Summer Game Fest’s opening showcase might have kicked things off, but we just polished off the main meal: Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition 2024. Watch the full show here! If you aren’t bursting at the seams with all the amazing titles shown, you are colossus among humanity. But for us mere mortals, I’ve cooked up an easy-to-digest round up, with each entry accompanied by my very first…

All the hard work, late nights, and endless cups of coffee paid off our game earned the prestigious Special Recognition award at this year's Digital Dragons! Can you believe it?

If I had a dollar for every time Atari tried rebooting Yars Revenge with cute anime girls, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice...

Can I offer you some middle-aged mustachioed men in this trying time?

When I tell y'all I screamed at that Pizza Tower reveal

[mynnthia]

compiling my headcanons for what video games dungeon meshi characters would like, if they were gamers in modern day

some taken from this post and my reblog additions there. added more characters, with some suggestions by friends/mutuals (marked by *asterisk ).

this can also be a games recommendation list based on your fav/most relatable characters too, if you want

characters that are not are included are bc i dont have ideas for them. if i only list the genre name but not any specific titles, its bc im not familiar enough with the character/genre to pick a specific game.

this list is, of course, biased towards games im more familiar with. feel free to ask me to elaborate on my choices or make suggestions in the comments

Laios' party:

Laios: plays lots of Monster Hunter. loves Spore but he doesnt often play past the tribal stage. likes Pokemon but he's more focused on catching the pokemon than following the story. played WolfQuest and DragonFable back in the day. enjoyed the concept of Bugsnax but wasn't interested in dealing with the NPCs

Marcille: mainly Dwarf Fortress, RTS games, some colony sims. but also sometimes The Sims, and dollmaker dress-up games. i could see her also enjoying Rollercoaster Tycoon and making elaborately-themed parks. might also occasionally indulge in some visual novels if she's in the mood for narrative she has Stardew Valley so she can have something to play co-op with falin, but its not a game she plays a lot of otherwise. when playing with falin, marcille micromanages the farm to maximize productivity, and does the decorations

Chilchuck: puzzle games and hidden object/escape room games as a video game-equivalent to finding/dismantling traps and lockpicking. i think he'd also enjoy Bejeweled.

Senshi: mainly Wii games and Cooking Mama. occasionally plays Snake on his 15-year-old nokia phone. i dont think he would enjoy games like Overcooked or restaurant manager games, because he likes to take his time making food, not stressing about customer service

Falin: some *Legend of Zelda games – she likes the exploration aspect in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, maybe also some of the toon zelda games like Minish Cap or Wind Waker she also plays Pokemon (*Pokemon Go when she's traveling), and i think she would enjoy some indie games, like Penko Park or Chicory: A Colorful Tale. plays Stardew Valley co-op with marcille – falin mainly takes care of the animals, mining, and picking the crops. occasionally makes improvement suggestions that marcille didnt think of

Izutsumi: i could see her enjoying games with parkour mechanics, like *Assassin's Creed, or Mirror's Edge. or maybe something simple but requiring cat-like swipes, like Fruit Ninja. despite her impatience, i think she could also enjoy action games with interesting longer narratives, as evidenced by [this omake] (relevant portion pictured below), so maybe *Final Fantasy 7 – my friend who's familiar with the game said "she’d find Cloud and Vincent relatable"

[ID: a dungeon meshi omake, where laios' party watches a nightmare monster manifest marcille's dream. there are snippets of dramatic soap opera-like dialogue. the rest of the party are initially enthusiastic but get bored over time, meanwhile izutsumi remains enthralled]

Kabru's party

Kabru: definitely Crusader Kings. maybe also some rpgs with relationship/faction mechanics, such as *Fire Emblem (one of the older ones or FE:3H) or Fallout: New Vegas (hes maxing out the speech stat asap) i think he would also enjoy mystery games like Pentiment and Return of the Obra Dinn – he would love the process of getting familiar with the many characters and deducing "who did what" in both games.

Rin: she takes pride in being an indie gamer (translating her disdain for upper class magic academy mages -> disdain for AAA games). given her chain-lightning magic in canon, i think she'd enjoy games with AOE-type magic, so maybe games such as Vampire Survivors. my mutual also suggested she might enjoy indie mystery visual novels like *Paranormasight, and that her AAA guilty-pleasure would be *Final Fantasy 14 – that rin is "a hardcore ff14 raider. would join PUGs and shot-call every week. #holm and diya might also play ff14 casually with rin but holm would be fishing mainly"

Mickbell: mainly Bethesda games like Fallout and Skyrim– enjoys the bootstrapper power fantasy in them. the type to go out of his way to pick up all the loot he can, to later sell

