I will say though as someone who was too intimidated to play Dark Souls thanks to its reputation for many years, it's not that difficult! I played it through for the first time earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The key is not to play is as you think it should be from stories and vids.

i didn't realise how much time i wasted scrolling the endless scroll until i did this the past week has been very good
finally took the plunge and deleted all the social media apps from my phone, and turned off almost all app notifications (except ones i actually need).
playstation updated the ps3 store with a message that it is closing july 2027 and in the process went ahead and broke the search function, rendering it almost useless
I think we all know bluesky is a dying platform, which is why I created theunderscore.xyz. Not as a replacement, good god, but just a small forum with clear rules (especially around bigotry) and some nice folks having nice conversations. And also forum signatures.

This is the kind of solidarity we need to have among all oppressed and exploited peoples. It's time to take care of each other, and take down our oppressors. ✊✨🔥

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

if this sounds good to you you're probably not interested in good critique or learning about a game, you just want to know what the "correct" opinion is so you can parrot it/feel vindicated
Call me old fashioned, but maybe the point of reviews and critics isn’t just which ones line up with the majority
My biggest problem with this is that a certain section of the audience believes a good review is one that conforms to the general consensus. Somewhere along the line people really lost the idea that not only can they have a different opinion on a piece of media, but differing opinions are exciting.

Hey EU game devs, I've got a friend level designer who's an ambitious and talented team-player who's urgently in need of some work. Anything out there I can point her to?
