Another fun collab with @mattpurslow.bsky.social about what makes GTA tick: San Andreas and how it kicked Rockstar's cinematic ambitions into high gear.

@itsjessegomez.bsky.socialReposted by @prettyheartache.bsky.socialThe coolest guides editor (and Lauren) I've ever known is now a critics jury member for the Horror Game Awards, very proud 🥲
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialSuper excited about this!
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialMe too! How do I apply to be a houseguest?
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialI’m seeing Christine Baranski and Tilda Swinton in the same week.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialHey, how many do you have in stock? I’d like to order one to London! Happy to pay express shipping.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialInteresting how much information people need to ‘verify’ to believe women.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialI sometimes forget I exist in a queer bubble, and my reference points are very different to people outside of that. When there’s any crossover, I’m like oh, cool, nice, welcome to my brain.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialHere for the PBR.
@itsjessegomez.bsky.socialReposted by @prettyheartache.bsky.socialSilent Hill: Townfall has arrived, and it's got a meaty handful of endings! @prettyheartache.bsky.social and I have teamed up to produce a meaty deep dive into the lore and endings of everyone's favourite new seaside town of St. Amelia 🫡
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialSpoiler: I took ages.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialTownfall is excellent. This isn't some over-the-top survival horror about one person's journey through hell. It's a confronting exploration that some of the bleakest experiences are the very real (and present) struggles that ordinary people face with no real alternative or way out.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialTristan's review hits the nail on the head that Silent Hill: Townfall "tackles previously unexplored shades of evil like corporate greed and environmental mismanagement that help to make it feel like a refreshingly new twist."
@raggafragga.bsky.socialReposted by @prettyheartache.bsky.socialI reviewed Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and I’m happy to say it’s quite an amazing and ambitious tactical experience. Over a hundred hours spent and I still have so much more to see in its wonderfully diverse story paths.
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialThree of them have had incredible opening scenes. We are being spoiled!
@prettyheartache.bsky.socialI started seven games this week. Help.
