I've seen a lot of fanart of Astarion dressed like this. This is from the BAFTA Games Awards 2024 event where Neil Newbon, his interpreter, wore this costume. 🖤

Vampire Survivors Game Of The Year? Bollocks

So apparently a game which resembles the 1981 arcade game Robotron 2084 except with worse graphics is the best game of the last twelve months according to BAFTA:

Better than whatever the latest God Of War thingy is or whatever Heavy Metal fan fantasy life simulator is doing the rounds?

Better than Stray?

Nope, fact is Vampire Survivors is yet another tired Robotron 2084 clone, and FORTY TWO YEARS LATER it is beyond lame.

Bumnuggets like PC Gamer have been responsible for much of this bullshit for some time, plugging 8 bit shit in a 64 bit age and praising it to the skies like it's the Second Coming 'just because old skool is better maaaaaaaaan.' rather than it being middle ages hacks trying to relive their 'yoof', or pretentious basement dwellers doing the gamers' equivalent of people who buy only music on indie labels as some sort of avant-garde statement.

You know, the sort that used to drone on about The Smiths until Morrissey turned into Alf Garnett in middle age.

No, a game doesn't have to be all singing all dancing flashy graphics if done right - evidence for the prosecution is the beautifully eerie Limbo.

But praising retro for retro's sake is fooling no one but yourselves.

Matthew Mercer retweeted my video of the zoom call crash and I logged back into twitter to see 1.1k likes on his retweet and counting (now much higher). Did I have a heart attack? Yes.
