A life lesson!
For Mario Day I'll share some Mario-based regret from Small Alan getting in the bath with his one of these still on his wrist 😫
These cereal box magic motion rulers are some of my favourite Mario-related things in my collection. Happy Mario Day!
Hey @soulphoenix316.bsky.social this description sounds like it was made for you 😆
I played through that recently, and largely had a good time with it. Well worth a play
Hear me out...
Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*.
So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.
They interviewed you when you were 15?!
Me? Blow my own trumpet? Moi? Ok, sure. 😜
But because someone did ask, here was the time I was interviewed by Custom PC magazine after my LEGO Soundblaster went viral. Oof... 5 years ago...! 🫣

I feel there's this fundamental lack of comprehension that games aren't just made, they're designed. Everything in a game was done in that way for a purpose, to give players a specific experience. GenAI can *make* dialogue but it can't *design* it. There's more to it than just generating words.
Exactly. There's plenty for everyone to be able to have enough, if not for a handful of people hoarding more than they can possibly use, and everyone else aspiring to that. What the fuck are we doing?
Resharing for the evening crowd. This is the first game I've solo made in 7 years! Was very satisfying to make.
There's a town description by Kain that's permanently in my head.
"The town of Steinchencroe bore with it the infamous aroma of its inhabitants. In life, I would not have graced the place with my presence. In death...I merely added to the stench."
Could be a deleted scene from one of the Star Wars prequels? 😂

As a couple people have mentioned too, if you want something that plays like Nu-Marathon (Destiny-esque combat with cooldown powers) but is singleplayer, you might love Witchfire.
I'd say it's only like 10-20% extraction shooter. It's part Destiny, part roguelite, part Souls-like. VERY good blend.
Post some of your favourite video game characters for international women's day!
👏 Iris
This is the only thing I've seen that has even remotely made me want to play Marathon
Next finish: Planet of Lana
One of those 'walk to the right and do puzzles' games, like Limbo or similar. What it reminds me of is a less pretty and less alien Planet Alpha (still pretty, just bland). Decent enough little game if you like this kind of thing.
Why do people do this?! 😭
I was really surprised about that. I've never been super impressed by deckbuilding video games because I've played a million deckbuilder tabletop games. I thought tabletop people would find Slay the Spire nothing to get excited about, but I was wrong.
Watching detailed scene-by-scene breakdowns of Columbo episodes, complete with DOB and filmography for virtually every supporting actor, is more absorbing than I would have expected if you'd described it to me

I just saw that GOG has Impossamole! 😂
I had an Impossamole poster on my wall for years as a kid/teenager because it was included with a magazine. I've never heard of it again in any other context until now 😂

Ko-fi subscribers can spend the weekend relaxing with a series of articles covering everything from PlayStation dating sims to modern CRPG systems, Game Boy cameras, and Sonic The Hedgehog! Come take a look!
I've decided to also start doing a #RandomBoardGameSaturday since I have millions of those.
The first random draw gives us Walnut Grove, one of my all-time favourites
Today's #RandomGameSaturday gives us Red Dead Redemption!
I haven't played the sequel but I played this one during the plague, and was surprised (though I shouldn't have been) to find that it's pretty much GTA: Cowboys
For example, almost every game had a Mario World style world map.
I can't think of any modern sega game that does this. Sega games tend to be faster and more arcade-like, SNES devs, more slower paced and cartoony in tone.

Next finish: Greymarsh
Very much in the vein of the gamebooks of yore, though it allows more backtracking than those usually do. Some parts have a frustrating amount of trial and error, but on the whole I enjoyed it.
