I think this year I kinda wanna do a mini review of the Nextfest demos I play for the ones in October. So here we go already!

Get your pumpkin carving kit *now* before it's later tonight and you convince yourself a steak knife will work just fine, but it won't and you'll be posting on Bluesky saying, "I just lacerated myself carving a pumpkin. CPSC is going to be so disappointed in me :( "

Ethan Klein dressing up his wife and mistress as Thing 1 and Thing 2 while he was Cat in the Hat for Halloween and knowing his wife didn't know is a level of evil that almost enters the same zip code as his wife leaving a desk job to terrorize Palestinians

Hacks using AI to make "comics" like this sucks but I also hate to think of kids who might have been artists but will have their creativity hijacked by this shit and so we will never get the music or art they could have made.

Funny numbers are shriking rapidly, we used to have 420, then 69, but then 67 took over and suddenly we're down to 4 A dangerous precedent

I agree with this, but also, regardless of monetary value, it's a display of contempt. If you're aware that people feel hurt by this dumb trend and you join in anyway, it sends the message that you don't care about them. Seems like a fair thing to get upset about.

Not to beat a dead horse but i think people who say the Malfoy trend doesnt give JKR money so who cares need to consider Gacha companies comm artists all the time and theres no link to the game or anything the art itself is a positive promotion

Going to give my own takeaway on the demise of Bioware, which still makes me very sad. The TLDR: Bioware was not killed suddenly by a private equity acquisition. It was slowly strangled by idiots who didn't understand what made Bioware great - some at EA but also some inside of Bioware leadership

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

I can get on board with needing to balance your 'stress' meter with dodging people and summoning 'worry wisps' to deal with that, but I don't know if I missed something or what, but it doesn't feel like I'm able to fully mitigate the natural stress build up before I'm forced into a boss fight.

And the boss fights are just there to waste time and reset your combo meter both before and after the fight, which feels far more punishing than it needs to be. I love the art style and what they're going for, without a doubt, but I also feel like this needs a bit more time to cook before release.

Fuman Ghoul! A real fucking shame, because I really wanted to like this one! I love dodging games, and this fits the bill perfectly, but MAN, does it have issues deciding what it wants to be.

Basically, demo comes with three races around one track: a tutorial track to let you get a feel for it, the track again, but now you kill a certain number of zombies before completing a lap, and the track (yet again) where zombies and vehicles are now tracked. Also, there's a UFO for some reason???

I don't hate it, but it's definitely a game that should have waited until the next Next Fest to make an appearance, to work out the bouncy driving and give the jump flip an actual purpose beyond crashing into the ground. Also, who the fuck is playing this demo long enough to farm 10k kills???

DoomBus. A game that says it's being released in the second half of 2027, and it shows. It's not awful; I'm always down for a racer à la Carmageddon or Death Race 2000 that lets me turn my brain off, but this felt much more like a proof of concept or a showing of the game's baseline.

Wardogs really just lets me drive around while blasting Eiffel 65 onto the battlefield to deliver some shit (ignore that I accidentally dropped off supplies trying to honk my horn)

In case you are wondering why so many sites are down for 'maintenance' currently.

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️
