Can video game award shows ever get their categories right? @ladyv-gsc.bsky.social, @daraaraa.bsky.social and I have some thoughts on the matter.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

The title is also that entirely because I was thinking about how cool Suda51's "Kill the Past" connective theming is.

Finally wrote about Silent Hill f, the "not Silent Hill" complaints, and ultimately what the series needs to learn from it in order to move past both Team Silent and the cancellation of Silent Hills.

Silent Hill f proves that Silent Hill is at its best when it's not beholden to its past.

It's an extremely good idea to follow NoClip2. It sends a strong message that there is value and an audience for weird little indie games to media and publishers alike.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 3d

We've added 14k YouTube subs to noclip_2 in the past month, pretty much exclusively covering underground and indie games like this. Please come be part of what we're building over there.

House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.

I had a wonderful time reviewing the PixelJunk developer's new game Dreams of Another.

As a game I imagine it'll be quite divisive, but as an art piece I think it's something very strange and special.

Between this, Baby Steps, and Sword of the Sea, there's been a really strong run of PlayStation console exclusive indie games recently reminiscent of the late PS3 era.

My review of Yooka-Replaylee is live!

Playtonic Games have really outdone themselves, improving on the original game in almost every way. There's a lot that's great here, but I'm even more excited about what comes next.

The irony is that they were probably trying to make up for the mess that BioShock: Infinite made.

Still my theory that this is what happened to BioShock 4. It was delayed because of its story, and the only way I can imagine a studio executive making that move is if they think it'll get them in trouble with the administration because artists made something critical of fascism.

The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"

I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm
