Yeah, it's a repost, but please play this at my funeral without explanation or context. It's as good of an understanding of who I am as you're going to get and the people closest to me will understand.

I mean yeah, kinda. But I'm not sure I should.

So I feel like it's kind of worth pointing out: Don't expect duos matchmaking to be a proper duos mode in ARC Raiders. Solo, duo, trio will all prioritize matchmaking with each other, but you could still run into different compositions.
ARC Raiders launched a duo matchmaking system, but it's not a duos mode

Embark Studios explains that while the system will try to prioritize making duos play with duos, and similarly for solo and trio, it's not a guaranteed system.

TBH, Bowser kinda in the right for losing his shit when Mario called his art trash. Clearly he put his heart and soul into that painting. Very good understanding of color theory, physique, and brush work.
All dismissed just because Mario can't appreciate himbo slop.

It is my understanding that today’s Nintendo Direct will begin with a ritual sacrifice of the Pillsbury Dough Boy. He knows what he did and must pay for his sins.

Wowie, Windswept was a treat. I enjoyed the difference between how turtle and duck play and how they work in tandem. Makes for some VERY challenging platforming. It's out now. Check it out! (It's NOT all as hard as this section lol) #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev @weatherfell.bsky.social

The State of Play is over. It's time for Indie-licious! This week we're checking out Windswept by @weatherfell.bsky.social! It promises to be a tough platformer, but it's also got a pretty pixel art style featuring a turtle and duck duo. Come watch! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

Another banger out of Enhance Games. They just don't miss.
Also, looking forward to just melting into another fantastic soundtrack by them.

Gotta hand it to The Protectorate: Single-minded determination incarnate. Take this security technician. Gets his brains blown out, doesn’t flinch even the slightest, stays focused on the job. Silicon Valley would blush to see such self-sacrificing focus. #TheOuterWorlds2

The recent confusion over Kojima’s tastes in fan art is funny because if you played Death Stranding 2 and saw what happened to Higgs, you know there’s very little anyone could come up with that is weirder than what Kojima himself did to Higgs.
