Idk if it's intentional but the photo mode in Clair Obscur having like no boundary restrictions at all for where you can take the camera is gonna add at least 50 hours to my playtime

I swear ad sensitivity is getting worse and worse on every app everyday, like ads are just opening even when I'm not touching the screen. Annoying ass time to be alive

This game ruled but it's sorta funny to look back at it as an adult and be like "ok so Dash was definitely some nerd's super cool self insert right?"

Every time I write a password down or like set some vague reminder of one I imagine a scenario where I've died in some horrific fashion and a main character is rummaging through my things to find out how to access my accounts for what is sure to be extremely useful information

I think it's okay, good even, to maintain that you love a game like Expedition 33 while also acknowledging that it sucks that they used GenAI at some point in its creation. You can have both! It is not a binary love or hate thing.

So I discovered a fun thing about Expedition 33's new photo mode: if you use it on the world map, you can move it over the walls that prevent you from taking it anywhere. Spent some time looking around last night. At one point I got so far away the water textures weren't loaded yet lol

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33.
Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening.
So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability...

So, like was it ever made clear anywhere what, if any, GenAI was used to make Expedition 33? I've seen talks of it here and there but outside of those placeholder assets they quietly removed never saw any solid evidence or the developers talking about it or whatever.

I'm honestly kinda excited to play as Dylan, especially since we know so little about him. But at the same time, I do hope this is like an Alan Wake 2 situation where we get a campaign for Jesse too.

I hope I never learn anything about the weird flute guy. Keep him at that nice, even level of seeing him just enough to be certain he's real but not *too* certain

The one thing I'll give Geoff is that the man clearly loves the Muppets. He puts em on stage every year. Every show, awards or otherwise, can be improved in this way.

Which Kirby characters are Goofy and Donald
Now that Rick is back in the spotlight thanks to Kirby Air Riders, many are taken aback by his plain name. But it’s actually a pun in Japanese!
Rick = riku (陸), land
Kine = kai (海), sea
Coo = kuu (空), sky

The thing about Metroidvania as a term is that it's extremely descriptive and sounds fun to say, whereas "Search Action Game" sounds like something Kojima would say to describe a game about finding lost cats in a warzone
