Reviews are mixed--poor controls, buggy, janky physics--but the positive stuff sounds right up my street. It'd be remiss of me not to plug it given my love of the studio's earlier game--I mean, it has a freaking VR Hillbilly Moonshine in it!

Ghost Town Mine Ride & Shootin' Gallery is one of my favorite VR games, one of those early hidden gems that got lost in the goldrush, taking an on-rails shooter and doing lots of fun and creative things with it. And apparently the long-awaited spiritual sequel came out a couple years back!
*Now* you go in with the insults.
I like exploring spooky places in VR, but "loads of plastic chairs" or "a really big sauna" isn't scary, is it? Still, some good bits, and my kids loved it.
Played Pools in VR, which had a pretty strong demo for a creepy walking sim, but perhaps lost something in the full game. The architectural horror goes from water slides emptying into inescapable bottomless water and vast buzzing holes in the floor to "creepy mannequins follow you".
I saw the Met Office acvount respond and was all "Wouldn't want to be in your shoes, mate".
Wake up to a "debate" about whether synthesizers and drum machines are "real instruments" or not. It's really raising my hackles.
It's called "having taste". *high fives*
Just saw someone saying they'd bought an album on the basis of enjoying a single track from it, and was it a good purchase.
Instead. Of Listening. To the album. They wanted other people. To tell them. IF. IT. WAS. GOOD. OR. NOT.
Okay. Deep breath.
It me.
Our LG was "updated" with some kind of AI nonsense we'll never use, at the cost of a) everything running wise and b) apps crashing randomly.
They are the worst.
NEW
I often think of how there was a secret separate tier of Twitter for celebrities with blue ticks, where they were only shown posts from people with blue ticks.

Oh I've never played it with friends. Because I haven't got any sadlol.
Still like it, but then I like exploring spooky locations in games.
Call of Duty Infinite has the usual "jump on a tank and throw in a grenade to stop it" sequence except you're jumping on a mech, ripping out the targeting mechanism of its gun-arm and twisting the arm around to make it shoot itself in the head. It is the best.
It's *really* good, but I can see why people wouldn't play it.
No, but thanks for the concern. We're anxious about the future of my wife's position given her company has gone through the first three steps, but there's little we can do about it. Hope you and yours are weathering this mess.
Just wondering if all the people in multiple tech and creative fields who've recently been '4. Laid off' also went through steps 1-3.
1. "We're calculating raises a little differently this cycle, in that not everyone will get one."
2. "We're on a hire freeze."
3. "Everyone must use AI more, to better train it to help you with your work."
It just told me I had 30+ new notifications. A heart attack is a nice way to start the day.
'Tis the season to get launch notifications for games you've forgot you'd added to your Steam wishlist.
As always, day one.
Tornado warning! Hiding in the basement for funsies.
It's a bit
and memes, is scored with music and copious sound effects while the creator is seemingly oblivious that *constantly trying to grab attention while you already hold the viewer's attention is part of the fucking problem.*
Watching a video about generation alphas's illiteracy, and while I don't disagree with the subject--I have a multiple post rant in my drafts on here addressing exactly this, from the perspective of a parent--it's infuriating that the essay is constantly cutting, constantly interjecting gags, stills-
Some way through this and it's lovely. Tactile puzzles, spooksome locations, and a cast of characters it's a joy to hang out with.
