I've let myself listen to the first couple of tracks (already knew Hold Back the Night) and the couple of brief reprisals have made me gasp out loud. This is going to be an incredibly special album... and perfectly timed.

It is taking every fiber of my being not to listen to the new Protomen Act III drops as they come out. Come mid-January, you will find me huddled in a dark room, reading the narrative and lyrics beneath the blue light of a computer screen, headphones cranked, tears streaming down my cheeks

Back to streaming tonight! Let's start Nine Sols, a 2024 game from Red Candle Games that has been described as a Metroidvania with Sekiro-like mechanics. I'm sure it's pretty difficult, so come suffer with me at 6:30pm eastern!

I LOVE how LSL3 looks and sounds. That era of Sierra (Si-era?) is my absolute favorite. We'll *probably* leave off at the end of 3, but who knows, we may go back to 5 at some point in the future.

Thanks for watching, and how's your dick, buddy!

remember this for every AI headline you read

but also keep this one in mind, too

The metaverse economy offers the potential of a wide range of revenue streams, with some estimates predicting it could become an $800 billion-dollar market in just two years and that it could contribute $3 trillion dollars to the global economy in the next decade.

The Leisure Suit Larry 2 finale is LIVE on #SavingOften! @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I have reached the foot of the volcano housing Dr. Nonookee's evil lair! Now to climb to the top and figure out what the game wants us to say to finish it once and for all.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

14yo son keeps coming out to quote me hilarious lines from game he recently discovered

Sam And Max Hit The Road

which I think I first played when I was maybe 15 (and had much the same reaction)

I love this for him.

It is done.

This took about two years from research to release, and I doubt I’ll ever make something of this scope ever again. I’m so thankful to everyone who supported me.

Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, curl up in a cozy space, and enjoy.

That’s my boy Brique Carnage, the Brock in the bottom right! Brique’s an extremely friendly, spiritual, big city bounty hunter enjoying the quaint comforts of the Illusive Isle. The universe will speak to us, if only we’ll listen!

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

The image is a text exchange with one person saying I love you, the second person saying I love you more and then the first person asking "more than" and then showing a picture of Brian from Quest 64. The second person then says "know your limits"

A Boomerang Bro wearing a Crocodile Dundee outfit looks very happy as he takes a group selfie. A toad with a blue head is blinded by the flash. A craw wearing a backwards cap and a nose ring has his hands in his pockets next to a Brock with a pompadour giving a cheesy thumbs up. A Koopa in a hot pink fur coat and short tight pink dress looks standoffish.

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 7d

A lot has changed since we started developing our game over 3 years ago...

Nintendo made a new Famicom Detective Club. Every Ace Attorney game is now in English. Another Code was revived, fueling desire for Kyle Hyde remakes.

People want ADV games, and we want to make them 👍 #gamedev #indiegame
