unlabelledView post →my latest video is about video game to film/TV adaptations and why that industry doesn't just... use the people who wrote the games in the first place (inspired by Iron Lung + the fact that Larian isn't AT ALL involved in the Baldur's Gate 3 adaptation) youtu.be/nrFGhbkqJy4?...

The port was done by @ducky-dev.bsky.social and I, so we can confirm that it plays well and runs well. With a pair of headphones, it's actually a decent way to play the game!

unlabelledView post →I see Melania is doing better than expected, surging to 6% on Rotten Tomatoes and nosing ahead of Iron Lung, a movie apparently based on a game about sealing a dude in a metal pod in an ocean of goopy blood that leaks in through the seams. Maybe a double feature?

Didn't know what to expect other than i've heard many people praise it. Pretty impressed, ngl. Cinamatography, sound design, music, all phenomenal. Tension: artfully orchestrated

It's a "plate spinning" simulator with multi-step input, playable in about 20 minutes. It feels like the progenitor to a modern indie game: Iron Lung 30 years before Iron Lung.
