I’ve really enjoyed Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, but this final boss fight commits the cardinal sin of mixing a fight with an unskippable cutscene. TWO, in fact. Ruined the game. What a shame.

Hmm, #TheOuterWorlds2 opening is far less charming than the first game.

@wayforward.bsky.social’s Yars Rising is a fun little metroidvania with cool Yars Revenge based hacking minigames, but it is sadly slightly buggy. It made me realise how bug free games are these days. You don’t really see collision glitches, incorrect animations or unresponsive controls anymore.

Excuse me what? And these people want a backdoor into iCloud? How can the UK government be trusted with any data? Can you believe this @liss.bsky.social ?

#RandomGameSaturday anyone for Step Aerobics? I love that the 3DO had this kind of nonsense on it.

There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds - Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

I cannot get over how catastrophically bad the Siam level of Indiana Jones and the great circle is. A black mark on an otherwise fantastic game. It should have been DLC.

Did @gruber.foo’s head explode from Apple overload? He’s been awfully quiet. Perhaps Tahoe put him in squircle jail?

Tried to play Civilization VII again today. Yup, I still hate it. So many pointless popups. Such terrible UI. How did Firaxis screw this up so badly? Why did Sid let them put his name on this? Did he not play it?

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Of course I know exactly what game Tim is talking about and I guess that’s the reason I don’t play those games. I’m not sure I like the idea of not meeting the games’ “min player spec”. I wonder what @botherer.bsky.social makes of this?

I am so done with Apple. Wanted to install Tahoe on my Mac Mini, but first wanted to sign out of iCloud. For some reason the sign out button is greyed out. No explanation. Nothing. It just won’t let me do the thing I want to do.

What a joke. The “My Virgin Media” app wants me to give them another email address they can use to spam me when the website just wants a post code and name. App uninstalled.

Ring in the dog days of #3DOSummer with, uh, Guardian War, I guess! Good luck with that!

#RandomGameSaturday Rise of the Robots. I remember seeing this game on a friend’s PC and being absolutely floored by the graphics. Unfortunately, the graphics were the only good thing about it. The game consists of four or so bouts, all of which you can win by jump kicking. Dreadful.

Today’s #RandomGameSaturday is Ice Climber. How cute, he’s going to club those animals with a mallet. You can smell the fear.
