then it comes out, and everyone says "WHY IS IT NOT AS GOOD!?" because y'all basically forced them to make it. let developers make what they want to make. even if what they want to make is concord, for example, then so be it.

thank you for re-wording it non-stupidly for me ;)
i'm sure i read somewhere that bg&e2 is in a similar situation to skull & bones where, due to some shady deals made along the way, that game *has to* come out no matter what at some point lol
backloggd is a very serious website
kid-friendly "robo wants oreos" just dropped
she hidin
so happy 4 u dee :)
this shouldn’t need to be said, but if you *only* respect trans people when they’re perfect, unproblematic angels, then you don’t respect trans people farrrr too many people are way too comfy misgendering trans people that behave like assholes bc “they deserve it.” that’s not how anything works.
feel like i should set up a separate account on here for exceptional Backloggd comments i come across lol
Picked one up! Thanks gang!! Happy anniversary :)
vibe check me, internet pals! ≽^•⩊•^≼

Some people really should not be allowed to use a keyboard To put it *mildly*
REAL !
I haven’t seen my therapist in two weeks.
more like the defarted with leonardo diBRAPrio and shat damon
Man of Tomorrow. In theatres July 9, 2027
one of my favourite things about era is how many people will happily lambaste meticulously researched and produced video essays on rewarding topics to have any kind of context about but will also happily sit through two hours of geoffrey keighley spoonfeeding you commercials clockwork orange style.
eh. kate bush's adaptation of wuthering is still the best one.
this thread is about to be legendary, given era's track record on plugging their ears and going "LALALA" whenever this specifically gets brought up
how so? (love that game)
i really enjoyed dl2 but this graph they put out pre-release was some goofy shit especially since 100%ing it (by the definition they used for themselves here) was still only ~100 hours
someone on era accidentally said the realest shit
WHAT DID I JUST SAY bsky.app/profile/yodo...
cold take: y'all need to chill the fuck out about when/how frequently any future nintendo/sony directs are coming and how robust they're gonna be re: the announcements there's plenty to play in the meantime without crashing out about what is or isn't going to be there. chill out and play something
had to do it to ham...
btw, if you read between the lines here (and in them), the reason the deal fell through is because Microsoft wouldn't part with the IP. another masterfail gambit from them complicit in and contributing to the genocide in gaza and just a shitfuck turbofailure company on top of that way to go bill
3 if you count DestroyerofMid
Just read it - that’s a great review as always from you!! Also, at least you’re not chandler lmao
ultimately, reckon that the most reliable marker of whether a game is truly mid/lacklustre or not is how soon after release you can buy it for 75% off
yeah i wanna do that for my own review site. mainly because 1: people obviously get wayyyy too attached to them 2: too many people (myself included sometimes, admittedly) just scroll past the body text and go straight to the score breakdown. no mf you're gonna read; did levar teach you nothing!?
i agree *i say, while writing for a site that scores games*
okay but this one unironically ;)
ah yes, the gabbo gambit
alright, that's it let's just ban the site lol
sorry gamers, you're no longer allowed to dislike clair obscur even a little or you go to forever jail very illegal
this really highlights one of my (many) pet peeves with era, and the larger gaming public so many people in here cannot fathom how anyone could view a game that's got over a 90 on opencritic and is held in high regard as 'mid' or disappointing "you're just rage baiting" be so for real right now
embrace your flaws and lock tf in
To be fair, I recall some people took that to mean he was saying that it was woke, in his own words. And not what he actually meant, which is that the writing is largely toothless and frictionless (That was also back when SkillUp was banned on Era still because of… his brothers content??).
He means the Blade “retired” joke
they sound like nerds the fuck who doesn’t love a kool keith reference
I love Nintendo fans, man. (context: this is about a September direct leak.)
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
bro lookin like nick cage in longlegs
If this is your ranking, that’s based as fuck. Also fuck yes DP2 as the favourite of the trilogy (purely because of Domino for me lol)
Oh, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t like DP&W either lmao I can at least respect that it didn’t try to hide from what it was or what it set out to do lol
and I’d like to personally make exceptions for both Telltale Poker Night games and that one time in the 90s when the Ninja Turtles teamed up with Power Rangers because that shit was GAS
haha yeah!! *stares at my Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Comics compendium on a shelf from across the room*
psssh clearly you’re just a hater bet you would have loved it if he crossed over with SPIDER HAM instead (jokes aside that would have been 100x more enjoyable guaranteed)
granted, this is all rumour mill stuff, but the fact that we were supposedly robbed of a boots-on-the-ground movie with him going up against Kraven in favour of this? Fuck it and fuck you, Disney.
to echo @hamirapingpong.bsky.social, (sorry if you like it but) Spidey No Way Home is mid at best and creatively bankrupt corpo bad fanfic garbo at worst. even though DP&W did similar things, it at least had the attitude of “yes, this *is* pure fan service slop; so fuck it and fuck you.”
I THINK THIS MOVIE SUCKS
This hits on why both NWH and Free Guy are my “I’m just a hater” flicks lol.
honestly that exodus game (the james ohslon/ex bioware vets-led sci fi rpg that was announced by matthew mcconaughey at tgs a couple years back) is so bizarre i mean the fact that they've since shared an entire codex's-worth of lore for it and not nearly as much gameplay? we've been here before.
sorry to blast you onto the timeline oomf but like there's this weird trend among gamers where they keep saying shit like "kid's games when i was wee were super hard! bring back difficulty!" while ignoring that maybe a game aimed at 4 year olds requiring frame-perfect inputs and marathons is... bad
adult fans of children's media tend to be weirdly joyless overall but man WHY are adult sonic fans so miserable and bitter lmao. it's insane.
ham tidings!
Tales from the Borderlands Wow. Telltale really just sneezed and created the best game in the entire series; that's *wild*. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 10/10 bckl.gg/odLq
AND YOU FIND GEOFFREY AND YOU FIND GEOFFREY AND YOU FIND–
Labuboomer
put this shit in the louvre
I can concede to this :)
Further proof that Kirby is the greatest character ever created.
In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, you can press up on the d-pad to say hi to every Waddle Dee in Waddle Dee Town.
Morning Hammander!
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel This game is two things: • Gay • Australian Surely that qualifies it for series best, no? Sadly no, but it does help explain why it's the most underappreciated. Also Athena. Also you can ground pound. Huh. Maybe this one is the best... ⭐⭐⭐½ | 7.5/10 bckl.gg/ocoC
call me dramatic but when I dip my toe back into the world of lets plays every now and then and i see that your channel has a wizard game video or two, or even playlist, it’s clear you’re a deeply unserious, untrustworthy person. i don’t care to hear what excuses you may have. get in the bin.
was so funny, back when dogfarts legacy released, seeing alll those terfs who had been caping for the game *so hard* on some "preserving the sanctity of gaming" tip, only to realise in real time that it was just generic AAA slop much less funny realising how many so-called "allies" were among them.
“Am I glad he’s frozen in there and we’re out here and that he’s the sheriff and we’re frozen out here and we’re in there and- I JUST REMEMBERED we’re out here”
*genders your ham* Ah yes, much better. :)
It’s especially disappointing seeing independent, journalist-run outlets fall into those same traps as well, particularly regarding Microsoft coverage.
this is such a cute list :) backloggd.com/u/grubmaiden...
Hey they don’t call it [CRAZY TALK] for nothing lol
this is already one of the top reviews for mgs delta on backloggd we are so back, gamers
Not even gonna like this. Delete your account. Shame on you.
Not my fault era looks better in light mode
genuinely baffled
If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.

