Watched 'the regime', a lot of it while browsing the phone.
It's so bad for an HBO production that I'm pretty sure it's 3 letter agency sponsored media.

Aside from Helldivers which is a lot of fun when it doesn't crash, I've been playing a lil bit of Stephens Sausage Roll the game is praised all over the place because of its puzzle design but it just makes me feel dumb, just barely solving some of it each time.

Currently playing the newly updated demo of LOK Digital, a digital adaptation of my own puzzle book LOK, which I'm developing with the Spanish programmer Raindrinker, and which will be published, as it was revealed just today, by Draknek & Friends, the publisher of A Monster's Expedition, Bonfire Peaks, Patrick's Parabox, Sokobond...
(Kindly invited to take a look: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2207440/LOK_Digital/ )
I also made the trailer:
Looks good!
Although i can't tell from the video what the mechanic is

Halfway through Prey. It has its moments, but at the same time, some of the RPG-parts of it partly ruins the whole experience.
-Pick up shotgun? Not enough space. What if I drop a wrench, or eat some apples? Ah. Yes now I can pick it up. (so f´ing stupid)
-Need more ammo? Pick up lemon peels and baseball glowes or harvest flowers. Recycle. (aargh!)
-Constant hunt for mails messages, passwords and codes to proceed. A shitload of information, things to do, audio transmissions and whatever. I constantly forget what the mission are about, and I have no idea what neuromod upgrades, weapon upgrades or other upgrades i should go for.
There is just too much stuff going on.
Felt the same way, I abandoned the game very early on, after the (awesome) intro you're immediately presented with endless checklists of stuff to do with no clear purpose. I have enough backlog to clear irl damnit i dont want a second job. I left it to pick it up later but haven't since.

So, caved in and got Helldivers 2 so far its kinda meh, certainly well made, looks and plays good but i don't see much to it. maybe it gets more fun once you level up and git gud
Game is indeed a lot more fun on the harder difficulties, thing gets really crazy sometimes. Even if it is kinda samey.

Anyone playing helldivers 2? I see a lot written about it so im tempted but when i see gameplay i just see a third person shooter.
Also, balatro, is it worth getting hooked to it?

Finished season 1 of Slow Horses with watching four episodes in a row. Brilliant stuff. The clever part is how the subject matter is quite serious, (a right-wing group plan to behead a Pakistani kid) yet it also has a wicked sense of humour running through it and at times made me laugh out loud. Top stuff. But I'm wishing I had more seasons to watch as I know the next two are gonna fly by. Fourth season drops in November.
Dont worry, by the time you finish the third you wont crave the fourth as much

I saw the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith show.
Interesting take but could've been a movie.

I liked those books.
They do what they do very well. Its like the authors are winking at us saying "OK we know its corny that historic events keep hinging on the actions of these same five characters but keeping the same characters going is what makes this whole 'book' thing interesting so just go with it ok?"
Plus points of the Expanse books:- actually quite realistic depiction of what a colonised solar system might be like. e.g. people spending a fuck of a lot of time speedng up and slowing down on spaceships, a lot of time living in tunnels.
- actually quite well thought through depiction of what politics would be like in that situation. Also what space combat would be like.
- into that fairly realistic setup they throw a completely mental alien artifact which (as I read someone say somewhere) is actually one of the best sci-fi antagonists ever
- I thought Holden was well written - heroic without being too badass
- Good balance between each book being a book in itself while also moving the series along. You can see that they planned the whole thing out well in advance and it really pays off.
- Same level of quality pretty much all the way through the series.
Minus points:
- For the expanse universe to work, you have to pretend that people would like the endless boring life-or-death maintenance that would be needed to keep the ships and habitats working. Several characters find out to their surprise that that endless maintenance is their life's calling and get really into it.
So I just finished the whole main series and yes, the setting is believable, the characters are charming the story is engaging but boy is the latter half of the story a drag, did not enjoy as much. Feels like the authors wanted to up put on big boy writer pants and made everything bleak. It'd be better off if it continued being a fun light space adventure. I wanted to dig in more into the short stories but im burned out for now.

Still working through the witness. Didn't give up or look stuff up this time. Thought I was nearly done, turns out there's more. Haven't found enlightenment yet.
Also this game just came out that i was keeping an eye on, might check it out:

If you are into this you may want to look into FPGA stuff, they basically accurately reproduce the original hardware with magical (to me) programmable CPUs. There's Analogue who have done Nintendo stuff, and the even cooler open source MISTer project than can do multiple consoles at the same time and even old systems like the commodore 64 and stuff.
-
So YouTube put me in a Jonathan Blow rabbit hole so I'm giving The Witness another shot, maybe I'll reach enlightenment.
Also looking forward to the braid anniversary edition.

Looking to play a Nier game since they're cheap now, which would you people recommend?
Automata for sure, it's really great.

Been reading the expanse series books, currently in the fifth which i believe is where the show left off. They're kinda mid but want to know where it goes.

So I've been slowly, carefully replaying Alan Wake 2, with the new new game + (the final draft) mode, it was a perfect excuse go over again and 100% it. Turns out the ng+ mode is glitched and it is impossible to get everything in some scenarios, so ill probably quit until i hear of a patch thay fixes this. Not gonna go over a third time.
Word of warning if this was your plan too, if you wanna 100% dont use a final draft playthrough.

I used to get a lot of music from pitchforks reviews and lists, a lot of very good music, later on they sold out imo and could never trust them again. It was an era for me tho, sad to see them go even if I've haven't visited in a decade.

carrion.
tables turned. giant alien beast puzzler, moving around building and tunnels. relies upon eating people to grow and regain health. quite effective, a little hard to control at times, not always clearly understandable, but nicely produced on the whole.
I was playing this then got lost, took a break and didn't come back to it. Id have to start over now. Its cool.

Theres DLC?
I liked the "vibe" and the puzzle mechanics, although it wasn't too hard - I found that i could brute force most of the ones i got stuck, some I even solved without knowing exactly why it worked.

Played and beat Inscryption. It's... an experience. I think the first act was my favorite, kinda dragged on by the end but pretty cool overall.
New game+ update supposedly live on Alan wake 2. That's probably next
