One of the best experiences I’ve ever had playing a video game. What an amazing ride. If you’ve got a console/stream, check this out and go in blind.

First of all, you have wonderful taste in video games and you should be proud of yourself by how much peak you consume. Secondly, I accidentally closed the app and have to rewrite this again, but it shows my dedication to getting this rec to you! contrary to what other people will tell you, do not search this game, do not watch someone play this game, trust me, get it, and experience it. Warning: it is a bit more of an experience than a game, but it is a tuna in a pond.

I have been on a kick of falling asleep to old video game playthroughs (Silent Hill, GTA, etc) and stumbled across myhouse.wad. I have never played Doom, much less a Doom mod, but somehow was drawn in enough to watch this entire hour long play through.
I’m currently reading House of Leaves and was blown away by the parallels (turns out it was heavily inspired by HoL) and the ability of the video game format to make that horror of shifting space into such a palpable reality.
There is a ton of supplementary written material to this that isn’t spoiled by this particular play through and I have yet to experience. This particular video is fun because it’s someone who knows the Doom franchise so intimately they recognize when anything is slightly off: snares added to the Doom II intro song, reflections appearing, a corner of the carpet being lifted up, the appearance of the most difficult enemy in the entire franchise, etc.
If you like: House of Leaves, the backrooms, liminal horror (done well, not just “oh big weird space=spooky”), subversive horror, Doom, 90s video game aesthetics, non-euclidean geometry, subversive horror, or the video of Connor O’Malley with a gun on a lawnmower screaming “I have the power of God!”, I absolutely encourage you to play or watch someone else play this mod.
Genuinely one of the most refreshing and exciting player-created video game experiences I’ve ever witnessed and I do consider this a piece of new media digital art worth experiencing.

Dark souls meets Studio Ghibli meets Zelda.
Soulslike action adventure with isometric 3D top down animation.
Recing again because I just 100%ed another run through and it’s still just the best game. Just one of the best games ever made. The controls are so slick and it feels so good to play. The animation is gorgeous and the story is entertaining without getting in the way of the game play. It’s challenging without being punishing and the QOL is so high and well thought out that it’s never overly frustrating even when repeating hard bits over and over. Clearly made my people who play games and understand what is needed to make them feel good.

took a spontaneous trip to see the new alien movie today
ive never been to see a horror movie alone at the cinema before so it felt all the more immersive for me, would recommend going to get scared alone even if you’re a scaredy-cat like me :)
