I plan to get it for my kid, they love creating games. Hopefully it helps them connect some dots about art and such. I plan to play with it too, excited to watch all my wonderfully intellectual game opinions get torn to bits by actual game dev experience.

Very deceptive headline, they’re still pro-public ownership. I used to get updates from Canary, but headlines like this that are solely intended to stir the pot are why I unsubbed.

AI vids can be pretty damn hard to spot these days. My mom sent me a vid on silver investing and it even took me a minute to be sure. She wouldn’t have spotted it if I didn’t raise the question, we were spooked
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 3 days ago:
I used to play a lot of old school Doom and stuff like it (Rise of the Triad, Shadow Warrior lol) but I didn’t see anything in that article that was quite as story-forward as Strife. I still love a game that goes highly verbal on me.

I was really young when I was into it, too. Thirteen at most.

- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 3 days ago:
I don’t know for sure if it was my money or just my choice, but I went with Strife (1996). I chose it in the store after a long deliberation, my uncle was trying to get me to go with Half Life but I was drawn in by something on the back of the box. PC games used to come in big empty boxes with a lot of art and info on them.
It was unforgettable. Basically if you made an RPG in the old Doom engine with the sensibilities of the nineties and an overly ambitious art department. It was surprisingly well written, and I’ve been chasing that sense of an expansive, dark yet cartoonish, novelistic RPG ever since.

My child psych professor was adamant about this damn near fifteen years ago, it’s pretty well established that there is basically no amount of screen time that doesn’t make kids worse off.
- Comment on Is it "weird" for kids to co-sleep with parents through their teenage years? 6 days ago:
I only did that as a young kid after getting night terrors. Around 8 I stopped entirely? I may have a touch of childhood amnesia though.
My kid is about 8 now, and he’s welcome to join us near the mornings, but his hypermobility and the fact that our bed is quite hot already makes joining us in the middle of the night a total non-starter. Nowadays we just soothe and reassure, then tuck him back in.

- Comment on Nier Automata 1 week ago:
I bounced off this game myself. I was drawn in by the hype, but after I recovered from spontaneously transforming into a cartoon wolf, I was left with a game that just feels like it gets in its own way trying to force a sense of spectacle and gravitas.

Trying to carve out spaces that are free from political speech is inherently a political stance. I don’t relish that we live in political times either, but that isn’t a good solution.
- Comment on My kind of Doctor 1 week ago:
I haven’t done much with turn based tactical games in recent years, I think my fav aspect of TBW is how the fictional conceits have a fun way of justifying the gameplay, and really taking those ideas as far as possible. Some of the later battles are so elaborately orchestrated that it’s impossible to conceptualise the actual sequence of events, but it all hangs together because it’s a story about an actual wizard with time powers. I also like that the protagonists are generally non lethal, it makes them more genuinely heroic rather than just “the best at killing”.
- Comment on My kind of Doctor 1 week ago:
It’s rare I find a game that I will play straight through and beat, these days. I hope you’ll circle back to it occasionally, the story is really satisfying to finish.

I didn’t think either of us were particularly bent out of shape about it, pretty minor misunderstanding. I feel like we can all walk away friends unless we try to litigate this? I dunno

People are allowed to be particular about pronouns. I just tagged that account she/her, it’s not a hill unless we make it one. Helps if they do that themselves, but I can hardly criticise.
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
Maybe? I didn’t mean any offense, buddies are any gender for me and anyone can be like my kid, who happens to be a lad. At least until I’m notified to the contrary…

Sorry bud. Might be a bit of the old ADHD, if you’re anything like my charming young lad
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
The joke is deliberately horrible, but if you’ve ever been infodumped by a kid with pressured speech who can’t organise their thoughts and you have auditory processing issues it’s also horribly relatable, a bit.
