I've been writing for Hardcore Gamer since its first issue in 2005, which may be a long time to do anything but it hasn't gotten boring yet. james (at) hardcoregamer (dot) com
Blame @glassbottommeg.bsky.social, she dumped it in front of my eyes almost the second it went up. :)

As a note, this isn't an apology or even justification for Horses not being on Epic and especially Steam. Horses is a horror game, it's supposed to be disturbing and wrong. It really should be widely available and it's a stupid, embarrassing failure of both storefronts that it's not for sale there.

Poetry from people who have no conception of joy or beauty is certainly a thing.

That means Saturn is fluffy. I don't control the science!

I'll find out tomorrow if that means tidally locked so one side always faces the sun or if it's actually one day = one year as the Earth's orbit makes the day/night terminator move. Or maybe the FF clear up the issue quickly enough the aliens don't have time to specify.

This is the kind of hardware a gaming museum would be thrilled to display in 20-30 years, but also who wants to sit on this in storage for 20-30 years?

Me- Reads the entire Dungeon Crawler Carl series on my wife’s Kindle Unlimited. Functionally free.

Also me- Ooh, Crocodile spin-off graphic novel! And the first 3 volumes limited signed & numbered on Kickstarter!

My Kindle Unlimited relationship- Its complicated.

One thing I have learned from every open-world RPG I've ever played, from Skyrim to Enshrouded, is that EXP doesn't scale with duration. Most likely because "duration" is usually a euphemism for "however long it takes me to get around to it".

Still nice to move the quest to Completed, though.

Kirby Air Riders is on my list of games to play, but my impression is it's a pure arcade game that's stapled a kart racing game over its body in the hopes noone will notice.

Obviously so for the last 11 months. I don't know why it's being treated as anything other, as if pretending it's a reasonable entity might generate some kind of profit worth more than its inevitable betrayal.
