Okay, I'll do some recommendations. Signalis is one of the best horror games ever, a perfect indie Survival Horror that's firing on all cylinders, and the music is incredible.

Another of my favourite horror games, Detention is an absolute masterpiece, utterly terrifying, incredible atmosphere. If you've not yet played it, I would insist upon it.

Look Outside ended up claiming my GOTY of 2025, and for good reason. One of the best depictions of cosmic horror I've ever seen, and positively incredible pixelart, I can't recommend this game enough, you owe it to yourself to play it.

Crow Country remains of my favourite horror games in recent years, the visual style is positively incredible, and there are so many truly wonderful puzzles in it.

Once again I am recommending Blake Manor, I know I won't shut up about it, but it was another of my favourite games from last year, genuinely incredible detective game with a striking comicbook artstyle. Go play this game, trust me it's something special.

Aliens: Dark Descent is another I'm very frequently recommending, but you'll know why if you play it, it's one of the most tense, anxiety inducing games I've ever had the joy to experience. Very much does for Aliens what Alien Isolation did for Alien.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

🫩 don’t make me tap the sign.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

lol reminder that betting markets are extremely accurate measures of conventional wisdom

"we DEMAND that we keep getting our treats regardless of what happens to the workers who make them."

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Petra Parker meets Peter Parker the complete thread: #spiderman #petraparker Part 1

While I don't think we need to see the return of Greenlight, it's probably not good that EIGHT IDENTICAL AI-GENERATED GAMES BY THE SAME DEVELOPER can be blasted onto the release page simultaneously.

I get why so many boomers are aghast at the idea of younger generations going "no contact" with their parents. It must be upsetting to be faced with the reality that you fucked up the most important (and easiest) part of being a parent: loving your child unconditionally.

sooo, another case of industry's racism? Like come the fuck on, how is a game from one of the most profilic studios left in this god forsaken industry, with one of the coolest IPs struggle to find a buyer. It's of course because of the fear of reactionary right wing crowd because blade is black.

The whole original Metro trilogy is 90% off, and the first two games just got a major polish and tune-up. That's a whole lot of STALKER-adjacent post apocalyptic shooting for under £10. And all three games look great.

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

if arkane shuts down im walking into the sea, emotionally

This is just insanity. One of the best studios to ever do it, with a big-budget immersive sim based on a major Marvel property ALMOST FINISHED, and nobody wants to release it!? The big business side of this industry has gone completely mad.

RT if you don't use AI for coding

Huh, they're drafting that turbonationalist Russian HOI4 streamer (whom Paradox disgustingly platformed before) because he got kicked from university for failing French exams twice @mikesenters.bsky.social

its deeply upsetting that we've become so accustomed to giant tech platforms abandoning any kind of responsibility for moderation that people just default to strategies to protect themselves but valve makes BILLIONS from steam, they should be the ones protecting the products on their shopfront!

I originally made this edit about Twitter, but honestly I think it might actually apply to Bluesky too (but for slightly different reasons)

"Stop talking about how we abused and mismanaged BioWare and get excited for this other thing we're going to abuse and mismanage instead."

You think we'd launch a new game without a giveaway to go with it?! You know us better than that. So does ASUS because they're letting us give away a *brand new laptop* to celebrate the launch of Tenebris Somnia! RT + Follow + Enter to win a ROG Zephyrus G14 NOW 👇

guys I bet my house on this you can't let me down

Just a reminder to all the indie devs: You can just post a link to your game when you mention it. In fact, attaching a link and thumbnail beneath doesn't even add to the character count. This isn't Twitter. You won't be suffocated in your sleep by the algorithm here. There is no algorithm here.

i hope they put this on my gravestone

To help against misinformation: This is the result of the Saudi Arabian buyout deal. The most ridiculous deal ever made where EA could barely cover the cost of the debt it accrued. A lot of people will attach their personal feelings to the "why" but this is the real reason ^

It's not, it's because Old Republic spun off into it's own thing so Bioware no longer has MMO sub numbers pumping up their bottom line after every project they've done in years has been a flop. Imagine what SE's quarters would look like without FF14 on the balance sheet.

Pour one out for Bioware and all the folks who worked there. You quite literally made my childhood

This image doesn’t exist so you can say that Something Awful is “largely unmoderated”

Its sad to see another studio with such storied history being grund to dust once again over the course of last decade, poor developers have been mismanaged and locked in development hell after development hell- and their reward is being sacrificed on the altar of the saudi acquisition. It sucks.

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

I like this attitude because I have a strong 3rd gear, a fully paid off old car, and have accomplished everything I wanted in life. My ancestors are smiling upon me, Mercedes GLC-300. Can you say the same?

realized i never posted this old one from when i was playing through shb
