This is by pannenkoek2012, who you may know from his Super Mario 64 videos. You know, the one from 2016 about playing Watch for Rolling Rocks in "half" of an A press.

Some interesting analysis from Mat Piscatella about the state of the industry.

• Exclusives aren't driving console purchases anymore, as evidenced by Forza Horizon 5 most of all.
• Nintendo would likely benefit from this too, but they're unlikely to do so anytime soon.
• It's too early to predict any sort of success for Switch 2, as the numbers they're seeing right now may be little more than the supply being great enough to reach their biggest fans.
• Overall demand for gaming hasn't gone down and has stabilized. Those dollars won't be distributed evenly, but the enthusiasts are showing up.

Today's game is (finally) some more of The Last of Us. I discovered the crashing i was having seems to be a combination of the game thinking my PC was a Steam Deck and thus messing with some Specs, and the game being a little too powerful. I lowered it down to High and everything seems good now. We'll have to see though for sure.

I finally managed to make it out of that damn hotel. It was an awesome segment but holy fuck did the crashing draw it out way too long. I'm now out on the streets again and i appreciate the change in environment.

They have a segment where you're being chased by an armored truck, and i'm starting to suspect the Naughty Dog loves their Armored Truck chases. Uncharted 4 had one too. Granted that was far more of a scripted sequences while this one is more like run and duck to cover. It's not a bad thing though. It was a lot of fun doing this segment and i loved sneaking past it on the ledge.

While i was in the Basement segment and dealing with the Bloater, i struggled a bit with it. I ended up using a combo of the Shotgun and Molotovs. Even with that it was a bit of a challenge due to the narrow hallways. On the plus side though i got this sick (albeit dark) photo of the Bloater in a scuffle with Joel.

While playing i keep noticing a series of parallels between this and Uncharted 4. I'm not sure why but i feel like i've seen this exact scene before in Uncharted 4 as well only on Libertalia.Maybe i'm just over analyzing things, but damn is this fun to be reminded of.

Overall though, i'm glad to resolved the issue i was having and picking up the game again. I really didn't like living it unfinished so starting it up again is fun.

EA just gave us our first real glimpse at Battlefield 6, and it’s loud, dramatic, and packed with destruction. The trailer kicks off with a fictional U.S.

Poor timing considering the subnautica drama

The group responsible is "Collective Shout", the same org has targeted Steam before.

There are calls on social media now to contact Mastercard, Visa and co. and file complaints.

Today's game is Flyknight. A friend gifted this too me on Steam, and from what i can tell it's a little Dungeoncrawler where you play as a fly. Finally, my biggest fantasy has been fulfilled! It has multiplayer which is why he gifted it to me, and honestly, while i'm not a fan usually of Dungeon Crawlers, it's good fun to go through with a friend.

I named my Character Dan. I made them skinny as fuck for some reason and pale. It contrasts nicely with my friends character Sir Buzzing.

I've picked a sword as my weapon of choice in this game. From what i understand the player has three slots for weapons, this one is just my favorite though. I swapped to a one handed one and a shield though for maximum defense. The combat in this game is pretty basic but fun. The best way i can think to describe it is like Skyrim. You have the swing with stamina, the block, and the spell. You also have to drink potions to heal.

Potions refill at Campfires and give you 4 charges to use, which is nice. The combat isn't to challenging. Especially if you get the hang of the parry system.

The game also features fishing which is nice. I legit love when games have optional fishing mechanics (looking at you Red Dead Redemption 2). Me and my Friend have a tradition of just fishing in games too relax. We've done it in Red Dead, we did it in VRChat one time when we were dicking around with it, and we do it in Zomboid too. We just enjoy anything except real fishing.

We stopped for the night because we had no clue how long this dungeon is and didn't want to keep pushing on. We ended for the night with my friend trying to get an air assault on me. What he didn't know was that i learned my lesson from Halo PvP and found an item that blocks friendly fire. SO NOW i'm the only one that can commit friendly fire. Knowing the two of us i will (not) use this power wisely.

Inhuman. I can't believe how they would fire everybody without telling them what's going on, just shutting off all their accounts and leaving them hanging.

It's been two decades but now people will finally stop telling you install counter strike source for the weapons to show up.
