Go play Necrophosis. If you enjoyed #scorn, you will like #necrophosis, and vice-versa. Puzzles are straight-forward, but it's the story that'll bend and blow your mind. Let alone the visuals, beings, creatures, gods decaying, and concepts tormented in cycles, rotting.

screenshot from a video game Necrophosis, portrays two masculine looking beings with flesh-and-bone pyramids for head, they're kneeling, hands clasped in offering to a deity before them. A feminine form, hovering above red water, her body torn in patterns, alien head, arms clasped before her. behind them, more water reflecting the scene above. a neon-red circle hovers in the sky, like a sun in eclipse, as its center is void. before it stands a grotesque statue of death. all around theres strange, towering creatures, with skulls for faces, and rising artifacts, up into the red sky, and just as red clouds.

A quotation from Horace

But he that touches me, (hands off! I cry, —
Avaunt, and at your peril come not nigh!)
Shall for his pains be chaunted up and down,
The jest and byeword of a chuckling Town.
 
                                        [At ille,
Qui me conmorit (melius non tangere, clamo),
Fiebit et insignis tota cantabitur urbe.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 1, “Sunt quibus in Satira,” l. 44ff (2.2.44-46) (30 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.
 
[On n’est jamais si ridicule par les qualités que l’on a que par celles que l’on affecte d’avoir.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶134 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

Here's a small pixelart animation I made. I got inspired by scorn and kinda wanted to get a similar atmosphere. I also love it when you actually use some graphic elements a camera animation along...

Birthday with an artbook, Scorn is 2 years old!
Scorn: The Art of the Game dives into the style inspired by H.R. Giger. What's impressive is the game had one concept artist, Filip Acović!

Retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark #Milley said former President #Trump is "a #fascist to the core," according to journalist Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, "War," multiple outlets reported on Friday.

Why it matters: Milley's existing #scorn for the GOP presidential nominee has escalated. "He is now the most dangerous person to this country," he told #Woodward.
"I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline.”

I'm intrigued by the connections between Bacon's work and , or Beksinski and games like Still Wakes the Deep. But I wonder - and I'm challenging myself here too - are we gaining new insights, or just playing a highbrow game of 'spot the reference'? How does noticing these visual similarities actually deepen our understanding of how games process contemporary anxieties? Could we be missing the forest for the aesthetically twisted trees?

Well it's spoopy season sooo

#LittleNightmares2 after finishing the first one a couple days ago, went right into 2.

Thinking #Dredge is next? Certainly fits the theme and I have been meaning to get to it.

#DeadSynchronicity on the #SteamDeck which has been interesting.

Wanna get into #Scorn on the #SeriesX sometime this weekend as well, but we'll see.

I need to test the #SwitchOLED I just repaired so I'll prob hit up Game Stop for whatever I can find that's cheap while still being something I can stand to play for a couple hours. Tho I'm waiting on Joycons/Dock I got a couple days ago still, so that will likely be after the weekend.

Et j'ai l'impression que c'est ainsi pour rallonger la durée de vie du jeu qui est de 3h... Pour 40€, ça fait un peu cher pour une ambiance unique.

Un peu déçu de Scorn pour son gameplay, ça aurait dû rester sur les énigmes qui sont pas mal, en tout cas je me souviendrai longtemps des cinématiques du jeu ou de ce que j'ai dû faire.

Puis, à un moment donné y a une histoire d'arme, munitions et point de vie car il y a des ennemis, ça plombe juste le jeu.

Car les ennemis, sont des sacs à PV ridicule genre y a trois ennemis différents et pour les vaincre il faut 2 à 6 balles selon l'ennemi.

Mais, votre chargeur a en général 6 balles avec un stock de 6, ben tu fais que les éviter, surtout que les armes ont pas un super feeling ni une bonne maniabilité, donc t'as l'impression de perdre du temps à les affronter mais parfois, ils te bloquent la route et c'est juste chiant.

How often have you been:
- #bullied
- #harassed (moral or verbal)
- #deprecated
- #demeaned
- #scorn
By your boss or coworkers (or both), just for the fact that you began (or start) to advance in your academic career?
