Brotherhood & Unity from Compass Games.
Been looking forward to this one for a while.
Hopefully I will be playing it soon with a friend whose family is from ex-Jugoslavia and is obsessed with its history.
Learning from 2 different sources! 😀 🤓

It's easy to laugh at those who get paranoid about copyright and believe they have the best idea ever, then sh!t like this happens.
That is why I will never participate in a jam.
Did you know that Angry Birds, Candy Crush and even Minecraft are based on stolen ideas?

The only "women in space" news worth mentioning this week is that many of them are getting fired from #NASA so Musk can shift the funding his way.

New #blackmirror season is great, you fools.
Even if it wasn't good (it is), I'd watch it for the British videogame industry references alone.
It's like when Cyberpunk 2077 came out, I pity the fools that are missing out on 90% of the context.

Post the first video game you remember playing.
Freedom Fighters on the Philips Videopac (I believe the system was called Magnavox Odyssey 2 in the US).
I was very young but I clearly remember the moment that changed my life forever.

I can't believe I am here praising the Daily Mail, but Battleboard is one of the best series of war reports ever.
It goes from strategic to tactical and it shows how relevant #wargames are in representing real-life battles.

An acquaintance's mum once was seen in a local bookshop trying to buy 4 METERS of books.
That means just random books that you fill shelves with.
I had no idea this was a thing and remember mentioning it to my own mother, avid reader and book collector, and she just couldn't get over it.

IGN's new Sniper Elite: Resistance review tells us how predictably the series is in need of an overhaul, by gifting us with this gem:

The blackletter logo of the new #nosferatu movie is very basic and kinda ugly.
It's clear from the letters that someone in the graphic team looked into blackletter #calligraphy for a week or 2 and came up with this.
There are many, many calligraphers out there that could have done a much better job.

Yes it feels somewhat aged by now, but I am proud to have worked as localization project lead on #Bioshock back in the days.
We knew we were working on something special and nearly 20 years later it still appears on most top-10-games charts.

In 1959 the Chiswick flyover was opened in west London. Jayne Mansfield, who was in London at the time, appeared during the inauguration. Something worthy of a plaque apparently, shown in the picture beside an excited game designer.

New year predictions for the gaming world:
-The next evolution for souls-likes is what FS hasn't done yet, which is more varied gameplay beside combat. FS games are 90% combat, which is fine, but imagine an Elden Ring (top game) but with villages, more NPCs, more trading, crafting etc.

If cyberpunk as a genre is short-term sci-fi, it is inevitable that some of it (my estimate is 10-20%) becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is also accelerated by metamedia and meme culture.
