Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date
That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.
Aaah, so it’s a homage to Cronenberg’s 1975 movie Shivers
Hobbes had developed a parasite that was “a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease that will, hopefully, turn the world into one beautiful mindless orgy.”
How kind of it to think about your privacy. Such a nice google. /s
Anyone comment on the general writing style? I didn’t gel with the Divinity games. Loved the gameplay systems but found that the tone of the writing stopped me from getting sucked into the world unlike the original BG games.
Great write up! I thought I was familiar with this game, but clearly not. I guess the name just has that familiar vibe to it. Thinking back to what I was playing in '87 this would have really stood out as something different. I’m sad I missed out on it at the time.
I had my fake account deactivated for using a made up name a few years ago. I was forced to giving it a real fake name instead of a comedy one. Haven’t used it years now so I don’t even know if it’s still working.
Added to my circle!

Quake 1 - though not quite at launch, it was the game that pushed me to get a Voodoo 1 card. Half-Life 2 - due to the delay I ended upgrading my video card twice, ending on an ATI Radeon 9800
This is like the discovery of the Rosetta stone.
According to witnesses, there was a strong smell of gas before the blast.
Might be important. Given the wild nature of events right now, this might not be a terrorist related event.
First video of his I’ve seen. I’m going to dive into more of them, I like his style and use of footage.
Watched this a few days ago. Really fun watch. Actually featured a few games I wasn’t familiar with: Kingon, Xtreme Paintball and Nam. But any video that dives into Trespasser gets an upvote from me.
That’s a find. Any game cartridges with it?
Probably https://umoria.org/ I play it often still. It’s just so easy to dive into and delivers all the fun tension you’d want but doesn’t need you to keep tabs on a story or quests. It’s great to dip in for a short run or go for a long time.
Something I often find with mech (“It’s mech-aaah”) games is the scale of them. They often feel human or tiny. I think this is down to how nimble they can move. They feel much lighter than you’d expect for a 100+ ton metal machine. There’s the obvious of pulling the camera in closer to give them more presence on screen, but I don’t think that’s the necessary solution.
I was going to ask for some recommendations on this vibe. I basically have this https://www.youtube.com/@Meisio channel’s WOW OST playing on loop as I work. I like to mix it up a bit but often don’t find the right vibe for music to work to as it’s too distracting.
Because some of us saps don’t have a phone capable of iOS 16+ which is what Mlem is targeting. Memmy runs great.
The Goblin trader that gets left in the Goblin camp. The way he says “Praise The Absolute” whilst brushing his finger across his nose is so well delivered. Reminds me of a character from a Monty Python sequence.
