But in relation to my article, and their work on CrankBoy...you can watch how they added the crank to the fishing part of the original Link's Awakening fishing section. This kind of thing is why I think Sodium and Stonerl are doing amazing work, because it's so different!
I've been addicted to Bioshock for so many years now. I do a yearly-ish replay of them (Infinite is my fav, which some consider sacrilege) and always hoped for more. They're perfect Steam Deck games.
For now, I think the upcoming Judas will be a more dependable game to look forward to:
A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan.
You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies. Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?
Judas is a narrative FPS developed by Ghost Story Games, a studio led by Ken Levine, Creative Director of System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock Infinite.
That's really kind of you! Don't expect to be inundated, it'll be a weekly thing for whoever is in the fediverse scene, loves gaming, tech and so on, and wishes to contribute articles. I think it's fun, so I'm glad you gave it a nod of approval!
I know its silly of me to care about down votes. This is the internet after all, and having thin skin on the internet is just crazy.
But the idea that you're downvoting me for sharing news just strikes me as...insane. Do you not want me to share news on Lemmy? Do you think I'm the developer? If so did you not read this intro to the piece at all?
Again. Just stupid to care about being down voted, but if you're one of those who have been, I'd love you to just speak up and explain why?
Thanks so much for both reading what I write, and for check in!
I'm okay, for the most part. The good news is that my kidneys have gotten the all-clear and are totally fine. The not-so-good news is that I do have nerve damage. Oh my right hip, and on my left thigh. That means I won't know for another 10 months if I am able to reverse or slow the damage at all.
A hard pill to swallow (so to speak), and pretty devastating all up. But, I was expecting worse!!!
But I'm in a better place, I've cut back on work a ton (lucky to be in the financial position to do so), and am focusing on lots of physical activity. I'm also spending time bringing the cabin I bought to life - which has been really nice. Escaping Paris helped I think.
And, catching up on writing plenty of gaming, too. I've so many to come in the next week or two, not including any dedicated Steam Deck / Gaming News posts. So its really nice to get back to them!
This is the purple shade of the GCN, and its one of the 'hero' size images available to use, on SteamGridDB. I just liked to grab one image in that size to separate each 'section' in this post.
Its easily available, but I suppose by 'in the wild' you mean picking it up in a secondhand store, rather than online marketplaces. If not, have a look at buyee to pick up a bargain.
Interestingly they command a higher price than I expected on eBay.
I just wanted to have actual, official ones shared!
This one is not official, it was done by a girl who goes by shy smith three years or so ago, she just tried her best to make a photo in the 'style' of the old Y2K era, and the days of PS2 ads and...everyone ended up believing it was real. She did such an amazing job of it, this one often gets shared as if it were done for Sony.
And...to be fair, the actual official ones got way worse than those I included:
Oh this was nothing. My 'news' posts take me some time, and effort, which is why they're kinda on pause right now (the 17th is when I see my specialist, get blood results, see what is next etc), so for now it's this kinda thing - smaller!
There's more, but I suppose...back then shock was a tactic, the gaming industry wasn't as clean cut and commercialized as it is now, and they were appealing to a certain demographic?!
Watch the YouTube video I linked in that section! Its quite short, and it really shows how utterly crazy that era of car racing was. The footage is soooo worth a watch!
As a girl who grew up with type 1 diabetes, seeing these tasteless jokes in here just remind me of the shitty time kids can have when they feel different to other kids and get singled out for something they can't control.
So what if its a gigantic mega-corp, they're doing a good thing here for children.
There is a actual dedicated Playdate fishing game, yes:
But in relation to my article, and their work on CrankBoy...you can watch how they added the crank to the fishing part of the original Link's Awakening fishing section. This kind of thing is why I think Sodium and Stonerl are doing amazing work, because it's so different!
