The up next queue is looking stacked. I think its gotta be Disco, I got a chunk through before moving countries and never picked it back up but enough time has passed. But getting an unusual hankering to get back to Monkey Island...
Finished Mina the Hollower last night, had an amazing time with it. I think those Fish guys from the Bayou regions will be remembered up there with the Blowdart Snipers from Dark Souls. Definitely spikes in difficulty at the end but overall I absolutely adored it.
Genuinely thought HW Bush’s nickname was “Papi” not “Poppy” until seeing it in print about 40 seconds ago.

Just finished SOMA, absolutely loved it! Scared the shite out of me though, think it confirms I won't have the head for something like Alien Isolation.

In a void after finishing Promise Mascot Agency. Stellar game, don’t know how to follow it. I might like deck builders now!
Loving Space Marines 2 atm, first game that’s felt “next-gen” in a long while
In 2092AD, the crew of the Mastadon discovered The Abyss, a thundering maelstrom of electric space storms, whirling asteroids, and hostile beings.

This is what starts playing when I get up from my desk to make a tea and grab a biscuit
Starting to visit Substack more often, has the sort of the long form content I liked from old Twitter/Internet, but occasionally you catch a trickster in the wild
Great read on the CLA approach to learning compared to traditional learning methods - calibratemastery.substack.com/p/the-constr... Interesting how much the CLA principles align with advice about learning game dev e.g. build tiny games, participate in game jams, have an ending before you polish
VERY excited by how positive all the Seance of Blake Manor reviews have been so far. Love a deduction mechanic, love the visuals, love the setting, looking forward to giving it a spin