Kuro: enjoys the same games as Mickbell, but for the open-world exploration and investigation factors

Toshiro and Tansu's party:

Namari: her interest in fighting and weapons could translate to brawler/fighting games and action games with a focus on weapon stats – so maybe *Street Fighter, *God of War, and/or *Dark Souls. might play *Monster Hunter with laios but for the weapons. i could also see her occasionally enjoying truck simulators

Toshiro (Shuro): has the perseverance for soulslikes and other high-difficulty action and/or metroidvania games, but would take his time overthinking item/weapon synergies sometimes. given [his fondness for bugs], i could also see him enjoying Hollow Knight

Tade: would enjoy the cute aesthetics and lighthearted gameplay of Animal Crossing and Katamari. would also like idol anime rhythm games

Kiki: i think she would enjoy horror games such as Resident Evil, but would play it while super chill. i dont have much reasoning for this aside from vibes

Canaries:

Mithrun: plays Doom. got into Hollow Knight but still hasn't finished it because he keeps getting lost. senshi introduces him to Cooking Mama later on, which he finds surprisingly therapeutic

Cithis: plays Hitman and enjoys staging elaborate accident kills. i think she'd also enjoy The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, with her background as a devious fortune-teller

Fleki: surreal indie games like Hylics. also plays Team Fortress 2, and is a scout main. occasionally joins lycion in Animal Jam

Lycion: active WolfQuest and Animal Jam player. occasionally joins fleki in tf2

Pattadol: plays Stardew Valley – shes comparatively a normie, but on the meticulous side. she would enjoy perfecting her in-game farm

Otta: plays Genshin Impact. the serious reasoning is because of her (earth) elemental magic and how genshin has an elemental magic system (from my understanding. ive never played it). the joke reasoning is how some genshin players play to collect "waifus", and how otta goes through a lot of women in her dating life

Other:

Leed: runs her own guild in World of Warcraft

Winged Lion: god-games like WorldBox or Simmiland. and Darkest Dungeon (this ones mostly a joke)

Thistle: plays the original Plants VS. Zombies. also plays Minecraft and is very serious about it, but hasn't updated his game in years (translating the fact hes a 1000-year-old kid frozen in time -> playing "slightly old" games popular in the early 2010s)

[ID: tweet reply by twitter user ranchuppi – "thistle calls it lord delgal's server but he is the only mod. whole royal family is locked in spectator mode. Hell. living hell on earth."]

Day 1,889

[hanasnx]

What if ewan posted a picture of starlet reader when she was a kid and a video of her and Hayden swimming together from the 2000s and reader falling asleep on him and ewan trying to get her off him and Hayden saying no it’s fine with him and her just wanting to be helld by him all day and only him .but the media gets the photos and videos and loses it !!!

ok so i love the idea of media clinging onto tangible evidence hayden knew you as a kid. but i desperately need to hone in on and talk about the pool scene..

can you imagine how nervous you were in you heard your dad was inviting hayden over? ofc ewan has a pool at this location, and he's close with hayden. its natural to hang out. being insecure over being close in proximity with hayden again, second guessing everything you do or say. the mortifying ordeal of being perceived by your crush when youre young is a terrifying experience. but as soon as hayden coaxes you out of your own shell— like he often does— having fun is a lot easier. he tires you out, he loves hanging out with kids because he knows whats fun. he's very boyish in the sense he likes the same things kids do. video games, rough housing, skateboards and sports.

he throws you into the pool, teaches you how to step onto his clasped hands so he can launch you into the deep end, and you have those high pressure water guns which you obviously use against each other.

at one point he scoops you up when he falls into the pool, bringing you with. he has to knock water from your throat when you take in too much, patting your back harsh with his big hand, soothing it over and telling you he's sorry for dunking you. that was insanely embarrassing, but somehow worth it because of how nice he was to you after. your skin hot from the sun and your eyes blurry from chlorine.. its no wonder you knock the fuck out. you clung onto him in the pool while he apologized for hurting you earlier, and you fall asleep with your cheek on his shoulder. and he lays out on the long beach chair, checking his phone while you softly snore. when ewan comes back out, offering to take you, hayden says no because you just got to sleep and he doesn't wanna disturb you.

The Mini Indie Showcase Highlights - So Many Highlights

The Mini Indie Showcase just unleashed a stampede of eye-catching indies. And I was foolish enough to try to wrangle a list of my absolute favorites.

With the AAA-dominated PAX West just around the corner, our friends over at Six One Indie decided to throw a little more indie out into the atmosphere. Following up their fabulous Play NYC Spotlight, today’s showcase boasts thirty-three different titles all jammed into an amazing forty-seven minutes. I intended to pick out just a few of the best gems to share, but the bangers kept coming. I…
