This is why I loathe genre names like "metroidvania" and "rogue-like" Tell me what I'm doing in the game, not another game that it's like. Stop referencing other games on your store page!!!! Your work should stand separate.

This recent trend of games listing their direct influences by name is deeply weird. And probably not very legally advisable! It would be very unusual for a film to do this, unless quoting a review. The *first line* of this game's store page is "The Stanley Parable with a loaded rifle."

Big Walk begins with a simple premise and promise. The player, taking the embodiment of some kind of ant thing, spawns into a room with prompts. You walk those hallowed halls and get an explanation as...

Good morning gamers STYLZ: Daily Runway continues in the spirit of syn Sophia (Style Savvy, Fashion Dreamer) but free to play Leverages the strengths of mobile well, but missing a bit of that je ne sais quoi Solid as either a stop-gap to a full release fashion game or as a low-risk entry point

STYLZ: Daily Runway Review – A Solid Lunch Break Game

STYLZ: Daily Runway brings to mind classic fashion games in the style of syn Sophia. Better in some ways, worse in others.

Book club this month was Heartwood by Amity Gaige. Never would have picked this one up in a million years due to the "Read With Jenna" sticker, but my god what a book Quick read with a deceptive amount of depth. The first true "post COVID" novel I've read

My wife took a picture of me that I feel is too sexy to post

Well my bookmark is lost, guess I just have to finish without stopping

Showed my wife Blade Runner for the first time last night. It was also my first time watching with the narration. I think I liked the narration a little bit, but mostly not. Great movie either way, of course.

I’m sorry but if I’m wearing headphones and i fart then thats none of my business

Spicy bulgogi rice bowl My daughter got cheesy spicy ramen with a side of tteokbokki

This post has it backwards, IMO. The Criterion crowd doesn’t really need to be “introduced” to very famous genre work, and Criterion has showcased anime before. More exciting is the possibility that this will draw anime fans to Criterion and help introduce them to the wider world of film!

LOVE ETERNAL rules I beat it one screen at a time. You can Get Good The finale of this game cannot be described

Toby Alden@brlka.com · last wk.

for those who don't know, LOVE ETERNAL is the game i made with friends; it took us 8 years to make, and i'm very proud of it. it's a gravity-flipping precision platformer with a surreal horror narrative that takes some very big swings. check it out if any of those descriptors appeal

That’s community

I love when people repost porn from an account they follow. Like “Here, now we can all crank off to this TOGETHER”.

Strong design, tight writing, great music - does a lot with a little Play methodically or for speed with equal grace Works for players of any platforming comfort level imho

Pyromancer Review – A Clever Little Taste Of Speed

Pyromancer is visually and aurally similar to an old school installment of Castlevania, built with gameplay that rewards speed but allows patience.

Taking screenshots of a game I don't really like for a review I don't think would be interesting. Just going to delete the whole concept

OK who was making shit up this time. I've seen about twenty people post about it but 0 with the name Post the name

Tabletop Simulator was my first game of Spearhead in probably a year, been way too long and very out of practice. We both did a lot of misplays (he also needs to derust). In the end we tied 13-13
