You are most likely right, most extant video game "blogs" look borderline ancient... so most writers must be going to greener pastures. damn shame.

I am sortaa asking for a specific breed of publication, not necessarily one who's authors conform to my worldview, but rather one that is not overtly trying to impress some kind of ideology on you. For example, @SkillUp might at times say something which I disagree with - but, he is obviously...

i always found it ominous when a youtuber or video i used to watch just got memory-holed... really makes you think about things: how fleeting our reality and history is..

i personally found it to be yet another derivative of the corporate "sandbox" model, as Charwo elegantly explained: "I will tell you why all modern games suck Because the corporate mentality is that a game setting is playground for manchildren no matter how grim the setting or serious the...

Every other forum which enjoyed the splendor of free discourse — that I invested any consequential amount of time/energy into — was either nuked [giggle], attacked by state-sponsored actors [bot raids, disinformation, cancelled, etc], or dissolved under mysterious circumstances... Reddit...

Growing trend: Games made by anonymous developers - does this bother anyone else? I know, I know video games are big money now, and therefore you must expect an influx of <cough> FINANCIALLY MOTIVATED <cough> — and probably less impassioned — games. Maybe, maybe this is just because I care a...

Absolutely love this idea, veteran game devs hardly jump on YouTube and start spilling industry secrets - much less legendary ones.

Ensure that your game(s) are an evolution upon those which inspired them - and not just a formulaic nostalgia trip. That is what distinguishes the legendary titles from the "spiritual successors": the "spiritual successors" never escape the shadow of their inspirations, they are lost to time.

Questions like his bewilder me far more than they should for a self-proclaimed heterosexual male. Uh, idk? Name any strong-headed, assertive female character, like Cassidy Rose - I find her personality very attractive; but "hot"? not really... I might consider a female character's physique as...

[Deponia!] Endearing, really endearing, and adorable too, love the characters, the writing is sublime, I can find so much joy in adventure games if I just overlook the puzzles. you will sometimes play a game where the pure distilled love from the developers bleeds through and you just feel that...

Video games became the most lucrative [entertainment] industry on Earth is what happened... ...and rampant corporate consolidation commenced - just like every other industry. However, I am a staunch objector to the posited "decline of video games" and allusions to the 1983 crash, the indie...
