Timesplitters 2 was the absolute peak of me playing shooters and still my undisputed multiplayer GOAT. I remember coming back from raves and spending an entire day and/or night playing it with mates as a student. God only knows how many hours I put into it, more than any other game ever for sure. I probably put more hours into the level editor than most games I’ve played since. High camp, perfect multiplayer, and just a crazy amount of content all wrapped up in a single game.
Adding a working thumbnail broke the video link for some reason, but I’ve fixed it now I think.
I feel like this should be the minimum bar for fiction narratives to clear. If the machinations of your plot don’t completely confuse Google’s shitty AI then your plot is boring and entirely too shallow.
Jerry was probably there trying to pick up underage girls and that guy was ruining the vibe.
The video is simply superb as well.
I’ve made the same arguement in the past. They were still excellent when I saw them at a hardcore festival this summer.
Bob Vylan in particular are 
More UK stuff:
Lambrini Girls - new, feminist, gay, anti-Terf, punk
Bad Breeding - maybe the best explicitly leftist UK punk band of the last decade, well worth digging out thr lyrics online for these
I kind of agree. I haven’t played every Persona or anything (I only became a fan with 5) but there’s also something narratively and thematically satisfying about the personas and Velvet Room design tying all the stories together. If they’re going to mix it up though it feels like the time would be Persona 6 since it was being built in a new engine (as was Persona 3 Reload, but that started later and is a remake so unlikely to stray from desings in the original).
Persona’s core mechanics, arcana design, character animations etc too. Sega and other Japaneese developed/published stuff do this a lot and it doesn’t hurt the games when the core of them is solid and they have style.
That would be cool. Like lots of good ideas we’ll probably get the indie space running with one or two really well, but not necessarily the whole kit and kaboodle.
I play a fair bit of American Truck Simulator. Usually to audiobooks or dense podcast series if I’m tired and want something to do while I listen. Various country music if I’m just trying to chill and turn my brain off. I don’t have a fancy rig or anything, I just play with a controller and keyboard combo usually and keep it pretty simple in terms of simulation settings. I just like driving trucks through changing landscapes.
Dust & Diesel is an upcoming Mad Max-like truck driving game where you have to basically do the Fury Road by customising your truck and support vehicles. It’s first person like a truck sim I believe.
Dustland Delivery is a pixel art side on game with more of a strategic approach, but sounds like it has more of the depth and narrative aspects you might like, as you try to use wasteland trucking to make your little encampment a key townshipninbthr post apocalypse.
Nothing wrong with Sea Power comrade 
I was too busy with life and work stuff to play this weekend (unless you count doing crosswords while sitting on hold). But I’m two hours into starting Persona 3 Reload right now instead of going to bed. I’ve played 5 but none of the others.
I bounced off that game so hard the first time I played it. Terrible inventory system, terrible onboarding, not my kind of fictional world (medieval fantasy). It took my partner sitting me down weeks later and saying we were gonna play the first six hours or so together one weekend for me to fall for it. But I did. Hard.
I have a longstanding love-hate-meh-love relationship with the Sims 4 so I kinda feel you.
I’ve not really played TTRPGs before but I GM’d my first ever game of Blades In The Dark last week. Shooting cops, freeing AI, and ending Goblin apartheid sounds rad. I didn’t force it at all, but the people I play with really wanted to to fuck over a violent gang of soul-deadened butchers who are now trying to strike break on behalf of the bosses, and decided the best way to do that was to break into the pens where they keep the animals for their animal fighting pits and free them all.
You’re too good at this.
It really was so good. A genuinely wildly cool and intuitive thing to have on a console game.
