As said admin, I've spent years debating the risks of going rogue and turning off the parental controls so I can have access to the good Effin' Birds and Swear Trek images, haha

I am excited for more E33, and terrifies that they think they'll late game needs MORE mean bosses, haha

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 2d

Y'alls are the best! Though after Simon and Clea, I live in fear of what else you have in mind for the late game, haha!

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 2d

Might be my most favorite game I've ever played!

That's surprising that she was a big announcement, but her presence do be little more than a one-off cameo. I do wonder how much desire there is to do a lot more Trek though....of all the cast members "fans" were being crappy, she was probably in the top couple for getting the worst of it.

I remember when country music had lines like, "You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything." Now we got, "I wasn't trying to say anything, I swear!"

Man, why is Paramount so inconsistent? They only wanted to give SNW a movie, but they were able to be talked up to 6 episodes. Meanwhile, Disco only wanted a movie and only got a 10 minute tack on at the end of the episode?

I can't believe you would repost such a heinous bloodbath!

A game explicitly designed to ensure that nobody is allowed to be better at it than El Musko.

Oh yeah, and if it's a big video, I'll sometimes click through just to get a feel for what we're working with, but I definitely feel like I'm backing with more confidence when I can see the game vs feeling like I'm gambling a little more when the page doesn't have anything to watch.

As someone not in the games industry, this is the first thing that popped into my head as a frequent backer. The written stuff on the campaign pages rarely give me a clear idea of what the game is, and I love seeing a bunch of game play videos available right away.

Dude is like a bad foot rash, I'm unfortunately not sure we're ever going to fully get rid of him.

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 9d

You cheeky buggers. I was not ready to start my day with the jump scare of the dictionary potentially betraying us to AI, haha.

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 10d

Oh thank goodness. I was wondering when we'd move on from simply tolerating war crimes to actively making it part of the explicit game plan.

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 10d

Didn't the dems try the commitment gambit during the Biden years and promptly got screwed over? Are their memories really this short?

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 12d

The incompetence would be hilarious if the consequences weren't so dire.

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 13d

Oof, going straight to Ghost of Tsushima right after 130hrs of Jedi games was a rough choice. Games are too mechanically similar with too different of control schemes. Keeping getting my world rocked because I keep trying to block/parry... with the button that's now heavy attack, haha

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 13d

And honestly, screenshotting & sharing idiot posts from anywhere should be frowned upon in general. Sure, you don't want to give them engagement. But if I blocked a person & you keep sharing their screenshots, the only option I have to really get away from them now is to also unfollow/block you too

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 14d

And the final goodbye with Johnny in the new base game ending still guts me!

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 14d

I was one of the lucky ones who had few issues with 2077 & loved it from day 1, but damn PL was something else! I still feel guilty 2yr later about the expansion ending where I thought I was making good choices, and things just kept getting worse and worse.

There's also a hidden third arm in this picture labeled, "XCOM 90% chance to hit."

A cartoon drawing of two muscular men's arms, clasping. One is the Wheel of Fortune card from Balatro, one is the Heads Chance 25% from Unfair Flips, and the hands are Nope! from Balatro and Tails.

Hard to believe it's been 2 years already.

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 14d

Hey, be careful... these last 2 shooters were apparently big gamers. I put the odds of seeing some moronic EO about video games before the year is out at better than 50/50

Tom Londe @tomlonde.bsky.social · 14d

Oofta, that doesn't instill confidence, haha
