  I remember seeing a version of snake that runs on a car dashboard as an easter egg (like, literal dashboard, tiny screen where the gas milage is shown)

  Any good litrpg recs? I’ve only read solo leveling and it was good

  So are you basically making a more modern flash game? I think all flash graphics were vector and that gave them a really cool look

  Even when people were saying that MS turned a new leaf and that they are better at managing all the studios that they buy, and that they’ll make more better games for Game Pass to be a success, I knew that this was coming. Microsoft has been nothing but consistent in this one thing: it’ll pivot hard in one direction, pour tons of green into it, hire the best people, and then fire everyone and abandon the idea forever.

  Zune, Windows Phones, Kinect, and now I guess XBOX. Well, looks like it lived long enough.

  Psychonauts 1 and 2.

  Some of the most imaginative big budget games in existence, from themes to art style to level design

  What have you been playing

  Jak and Daxter 2 via opengoal on Steam Deck. Such a clunky game, but it runs beautifully (except I had to stop right now because it crashed in the middle of the mission, but that’s one crash in several hours). This game feels like a sequence of levels that are just hard enough to be infuriating, but without feeling impossible. And the characters make it more interesting and easier to keep trying the same mission 20 times in a row.

  Thanks for doing these, this is some top quality content!

  I wonder if Microsoft is making dev mode free because hackers got close to a working exploit in retail mode. There was one shared almost an year ago, but it required a specific app from the store that had been deleted since, but maybe it led to something behind the scenes.
