I think Laura Dern got a new record for how much stuff she grabs in today's Criterion Closet video? It rules

A really excellent, detailed review, that's more explicit about just how much stuff *hasn't* made it into this remake - including the Murder at Cafe Alps sidestory, as well as the sidestory where Kiryu emphasises with a transwoman's struggles
Review: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken, and ending up with little to show for itself.

i dont think one thing should replace discord, i think like three things at minimum should replace discord. it being an All-in-One app has ruined so many parts of online.

Gonna need everyone to pitch in and tell a couple hundred of their friends to watch the LP of Gabriel Knight 2 that @shirokumahi.me and I did.

Remember back in October how Discord's third party suffered a data breach where 70k+ ID photos were leaked?

Yeah. Discord can pound sand.

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

the videotome family of engines stole my heart. it was really easy to pick up and learn in a weekend long jam.

you can run the engines in pretty much in any device that can open a code editor.

this jam is a perfect opportunity to learn and do a cool little game!! the theme is great too. go nuts!
The 3rd Videotome Jam is now scheduled for April! Join for ra low stress jam and make something with one of the engines! The theme this time for inspiration is "Spectator", including interpretations like Outsider / Witness / Voyeur / etc...
