"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it. "In the words of Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), the computer was always 'the thing that gets us to the thing,' a vector for connection, expression, or some other deeper human need."
Do you have any weird gaming / sound memory combinations?
It was 1998. My brother got Tenchu for Christmas. He also got the Phil Collins' Greatest Hits CD. Which is why I can't play this without singing Easy Lover.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore… BEAT! - Fun game! Campy af, but the combat is a blast! Goofy story, and the game had some minor annoyances, but it didn’t overstay its welcome.
Ultimately, a wonderful palette cleanser from Octopath Traveler 2 AND a perfect prep game for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance next Friday.
Morning Folks! This is one of those blog posts that sort of became one thing without meaning to. I talked a bit about #GuildWars2 and the announcement of "Expansion Five" that is coming at some point today.
In a character creator for ages before setting out into the rest of the game...Only to face the final boss: character name...And neither a default name nor a name generator built-in.
Forget the Souls games, the most difficult type of game is the Character Creator.
The hardest metagame to avoid sometimes is fear of missing out, subsequent backlog buildup and choice paralysis.
A winning strat is to wait new releases out and focus on playing what interests you of what you already have to completion before getting any new games.
The Planet Crafter : un jeu de survie/craft/terraforming modeste techniquement mais qui te plonge parfaitement dans l'ambiance du délire. Prise en main top, on ne s'ennuie pas et l'exploration est top. Cerise sur le gâteau, on peut y jouer en solo ou multi jusqu'à 10.
ChatGPT is down, Kaspersky makes an attempt at a Linux Antivirus, Google workers leaking Nintendo private info, PS4 Emulator installing a crypto miner and A LOT more!
Huh, this is kinda cool. With some of the updates to Lemmy, I'm starting to see posts from an instance's gaming community thanks to following the gaming tag.
It looks like they're trying to make it so the community names are read by Mastodon (& maybe other fediverse microblogs) as tags.
Tried searching around but didn't surface any clear info: anyone know roughly how many people have to use a tag on Steam before it starts appearing for others to apply/search by?
