I guess i should do a “games i finished” thread
Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind
Clunky as hell, some of the worst “guess what I’m thinking” gameplay since old clunky Sierra games, but i loved it nonetheless
Pacing ramps in a thrilling fashion and had no idea where it was going!

alt text is easy and a common good, but getting angry at people doesn't motivate them to participate in optional acts; so every time you put alt text on your images I'll give you a cute little pat on your cute little head

I’m really grateful for all the wonderful friends, old and new, who I’ve been able to connect with on here.
Game Journo pals, game devs, friends I used to know on Twitter, and folks who were kind enough to take a chance on me for their GameCube fan news site, which gave me many opportunities.

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

you know when you look at a game’s piece of key art and are like “this looks awesome!” and you click through and it’s nothing remotely like it
:-(
It feels like i’ve travelled back to being a kid and being tricked by box art, haha

There is way too much robot in this world, don’t forget to remind people you are not robot when you’re trying to make actual connections.
