I really wish Steam's "More like this" actually showed me games that are like the one I'm currently looking at, rather than just ultra popular games that happen share tags. It's really not fit for purpose.

This is the moment. The Gorton and Denton by-election is a battle for the soul of our country β€” community power versus billionaire backers, hate versus hope.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Let's all bully Sony into bringing the multicolored logo back.

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is a gem!! Personally enjoyed it more than Hollowknight (2017). Still need to play Silksong though. Shame they’re not making a sequel to tLC

Yeah you’re probably right, just where I pulled it from.

As much as I don’t like Richard Dawkins, he has some interesting ideas. I think β€˜cultural Christians’ as a concept is pretty useful. Definitely applies to a lot of people in the U.K. at least

Have we ever considered that Toy Story 3 might be the greatest game ever made

Holy shit I can’t stand this strawman people create when their feelings are hurt because their country are accused of bad things historically. β€œWell it wasn’t good before us either!!!!”

Maybe harsh but I can't convey how face-eatingly embarrassing I find the whole "games aren't just games. They're experiences. Stories. Worlds that inspire. Places we go" shite you constantly get at the big shows. Might as well open with "the Oxford English Dictionary defines 'game' as..."

We’ve got to appreciate that there is a whole other side to gaming that β€˜core gamers’ (icky term) are just not going to be interested in. Heck there are like 5 other sides. We might dabble, but TGA is not just for us. Doesn’t mean we can’t say they look pants, mind.

I think, for me, this is best represented in the RPG category. KCD2 is a far more robust and interesting RPG by most metrics whilst Clair Obscur is deemed a better game that also happens to be an RPG. The narrative of success carries it very far.

Very sad KCD2 didn’t win anything (I think) at TGA. My personal game of the decade thus far. I think we all saw the Clair Obscur sweep coming though πŸ˜‚

Maelle’s ending is so damn terrifying every time. Verso’s is hopeful, at the least

As for Expedition 33 -

Verso’s ending >>>> Maelle’s ending

Risk of Rain 2 is one of the best roguelikes, but I think Hades is marginally better as a β€˜game’ package overall because of its narrative. I’ve played about 100 hours of both, though πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ and by golly is ROR2 one of the best OSTs ever to do it.

There are also plenty of people who appreciate a fresh and honest interpretation :)
