god: "So, did you like it?"
me: "Like what?"
god: "Life. It's a survival horror game I.."
me: "Well, THAT makes sense."
god: "So? What did you think?"
me: "Character selection doesn't even work right. The whole thing is pay to win, heavily rigged against casual players, bug reports go unanswered, but overall, I think you nailed it. It's a horror just trying to survive."
god: "I'm the best."
Raise a glass of your new Mario-themed novelty wine this Christmas Day in memory of Archer Maclean, who passed away yesterday.
#ArcherMaclean wrote some amazing 8-bit games, including #Dropzone and #IK+ and pretty much the best simulation of snooker with Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker.

Finished #Blasphemous. Absolutely loved it, and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys #SoulsLike or #Metroidvania games.
Everything clicked for me - the boss fights, the upgrades, the unfolding map, the overall aesthetic. Most of all, I loved the setting, with it heavy catholic inspiration, and all the guilt, ritualism and convoluted mythology that comes with it.
If you play it, listen to the Spanish dub. It really adds to the vibe.
(Loved the Bloodstained cross over as well!)
