This one's quite different mechanically from Lorn's Lure, and the 2000s design is hit-or-miss (like the guns) but still lovely to spend time with.

Showing the trailer for Land of Bad just before the One Battle After Another screening, how's that for dissonance.

Last chance to see! The World SF storybundle has just one day left before it's gone! storybundle.com/scifi 10 books, $20, all going to support independent publishers and the authors directly! Plus supporting Locus Magazine! Re-posts appreciated!

Lorn's Lure became a favorite (that came out last year). The climbing gear is the best successor to the Half Life crowbar.

Somehow, the most impressive part was getting UE4 crashing a PC into a hard reboot multiple times. It feels like I'm too old for parkour games, but maybe it just felt too similar to the first one.

if you're not sure what krautrock is, it's like shoegaze but you can drive to it

Since I immediately recognized the "Train" boardgame when reading "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow", I wasn't aware of it being considered plagiarism until the end. Definitely somewhere on the [pop-culture reference; blatant theft] spectrum, but nowhere near the edges.

Absolutely amazing art/animation, but straightforward (compared to Celeste or VVVVVV) platforming.

Enjoyed Cocoon for the Big Dumb Object exploration, but the puzzles having video-gamey logic instead of indecipherable alien mystery takes away from immersion.
