“The kid lost his mind: ‘You’re the guy from Guitar Hero! Do you play real guitar too?’”: how a 2000s video game phenomenon made Slash famous all over again
Guitar Hero was a worldwide smash hit – and it introduced Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash to a whole new audience
New experiments with Unreal Engine 5, Niagara. A prototype of a magnetic device for collecting various bio material. I have a lot of gameplay ideas where it can be used and how: plants, insects, crafting, fuel or things to scare away creatures... Maybe you will have ideas too?
Today’s #throwbackthursday is this simple animated NiGHTs chao that I did sometime in mid-2009. All of the frames were drawn in MS Paint, and I used a website to animate it, don’t remember the name of it right now. My chao anatomy went through a weird phase during that time.
If all #VideoGames were offered as free OR paid on Steam, how would you prefer them? Would you prefer to play all games for free or would you prefer to pay for them to have them delivered to you via Steam? Note: Free ones are installed solo. No launcher, no achievements, no cloud save, no friends list, no Steam year-in-review, no hours played counter, no Steam Workshop, no Steam cards, no game decorations in Steam points shop, but you don't have to pay for any game, ever.
Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.

There have been a lot of think pieces posted lately about #PathOfExile#Necropolis league and whether or not it was "bad". I dive into some of my thoughts about the subject and end up writing my own rather lengthy think piece... further adding to the problem.
Oh lovely, helpful people of the internet. I am Natalie Imbruglia'd (torn). Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, or XCOM 2. I love both of these games, and one of them will be streaming tonight at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits.
Flying a drone over this mess... I won't show you the drone itself, because now it's just a sphere. I haven't thought about the design yet. The drone will have a lot of mechanics, I hope... Now there is only movement gameplay and flashlight 🤖😘

While Letterboxd seems to be the popular option for logging and reviewing movies, there doesn't seem to be a consensus option for video games. In the past I've used Backloggery, Grouvee, and Playfire (RIP), but dropped those years ago.
So, what does everyone on the fediverse use for logging/reviewing video games?
