I play (and sometimes speedrun) video games, and sometimes cover their music.

After enough instances of #SteamNextFest and other events where the Browse All Games list re-shuffles every time I revisit the page and there are tons of repeats across sub-genres, I finally made a bookmarklet to help skim past the ones I've already looked at.

I've finished playing E1M1/MAP10 through E1M10/MAP10 and 2 bonus maps in Amalgoom RC5, but there are 2 more bonus maps involving the first 2 maps in each original game that I didn't stumble across in my playthrough, so I'm checking those out to wrap up this weekend.

RE last repost: really was expecting Metroid Prime 4 to be the thing that would make me begrudgingly dust off my Switch.

But nope, it will continue to sit and collect dust, because holy shit even within the first 2 minutes of that trailer it is so tonally off-the-mark.

Amalgoom is good so far, so I'm doing even more of it tonight, looking to get through the E1-relevant portion this weekend.

Late start today because apparently I needed more recuperation from last week's schedule than I thought.

Anyway, for the weekend before my birthday, I'm finally checking out AMALGOOM, i.e. what happens when a bunch of Doom mappers/musicians smash Doom 1 and Doom 2 together.

Let's see if I've got a shot at evenly finishing this chapter of Tokyo Xanadu today.

I've long considered the CoD franchise to be lazy cash-grabs, but apparently blops 7 (slops 7?) takes the cake by a long shot. (And from what I've read at a glance, the campaign is apparently the worst ever.)

There is absolutely no excuse for supporting this absolute garbage with your money.

The brunt of my rotated work schedule this week is now over, but I'm definitely in recuperation mode today, so I'm opting to chill out with Tokyo Xanadu again since I'm hardly in shape for shmupping.

Every time I get an email or read a post about how "AI is inevitable" and so you need to do X or Y to get ready for it, I screenshot it. I've saved them all. When the bubble bursts, I'm going to be a menace. I will be unstoppable. I will be taken to prison for the harassment I am going to do.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Time to finish Chapter 4 of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, now additionally equipped with the improved translation from the Switch version.

During my stream yesterday, while lamenting the rough localization of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, I was reminded that a new translation was done for the Switch version, and there is a patch to apply that on PC. I'd seen this once before, but totally forgot about it when I finally chose to start the game.

Despite rotating my schedule for this week, my brain still decided it wanted to be awake as of 2 hours ago, so I guess I'll make the most of it and play more Tokyo Xanadu

Bsky's T&S team does not consider "eat the rich" to be a constructive purpose, and only cares about "disrespectful" as perceived by the ruling class, so make sure this filter is turned off under Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Moderation Service ("service" seems like quite a stretch, doesn't it)

Reminder/PSA (which I've probably mentioned more during stream than here): My streams may be sparse next week due to other stuff I have going on that involves schedule-juggling.

Finishing off Beyond Sunset Chapter 1, which I was almost done with yesterday, just have some cleanup to do.

Will decide whether I want to start Chapter 2 today or do something else afterwards...

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

It's open season for games that are sold for money. Players should be able to inform potential buyers on the current state of the game and help them make a decision on whether the game is worth their time and money.

If your game isn’t ready for reviews, you launched too soon.
