Consume Me is really great, like so many little dopamine hits. I pretty much finished it in one sitting. It's all consuming and very difficult strategy

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 2d

Lmao I think I'm the last person on earth using it. But I also often think about Pokémon XD such a banger

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 2d

I mean that feels like my entire life XD I barely get through the games I play for work

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 2d

This one has all of the abilities unlocked as you start so levels act like open sandboxes to just have fun in. It's honestly so much fun and you keep going for just one more thing.

If you didn't play Yooka-Laylee the first time, Yooka-Replaylee is a complete do ever, keeping all of the charm and improving on all of the areas it needed to. You should try it.

It's my favourite Mario Kart and the one I was the best at. It massively favours those who prefer handling to speed, and I miss how broken bikes were.

Hey game dev! Looking for Ontario-based localization partners (either a company or individuals) for:
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish

These do not all have to be done by the same person. Must be comfortable working with queer themes/pronouns and complex narratives! Thanks

Oh look at me I'm good at flea juggle

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 6d

I've 100%ed Silksong and the hardest part was beating Seth's score on Flea Juggle. Not only did it take longer and more attempts than any boss or platforming section but it was the only part I had to turn on audio for.

Yes, I beat every boss in silence. I have poor hearing.

Act 3 is good (in my opinion) because it doesn't add much extra but refocuses your view of what was already there.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

Trust me... You want to save the fleas

I got the memento in the village but don't know if I missed anything else. Looks like we're both ignoring the main plot XD.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

Is that the Jima bros? I got wiped first attempt but went off did an optional dungeon and came back.

A spike for sure but I think it's there to encourage you to at least try out the dungeons.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

Yea I didn't have to grind when I played the main game but I didn't really dig into the post game

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

If you want a challenge then go back up the cradle. I'm doing that now and on the struggle bus XD

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

I mean it's an absolutely excellent game and I don't blame you XD. (Unless there is a grinding trophy I hate those). I'm like 80 hours in to Silksong now.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 13d

I tried it once and was like imma get that nail upgrade before I try this again lol.

I've been painstakingly going through everything and let me tell you, you should find all the lost fleas.

Whenever I'm finished playing Silksong for the day I make sure Hornet has a bath and gets into bed at home before docking my Switch.

I am so cooked.

This is utterly gorgeous. Amazing work.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 14d

I have the same feeling. Im in act 3 now and I love pharloom and all my little bug frens

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 14d

The big guys are killing off sites or paying pennies every day and PR needs to look at smaller sites and enthusiasts to keep media alive. New big sites will never rise up if we don't have access. When I was just a blogger I'd get even big codes. Now I work for smaller sites and rarely get big names.

Dude really went in wearing a smock. Screamed at a guy in the audience for mocking him for 5 minutes and ran out of the room with a sword to rapturous applause before someone concerned enough followed him.

It's a masterpiece. Thank you.

I need to see the full clip. I simply must.

George Young @ Consume Me @vitageorge.bsky.social · 15d

They didn't even wait for the game to be released to see how well it sold... I doubt it.

It has a lot of nice ideas and I think given more time it would have been excellent it's soo sad.
