Starting my journey through 2000s PC games with METAL FATIGUE. A mech-based RTS. Premise is already big-brained with each campaign being three brothers who for one reason or another, are with warring factions. First campaign the bro is complaining that they are coddling him #RealGamerHours2000

There are more good games than ever and less people than ever being paid to write about them. It’s fucked

I know that recency bias is A Serious Issue with videogames, but I just need to say this:

The past decade of videogames has been amazing and also largely a technical plateau. The Witcher 3 came out over ten years ago, and STILL looks great. Dark Souls 3 hit around the same time as Doom 2016.

Not saying something is "wrong" with me, but probably not normal to search "best software for planning vacation"

College Gameday picking based on the spread versus straight up is truly disgusting. We used to be a country

100%. I mean this complementary, if pretty much any of these games was a flash game in the early 2000s me and my friends would have lost so many computer lab hours to it

Every couple of months I’ll open up UFO50 and be reminded “oh they just made one of the greatest games ever and it will be impossible for people to talk about it enough”

I listen to at least 14 hours of podcasts a week, I’ve used Pocketcasts for about 3 years.

Every day right now it is dozens of threads like this on their Reddit and I feel like people have lost their minds.

Pocket Casts

I purchased Pocket Casts a long while ago and it's been worth the money forever. Now the annoying, obtrusive banner ad has ruined a great app experience. I'm deleting Pocket Casts and...

That’s very real haha

Concrete @concrete1992.bsky.social · 16d

Honestly it was what sort of inspired the question. Was thinking of getting into it recently but the “AI Charlie Kirk poster in the school” feels like a dev I don’t need to support

You can currently pay money for an early access build that does not seem to have updated in 8 years lol

RIP Pro Wrestling X, you will never see the light of day

Concrete @concrete1992.bsky.social · 16d

Yikes. Was really hoping to dig into something

Concrete @concrete1992.bsky.social · 16d

Are there any good, relatively modern wrestling games that aren't like TEW and Fire Pro?

Concrete @concrete1992.bsky.social · 17d

My favorite series I do. One more left this year at least. If you have a project you want to promote and love wrestling, please reach out.

I’m being mostly sarcastic haha. I think these types of comedies might not need the 4K treatment but god bless we get them. Sandpaper im not too familiar with but based on the catalog they seem more focused on catalog titles. The scraps

Concrete @concrete1992.bsky.social · 17d

Wow, can't believe we are getting a blu ray when we already have an ultra deluxe 4k. who could want this?

Was informed St.Louis Anarchy posts most of their stuff on YouTube. You should watch Gary Jay vs. Neil Diamond Cutter from the same show but they didn't put it up, Thomas Shire vs. Kenny Alfonso is the best match, though and it rules. Short, sweet, to the point.

Simon is inspiring a generation. Sure they are a little annoying but that’s not his fault
