It's easy to forget that games generally took a lot less time to get made. They tended to be triaged and released warts-and-all and nothing ever really got fixed after that point

Silent Hill 3 was made in under 9 months. Now even smaller games often take 3-5 years. We see impacts with huge time-lag

For the record, I do not think that masocore platformers are for actual masochists. At least not when working properly.

They're for clowns that are happy being on the receiving end of the thrown pies, because that's a key role to play in any two-person comedy routine. There's no joke without it.

something to be written about ea-nasir's ubiquity. i think it comes down to how very human he and his interlocutor are. more or less the minute after we invented agriculture, used car salesmen and karens followed in the wake of the farmers and priests

Hey folks, I want to give a little shout-out to Sliding Hero, which is releasing later today. The developer reached out to give me a copy, and I haven't had a whole lot of time with it yet, but from what I've played it's a very neat Sokoban style puzzle game and think it's well worth highlighting.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Just occured to me that Abiotic Factor seems to be absent from a lot of GOTY shortlists, even indie ones.

Baffling to me as it has not only been an enormous hit, but might be one of the most interesting survival-crafting games ever, especially once you start dimension-hopping.

And because games are just coming out at all hours, Neon Inferno just dropped. Fantastic hybrid of side-scrolling arcade run n' gun shooter with some Cabal-style shooting into the background.

GORGEOUS sprite art, great lighting, tough as nails on Hard mode & brutal in the no-checkpoint Arcade mode.
