@insipidghost.bsky.social shoutout for another great Obsidian interview.

J @joealouder.bsky.social · 3h

Really great stuff and reminds me of how much talent and unique perspectives are held in the core Xbox studios, i hope that talent can be nurtured against the odds of the capitalist overlords

Sounds almost identical to my Doctor Strange 3D experience in 2022 💀💀

J @joealouder.bsky.social · 5h

Was the 3D passable? I'm bleakly interested and the novelty might help

Love how bad Baldur's Gate 3's male love interests are:

Wyll: hot - but obviously more into your friend than you
Gale: alright to look at I guess, but on a rebound
Astarion: hot - but a child murderer
Halsin: a child murderer - and not hot

It's 48 hours since Little Rocket Lab launched, we've been top of New and Trending for the entire time, 94% rating on Steam, huge player numbers, big numbers on Game Pass, tons of streams and YT videos...

and we've still received next to no press at all

The press for smaller games is just dead.

I completely forgot it was even a thing which says...a fair amount for its OG execution

J @joealouder.bsky.social · 1d

Way smoother taking out the world expanding and giving you a full moveset to start for one. And it all just FEELS tighter

The relentless push for the cultural memory of Old Hollwood stars to be about their personal struggles and ostensible 'doomed glamour' as opposed to the art they made is...a far more interesting thing to run with. Be it by song or by critique
