Public healthcare is not going to survive without public oversight.

There's no reason for it. Just that the public that benefits from it isn't allowed to see what goes on under the hood. We're prevented from looking out for our own interests by people who insist they're entitled to do it for us.

It was policy.

when you pick a line of dialog, no matter how inconsequential, you are engaging with the game, the npcs, and the designers.

and you don’t feel alone playing a game. you feel like it’s made by people. i think that affect is important to analyze and harness, especially in this age of loneliness.

Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of horror, this a top-tier visual novel with a lovable cast of characters + some genuinely clever, fourth wall breaking design. It’s well worth your time

In all seriousness, I think this is excellent enough to stand with the modern heavyweights of the genre. It's *that* good, and the presentation rivals modern day TypeMoon (not FGO), too.

Do not fucking miss out on this.

I am quoted in this, but that is not the reason I'm sharing

Steven is great at eloquently explaining the core issues of games criticism and, rather than muddle in the dark, he is pushing for us to move forward, to be better writers and critics. And it all starts with reading other ppl's works.
A write up on why reading other critics is worthwhile in all instances, with extensive quoting from others works I have read, and publicly sharing the very large games writing resource document I've been slowly accumulating links for these past months (years)

Finally got around to migrating all the DevBlogs from cohost (rip).

Added a new section dedicated to them on the Final Profit website. Lots of juicy insights to digest, such as Mrs. Five's origins as a Nintendo Mii.
