  Edit: downvoted for not wanting to pay attention to stupid controversy about video games? Weird…

  It’s one thing to live peacefully in ignorance. I get it. it is exhausting keeping track of every shitty thing a company does when it’s so much easier at the end of an exhausting 9-5 shift to avoid news and play your games guilt free without thinking about who it’s hurting.

  It’s a completely separate thing to brag that your ignorance somehow makes your way of life superior.

  People caring about these issues, and sometimes leading to actions being taken because of that, all makes the gaming industry, or to be hyberbolic; the world a better place.

  It’s fine to avoid news on controversy and just blindly enjoy games, but don’t lie to yourself (and others) by pretending that it is a good thing.

  Seeing Tango go is actually hurtful. Hi-fi rush was a great IP and had the potential for a great sequel if given the chance.

  (I feel they wrapped it up nicely but left it open enough for a sequel.)

  I hope the employees can continue making great games elsewhere but it’s sad we will never see them develop the IP further.

  I think klei may be my favourite studio. They create amazing games that are all truly unique but backed by strong game design concepts.

  Mark of the ninja - great 2d stealth game were most games in the genre are 3d.

  Invisible Inc - great turn-based Rougelike stealth game.

  Don’t starve - probably one of the best survival games out there that relies on clever resource management rather than combat

  Oxygen not included - a base building survival game, that is well designed to ramp up difficulty with the long term needs of your base

  Griftlands - deck building game with a charming plot and interesting mechanics.

  Each game they output is truly unique and interesting experience with some really clever design choices, but I think the point they became my favourite studio is when I read their article on Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic rewards to appreciate how well thought out their games were.

  Haha. Glad you enjoyed it. Really great game that I think deserves more attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for emotional game recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend “in stars and time”. It is a turn-based RPG with loveable characters. I think it is best played blind so I’m hesitant to tell you more, but if you like games like undertale then I think you would like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boris Johnson asked experts if you could kill Covid by blowing hairdryer up nose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is an idiot. Boris plays the fool.

  I suspect this came about because he is trying to distract from a scandal in a Google search. Like when he said he likes to build model buses to distract from the scandal where he advertised lies about brexit on buses. Or when he said he doesn’t like working from home because it “makes him think of cheese” to distract from his illegal wine and cheese party during the covid19 lock down.

  The guy is pure irredeemable scum.

  Still uses °C but adds 273 to it: wow he must be some kind of genius.
