If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

Feeling better now, since Steam sale is about to end and @dominictarason.com got me some new followers looking for cool games, here's a personal selection of stuff that's REALLY CHEAP right now - like under $4-5, some under $1 (at least with my regional pricing)
I'll highlight some below 🧵

My last PC Gamer piece for 2025 just went live! Silksong might be the juggernaut that everyone's talking about, but if you like your platformers full of exploration, here's six alternatives (one of them free!) that each do something different with the formula.
I played more than 20 metroidvanias this year other than Silksong, and these are the ones doing the most creative/experimental things with the genre
Already unspooled Silksong? Here's six other platformers exploring new concepts.

It's the Christmas issue of Famitsu, so that means many Japanese gaming industry folks gave their personal Game of the Year lists. I'll update this thread periodically since there's a lot of them once again.

how come "realism" in games only applies to shit that sucks and not, for instance, the fact that most flashlights do not actually run out of batteries after 3 minutes, and good quality tools will literally outlive you if you take good care of them

Because this month wasn't packed enough, they decided to shadow-drop Total Chaos (the Unity-based remake of the wildly ambitious GZDoom survival horror game) today.
I got an early copy and while I'm not finished yet, I'm very impressed. It feels like a slicker, more refined version of the original.
