Whenever it's October and puppet combo is not releasing a game, all other gamers should be asking, "where's puppet combo?"

Yes…this is the sort of thing I enjoy

God I’m tempted to download Yooka Replaylee even though it’s getting a REAL physical Switch 2 edition in December. Must hold out

In my very first impressions while streaming the intro to friends I kept blabbing on about how it felt strangely similar to mastering tricky spots in skate. Couldn't get it out of my mind

mingyjongo @dungus.bsky.social · 1d

true. That was the secret to why skate felt so revelatory in '07 and to extrapolate a bit, even something like baby steps felt so exciting/new for this reason

when I learned how the controls were last night I'll admit I reacted with the typical blustery "wtf it's not like skate?" before ultimately going "ok, cool"

My problem is I am looking for a skate successor. Session ain't it, OlliOlli was the only thing close imo and RIP roll7

Highly recommend Slow Learners podcast if you loved OBAA and maybe decided to read Vineland recently

My pitch for this game other than it being a top shelf indie fps (coming from someone who's played a shitload of them), but specifically it is very re4-like which helps it stand out in the boomershooter scene. And who doesn't like re4??

Been thinking about getting this. I started Look Outside btw, real good so far.

To the younger generations: I’m sorry. We wanted to know whether we Could generate fake videos of will smith eating spaghetti...but we never stopped to ask if we Should.

it is not polite to say so but no discussion of the state of the games industry/press can really avoid the reality that the audience is just. really really bad.

nooo I love the limit. The inventory management is so good in this game

mingyjongo @dungus.bsky.social · 3d

My number one recommendation is to make a little hub somewhere for dropping your extra items. Mainly because I’m a hoarder and it pleases me to organize it all. There’s one room outside the elevator in maintenance that is pretty much the perfect central location

Bunker is da best. Love how tactile and systemic it is. By the end you have complete mastery of the map and a nest full of resources, it’s almost a shame to leave. A fella can get real cozy in that bunker

Very. Not enough talk about this game, I fear many are writing it off as “streamer ragebait” when it is in fact a beautiful grand adventure. Feels appropriately AAA even as it skewers those same conventions

I once stood at a high point to survey the land with distant watchtowers on my left and right - they were the same watchtower. Real good shit
