So, uh, Disco Elysium: I don't really know that you can be terrible at this game, but I feel like I'm being exactly that. Every quest feels like it ends in failure, leaving me lost, and progression feels incremental. Bit of a life simulator, then?

Got further on a 5th attempted playthrough of Psychonauts than ever before, but after a few hours in I'm sending it to the "not-for-me" pile. I dig the early-00's Nick aesthetics but nothing else hits for me (plus emulation on PS4 is bad). Pic unrelated.

A pretty interesting take on the future of the indie scene in particular, and game development as a whole, in the world of consolidated subscription gaming.

Props for Sony managing to stay afloat despite being a small indie conglomerate that can't even buy a single mega-corporation for themselves.

The plugging in my ears has eased up a bit, so that's good... but it's developed into an incessant ringing that's been going on for three days now. I hope it's just inner ear pressure, but won't see a doctor until Sunday. #CurrentStatus:

Damn. Managed to somehow clog both of my ears. Can't hear shit and can't move around the house without bumping into stuff. Ear spray, do your magic. #CurrentStatus:

I guess they just weren't... the very best.

Our secret Santa fought an uphill battle against international shipping, local customs and the reindeer union (ha!), but he managed to fucking ace it, receiving a place of honor on our fridge. Morty, we loved those things you sent us. You're the best.

Uh, I really hope it's not Gwyneth Paltrow's head, because I do not have the equipment set up for a cold storage living room display.

I question the logic of investing resources in creating tons of content that only a subset of players will actually see, let alone meaningfully engage with. But it sure makes for a selling point on the back of Dying Light 2's box.

I mean, I could work, but I could also teach myself how to code memes instead of going to memegenerator like a normal person.

I came here a few months ago because I thought my video game rants are worth sharing (jury's still out), but I totally did not expect to discover this wonderful community. You're all beautiful people, and I hope your 2022 is as good as you are.

My SO was thrilled to hear the 2nd season of The Witcher outpaces my reading of the books and I could no longer go "this isn't how it happens in the books!" on every episode... so naturally I had to get the next book. Current status:

Best game: Returnal. Most aggravating game: Returnal. Thanks, I hate it: RE8's ending. Thanks, I love it: Switch OLED. Still waiting on PC: MH Rise. Combat Evolved, evolved: Halo Infinite. Finally played: 3D Mario (Odyssey, amazeballs). Metroid: Dread.

If you are an adult actress making a living for yourself in the year of our lord 2021, there is no need for you to walk into the ocean nor stay there. We have boats, and a small engine or even a paddle will do. Drowning is hella scary, don't do it.

EDIT: Sorry, guess I don't know how DMs work!

On my 31st birthday, my true love gave to me, Spidey decorations and a ton of caaandy~~ (pic in comments)

Merry Christmas everyone, to you and your families. Have fun, stay healthy, be loved.

Watch out Dtoid, Wahlberg's Sully is coming to say "Hi" to your moms.

So superhero movies are doing pretty well, but what about ongoing comics? I haven't been keeping up since Scott Snyder's Batman wrapped, but I'm thinking I'm back. So what's good? pic unrelated.

After sleeping on it, I think No Way Home is the weakest of the MCU Spidey movies, but it's still a mostly good time. Another pass at the script (the 1st half meanders while the 2nd sprints) and the removal of cringey meme lines would have made it great.

I, too, play the nintendos. (And this is obviously wrong because I've put way more hours into SMT V and it's not even here)

Day 1: You start playing Halo using KBAM. Day 2: "I can get used to this". Day 37: Your wife has left you. Your kids have been moved out of the country. You piss pure Mountain Dew.  This could have been avoided. Use a gamepad. For the children
