It's a very fast resource management game and that's ok! ID wanted to make a different experience to 2016 and I respect that deeply. The Shotgun goddamn rules.

I think I started following just before or just after Death of the Outside and then kept following because just general game dev and then Castlevania, Castlevania and more Castlevania.

Academically the uni is currently firmly against it if it's replacing the main skill they are getting you to learn. i.e no generating art for a concept art course. Honestly I think that's sadly going to change as more of the industry at Triple A adopts AI.

Just a blend of Nintendo games for me, I'm curious what games they include in the party category!

Who in the heck would do that? Awful judgement from whoever.

The Xbox hours! (Both PC and Console)

I didn't even click that it was the final Goodison derby, in December no less! The lads better win there purely for the banter at least!

If you're into the business of games, I'd really recommend @virtualeconomy.bsky.social. It's a really fun little podcast that has taught me loads on the biz of games + it can be really funny.

Gubbins might be a good one if he's into word puzzles, as it's free,fun, has no ads and a free game a day or unlimited games for a cheap price if he really likes it.

While nothing specific gameplay wise, Gran Turismo 7 did a login campaign last year and pipes in Christmas music to the menus as well as Christmassy scapes where you place a car next to massive Christmas trees lol.
