Happy 3rd Birthday, PsychOdyssey! The 33-episode documentary about the making of Psychonauts 2 dropped its first episode on this very day in 2023. If you haven't seen it, there's LOTS of good ways to do so!

I bet it was the patreon email - this one went out with "Kinda Feudy Poll" in the subject line and I even filled it out, that was my first one.

Covid also disproportionately affected low income and minority groups, and I'm simply not smart enough to square all of this information. Sure hope we don't gut funding for researchers that can!

you know what DID make wages budge in the US specifically? the deaths of 1.2 million during covid which disproportionately affected folks aged 65+ 😳
I'm mostly over the sticker shock of $70 games. A $60 locked price wasn't a tenable forever dream to hold onto - and I empathize more now with studios being able to keep up production and pay fair wages.
But the real issue comes from the minimum wage and real wages of workers not budging in decades

I can't help but like Mario Tennis Fever, and yet: Walk to mission. Get barren cutscene where barely animating characters talk about something that doesn't matter. Game asks if you want to play tennis. You say yes. Load the tennis. giantbomb.com/reviews/mari...

Mario Tennis Fever has me worried for Nintendo’s sports games on Switch 2. It’s not worse than any of the sports games on Switch 1, but it’s also not any better.

Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.
It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.
Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

Olive did a really great job steering me into a build that showed off how dynamic Lancer is. Chaining attacks and taking advantage of movement juice.

Good comparison to draw. Lancer is more narrative with a flexible action economy, with more emphasis on space fantasy. Battletech is more mech military sim to me.
