Greetings new (and old) Bluesky fam! Call me DarkWing.
I spend way too much time hanging out in video game circles. My main things are:
Atlus games (Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, etc.)
Halo
Ninja Gaiden (Black, mostly)
Final Fantasy
Devil May Cry
Kamen Rider
I promise not to bite!

Another reason why social media, and especially algorithmic shortform social media, is the worst method I know of for learning about both news that matters *and* the silly video game opinions of people I don't know.
The incentive for outrage is massive. The incentive for nuance is non-existent.

My critical thinking can't keep up with the deluge. Scrolling feeds has made me more accepting of info without taking the time to verify all of it because there's too much. I've always tried to be skeptical but being presented with info all the time I didn't search for makes it harder to practice.

Thomas has found quite possibly the worst review I've ever read. This is truly next level here.
And let us never forget one of the worst game-reviews ever commited to paper. This was in ASM issue 3/91 and ooooh boy... I´ve made a quick translation for those not fluent in what the author here passes off as "german". Enjoy!

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

You know the “If the game’s too hard, just go somewhere else” argument a lot of (stupid) people made about this game? Apparently I never got to the point where you COULD branch off and make progress somewhere else. I never got the wall cling.
So yeah. Not a good alternative to difficultly options.

New York passes law requiring ads to disclose if AI actors are in it

Hot take, but I think if you have an audience, you are responsible for that audience because they're a reflection of you.
If folks are in your spaces harassing other people, especially on your behalf, and you choose to do nothing about it, you're letting everyone know that's acceptable to you.

I’m still not over this… I’ve been pouring over that trailer all morning…
What kind of a world do we live in where they announce a new Ninja Gaiden AND a new Mega Man game in the same year?

Okay, legit... I love Mega Man, but I've been trying to distance myself from it for ages because talking about it is so miserable (that fanbase is more pessimistic than Halo fans)... but I recently decided to get back into it just on a whim
AND THEN THEY ANNOUNCED A NEW ONE OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!

Y’all ever think about how the end of Mega Man 2 confirms that Dr. Wily was an alien this whole time and the later games just… NEVER acknowledge it?

Thank you, Mega Man 9. Thank you for that.
(I theoretically knew that could happen, but I've never had it happen to me in all my years playing these games XD)

If you can talk about everything wrong with the modern world of gaming and its economics but also don't remember the last time you felt joy experiencing something new in a game for the first time, you've been sucked into a miserable vortex and should find a way out!