I could be cynical and say this is just shortsighted marketing and seems at odds with the themes of the source text, and is akin to Squid Game’s marketing where they blah blah blah- But I would absolutely see it like this lol
First thing I turned off on recent playthroughs. Can’t a guy‘s spurs go jingle jangle jingle while i go right merrily along without BOONE ANNIHILATING A CAZADOR WITH A HIGH POWERED RIFLE SHOT +120XP 120% VOLUME FUCK YOU
she could use some help with food and other assorted things. anything and everything helps so much <3
pat, it's so good. you've been lied to by everyone. play it on stream and see for yourself! :)
FOOL. I AM THE CRYSTAL.
as someone who lists skate 3 as one of their all-time favourites, i'm not gonna lie to you and say this is the dream sequel to that game. it just isn't. but what it is, is something that i really appreciate. a chill, satisfying, arcadey skate sim. if loving it makes me a hypocrite, so be it ig.
apparently we can now talk about skate. okay so, I've been playing this for the past two years intermittently. to be real, it's got everything going against it. it's online only. cosmetics are linked to mtx. corporate art style. and yet, i kinda love it? i'm as baffled by that as you are.
changed my bl bio slightly, to be more reflective of who i truly am.
The Hatsune Miku Effect
Our dog is doing physical therapy, and the photos they’re sending us make him look like a Far Side character.
Gamers please DO NOT REPOST TRANSPHOBIA OR ANTI-TRANS RHETORIC JUST TO DUNK ON IT. YOU ARE GIVING IT MORE SPACE THAN IT DESERVES. Some of us are extremely not okay right now. Don't shove that stuff in our faces. We are all trying to cope.
Since Elon bought it Twitter is now the Wolfenstein of social media
Been tempted to lock the “Silksong review codes not going out before launch” one that I put up. There’s no need for it to be 80+ pages now.
