I’d Rather Be a Mouse Than an Elf — Prismatic Wasteland
I love pretending to be an elf just as much as the next guy, but it pales in comparison to the joys of pretending to be a mouse with a sewing needle sword at my side.

Trying to figure out how to capture the magic of looking up the ugly, obviously garbage weapon you just found in Elden Ring only to discover that it hits harder than the magic greatsword you get for beating the final boss of the whole game.

This morning my car keys weren't in the Car Key Place which meant I had to search the entire house to find out they were, in fact, less than 3 inches away from the Car Key Place

Actual Play: Void 1680 AM Community Broadcasts (with Ken Lowery) — Dice Exploder
To close out this miniseries on actual play, I wanted to feature a game that I think uses actual play as a game mechanic. Hear me out. Void 1680 AM is a solo playlist-building game in which you create...

Gettin' some games packaged up, yeah yeahhh
We need a new furnace, so every game you buy right now goes directly to the keeping us warm in the winter fund.
Plus, you might get a lovingly rendered carnival mallet or one-eyed cat or various onomatopoeia on your package. Win-win!

It's fun to be in the official discord for really popular games so you can hang out in the general chat and watch people get big mad about the most minor things imaginable.

Weird video game opinion I care way too much about:
The children's programming in CONTROL should not have been scary but played 100 percent straight as an earnest attempt to explain a strange environment for a child growing up there. Beat for beat sesame street recreation.
