Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on PC. Reading about the big spiders and seeing them on screen is one thing, but having to try and cast spells on them while they’re trying to actively get you?

No thank you 💙

What was the first video game that scared you?

It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

I legit had to get someone to beat the Deku Tree for me. The little baby Gohma in that one room that are attached to the ceiling absolutely paralyzed me

Maybe I go in late today because they were nearly 40 minutes late yesterday and sat on their new boyfriend's lap on and off for the first hour of their shift

-Tidus FFX voice- I had forgotten about Paper Mario The Origami King

Ventus @betwixtyiff.bsky.social · 22h

I get that. By the end of FFXVI I was desperate for it to be over but didn't want to put it down having sunk a good amount of time in it already

Dishonorable mention to RiME, but that game wasn't as bad as it was disappointing

Ventus @betwixtyiff.bsky.social · 22h

Tbh most of the answers I COULD give are ones where I hated the game too much to finish it lol. So toss up between Final Fantasy XVI and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

"Somewhere lost between the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen..."
#otgw #fanart

A dark and shadowy fanart of the characters from Over the Garden Wall.
The Beast looms over Greg, Beatrice, and Wirt with his arms stretch towards them. His right hand reaches for Beatrice while his left creeps closer to Wirt's lantern, the soft glow revealing his hands to be very sketchy and scribbly. Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice walk close together as Wirt holds the lantern up with his left hand. Greg looks back to Beatrice with a happy expression as if ranting about another rock fact. He holds his frog (Jason Funderberker) in his right arm as he jaunts along the dark path. Beatrice flies low looking at Greg engaging in his enthusiastic ramblings.

"[Neo-soul] was never just about melody or groove, but it was about community, collaboration, and communion. These were artists who... turned vulnerability into power ... intellectual and sensual, political and personal, sacred and messy all at once."

It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose D’Angelo. Not just the man, but the sound, the feeling, the very essence of soul that he embodied.
