This op-ed from Maddie, who was extremely ready to die dramatically on this hill, has so many good bits in it, not least of which is the idea that we've largely lost our ability to find joy in imperfect games.

Also the idea that hobbits are supposed to be kinda gross and weird and a bit boring

With cave monsters and mortgages, cosy games aren’t so cosy anymore — so why did so many decry Tales of the Shire’s return to humdrum form? @maddie-b-a.bsky.social goes to bat for the Hobbit life sim.

Everyone Else Is Wrong, Tales of the Shire Is Fun

It must be hard to hold a 'good' game up against an acclaimed films and novels, but ultimately it’s okay to play a game that doesn’t ask a lot from you.

"I did not expect the garish walking simulator from the brain behind QWOP and Getting Over It to place a mirror in front of me that would help examine my isolationist tendencies, but thank god it did."

Given that they share the same developer, you'd think that 007 First Light would basically just be Hitman with hair.

But the big thing @superdonk.bsky.social took away from this first glimpse: IO Interactive know Bond needs friends.

(Sorry, 47)

The Big Difference Between 007 First Light and Hitman? Bond Has Friends

Human connection and interaction is the newest foray for Hitman developer IO Interactive as it explores what it means to be James Bond.

Our resident cool guy @superdonk.bsky.social has spent a good amount of time in EA's live-service Skate reboot.

Sounds like it's in top shape mechanically, but the weirdly soulless wrapper sits at odds with the traditional vibes of the series (and culture).

EA's Skate Reboot Is Disappointingly Corporate (but the Skating Is Great)

The Skate reboot feels at odds how the series has historically represented itself, but the actual skateboarding is the best it's ever felt.

Everyone talks about the Star Wars 1313 cancellation. No one talks about how LucasArts put out this teaser, and then left it to die in the annals of YouTube. Sort of fitting I guess. youtu.be/a1hHT8968Io?...

Physical version of the MVC Fighting Collection came with a tiny little comic book, and I think that’s neat 💥

Thanks for all the new follows! Just so the expectation is set, cat content and random gaming stuff I’m working on is pretty much what you’re gonna be seeing.🫰
