The goal seems to be to avoid the eshop getting flooded with shovelware which is a valid goal however if it’s impacting quality devs and studios then it’s not a viable solution.

New fund just launched by @imirt.bsky.social for Irish game developers. Up to €73k which can mean a whole lot of runway to some studios!

Finally gave in and bought the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. I would buy Doom but Eternal was such a let down compared to 2016 so I’m waiting for The Dark Ages to be on a substantial sale.

While I wait for some games on the PS Store to go on sale I’m been going through the PS+ Catalog.

Rediscovered the gem that is the Resistance series from Insomniac. Would love to to see this get a remake

Last day @playtonicgames.com today. Everyone there had such kind wishes. To say it was bittersweet would be an understatement. New things on the horizon though.

New challenges, new opportunities and best of all, new games!!! #indiegame #indiedev

Sold! If I can find season 1 - 3

Ross @griffreeper.bsky.social · Mar 19

Decided to watch The Last of Us TV show and spread it out so I can start off Season 2 just as I finish watching the finale episode of Season 1….. I watched the whole season in 3 days.

Any tv show recommends while I’m waiting for season 2 of #TLOU and #Fallout?

Ross @griffreeper.bsky.social · Mar 10

That’s a great point, dad gaming is real 😄 It’s why I’ve sunk 200+ hours into games like Dead Cells and Hades.

I think a shorter loop and/or a more hand-holds tutorial would make this something I’d revisit.

Ross @griffreeper.bsky.social · Mar 10

As much as it's an incredible concept for a game I just can't get onboard with Pacific Drive. It's a fantastic game but I just can't get "onboarded" to it before I find the difficulty slamming me into the pavement.

Added to the pile of 'It's not you, it's me' game pile. 🥲

Yeah I think games like Balatro, Dave the Diver and Inscryption are perfect for the PS Portal
