I hope you will forgive my ignorance, but in a hypothetical situation in which the FBI is forced to turn over all "Epstein files"... what mechanism is in place to ensure that they actually turn over all files they've ever had vs. a curated list or none at all?

the funny thing about FF discourse is that no one includes FF12 in anything
The "golden age" is like 4-10
The "bad modern era" is 13-16
no one knows what 12 is. liminal video game

Son has been very sick, so i have not been able to do my normal social posts/videos for our reviews. Might continue until he's better.
Sorry for the slow week!

Really wish I could focus on games criticim as like a full-time thing. So hard to really dive deep into games while working full time AND being a stay at home dad during the day.
I want to read more, learn more, play more...do more.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!
Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 to is OUT NOW!
GO GO GO!

Malys is a good game rendered nearly unplayable through a combination of persistent bugs and a poor UI.

I've had this chat with PR people and they know that supporting smaller sites and freelancers makes sense and would help build a healthier games media.
The problem is game publishers pretty much exclusively want GI cover stories or an IGN First and anything smaller isn't worth it.

I don't understand this mentality as long as the person/website has reputable people. How does it hurt you to provide a code? With how hard it is to get publicity for games of all sizes even "small" coverage seems like it would only help?

Seems September was just a particularly bad month for traffic at JPG.
August was good, but Sept saw a 30% decrease which was really worrying. October numbers are 50% above that, with early Nov. already looking good, too.
Idk, I probably should not worry about that stuff.
