Spencer @skull-hazard.bsky.social writes on Limbus Company's decision to use a slur in the dialogue of a recent story update. He argues that there's no reason to be haphazardly using such words, even when trying to be realistic in dialogue. gamesline.net/sticks-stone...

Sticks & Stones: The One Where They Put a Slur in a Video Game and Now I Have to Write about Why It's Bad. - Gamesline

Lilith @gallowlessdatura.bsky.social reviews Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation, a GZDoom-powered first person shooter from @ciaran-games.bsky.social and @silverliningint.bsky.social, with a breezy length and enjoyable atmosphere!

Fistful of Fishblood — Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation Review

Captain Wayne isn’t exactly trying for something perfectly refined and, for me, such a thing oozes personality and intention. Cutscenes often have an intentionally rough look with limited animation, voice actors often have varying qualities to their microphones, their acting is delightfully strange in a way only something trying to be so intentionally goofy can be. You got me the moment you introduced a detective doing literally every single detective stereotype at once.

Thanks to the #VGHF Digital Library and the nudge of an retrospective forum comment, I was able to find print evidence of a scrapped enemy type in #ICO that we once only had animation data for. archive.gamehistory.org/item/3e70860...

A portion of a magazine scan, taken from PSM Issue 49 (September 2001), Page 58. The image shows an altered layout for the entrance to Sunbeams (Stage 3t), that has a pool of water along the left side. Ico is doing battle with a Shadow nearly three times his size. The caption reads: "If the princess is kidnapped by the shadow creatures, the game ends. The bad guys even come super-sized. Better get out your hitting stick..."A cropped version of the same image to single out Ico and the enemy, the exposure and contrast have been adjusted to see its silhouette clearly against the dark environment.

If you're browsing the digital library, please share your favorite things you're finding! We don't even know 100% of what's in here and we want to know what excites you

And if you use AI for policy-writing you NEED to note that in the doc or else you will be F U B A R down the road when you are held responsible for the policies by oversight orgs. You can't cut corners on policy without inherently taking on massive risk.

Do not be Slay The Spire II and get caught with your pants down not having a ready organizational AI Policy written up. For many this is a short two-letter section, and for those who it isn't a short two-letter long section... Get to drafting. Don't leave any and all of your collaborators out to dry

Lily (@gallowlessdatura.bsky.social) gets in touch with the hazy memories of her younger self by playing various PS2 games chosen entirely by the information found on the box. No review scores, no research, no gameplay footage. Read her thoughts on Bloodrayne, Evergrace, Shadow Hearts, and more!
