I’m just reading this ancient topic now. I will say this – I’m reading fewer and fewer articles on major game websites that I used to follow. But it’s not because I’m disinterested in gaming news, but rather that I am disinterested in THEIR gaming news. I have mild interest, at best, in throw-away small-talk articles covering the same AAA games…[Read more]

Yeah that’s gonna cost ya. But it seems worthwhile, and you’re lining up a fun holiday season for yourself

Yeah, I can definitely see that. The internet hate machine is so toxic – there’s no way I’d call it “trash” at this point, and I can picture already why folks who’ve played it say they wouldn’t mind a sequel

Did the Patreon ID thing every get a look?

I haven’t had much time to game lately. I managed to get a big job, and now I’m preparing a cross-country move to make that happen. I’m still chipping away at Horizon Zero Dawn and recently picked up The Order 1886 for $3 or whatever it was on sale. Crazy price – couldn’t say no. Honestly, it’s not bad so far. It’s not good; it’s shocking how…[Read more]

They’re just intimidated by the scale of it – too much choice of what to play :-P

Wow, that is a seriously drool-worthy collection!

Howdy – I took a stab at setting this up, but have run into a problem. I don’t know if I’m being super dense, but I can’t find a user ID # anywhere. Is it possible they did away with this? My user ID / Creator Page URL simply ends with /RexRanae (which is problematic, because our GameLust setting for Patreon currently requires a numerical…[Read more]

It might be cool to try and do joint articles when it comes to some topics – i’m thinking almost like a transcript or “multiple takes on this news” type thing. I think it’s generally impractical for actual podcasts involving myself, but I could imagine some kind of textual form of that type of “real gamers’ dialogue”

I’ve been spending a lot of time with Forza Horizon 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, and am working through some modded Morrowind now. Oh and I started a new game with Planescape Torment Remastered

I’ve got a problem

How professional is GameMaker? Like, is it a serious platform for making a game your friends would want to spend real time playing? Or is it more built for indulging a creative outlet but without the intent for the end product to be anything you would want to return to as a player? That is, more of an “it’s about the journey, not the destination”…[Read more]

That’s actually a decent list when it’s laid out like that. But I’d like to see more “full size” 3rd party IP developed around the Switch. Some crazy Shadowrun RPG or something, IDK. Although there’s a decent variety up there it still reeks of the norm for Wii-WiiU content

Got Dragon Quest – Builders, which I’m excited about. I enjoyed the demo – it’s the perfect game for me to unwind after crazy work days and a month ahead full of interviews for a new job. That was the only game-related one, but I also got some pretty cool stuff including an antique kimono with some wonderful artistry on the inside
