Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

known about this game for a while but i’m just finding out that it’s super huge in jpn with lots of lets plays getting hundreds of thousands of views. super interesting to see considering the jpn indie game scene is way more niche and doesn’t really break thru to the western world in the same way

Dengeki Faminico Gamer surveyed ~2,900 readers about what games they'd "eternal sunshine" to forget, and enjoy like it's the first time. 🧠 We've covered 9/10 titles on this great list (but this editor does recommend 'em all!👍).

didnt know about that oof sorry i and other chatters are being weird towards you. i myself shoulda just thought a few seconds more that it's real weird to send that to a stranger (and i did immediately after which is why i said to time me out in a half-joking manner). will just keep to normal banter

feeling called out as a person who loves spicy food and horror games (i can handle one well but not the other)

a quote from MAKOTO SHIBATA, DIRECTOR of FATAL FRAME

When I was making the first Fatal Frame, I thought, "We'll make the next one twice as scary!" but I was told that it wouldn't sell. That it was enough, and it didn't have to get scarier.

I think horror games are probably like a "super hot curry" restaurant where you go and put "super hot curry" on the sign, but when it's hotter than they
expected, they quickly go, "It's too hot!"

a quote from KEIICHIRO TOYAMA, DIRECTOR of SILENT HILL & SIREN

Super hot fanatics and horror fanatics have always been alike.
If you take it too far, you end up with something that isn't even proper
food anymore.

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Iris but we can acknowledge her flaws (she has none) and we can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she has never done anything wrong in her life) and call her out on her actions (which are always correct)

people talk about bluesky being the liberal social media platform but imo nowhere is more libbed up than subreddits where people post about municipal politics

loom @loomic.bsky.social · 9d

but also both of those films fuck. just complete opposite ends of the quiet v loud horror spectrum

loom @loomic.bsky.social · 9d

ya know, maybe i am an annoying film person if i'm reccing cure or tetsuo when someone asks for a good horror film. i gotta watch more slashers or smth

slay the spire speedrunning is kinda like both at the same time. it’s like alternating whipping the game with a mouse and keyboard vs controller and it all requiring very frame-tight inputs

max @gaydragon.bsky.social · 12d

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed

old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

Just a reminder no matter what way the drama with retroachievements go, it is a service that provides nothing of value and it's super weird it even exists why the fuck do you want to let nerds simulate the dumb bloop notications of modern games for you????? Be free

kinda funny that the first good sonic game in years is a game where sonic doesn’t run

loom @loomic.bsky.social · 13d

what do you get when you combine sokoban puzzles, realtime life sim elements, mgs-inspired stealth segments, and anti-capitalism? a gestalt of a work that warped how i lived my life for a month which normally i can only begrudgingly hand it to live-service games for doing. highly recommend !!!!!
