Tunic is a great little game. I can't think of any other game that captures that feeling of playing a game for the first time and slowly testing the boundaries of what you can and cannot do. Definitely one of the better love letters to the old Zelda games out there. My main issue with it was the fact that the end-game is mostly just puzzle-solving. It kind of felt like the game had changed genres on me, especially since I had seen it recommended so many times as "Zelda meets Dark Souls".
Thanks Google, I hate it. At least the udm=14 trick and website still works, at least until google decides to stop supporting that feature. Definitely going to be using that more and more if this becomes the default google experience.
I don't have much faith in advertisers starving Zuckerberg of cash. Unless there's an exodus of users from Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else Zuckerberg owns then there's not going to be any pressure on advertisers to abandon those sites.
Mildly surprised Sony actually budged on this. Of course, they really should have had this setup from the start. No one is going to like being forced to set up a PSN account to play a game, but I imagine a lot of people will do it for a free cosmetic skin or whatever in-game incentives they come up with.
Focus on what you can control is pretty cliche advice, but it really is all you can do in situations like this. Something I've started doing is a "news diet" where I sit down on Monday and basically skim through the last week of political news. Then I just try and ignore political news as much as possible until the next Monday. It's not a perfect system, but it helps deal with the fire hose style news coverage the media gives to Trump.
While I wouldn't underestimate Hasbro's ability to blow everything up trying to make the line go up, I do think D&D just shambling on for another decade is likely. It's just so entrenched among so many players. Sure, every new scandal is going to have some group swearing it off and going back to old editions or looking at different games, but the majority will just keep playing.
Doom 2016 kind of felt like it hit the sweet spot between the two. Just enough lore to be interesting, but still grounded in a simple premise. Then Doom Eternal had so much lore I actually had to check that I hadn't missed a game where all this stuff had been introduced.
This console generation is ending already? Like, logically I know it's been six years, but it still feels short for a console generation. Curious to see if the handheld rumors pan out and what confusing name they give it.
Great, more consolidation in the gaming industry. Still, Sony making some kind of big purchase felt inevitable once the Activision deal was finalized. I guess on the bright side Bloodborne 2 might finally happen? Or at least a remaster? But who knows with Sony.

Good riddance. Might be willing to check the game out now.

While I'm a little skeptical of EA when it comes to rereleases of classic games like this, at least these games won't be abandonware anymore.
Honestly, the most interesting part of all of this is learning that Larian has an official Tumblr account.
No, vampires usually leave that sort of "exact words" trickery to faeries and genies.
Three things are certain in life: Death, Taxes, and Doom running on things you didn't think could run Doom.
That "If" is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence. Really interested to see where SteamOS goes in the future.

It's almost impressive how companies can think up the worst ways to experience games when they want to show something off at these events.

Turning Silent Hill into Loud Valley.
That's a shame. Rime was a great little game. Got it on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. Hope the developers can find work elsewhere.
