Jesus Lumines Arise is fantastic.

Just had my first match in this where people were using open mics and I now suspect this is a GOTY contender.

Finally trying the Final Sentence demo.

Haven't finished Keeper yet but so far it completely rules, feels like Double Fine took a modern engine and a budget and made a sumptuous, lightly interactive surrealist animated film. A superb use of Microsoft's money.

Kinda reminds me of the old Roger Ebert idea that film projection induces a state of reverie while pixelated screens cause something more like hypnosis.

Some good discussions going on in this thread re: the eternal struggle of kids vs screen time, but one purely anecdotal thing I’ve noticed in the last year or so is that my kid never has as much of an issue transitioning away from a CRT TV as he does modern screens.

Good stuff, Windows 11.

I need info on how shitty/not-shitty the d-pad is on the Switch 2 Pro Controller, someone post a button-test video pls.

Sure am glad I said "this State of Play will probably be pretty low key" on a podcast that isn't even posted yet.

We're recording the podcast in a couple hours (with @willsmith.fun joining), so if you have any Switch 2 questions send 'em in to podcast@nextlander.com ASAP!

Good Evening, "iTunes for Windows" was a 24 year study dedicated to developing the worst program ever made. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time

I didn't even go looking for it but it only took five minutes of idle browsing to run across the E3 1998 show directory that I lost in the Helene flooding a few months ago, this project has already justified its existence. archive.gamehistory.org/item/b9a0863...

Built-in mouse is one of the hardest features in console history.

It was a genuine honor to get to work with Gordon here and there the last couple of years. A true legend and a tragic loss. Condolences to his family and friends.
