Ahead of the GOTY season, I’m hoping hardcore fans can embrace that with over ten thousand games each year, the age of group think and consensus is gone. Which rules. Now everybody can have their own favorite thing!

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

A genuine ✨all-timer✨, in case you missed it. I finished it, told my wife to stop what she was doing and play it, and she agreed; this game has the narrative juice!
Had a lot of fun revisiting Pentiment for GR✨️ It really is one of the best detective games of the past decade
Pentiment's medieval setting remains the perfect backdrop for a detective tale focused on faith and truth
Anniversary | Pentiment remains one of the best detective games of all time, and a major part of why is directly linked to its setting

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Finished BallxPit; here's my thoughts from my video game diary/log;
It took me longer than I expected to get sucked into BallxPit. This is more of a Vampire Survivors or a Balatro, very much a "oh wow, it feels great to see numbers go up and things get melted by the end of a run" sort of game.(1/2)

BallxPit is a good time! It took a minute for it to sink it's hooks into me, but I may end up hitting credits after all. Having a good time with it, just unsure if I want to instead poke at a bunch of other games in my 2025 backlog.
