really excellent writing here and I think the definitive piece I've read about this game www.slantmagazine.com/games/the-le...

'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' Review: A Cautious Retread

The 'Ocarina of Time' remake is a dazzling technical achievement, but it's too cautious to continue the conversations the original started.

i think what is killer about this message is that games media folks will continue to cover their games and go to their parties and engage with their marketing as a way to line their own pockets despite their own views on gen ai. ty xbox.

do a ton of games media folks also own orchards? i only ask because there is a ton of CHERRY PICKING going on! i'll be here all week, don't forget to tip!

been really fun seeing this go as wide as it is. i'm realizing that the goofiness of Ocarina of Time cannot be understated and is universally appreciated. this game is so deliberate with its choreography and item placement, it ensures that you the player/guest have the best experience possible.

games media praising the Celeste studio for participating in BDS while they themselves are not is sending me.

A reminder that The Omnigamers' Club Podcast remains committed to the BDS boycott of Xbox Game Pass and Microsoft Published Games. We've been wanting to cover South of Midnight for a while and only doing so now that Compulsion Games is independent. Free Palestine.

This week we’re joined by game designer and convention organizer @cjae.bsky.social to discuss Vancouver’s playtest convention @protocon-bc.bsky.social and Canada’s Play the North initiative.

choked on the last throw - perfect game is in sight.

I do wish video game people had less affection for studio names and more familiarity with people’s names. I feel it does BioWare a disservice to collapse the entire studio to what it was in 2010

“it’s actually really complicated” goes right out the window.
