Specifically created for the grift.

Walters is a piece of shit.

And at this point, that act should be amended. The Geese are fine. There’s no reason to protect them now.

OK, here me out: an Iron Dome but instead of keeping missiles out it keeps geese out.

“Oh you play games on a console? YOU SHOULD SET UP A LINUX GAMING PC.”

The thing that actually needs to happen here is make hunting geese legal.

They are trash birds. And there are too many of them.

That was Chris Gaines, actually.

I agree. I’m using it right now!

But they have certainly been outlining some poor decisions in the last few weeks.

Switch to Firefox? By Mozilla? The company that just said they are ramping up ads and AI garbage?

Good luck.

Ok.

Everyone on Lemmy either says one of two things when any console news is posted:

• Build a Linux gaming rig!
• Get a Steam Deck!

On the second point, you are right. You are trading licensing games from Sony or MS to licensing games from Gabe and his yachts.

I did a quick search on how many PlayStation Plus subscribers there are, and according to one site as of March 2023 there were 47M worldwide.

So just a small community.

Bummer.

Reminder that there’s a “lite” version of cnn that’s just a list of links and text.

Yeah, that is a crazy way to look at it.

We talkin’ ‘bout Bugsnax?

Astro Bot.

The market is so saturated with these type of shooters — especially ones with generic army dudes.

I’m not really surprised.

At this point if I have to print something I just go to the library. I’m fortunate, but it’s been like two years since I’ve had to print something on actual paper.

This game got me good. The atmosphere and way it drips out puzzle after puzzle is so rewarding. I drew maps. I wrote down a litany of notes on my iPad to keep track of. I tried to solve everything I could on my own until I just couldn’t any more. It felt like playing games as a kid where you had to have paper handy and wrote down passcodes.

Pouring over every inch of the map was so fun, and while I do think there will be copy cats to this game pop up in the next year, I don’t think anyone will be able to capture the magic of this again. It’s like its own singular entity that no one else has ever done. Not in this way.

For that, it’s my game of the year. Astro Bot is my second, since it’s a technically near perfect game. But it’s also simply peak platformer. Animal Well is novel. It’s just built different.
