I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.
That's some url!
Yes! It's a lovely change-up. I loved being invited into their homes as well, and as you say, going with them to work - things we don't normally do. Things that are usually suspended in stasis elsewhere while we save the world
Apropos of nothing other than that I've been watching it nearly every night for a few months now: I'm loving Critical Role Season 4. Brennan is a marvel, I love the 'three breakout groups' idea, and the influx of new players is great. Everyone seems very sharp, very clued in
Late to this but this Cook's megadungeon sounds really cool www.polygon.com/jewel-in-the...
Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tim Curry in Clue
Tim Curry in The Three Musketeers
Tim Curry in Muppet Treasure Island
Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.
Yeah perhaps although as SKGs points out: it's typically only larger publishers that take these grand multiplayer projects on, because of all of the associated costs. The problems don't seem to arise from smaller indie teams and their MP games
A nonchalant star-faced being on a thrown waves a hand as if unmoved by whatever is happening in front of them. It is The Regent from Slay the Spire 2
All I can think of after reading the Slay the Spire 2 patch notes www.eurogamer.net/slay-the-spi...
What if end-of-life regulations mean if a publisher wants to no longer support a game, it has to strip it of account faff and microservices and then hand it over to the game-playing community?
Like, okay, we're a while from that happening, if it ever does. But what if this is the first step?
LOVE this. Just imagine what might happen if the investigations that the EU Commission is pledging to do here result in online games not being able to just disappear.
Wow!!
Hello! I have built a new thing that I hope will be useful to people. It's a calendar of *new* games coming out over the next year. Every release schedule I see includes ports and Nintendo Switch 2 Editions and I hate it, so I made this. I hope you find it useful!

I love the OP and this update specifically
I still can't quite digest these numbers. 30 million sales for It Takes Two?! That's gigantic. Even A Way Out's 13m is surprising. They both make Split Fiction's otherwise very impressive 7m look paltry
Excited for this! Still very fond of Call of the Sea
Faith scared me silly; it is good
Free League make the prettiest TTRPG books, and this new one - Fomoria by the Mork Borg creators - looks like an absolute banger. So backed www.kickstarter.com/projects/jno...
No, Steve!
But it's an interesting debate to be had all over again isn't it? I know there's a fairly equally weighted division between the two camps here
Question: is it time to play Pillars of Eternity again? Answer:
😁😁😁
I can relate!
Oh thank you!
First impressions matter!
Watching my partner play Crimson Desert and she inexplicably can't interact with literally the first NPC she's asked to talk to. She reloads: still not working. She gets annoyed. She almost ditches the game there and then. Perhaps it's a her thing?
Nope www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDes...
So I made sure to write a couple of paragraphs talking about what Slay the Spire is, because you never know who's reading - inclusive writing and that. And the first comment: "Can someone who played it, tell me what the hook of this game is?"
Like, seriously
A photo of a paragraph in a book about worlds in games being hostile to the player - in a good way.
That is a good point! (From Inkle's book on game writing)
Oh my god that picture!
Absolutely love seeing the IGN comments realizing what we've all known for years and years: Jim Trinca is very good at this.
We see the back of a heavily winter-dressed character who's carrying a hatchet axe, arrows, a gun, a backpack and wearing a puffy coat and winter hat. They are prepared for the snowy wilderness we see in front of them, complete with a wolf howling on a ledge of rock.
Several years later The Long Dark story is finally complete, but "this isn't the end of meaningful development", Hinterland says www.eurogamer.net/long-dark-wi...
