August 2023 is another packed month in an already packed year…

Baldur's Gate 3 (Aug 3)
Atlas Fallen (Aug 10)
Moving Out (Aug 15)
Madden NFL 24 (Aug 18)
Fort Solis (Aug 22)
Immortals of Aveum (Aug 22)
Armored Core VI (Aug 25)
Sea of Stars (Aug 29)

What will you be playing?

@broximar Unless it's a disaster somehow, Baldur's Gate will likely be carrying me up to the Starfield release. There's also the remaining episodes of the Telltale The Expanse game coming up, too.

The demo eliminated Sea of Stars from my playlist, at least for now. I wasn't impressed by it, especially the combat.

@thevglibrary @bookstodon I quite like this book. The author has strong opinions, and if he doesn't enjoy a game, he's not afraid to tell you why.

I wish I could return to a time when video games didn't feel like chores. Looking at most of the games on my computer, and they are all live-service games which take up too much of my time.

I need to quit starting games that don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end.

Maybe I will take August off from video games which are ongoing services.

@thevglibrary @bookstodon is not a game, it is a poetic existential experience

What's the most philosophical video game that you played? 🎮

My list would include Disco Elysium, SOMA, and the Talos Principle. All truly great experiences.

@FuzzyWuzzy @ninokadic @mnagenborg @philosophy I kinda think Stardew has a super secret philosophical undercurrent, though... There are all kinds of interesting background choices being made (e.g., the game doesn't allow you to cook with meat, makes gift giving and community building a central goal, requires you to have an animal companion in the form of cat or dog, etc.). And of course, the whole Joja Mart v. Pierre's battle is so tied up with capital / consumption...

Hey, this post looks like it is just an ad for an ebay listing, which doesn’t really fit in the gaming community we are trying to build on Beehaw. I am going to remove it here, but if that is not the intention, please repost it with additional context. Thanks!

@thevglibrary @bookstodon insider look huh?

Do they talk about the abuse, mistreatment, crunch of the workers and the contracts they have to sign to enable those conditions in the first place?

@wendymetcalfe @l0ve30 @DarkMatterZine @EclecticLee @negative12dollarbill @thevglibrary @bookstodon Though sometimes you want a good read that's feisty and wrong so you can work through the things its about. You need those dark 'Watchmen' type stories.

@bunny @wendymetcalfe @l0ve30 @EclecticLee @negative12dollarbill @thevglibrary @bookstodon Are you saying “I need to read bad books so I can figure out why they’re bad”? because I’m down with that. I’ve learnt more about writing comparing good books with bad than just reading what I enjoy. (And sometimes I enjoy a trashy read.)

My weekly morning (V1.8.4.1) livestream is starting in about 25 minutes.

Today, I'll be celebrating this game's 6th year anniversary.

Afterwards, I'll feature some art from my Discord server.
