New York now getting a taste of Nothern Irish politics 🤣

Game 76 - Persona 5 Royal: A fantastic JRPG, great characters, battle system and soundtrack. I still personally like P3 more but this is the game that really made the series popularity skyrocket. My one big criticism is there is a lot of time spent repeating information you already know.

Game 75 - Resident Evil 3: Really good too, feels really responsive which is an odd thing to say about a game with tank controls. The additional movement options this game adds push it over the edge in terms of how it plays but RE2 is the better experience overall.

Game 74 - Sonic The Hedgehog: Still a pretty decent time, but the level design as the game goes on begins to fall apart a little for me, and the final boss needing to be done without any rings is just cruel for no good reason. I wouldn’t call this a classic personally, but it’s almost there.

Game 73 - Resident Evil 2: The perfect survival horror game, an absolute blast. Everything comes together to create just one of the greatest games the PS1 had to offer. The pre rendered backgrounds still look pretty good for their age though the cg cutscenes haven’t faired so well.

Game 72 - TLOZ Wind Waker: Honestly this was a bit of a let down on the replay. It still has a lot to love, but you can really see the rushed nature of development and there’s just a lot of small annoyances that add up to a kind of frustrating game. The art direction is still top notch though.

@thegamecollection.bsky.social is there any chance you’ll get allocated more stock for the Yakuza 20th Anniversary for PS5? I didn’t realise it would be so limited 😭

Is it just me or is the second season of the 8th Doctor and Lucie Miller hard going. I haven’t really loved any of the four I’ve listened to so far. Any Big Finish fans on here can let me know if I’m crazy lol #bigfinish #doctorwho #eighthdoctor

It really sounds like this might be it for Torchwood for the foreseeable future, which is really devastating honestly.

Torchwood might have been tonally all over the place but it was very special to me as a piece of media that made me feel represented.

One of my biggest boomer take is that game info and guides etc, should not be on fucking discord

Had to get this out of a box in the attic, I remember when they had a big assembly at school about this back in 1997.

Saw the remake of Syberia is using the original cutscenes along with the brand new gameplay. Guessing the game was in dev before Microids Paris was shut down, and @microidsoff.bsky.social have paid Virtuallyz Gaming to finish the game off and are too cheap to make new cutscenes.
