Even if you aren’t into video games, this essay is worth your time

It’s a great exploration of anxiety, yes video games but also other media, and how we deal with reaching the end of a story…

and other things in life.

If you have just under 24 minutes to spare, I think it’s worth your time.

Once again, all of Destiny 2’s expansions are on major ultra sale

Probably for the lead up to the next major expansion coming July 15.

There’s a $22 bundle in Steam (console platforms too I believe) that includes everything back through Shadowkeep (the oldest expansion available), as well as the huge current expansion The Final Shape, and the pass for all three currently available seasons.

Granted, those seasons and their content will likely disappear once the Edge of Fate drops on July 15. But it’s all decent-to-good content with a handful of great weapons to chase. And the seasonal content shouldn’t take you long to cruise through.

Pretty sure that’s the best price I’ve ever seen, especially when including the current expansion and seasons. Never been a better time or price to hop into Destiny 2.

Marvel Rivals should release a major update with the typical hype machine but the only new feature is that players are now allowed to look up so they get a chance to ACTUALLY SHOOT THE FLYING ENEMIES

Credit where it's due, Marvel Rivals

Since I've completed the battle pass for the current season, the game alerted me to the fact I've built up enough earnable currency to trade in for the real-money store

This is conveyed by an alert badge at the top level of the game's menu; it's hard to miss. Kinda cool of them

Why does Titanfall keep getting these tiny or no-size updates in Steam? Whyyyy? 😭

[infinitehench]

Yeah sure Marvel Rivals and Disney+ I'll get right on "representing" you!

(This is a spray not associated with any character. It just costs $3 to rep Disney+ because lol)

I'm going to sue

Starting to wonder if some game titles are more a call for help than anything else

Case in point: Forgive Me Father

Discussing the pros and cons of Rapture from Bioshock with friends and...

I just want to be able to throw bees at people and watch a whale swim past my window is that so much to ask

Tonics are good, actually

Hot take? I like Tonics because I can target farm a specific weapon without having to stop the entire flow of gameplay to go click on engrams at a vendor.

Pop it, play relevant activities, toss on a YouTube, podcast, whatever, and the weapon you want just drops for the next X minutes. I really like that.

Redacted - Episode 1

I love that fans are still making content like this. Plus, it's just impressive—20 minutes of both full animation and in-game footage.

Skate Story looks absolutely wild

The ethereal aesthetic, the nonsensical but somehow sensical plot and lore, the soundtrack. The soundtrack. And SkillUp showcases it so damn well.

IT’S A MARVEL RIVALS JEFF CELEBRATION

LOOK AT HIS LIL COAT

IT HAS A CUTOUT FOR HIS DORSAL FIN

LOOK AT IT

Not a single Vanguard in the Marvel Rivals start screen

So what's the message

[infinitehench]

honestly understandable because I can also get long waiting times to fix issues and improve the game, but its the complete lack of news that's killing me, the more the silence from team cherry goes on the more intrusive thoughts come into my mind that they just ran with the money

Sooooooo

Sounds like I can't count on your donations? 😆

[infinitehench]

I understand being frustrated with team cherry. I really do, but I mean this in the kindest way possible in saying that crowdfunding to fly to australia and interview them is not the way to deal with it. As frustrating as it is to not get any info about it, the reality is that as fans and complete strangers we just have to deal with not having all the information we want. The time will pass regardless, so let them announce it when they're ready. Flying there won't make it come out any faster

No

[infinitehench]

If Silksong doesn't appear at The Game Awards tonight, I will launch a crowd-funding campaign to fly to Australia and interview Team Cherry by any means necessary

I am like 77% serious. I'm done with this

I have a passport. I have the time and could probably pay for a portion of it myself

Star Citizen has been in production for what, a decade? Beyond Good and Evil 2 is apparently at like 12 years, now longest in development of all time?

It does *not* take nearly a decade to create a sequel to a 2D metroidvania about bugs

It doesn't

I'm done
