Kyle wolf @CRXSSF4DE . someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue. it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

Been playing Cronos: The New Dawn, Bloober Teams newest horror game. Loving its atmosphere and tough as nails combat. As befitting any scary horror game, there are cute cats in the game that you can, of course, pet. #gaming #cronos #cats

Keep it up everyone, if we just keep making games with women and pronouns we can eventually ensure that the chuds never get to enjoy a single new video game ever again

Just started up the new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Pretty neat to also see parts of Rome outside the Vatican. If you explore a bit, you can also find a cat to pet (supposedly one that is not too fond of fascists). #indianajones #gaming #cats

Playing SW Jedi Survivor right now. While performance can be a bit rough, the game itself is quite stellar. Also love small touches like being able to pet these creatures, called boglings. In the first game you saw them from afar, but never being able to touch them (afaik). #gaming #starwars

Been playing #OldSkies by #WadjetEyeGames, the devs of many great PnC adventure games like Unavowed (not to be confused with Obsidians recent RPG) and the Blackwell games. I love their take on time travel in this one. It's not a topic I usually enjoy, but this feels like a very fresh take on it.

Done with Trails Through Daybreak 2. Enjoyed this game quite a bit, despite a lot of naysayers in the Trails community, I thought that it acted as a decent extended epilogue to Daybreak 1. So sure, I can understand not being a fan of that, but for what it is, it's great. #Trails #JRPG #Kiseki

Know this is all really serious, but I can't help picture this "payment system" as an oversized, golden credit card, with the name "Uncle Sam" on the front.

It's that time of the year to think back on the best games of the last year. One surprising title I keep coming back to is Felvidek, an indie RPG set in 15th century Slovakia

Especially loved its groovy, funk/jazz soundtrack.

My replay this year. Surprising number of new games I played this year, at 43% it's pretty close to half, and I believe even the other half is counted as "recent". Pretty crazy year for JRPGs in particular, with a new Trails games, Metaphor, and many others I didn't get to play yet.
Mivey's Steam Replay 2024. 70 Games Played. 840 Achievements. 1926 Sessions. 50 Games. Most Played by %: Trails Through Daybreak 11%, Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Trilogy 9%, Horizon Forbidden West 8%, Metaphor 8%, Judgment 6%.

Well this is grim
weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here" the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. 8 135 3.8K 97K ... stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood 5 760 3.2K 82K stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h ... it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors

Neato! Is this using Decky? Installed it recently on mine, and was thinking about messing with CSS stuff. Can you share your creation somewhere, if its not too much trouble?

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

Continuing the theme of petting dogs and cats, the new Dagon Age also allows you to pet fictional animals, like griffons too. #gaming #dragon #age #veilguard

Finished the short demo of Kathy Rain 2, on my Steam Deck ( unsurprisingly it runs great). Amazing to see this fantastic PnC game get a sequel. Should be must play for any adventure fans, and anyone with nostalgia for the 90s store.steampowered.com/app/1466390

Got back to playing more of Veilguard this week. Stil in love with how pretty this game is, and the party banter between Bellara, Neve and Harding is really nice. It's just such a positive vibe all around.

One of the most impressive things for me when playing Metaphor is how open and earnest the game is with its politics. One of the game's virtues is "Tolerance" and so much of the story is about highlighting bigotry and repression. The utopia shown in the heroes book too is great framing device.
A screenshot from the game Metaphor: ReFantazio. We see the "Royal Virtues" menu, showing the virtues of Courage, Wisdom, Tolerance and Eloquence and Imagination, as a bar graph stylised to look like a crown atop the heroes silhouette. A screenshot from the game Metaphor ReFantazio. In the background is a handrawn sketch of various hands, of various shapes and colours, all stretching to something unseen in the centre of the image. A character called Heismay is speaking. "You cannot pretend at diversity without acknowledging individual differences. Some will be judged as strong, while others marked as weak."

Continue to make my way through Metaphor. I really love the social links in this compared to Persona 4 (haven't played P5). The shorter number of ranks allows to make each of them more meaningful, and the much lower number of followers means the game can put that much more time and focus on them.
Screenshot from the game Metaphor ReFantazio. We see a member of the Eugief tribe and an Elda, each with a cub in hand, giving a toast.

Having a great time with Metaphor. Just hit the third story dungeon, and the game is still doing new and interesting things. While the connections to Persona are clear enough, it ultimately borrows from all of Atlus prior titles and gives everything its own unique spin.

Nvidia is shedding value, OpenAI is sputtering, dubious generative AI ads are flooding the market, and signs point to a deflating tech bubble. The great degeneration begins.
