I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and the third-person shooting was interesting but wow, the two main characters have no chemistry with each other.

Continuing with SOMA. Just had a big revelation but now the base’s network is down, so I need to go reset the router.
I’ve also started Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo for when I’m in the mood for something more light-hearted. I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and instantly loved it. It’s very obviously inspired by GBA pixel graphics. All the character sprites are insanely expressive. It even has the Pokemon Ruby-Sapphire-Emerald-style trumpets in the music!
And for extra verisimilitude, there are a bunch of graphics options to make it feel like a GBA game. LCD filter, a “strict” pixel mode, a rotatable 3D model to view the game in, and even screen glare if you really want it!

The story was so corny. The soundtrack is fantastic, though. I bought the soundtrack after finishing the game.
- Comment on SOMA, off the backlog after nine years 1 week ago:
I mainly wrote about my experience. Don’t worry, I only cover actual in-game events in the section I marked as a spoiler.

I believe there are official wallpapers for OneShot. They might even be included with the game files.

The character writing, music, and high-resolution art carry this game.
- Comment on Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam 1 month ago:
If you liked Pseudoregalia, get Corn Kidz 64!
It’s another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

I’ve played through Bits & Bops and I can confirm that there’s also a “beat 7” minigame here

- Comment on Privacy respecting "Charades" game for Android 2 months ago:
There are a few web adaptations of Monikers, a party game that has a charades component. I’d imagine a bit of the fun of the original is lost, though, because part of the setup of the real game is everyone building the deck together.

Okay, but does it beat YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!

The Bill’s Big Thrill glitch in Half-Life 2 is especially bizarre.

Oh man, that’s big news. Lazer’s standard mode been essentially playable since like 2020. Recent updates have been chasing corner cases and adding features with no end in sight.

Same. I don’t have any immediate need for any of the newly announced hardware products, but I’m hopeful they succeed because they indirectly benefit me as a Linux gamer.

Really, how many people cared about or even remember the original? The original program was a flop but that hasn’t tainted the name.

The Index controllers have touch-sensitive sticks and actual finger tracking so they measure how far your fingers are from the body of the controller. They put touch-sensitive sticks on the Deck as well.

Yee, I got to play Bloodthief’s demo at a Steam Next Fest this year. I also spotted Bombun there as well, which I didn’t know was Godot. Last year’s also had PVKK, which caught my eye.

SCP-4098 seemingly changes people spreading communication properly, specifically communication proximally Site-94 centered, procedurally. Said communication prohibits speaker’s choices, producing speech constructional primaries: SCP.

Oh, hey voidplaces! I stumbled upon that series of maps while playing Jazztronauts. In my case, I ended up finding voidmall and it was so cool to explore with friends. I briefly talked about it in my writeup on Jazztronauts.
