It's an extremely good idea to follow NoClip2. It sends a strong message that there is value and an audience for weird little indie games to media and publishers alike.

House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.

The lead designer for Urbz: Sims in the City @bangbangclick.bsky.social explains how the surreal Sims off-shoot came to be and why The Black Eyed Peas tried their best to get out of re-recording their music in Simlish. youtu.be/aMl5fUlDxEU

I love when the timeline gets all Inside Baseball on games criticism!!! Sometimes it takes one bad post to inspire 3 or 4 really great threads of insight that'd usually require like two beers or half a pizza in a hotel lobby at PAX

But also hey, chase the thing that makes you happy. I think going even deeper on that angle as opposed to trying to conform to a traditional review has resulted in really great work from you man. One of the best to ever do it!

Your reviews and critical analysis were good I think because you included history and perspective as part of your critique and offered context around projects that allowed faults some grace and put some shine on elements that were novel for the time, but may be expected by modern players.
