I've been sitting around on my thumbs waiting on a package for the last 2 hours, watching it get closer and closer on the tracking app.

Only to then get a 'sorry we missed you' message with a photo of blocks front door. Dude didnt press the door bell.

What the actual fuck...

Dumb game idea: 'Stand&Deliver!' - A payday 2 style heisting game where you play a group of highwaymen robbing their way up to toppling a corrupt governor.

I'm picturing Ned Kelly style armour and trapdoor rifles, with a sprinkle of darktide melee combat thrown in.

Tried out the bubsy 4D demo. Wicked good. Think I'll get it on my switch instead of PC, feels like it'd be more at home on it.

Crysis 1: OH WOW I SURE LOVE MY SUPER SUIT.
Crysis 2: This lifesupport machine is slowly killing me.

Man, what a fantastic direction to take it.

Me: "it's getting colder, I should get some sports armsocks to keep toasty"

My brain: [dial up noises] these make you feel pretty.

The idea that you could be fighting with another faction one day and the next the two of you are defending a location together just sounds neat to me.

"Attention - Alliance status with 'Affordable Warcrimes LLC' has changed. You have [30] minutes before open hostilities commence. Have a nice day."

Terrible game idea - Planetside style mmoFPS but the player factions are mercenary groups whose allegiances change over the course of a 'campaign' based on a live-service 'corporate war' plotline.

W/ Clan leaders and high rank players getting more say in who they wanna throw in with.

cursed game idea: Battletech RTS set in one of the earlier the succession wars, where you pick a lance of mechs as hero units for each mission, but can requisition infantry and tanks as more general amassable forces.
The challenge this is to use your mechs carefully, and counter your opps use.

I dunno man, I just wanna put this 'tism hyperfixation of mine to use. Got almost a decade of first hand perspective rattling around my braincase.

Maybe I'd call it 'Tales From The Spider Web' or something just to be even more of a hack.

Seriously, earlier on it's genuinely difficult to tell if ghost is a delusional idiot whos truely getting trolled but by contemporary episodes it's hard to imagine he isnt in on it.

Then there's all the people who played characters, most of whom are still reachable online for interviewing...

There's a part of me that really wants to shamelessly rip off Knudson just so I can make an hour long documentary on the decade long story of True Capitalist Radio.

I think Its genuinely fascinating how the story unfolded, and how massively it changes if you think Ghost is genuine or not.

If I were a more silly sort, I could make my next video about YIIK or Little Tail Bronx.

Just come outta the dark to drop a totally unhinged video unrelated to anything else I've covered.

"Tell me, are you familar with the tale of toys, of the friendship found within?"
"Yes brother. And you with the felling of the towers?"
"Of course. I see we are cut of the same cloth"
"And the King upon the hill?"
"First or second telling?"
"I'm not familiar with a second"
"Worry not, it is good"

Dumb world building concept: time travelers identifying each other by making cultural references ahead of their current time and framing them as obscure philosophical teaching and poems.

Played through all of @mightyyell.bsky.social 's‬ Missile Command Delta...

I didn't intend to play it all in one sitting but the loop of exploring and doing missile defenses hooked me good. I also did not expect how... neat... the true ending would be.

8/10 solid game, would recommend.
