indiegala recently started sending me emails again for some reason, in case anyone needs a place to buy a dozen porn games for a dollar

@irisjaycomics Look, you and I know that magic is about a certain showmanship and joie de vivre that CEOs usually work to eliminate.

if I worked for gearbox, you better believe I would take every precaution to ensure the ceo never found out that we shared an interest

@irisjaycomics It was super cute that Emily got to go and explore some weird shit of her own! And she's so happy to see you!

Like, even after you two have your tense moment about "I'm gonna go into the nail and beat up whatever's going on", she's still worried about you and gives you the usual "take notes!"

When I found that first ID card and Jesse says "I should show Emily", I went back to Central Executive first, then found out she was in the Crossroads. She came to visit and make sure Jesse's okay!

@irisjaycomics is this a known thing about randy pitchford

all I know about him is that he's an asshole

@irisjaycomics Ah, it's Like That, huh.

This whole Alan Wake/Control expanded universe nonsense better be worth it.

@irisjaycomics A flight, if you will. You get a number of little glasses of "Jesse ashamed of her bathroom joke", "evil geometry", "Emily", "one sequence that gets you Going", and "this building never stops being mysterious, huh"

@irisjaycomics does this mean that he's left his annoying new atheist phase, or that he's just taken it in new and exciting directions in the future

@irisjaycomics I never, like, played the Alan Wake games or anything, but I just can't say no to more of that good, good Control juice, you know?

@irisjaycomics Right?? Like, it felt like you actually got to fight Marshall. You both had your armies, and you're both magic and stuff, but she's still using, like, gun and an axe. It makes the fight feel a lot more real and fair. Weird how they only had the one fight that made the crystal powers feel, like, cool and useful instead of A Thing You Interact With.

"Welp, we got trapped here in Data Entry, nobody's coming to get us, both because we work in this secretive living hell-office, and also like three people know this place exists."

The movie camera was definitely a glimmer of that classic Control goodness- right down to the obnoxious flying shield guy boss.

I will say it didn't... I guess, dazzle me in the same way that the base game did, but, honestly, how could you possibly outdo yourself

@triz tell it like it is, triz

- All in all, I'm a sucker for more Control lore
- Not a huuuge fan of the reliance on audio logs, but I Get It
- The Marshall fight was one of my favorite boss fights in the game- it felt fair in a way that, say, the Tommasi fight didn't. And by that, I mean she doesn't start flying, generating an invincible shield, and throwing shit at you
- I really like that we find out more about Former and its place in the weird astral politics alongside the Board
- The Altered Item sidequests still rule
- I still gotta go back and investigate a few secrets, but all in all: pretty good

requirements to be the Director of the Federal Board of Control:
- a triangle and their gun have to like you
- must know how to put cubes into cube receptacles

@Balina If I had some handy, you know I would.

I have one of those old iMacs with the translucent case at a parent's house, and you know I'm gonna try running msync on that.

@hierarchon hey, it worked for me and the OCM mug

@hierarchon the number one thing that is honestly helping me do the same is "having a cool mug"

I have no idea if distributing plain ol' linux binaries is helpful for anyone, but here we are

providing 32-bit linux builds of msync out of... mostly spite, I guess

@millenomi The only one I'm a little worried about, given that I'm in the business of distributing bare compiled C++ binaries, is the last one. So this honestly helped with a chunk of this "should I ship osx binaries" uncertainty. Thank you!

@Balina @fluxom_alt @Draekos whoa-oh black betty
