Life update: gave up on the crown but *did* unlock a special frog hat scene later on 👀

Mundane Pixels @mundanepixels.bsky.social · 20d

I did a similar thing trying to fling my body at the crown to dislodge it, gave up after a while and tried to progress, somehow manged to do a loop and find my way all the way back to the crown spot. I'm in crown purgatory. I return to the ragdoll crown bowling mines. I may never leave. We move.

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

You will not survive Baby Steps' open world, but you'll laugh

QWOP goes open world in 2025's funniest game

I love Silksong a lot. But it's full of stuff that bugs me. I wrote about punishing games, the nature of being a "game pervert" and how personal friction can be for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/silksong-pro...

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a generational platformer and a labor of love. But it's full of tiny things that rub me the wrong way personally.
