Ohfuck it just occurred to me that we're almost definitely getting at least one new Old Gods of Asgard song next week.

Does anyone else ever think about the fact that there's precisely no reason news programmes HAVE to use those dramatic fanfare-y stings? There are other ways to get attention!
Peart-esque drum solos. Jaunty tunes. A glitched-up Amen Break. Quick saxophone solo. The possibilities are endless.

I think I've raged about this before but I was just reminded of the subject.
Developers: If your game does not have fully customisable button rebinding in 2026 - no matter the input method - your game is not yet feature complete or suitable for release.

The phrase 'I'll die on this hill' is defeatist and lacking spirit.
Show conviction. Stand up for yourself. Kill everybody else on the hill instead. Make the hill bigger. Pose like Doomguy upon a ziggurat of fallen enemies at the crest, with a banner proclaiming your weirdness.
I believe in you.

After giving it another shot after a couple of years and spending a bunch more hours with it, I can confidently say that Steelrising is definitely one of the soulslike games ever made.
I mean it's by no means a bad game. I think I just don't like the lack of either fluidity or commitment in combat.

I'm still trying to figure out why my MIDI controller outputs note data on every pot, every slider tick and every movement of either pitch or mod wheels when using USB MIDI via DIN port.
Unfortunately the USB port is wrecked to the point the port fell into the body so that's not an option.

So I've been playing Darktide again recently and my friend is convinced the next class will very possibly be either a Sister of Battle, an Eldar Ranger or an angry Squat.

The great thing about my creative endeavours is that nobody will ever accuse me of using AI because I'm fairly certain that soulless slop machines kick out finished tracks.
