Sometimes I get a bit frustrated with this game. I’m moving things over to a train network and I’m currently having an issue with not producing maintenance because I’m short on rubber, but then I go to my rubber factory and the output station is full of rubber. So I check the network’s trains and there’s 4 of them that could take the load but are sitting there with a status of “waiting for job”. I guess the thing to do for important stuff is to just set up a line with a train that goes back and fort of “wait until full” and “wait until empty”?
Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed. I did the mission where you assassinate William of Montferrat. Gotta say, most of the assassinations in this game have been mediocre, but somehow this one nudged it’s way in as one of my favorites of recent memory. It felt like a very solid Assassination Mission. Sneak into the fortress, find the target, get out. My one wish was it was easier to pull of air assassinations. Apparently it is possible, but it’s difficult to pull off from everything i hear.
Today is some more of The Attack of The B-Team Server we have going. I got another friend on. That makes 6 so far with another on the way (i stopped and properly counted). What was the first thing me and this friend did? We dug a tunnel. We’re going to fill it with water. But we spent a grand total of nearly 3 hours just digging this out. We still have to clean it up but so far i think our work is something to be proud of, at least in terms of big tunnels in minecraft.
I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
The obvious answer is to deter regional hopping, but there is price “discrimination” for the same product: like $69.99 (US) vs. ~$42.99 (China) for a game. Steam blocks sending games internationally to other players if it exceeds 10% via foreign exchange. Most or all digital game storefronts have an assigned country that supports local currency despite selling the same product. Steam DB exists to compare currencies for a digital game and the differences between there and where you live.
Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed. 4 More days until 2 years! (assuming i did my math right). It’s weird thinking about. I remember the day i put the post up i was up playing Halo 3 with some friends. It’s just weird thinking about how much time has been between now and then.
“I prefer the industry when you have two really strong competitors. You get better games, you get more games, and you get an industry riding a positive wave.”
Today’s game is some more Minecraft (Attack of the B-Team). I’ve made a ton of progress in it and decided to dedicate today just to showing of me and my friends progress. Like if you look in the above screenshot you’ll see my base. I feel the inspiration is obvious (Old console edition tutorial world). Mine is far from the most interesting though.
The TRIMUI Brick Pro is one of the most interesting retro handhelds to come out lately. Typically these companies beef up the processors and specs for a ‘sequel’, but TRIMUI kept the same insides and just built a bigger body with thumbsticks.
A Brazilian gamer who lost his Microsoft account and all his digital games has won a court order forcing the company to hand it all back, after support staff told him to simply repurchase his library. The user, who posts as Ordo_Liberal on Reddit, shared a screenshot of a small-claims ruling in the Xbox subreddit that gives Microsoft 15 days to restore access or face fines and roughly $400 (R$2,000) in damages. He said the account had two-factor authentication enabled when it was flagged and permanently suspended, and that none of Microsoft’s recovery options allowed him to regain access before he filed his lawsuit.
Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed. I mainly made my way through the Jerusalem assassination. it was here i really started to feel the slowness of this game’s parkour. With the other games (not-RPG ones) Parkour feels snappy and like constant lunges. Here it kind of feels like Altair is afraid to grab a ledge and i feeling it out first. Realistic? Yeah. But also it does slow things down a little.
Today’s game is Minecraft, specifically Attack of The B-Team. I had setup a server for me and my friends, and it had gone unused since April. We finally remembered it existed though and all got on it. What initially was expected to be a server of 3-4 people has become one of nearly 12. It’s fun having something large. Plus it’s all self hosted, so no need to worry about the server turning off or anything.
Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed. I’ve been playing through it, and it’s an interesting experience compared to the newer games. I assume the Ezio trilogy brought it closer too what i know, but the differences I’m noticing are interesting.
Hey, it’s been a while! 007 First Light released in late May 2026 and, as a huge James Bond fan, I knew immediately I needed to write a review of this game.
The layoffs at one of your studios most able to ship games is a bonkers, stupid decision; but pivoting Obsidian to making a new Fallout game is a good business decision if you don’t care about what your creatives feel led to create.
Apparently some lawsuits have started on Sony’s potential price-fixing of all games on their platform since they’re now the only retailer. Before anyone gets excited, these are probably going nowhere, but it’s neat that something is happening. The idea seems similar to the Epic vs Apple/Google lawsuits.
