Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌
I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading.

Wrote a post talking about the design of Shinobi, Rolling Thunder & Elevator Action and how excellent of a run n gun template it was+how it developed over the years. I'd love to see more indie games take a crack at developing this, cuz Shinobi devs sure as fuck won't

lol I feel this in my fucking soul
I just noticed that the wax head of Dark Souls 3 has its candle wick texture not cropped/ transparencied correctly, surrounded by a black rectangle.
My immersion has been ruined! Pre-order canceled, etc.

I can understand the ACA decision, but the core goal of this shutdown was to try and assert some manner of "the executive branch will follow the goddamn law"
We didn't get that, at all.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

Part of it *almost* makes sense when you're coming up with weird tech cults around this in the 90s and 2000s, but now that we used up most of the 'free progress', the idea an AI will suddenly be able to massively scale *itself* is so fucking funny.
is there a speculative concept that's less scary than the Technological singularity? tech is going to escape human control and everybody dies? that's fucking stupid.

Mirroring the video here if you don't want to even humor going onto Twitter, but when it gets into the "process" section, there's so many red flags of them lying about the work they put into the commercial that reveal how much of this video is them trying and lying after the fact.

People will, but I can't imagine getting excited for HL3 at this point. The thrilling conclusion to an story that never had any plans, or answers, like a JJ Abrams story, held up by a type of innovation that does not happen anymore, made by a company who now only seems to make games on accident.
