Oddly enough, La Quimera, the game from Reburn (ex 4A Games staff) is delayed the same day it was supposed to be released. The initial reviews (and there are not many of them) called it a relic, like a bad game from 2008.

It brings nothing new to the table, nothing exciting in the gameplay, narrative, or visuals. And the overall quality is just bad — visual bugs, stiff controls, and so on. They messed up even with the most basic things — to open a menu the player has to use P-key on the keyboard and ESC does nothing.

And it loads up Ryzen 9 7950X3D to 100% all the time, all cores, regardless of the actual scene. And the performance is still not quite there — frame pacing can go nuts or the whole game gets locked at 30 FPS after 10 minutes of gameplay.

This explains my guesses: a team of nice people and a dog! And 33 people made the highest rated game of 2025.

I've been there, 3000 years ago!

Moby updated his free music website Mobygratis with source files to make even better music out of 500+ songs he shared with the public.

There are only 2 things you can't do with the music here; use it to advertise right wing politics or causes, or use it to promote meat, dairy, or other animal products.

⚠️ But in reality it only gives you limited non-commercial license. It can be extended to become commercial, if the major revenue share will be given back to Moby. And only upon request and approval. But both licenses can be revoked anytime for no reason.

A huge off-topic but whoa: Journey to the Beginning of Time (Cesta Do Pravěku), filmed in 1955 looks oddly impressive!

Kind reminder: 5-10% of the population are color blind and you can't rely on your own color perception to make a suitable color palette and UI for a wide audience!

Do you see all shapes and numbers?

Exactly: can developers stop trying to explain every detail and every bit of the story? Who's asking? Leave a room for interpretation, for thinking and doubting!

Wise move!

How is this a bad thing? A hard difficulty is hard is a disadvantage? Journalism is dead...