A few weeks ago I wrote about taking a chance on a cheap "junk" PSP-2000 from Japan, replacing its faulty charging port, and ending up with one of the nicest handhelds I own.. One of many PSP’s I’ve bought though.
I know that for example, if you play games in Russian: they often have to abbreviate the text for compensating space on fitting within the UI (like сохр. instead of Сохранить for “save") as Russian words are longer than the English counterparts while that’s not really an issue with let’s say Japanese since they have Kanji ("Save” can be conveyed as セーブ or 保存). Mandarin uses characters which means words can fit within a short UI button for instance while the same text is longer in most languages (have to shrink font size).
Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed. The first one Specifically. I have played and enjoyed most of the Assassin’s Creed games. Specifically: 3, Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Valhalla, and Shadows. With Black Flag Resynced on the horizon, I would be lying if i said i wasn’t hyped about it having grown up with the franchise the way i have. I’m hoping to wait until launch to hear about it to even consider it (or even better acquire it through other means), as i’d love to give it a try and form my own opinion on it, regardless of my own personal bias.
Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.
Today’s game is Jedi Survivor. And probably the last time it will be featured. If not then the second to last. I spent yesterday kind of giving my general thoughts. So I’ll just sum up my opinions on the game. The pictures will serve more as an appealing aesthetic to go with it. I don’t want this to be taken as a review, though ultimately I suppose that’s what this will serve as.
After careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management.
Today’s game is some more Jedi Survivor. I buckled in for the story today and just plowed through the entire thing. I want to avoid story spoilers as, even if it is a 3 year old game I don’t want to spoil anything. Which in retrospect sucks because I’ve gotten some screenshots I’m really proud of.
I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.
As far as publishers are concerned, the single greatest cancer they face is the resale market. When a store sells a new game for £60, the publisher makes about £20, and the store gets between £15-20, depending on how they choose to price it. The rest is the cost of manufacturing and shipping. (These are rounded estimates, it varies)
Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) is a an annual video game speedrunning charity marathon that raises money for Médecins Sans Frontiers (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders in English. MSF is a truly lifesaving organization that strives to do exactly what it sounds like: put life saving care where it’s needed most, regardless of political or geographical borders. They are a global organization that responds to tragedies and emergencies all over the world without prejudice. SGDQ has raised millions of dollars every year and you can help!
Speaking at the “Il Cinema in Piazza” Film Festival in Italy (translated by Genki), the Death Stranding and Metal Gear director said that at least with digital games, users have the data on their systems, something that isn’t the case with cloud gaming.
So my latest article is something that’s been on my mind for a while: the people still making physical games feel genuinely special, the lack of physical games going forward (looking at you, Sony), and what everyone lost with the old-old ‘big-box’ PC gaming era.
Today’s game is some more Animal Crossing New Horizons. After last night I got some much needed rest. Afterwards I decided to check in on my island. I haven’t been on in a bit, and I needed to keep an eye on my pets anyways today. So I kicked back and opened up my island I never visit.
This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.
This is just a vent post / unpopular opinion (? unsure if unpopular). Specifically on Steam. Linux native builds are so buggy and glitchy and never work right. Always some combination of:
“I never made much progress on this idea” - It’s looking increasingly likely that the future of console gaming is going to be digital-only, as Sony has just …
I think the severity of this issue will be determined by its frequency, but the comparison to the red ring of death is just another piece of poor publicity this thing has been receiving since its price and performance reveals.
For example: there’s a mistranslation from the scene from CoD that Makarov mentions: “Remember - no Russian” but instead was rewritten as「殺せ、ロシア人だ」(they basically rewrote the entire line as “Kill ‘em, those Ruskis” which defeats the impact from the original, like WTF does that have to do with anything. The 日本語 “translation” is shit).
Today’s game is RuneScape. I would like to make a confession with this game, and that is that I have no clue what I’m doing in it. I’ve done maybe 3 quests. I really just like walking around and listening to the music while exploring and taking in the sights. I’m basically using RuneScape as a tourist simulator.
I searched the web, but it seems I’m the only one who sees it like this. I love “The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition” and have played it for many hours. The art style looks grittier, and more tangible than “The Outer Worlds 2”.
