Well, I respect your opinion and the beautiful game you made (definitely GOTY btw) but... there's is 100% a correct ending. No doubt on that

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead writer says "there is no correct ending" to the French JRPG: "Both are heartbreaking in their own ways"

Neither of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's endings is canon, according to the dev team

Thanks to my neighbor for getting rid of his furniture, allowing me to finally make a "nerd-corner" in my apartment 🙃
If you also have one, let me see! 👇

Picture of a furniture, composed of 4 square compartments. Each of those is filled with "nerd stuff" such as legos, DnD books, figurines, plushies, and merch from different video games and universes (to name them: Mario, Fallout, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Star Wars, D&D, Apex Legends and Chants of Sennaar...).

Of course, internet has no problem all week while I'm at work, but decides to give up on stream day...
Oh well, I'll pull up a book and cry in silence, it's fine...

Me, terrified by horror games, but still supporting indie devs because they deserve it 💀

What a super interesting article on video games and a great explanation on what could be considered Indie / AA / AAA - very much worth the read if you are interested in games in general 🤔

By the way, what’s a AA?

Instead of fuzzy labels like 'indie' and 'AA', we propose a new data-driven system to classify video games based on their actual production scope. This new framework reveals the real economic and crea...

And yes, before you ask, it joins the collection of the 20 other Star Wars sets that are still sealed because I lack the space to build and display them 😭

There is NO WAY that Expedition 33 is not GOTY this year.
It's such a masterpiece it's even hard to put it into words 😱

AazorX @aazorx.bsky.social · 29d

Also, why is it that on my day off, I managed to wake up without issue, about 2h30 earlier than when I gotta go to work? 🤷‍♂️ welp guess I have some youtube time for myself then hehe

I dream of a second Clair obscur that lets you play as the other Expeditions. Like, you know you will not make it, but just learning more about the previous ones sounds so cool to me 😱

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sequel or DLC confirmed: it's only "one of the stories that we want to tell"

Sandfall Interactive are making a follow-up to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but whether it's a sequel or a sizeable DLC pack remains to be seen.

Okay, I'm not too active on YT, so I really have no idea 🤷‍♂️
I was just curious if it is something that actually matters / exists or another urban legend like the "shadowban" or the "200 view block" 🤔

AazorX @aazorx.bsky.social · Aug 15

But how are we actually sure that language needs to be softened?
I have seen plenty of viral videos or content in general where words like "dead" or "suicide" were present.
And that didn't seem to have impacted the overall discoverabilty 🤔

AazorX @aazorx.bsky.social · Aug 13

Really curious now, which games have you been playing?
I don't really recall last time i played a game that felt like a chore 🤔

AazorX @aazorx.bsky.social · Jul 18

How else am I supposed to test if there's fall damage in the game? 👀

This was hilarious, and this line: "said Jonathan Starris, on the condition of anonymity" absolutely killed me 🤣

Great article! It's an easy read, really enjoyable!
I loved the little teasers (without spoil) on the different mentioned games!
I really like that genre and have already played plenty of the games mentioned there, but I'll gladly add the rest to my wishlist now 😁
