Damn, sorry to hear about the nerve damage. That’s really rough to deal with. I hope you’re to lose yourself in Firebreak a bit next week; I’m also looking forward to it, and I’m assuming that while some of my friends will probably play it on Game Pass for a few days and drop it, I’m hoping at least one will stick with it for a while. And if not? I’m also intent on playing it solo. I love the Remedyverse.
As for my own gaming, I played a bunch of demos from some of the RPG directs from last week. Dreamed Away is looking to be a particularly inspired horror take on Undertale’s gameplay with Earthbound’s wrapper.
I was excited for the Space Marine remaster, but…I only played perhaps 1 hour or so…it’s super disappointing, but that’s on me for getting excited before it came out (again).
Firebreak is 100% my next ‘big’ excitement, I’m so ready to play it!!! I’m right there with you with the Remedyverse!!!
I was waiting for this post, thank you! Since I discovered this “series” I’ve been hooked. It’s nice to read some long content in a non clickbaity way (that seems to be the norm in the industry nowadays).
I’m really sorry about your nerve damage and hope you recover as soon as possible!
As for what I’ve been playing, right now I’m going through Blasphemous 2 (i loved the first one too) and a nice surprise: Pippistrello and the cursed yo-yo. A zelda-like adventure in which you play as a bat with a yo-yo fighting industry magnates to help your aunt recover the monopoly on energy she built to keep a grip on the city (I know! The setting is original, to say the least).
The gameplay makes you think of 2d zelda games, but the yo-yo makes combat (and even movement) a completely different thing of other games, I suggest you to try the demo!!
Oh that’s so kind of you to say! I have to say, I’ve been pretty down about it all, but writing this up made me so very happy. I really love Lemmy for how easy it is to share these long-form posts :)
Pippistrello and the cursed yo-yo
Sounds wonderful, I’m looking this up now! It sure sounds weird, but the longer the gaming industry runs and ruins great things, these odd little different ones just make me happy!

Happy to read this (the part about writing this making you happy I mean!!).
Lemmy is great for sharing long posts, much like reddit was before the enshitification. It’s good to see long elaborated posts here among all the memes and other low effort content. And in the case of your posts, they are also a nice read in my mornings because of all the possitivity and joy you can feel when reading them. You really pour a lot of that in your posts and it feels!

I love “'weird” or unconventional games. And right now, it’s the indie world that provides these gems. In an industry that looks for the short-term profit like the “mainstream” videogame one, they rarely innovate anymore. They just pick a formula that works and copy it until they find a more profitable one, so innovation now happens mostly in the indie world, giving birth to games as odd as this one, a yo-yo player bat that goes around a city beating corpo suits to recover a monopoly! You won’t see EA making this kind of game, ever.
Its kinda like a ‘test’ (the image itself, I mean!)
Typically I use a picture of a girl by an arcade machine, but after some few comments off and on expressing their dislike for it, I thought I might try something else!
Hey, the bi flag similarity got me to open the post when the girl in the arcade hadn’t. Wish I’d been reading these the whole time though, great stuff! I’ll definitely check out future posts, no matter which image you use. :)
I’m very sorry to hear about your situation! I wish you a quick recovery. Your posts are my favourite part of this community, so thank you very much for taking your time to ramble with us for a bit :)
Great mix of stuff in here! I was really excited about that rg slide! I watched some impressions and it’s just so chunky and apparently uncomfortable, but still so alluring.
This was such a nice read! I can totally feel that you are inspired by old video game magazines. Feels so fresh and your personality really does shines through 😊
Also gifs convey so much at a glimpse, no gaming site should use just Screenshots I’m convinced now 😅. No really, I got interested in a few games on the list just because I “felt” them way more than seeing Screenshots on some news site.
I love those posts, thank you so much.
With Captain blood and tridents tale we even have 2 pirate themed games today. I am surprised by Captain blood, I know quite some niche stuff in video games, but never heard of it.
The one click mods coming to gog are really cool, allows you to step in a curated alternative form of a beloved game without the hassle. I’m curious what we will get there. I could imagine a version for gothic 1, which is such an interesting game, but very clunky - but there are fan patches to address that.
Btw. I see an “Arari” where it should probably be “Atari”. Not to nitpick, but rather to express my appreciation for the post.
I’m also looking forward to the next remedy release, those guys are very special to me.
Again, thanks for the writeup, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the wider look including the PS2 and gog office rooms. ☀️
Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).
Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂).
A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?
The legacy console editions of Minecraft have always done a good job in my opinion as a tutorial. It’s hard to skip it (or at least was for me) and it really walks you through the basics. Then you have the choice of learning more or just… going out and playing minecraft
These posts are some of the best content on Lemmy and bring me back to the early 00s days of reading the physical PC Gamer magazines in all their glory.
My partner had been pushing me to join Lemmy for awhile, but I came across this sub and saw your posts and was motivated to finally make an account. I really enjoyed reading through the backlog of them and the amount of effort you put into your posts is much appreciated. Steam Deck, GOG and Linux are some of my main interests in gaming so it’s really great to read your enthusiastic and positive posts on these topics.
I’m also a big fan of what GOG stands for and thank you for posting that job post listing. I’m really tempted to apply to one of the positions even though I don’t live in Poland. I’m pretty qualified and it would be amazing to get to work there.
Also, as I’m new to the community I was wondering what the preference here is for long-form multi news post summaries vs short “breaking” news posts. There’s a few other people I follow through RSS who make these type of long-form posts and I’ve started making some of my own on my personal website. If it’s okay, I would like to take inspiration from your news summary posts to compile some news from other more niche topics in gaming and post them here if that would be of interest.
It can all feel a bit strange to begin with, that’s what I found anyway. There can be a sense of being in a…idk void where you’re not heard for awhile, but give it some time. Join communities here which catch your eye, comment on what interests you, and by all means YES - please do submit anything and everything here!!!
I’m pretty qualified and it would be amazing to get to work there.
form what I heard after posting that, the location was important for some of the jobs, not all. So, I’d say you’re going to only know if you’re the right fit, and meant to work there, if you apply!!! I do know the people there are absolutely lovely and care so much about gaming. Do it!!!
As to what exactly, and how exactly you should share on Lemmy/here in this community…that’s entirely 100% up to you. If anyone tries to tell you the ‘right’ way to do something, they’re clearly lost. We on FOSS spaces like here and Mastodon really, really need more contributions. I know that 99% of this kind of space has the life of the posts in the comments, that’s the nature of a forum-based world like Lemmy is, but I like to try things a little differently here.
Whatever you do, and however you do it, I’m excited to see it!
And again, welcome to Lemmy. You’re in the right place :) :) :) :) :) :)
Although I haven’t played a lot of gam es you play, at least not enough to have a discussion, I upvote every time out of sheer admiration for your dedication to post every day. Most days I have to remind myself multiple times to brush my teeth.
