My goal would be to deliver an indie game release every two years.
But my other goal is to enjoy my life and be there for my family.
Second one takes priority over the first, life is too short.

We've been trying to ration Small Prophets out, watching an episode every day, but we finally got to the end.

I suspect Switch 2 will have been the last console launch we see from the 'big three' for quite some time.

I really need a publication to let me review Saros.
One of the biggest games people are looking forward to with an Indian protagonist?
I have to review that for so many reasons.
I want to do features on that, interviews, and so much coverage for guides.
I need this to happen, please.

State of Play for me.
First person Silent Hill with Black protagonist.
Successor to Returnal with Indian protagonist.
Castlevania 40th with longhaired woman Belmont protagonist.
Rev. Noir looks like it will make me cry.
Project Windless is a Veerender game.
Did you folks have any highlights?

This is going to happen... a lot. Not just because things like the Steam Deck encourage a minimum viable hardware spec, but because a growing portion of our players cannot and will not be able to access major leaps in hardware.
RAM and GPU prices are making the cutting-edge player more rare!

Yes, you can shoot behind you!
My favorite player description of it is
"The most fucked up driving game I have ever seen"
