books should have more illustrations. imagine reading song of ice and fire, and there's just a drawing of harrenhal or mereen. would be so awesome

Help stop Sony stopping people from owning and sharing games:

Sign the Petition

Don't Kill the Disc: Tell Sony to Keep Physical PlayStation Games

Please consider pledging your support. This needs to be stopped.

the end of game ownership is nigh

i'm so fucking tired of this shit.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 

In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats o

every new physical game from now on is just a countdown to the last.

the writing's been on the wall for a while, but sony confirming it is still a huge gut-punch to me, and gaming as a whole. it's no longer just that we can't have good things, we can't even have things anymore.

my favorites from steam next fest this june

vholume

momentum-based first person platformer with really cool early source engine inspired brutalistic visuals and immense vibes. easy to learn, hard to master

over the hill

cozy open world exploration game from the devs of art of rally, where you drive around in a jeep and take pictures of animals. there's some real problem solving involved on the way to some destinations, where I had to use the car winch at the correct times, which I found pretty fun.

shroom and gloom

slay the spire x inscryption x cult of the lamb. it's good.

about fishing

surreal fishing game with a nice ps1-esque art style and a great soundtrack. probably has the best fishing mechanics of any game i've played. the story also seems interesting, excited to see where it goes.

silver pines

2.5d horror metroidvania inspired by silent hill, alan wake and twin peaks (some of my favorite things of all time)? yup, i'm in. (combat was a little rough, though)

artist does concept art -> ai "improves" image -> artist paints over the things ai added -> ai -> paints over -> ai -> paints over

such an efficient pipeline that totally justifies firing thousands of developers and artists. thank you epic games.

Game Developers Neither Surprised Nor Delighted To Learn That Unreal Engine 6 Will Be Filled With AI Garbage

“All of the UE6 stuff is really exciting news if your idea of a video game is turning it into shitty Roblox-core slurry for Fortnite"
