At the rate Zelda games come out, I would love more frequent releases of blatant rip-offs. It’s not going to stop me from playing the new Zelda. They’re like metroidvanias, I really don’t get sick of them. Read more

Wow this is super cool to see, because I just saw the guy posting about it on Reddit the other day! He seems like a really nice, chill, normal guy. Makes me want to support this even more.  Read more

Wait I thought the right always complained when there was politics in our entertainment? Read more

This Metaverse thing is dumb. They’ve existed almost since the internet has existed in some way shape or form. I like it for gaming (VR!) and some other things like virtual tabletop games (D&D with interactive tokens in VR would be rad - animated dragon tokens on a living breathing “map” and seeing your other players… Read more

I thought this was an April Fools joke until I clicked on the Amazon and Walmart links. it’s times like this I wish I had $500 burning a hole in my pocket. Read more

This is really weird, because I happened to go to Amazon a few minutes ago just to see if the Series X was available and how extortionate the prices were, with no real intention of getting one, but when I saw them at MSRP claiming that it would be delivered to me in two days I pulled the trigger.  Then I come here and… Read more

Just wrapped this up last night. It’s fantastic. There are aspects that could have been improved in the interface or “puzzles” (they aren’t really puzzles, they tell you the answer to just about everything pretty plainly) but the art is astonishing if you enjoy surrealism and tech-mysticism and the writing really is… Read more

I understand why they want people to go out, just before the pandemic i lived in a place that hard a large active community of players, that met all the time, and for big events would drive round in like 20 full cars of people from gym to gym, then i moved 45 mins away, to a more rural area on the edge of a different… Read more

And with them releasing Stufful, which is new to Go, they know that people will participate in this Community Day and use the numbers to justify this change, but the moment they do even an bad/average Pokemon they will see numbers dip more than the 6 hour events. Read more

Great reporting. Read more

The only reasoning I can think of for this change is they want to bring back the feeling of everyone playing the game at the same time, like when it first launched, or the early community days where I would see dozens, if not over 100, people playing at the local park.  People didn’t just catch the CD ‘mon, they also… Read more

I mean, it *has* been co-opted. Read more

Having picked it up in a previous Itch megabundle, I really enjoyed Lenna’s Inception, a semi-randomized, glitch-tinted love letter to the Zelda games of the early 90's. It’s far from the most polished game in the bundle, but I liked it enough that I went and bought it again on Steam just to make sure the developers… Read more

Looks familiar

I feel free to add a couple more of personal recommendations from this wonderful bundle: Read more

“Because in order to pillage a village, you’re going to need a grillage permillage that avoids emotional spillage. And hey, some pointillage couldn’t hurt.” Read more

The moment I started reading this I though of Last Man on Earth and then there you mentioned it! I feel like LMoE had one of the most realistic post-apocalypse representations I’ve ever seen or read (PS I WANT A FIFTH SEASON!), and I remember the first episode left my mind turning just thinking about it. Read more

I agree with all of this but especially NO MULTIPLAYER.  The worst thing about being alive on planet earth is other people.  Get them the hell out of my gaming experience, please. Read more

Initial thought: Oh, this looks cute. Read more

Wordle is how they’ll activate the 5G in your vaccine chip, you idiots. There’s a reason it is suddenly the biggest, inescapable news story so far in 2022. Read more
