So, let me get this straight. Blizzard's plan for regaining audience goodwill with the 1.0 release of Overwatch 2 is to open with a heavily promoted PvE mission pack (i.e., thereby reminding everyone of the vapourware PvE campaign they built Overwatch 2's entire marketing strategy around, then quietly axed once they had everybody's money), and the premise of this PvE mission pack is basically doubling down on the broadly disliked "our heroes put down a slave rebellion" PvE storyline from the first game? Have I got all that right?

I got hit with a pretty big E.R bill for my daughter (thanks healthcare) and my computer after only a year, is already on the fritz. All of this before the holidays and, surprise surprise, my husband is going to be laid off for a bit right after Christmas. Most of you have already bought my game and stories but reblogs would be wonderful.

Welcome to the Night Market. Book 1 in a series. The Night Market is an interactive fiction novel in which you awaken to a lantern filled world with no memory of how you got there. Desperate to get home, you must find the gate that leads back to your world, while navigating a foreign land, rife with political intrigue, arbitrary rules and secrets designed to keep you distracted. Nine barons rule the market , a place so vast that not even they can truly know its scope. But, one baron holds the key to your safe return home. Yet, no one has seen or heard from them in over a decade.

YA novels these days are always named some cool sounding shit like "queen of blood and bone" or "the dragon assassin" but then contain neither goth necromancer royalty nor dragons, just the same cut and paste characters and tropes in different situations. it's like clickbait for books.

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

Techbro marketing's conflation of generative language models with the term "artifical intelligence" to the point that many laypersons now think that's what AI is definitely sucks for, like, literally everybody who's working in genuine AI research, but I have to grant the way it's gotten tangled up with other historically inappropriate uses of the term "artificial intelligence" is a little bit funny. I've seen multiple unconnected discussions involving people seizing on the "AI is inherently unethical" talking point and getting heated about bad guys in single-player video games having "AI", and, like, I'd be fascinated to know what the alternative is. I'm trying to imagine a world where it's feasible for every individual goomba in Super Mario Bros. to be directed by a human operator, and I'm not sure I can, but it's definitely a place I'd like to visit.

i really hope dead cells fans do not buy the 'windblown' game by motion twin just because it's "by the creators of dead cells", since motion twin actually cancelled evil empire's* plans for future dead cells content which was planned for at least until 2025 including at least one dlc.

(*evil empire have been developing dead cells since 2019/patch 1.3 of dead cells, for those unaware)

in this announcement post MT claims that they decided the game is finished as it is or whatever and don't want any more updates as to not make the game 'bloated', which sounds pretty reasonable until you remember that all the updates from evil empire are unique and distinct & that motion twin doesn't even make the game anymore as of 2019. so personally i think this 'reasoning' is just random shit they made up to not sound as evil as they are.

not to mention that the whole "by the creators of dead cells" thing they put in their marketing is VERY misleading. obviously motion twin initially created dead cells, yes, but by now there are only about ~3 ppl at motion twin who worked on dead cells. there are ~50 names in the credits of dead cells.

of course i can't stop anyone from buying whatever they want, but i urge people to at least read this blog post by a former dead cells dev. i feel like it's important context a fan might want to know before potentially buying motion twin's new game.

The Night Market is just over 1 million words and has four distinct romances throughout your play through.

Full release now available for purchase on both Steam and Itch.io.

***A note for all mac users, I would suggest buying on itch.io. Steam can no longer test mac builds and I do not have a mac computer so I am unsure of the state of that build.
