Why is my tl just complete facebookslop? Just an endless procession of allegedly interesting videos of people cutting soap and doing life hacks that have zero to do with the people I follow

Gostava que Portugal tive jornalismo de gaming mais forte. Muito respeito para toda a malta que dá o seu tempo às suas micro-publicações independentes, é genuinamente trágico que não tenham o reach que esta indústria exige.

What do you mean is already May?? I've done something different this time and wrote about my process for designing game experience, rather than yap about some game I've been playing. open.substack.com/pub/ainqui/p/f…

Then again, I wasn't a teen in the 90s, so who knows, maybe it is accurate

Still on Mixtape, despite it being great, I can't help but feel it is an ode to an idealized teenagehood that isn't real. The 90s version of "trad" people drooling over 60's Coca Cola advertisements as if they had ever been real society. The story ended feeling a bit hollow

Finished Mixtape, very fun, very cool. But I was promised wokeness and whatnot, and there wasn't anything of the source to be found :( Last time I trust the angry gamer mob fr

Exactly! Video games is a broad medium with so many depth, genres and subgenres. Let’s applaud the diversity it can offer rather than wanting to pigeon-hole it in a specific subset or what « gameplay » should be. Interactivity is interactivity, be it dear Esther or dark souls.

In light of recent comments about the nature of games like Mixtape, I think it's worth noting that I strongly believe the idea of "games" exists along a spectrum. And that I don't consider myself a "game designer" in general. Only in a very specific range of design, narrative, and experience. The games I enjoy and the games I create are often filled with long sections of quiet exploration. Something I've seen dubbed as "asset tourism" for the fact that you're strolling past 3D game assets that you may never see again. On the other hand, I consider games like Silk Song (based on what I've heard) to be beyond the difficulty range where I can derive enjoyment. There's nothing wrong with any of these experiences. Though they provide plentiful fuel for rage bait and general debate. I say, make the games you want to make. And play the games you want to play. And beyond that, live and let live. As an aside, this exact same debate springs forth with our @PlushieDreadful designs. People assume (incorrectly) that our designs are meant to be everything to everyone. The truth is, those designs express a very narrow area of the spectrum along which people experience trauma and mental/physical health issues. As the internet once proclaimed, it's OK to not like things. And you don't have to be a dick about it 😂

Buried Within Clay is a puzzle-adventure game inspired by Outer Wilds and Tunic where a group of archeology students find themselves trapped deep in ancient Sumerian ruins. Solve, explore, decipher an ancient language, sacrifice your friends, and uncover the secret of Gilgamesh.

And I know I'm not helping the algorithm here, but can we move on? We still have to go through the "everyone makes ten thousand variations of the problem that lose sight of the original" phase before we can be done with this

You survived! You got what you wanted! Why are you so mad? Could it be that you were trying to pass your egoism and cynicism as rationality? That you were hoping to be vindicated? There is no rationality to being pissed at everyone surviving.

It's like day three of seeing this shitty discourse on my timeline. You'd think that it would be the blue pushers who'd get mad at not being the majority, seeing as they would die, but no, it's the red "it's a win-win" people pissing their pants.
