Flag's version of it was mostly wandering around the most generic "cool" office in the world and reading emails so maybe not that great a loss

As someone who has written for a Valnet site (regrettably), I'd be surprised if it was even a Slack chat. Probably just dumped onto their Trello equivalent and picked up by an excited, naive writer who didn't understand that an embargo date is not a deadline

Leigh Price @bobthepetferret.bsky.social · 25d

Jesus Christ.

Although, Valnet, so not particularly surprised
