E: also I want to read the one that looks to be about Peach getting into sewer basketball, to Mario's dismay.

people are mad about TLoU2 because it's an unnecessary sequel that people were already worried about because of all the press regarding it's theme (which has the finesse of a battle-axe) and the gameplay mechanics that are designed to make you feel bad in a cheap way, and then the leaks came out and confirmed suspicions about the tone and direction

I spent more time at my last job than I had at any institution since elementary school, and at least half of that time was spent desperately trying to leave it. But I did eventually move on to something better, so you can too!

Turns out the combat in Indivisible is actually pretty fun if you find a YouTube video explaining it. They needed way more/better tutorials in-game.

I just looked at a playthrough of Indivisible and it looks like a cool turn-based game. I remember watching some kind of anime trailer and thinking it was going to be a bad platformer or something

Something Sinister is Afoot

When Princess Toadstool tries on a new pair of red hightopped sneakers, the shoes suddenly dash from the room with the Princess still in them. Her highness has been kidnapped by Ludwig von Koopa to star in his basketball ballet. Unless Mario and Luigi rescue the Princess, she will be doomed to a life of dribbles and dunks.

As in all Nintendo Adventure Books, you control the action. Only you can make the choices that allow Mario and Luigi to outplay Ludwig von Koopa and rescue the Princess. Help them crack codes, solve puzzles, conquer mazes, and subdue enemies. You and the Mario Bros. must outwit the Koopas at their own game-or go down in final defeat!

The second most recent Destiny 2 expansion has a lore card in the form of a CYOA that's a lot of fun, it's about getting caught in a fight between two entities that can both manipulate time and causality, presented as a warped version of the social hub area, that may also just be a stream of consciousness braindump from a stressed-out NPC having a breakdown.

You can read it here but it won't make a whole lot of sense without playing through the surrounding storylines (or, frankly, with playing through them)

I was so confused by this tweet at first, but it turns out the Disco Elysium devs are talking about an event on June 6 that is basically E3 for indie developers. So they are going to be announcing a new video game they are working on.

more likely that it's DLC for Disco Elysium, especially as the console ports are still in development. I doubt they'd be ready to announce a new game this soon

anyway, Ubisoft has their own not-E3 event

Given Nintendo's Not Invented Here approach to pretty much everything related to the Internet, it's pretty crazy that they were years ahead of the rest of the industry on that front

I can't get over how UBISoft asked fans to create art assets for the game, and wouldn't pay them for their work or give them credit.
