I hope no games fill the void left by GTA 6 so I can simply play old games for 5 months without a shred of FOMO.

Amen to this. It's also a reminder on a much wider level that the more you try to appease political radicals, the more and more and more they take from you.

Wild that the narrative around Predator: Badlands became about it being 12a-rated. You'd think it was a good franchise, from the way people bang on about it.

Never eludes me how fortunate we are to have an audience that supports us making this kind of thing.
New episode! Two Giant Men Play Super Mario Galaxy. About 40 minutes of background on the game, then 1 hour 20 of *takes*.

When I ask my dad, 'what do you want for Christmas?', the answer is always one of two things:
- Historical fiction (Sharpe-adjacent where Napoleon is involved somehow, usually out-of-print)
- Some arrows (fired from a bow)

Think a lot of deck builder sicko mutuals will like this game.
Tips and tricks for besting the demons on the battle line.
Even though you can't control the cards in your hands, you can control where you place your pieces. My strategy: clear the demon's creatures and prepare to dominate the next round.
This is how you keep a demon on his toes.
