Penguin PSA; #ItHasPenguinsInIt
Off-topic; Really intrigued by the return of The 7th Guest. From the 'Myst -like' games, it's the one I played the most and it OST is sonic gold.
Fun fact; The 7th Guest was written by Matthew Costello - who also wrote the story of a little known game called DOOM 3.

The coffee does help, though.
Beepoβs here with the most important PSA of the month. π’
We donβt run on coffee alone, you know. :)
Hi Eros. What is it that you do - supervising things to purrrfection? π§β€οΈπ±
Off-topic; Devin Townsend's decade-in-the-making opera The Moth finally arrives this summer. The first time in perhaps ever, I'm as hyped for an album that I typically am for a new DOOM. And if you know me, you'll know "that's pretty f'ing hyped".

That writing was on the wall the sadly the moment EA sold themselves to the worst parties, immediately followed by GenAI collab announcements.
The only hope for Battlefield would be EA tanking so bad their overlords use their famous hacksaws and chop 'em to bits for an IP firesale. π
The motivational cards are part of the plushie package and you can get that still via Chibird's website: www.chibird.com
Everyone could use their own motivational penguin.

Chibird's motivational penguin goodies - some part of the penguin plushie package, others exclusive to the Kickstarter of the plushie.

More yet-to-be-featured extras from penguins past. This time it is @chibird.bsky.social's Motivational Penguin plushie extras, including the adoption certificate, a selection of stickers and a zipper charm and the motivational cards.

Off-topic; Hell yes, one of the best 90s FPS games returns - courtesy of the one and only Nightdive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw5D...
Images you can hear - and I hear this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDDH...
This 8-person studio has officially released two videogames. We are still alive. (For now).

Still the best surreal horror game ever (accidentally) created.
text: in contrast to carmack's eternal pessimism regarding his past creations, project specialist john romero is the biggest fan of id's games that you could ever hope to meet. his enthusiasm is infectious as he plays the latest beta making his own sound effects with his mouth to compensate for the game. sound effects that haven't been added in yet. it is this mix of diehard programmer who plays games and diehard gamer who programs that ultimately makes id's games as good as they are.

Both the first RUINER and Metal Eden were so darn good that I'm beyond hyped. Hopefully offline single player is still an option.
I feel this is just the design doc key art for Fallout 76.
You know you've done f'd up when everyone is on Nintendo's side in a lawsuit.
One of the most underrated games ever. It's basically RE1 with mechanics of 4 plus deep sea monsters and the coolest boss design in horror games.
That said, I will never stop laughing at the Lynch-fanboy terrorists hiding in the ""Finnish alps"".
Off-topic; One of my GOTYs of 2018 (from the devs of one of the GOTYs of 2025) gets a sequel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnyF...
Knowing it is a Microslop product spearheaded by a newbie GenAI CEO, my prediction; an aways-online, AI-infested, photo-ID-requiring, disc-driveless, neutered closed-garden DRM PC with a deluxe-premium price tag.
Breaking news; Texas chiropractors about to make mad bank as id Software moves from carrying all of Zenimax on their backs to ALSO carrying Blizzard.
Seriously though, I guess I have to look into Diablo IV now.
S1023 - Teeth
I could live with low quality textures, but it looks ten times worse with the high quality, crisp characters standing on surfaces of smeared pixels straight out of a PS2 title.
Also, 'press X to doubt' about not being able to fit it on the disc. Just compress it, FFS, ZIP is still a thing.
Almost-on-topic; From the devs of the penguin platforming masterpiece Bread & Fred, their new game is about garden gnome shenanigans.
BTW, Limited Run Games no longer does these cards as part of the base game orders β and that's because of Nintendo. Nintendo hoards trading card companies for PokΓ©mon like OpenAI hoards SSD and RAM for ""AI"". This happened to the company doing LRG's cards.
Limited Run Games' trading cards for Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken's VITA and PS4 releases. One features the game's key art, the other the penguin dictator Putzki.
π§ Weekly #Penguin 967
I remembered there was still one thing yet to be featured from one of my fave penguin games; Rocketbirds!
The games were available physically only via Limited Run Games and back then that meant they also came /w trading cards. Here are the ones for the Vita and PS4 versions.
The expression on the horse's face says it all, it knows who did it.
That is a master-class rage-bait headline if I ever saw one. Bravo to the author, you really have to fight the urge to correct such denial of reality - which I'm sure was the point.
