Reviewed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game I liked a lot more than Age of Calamity, and not just because it looks and plays a lot better thanks to the Switch 2.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.

Lumines Arise is my first Lumines game so I'm still pretty terrible at it but man, if it isn't a treat to play. It's become my nightly ritual.

Lumines Arise is the kind of game that I won’t delete from my hard drive because I will always want the option to lose myself to the game periodically, which Arise is consistently excellent at.

I revealed this during the GI Show this week and @itsvanaken.games and I had a hard time explaining Yung Gravy’s vibe to @marcusstewart7.bsky.social, who had never heard of him. The closest Alex got is “he’s a rapper who likes older women”

I’ve been able to confirm that these cuts impact people of a wide range of experience and seniority levels. Spoke with one person who has been there for well over a decade who was cut today. This is awful.

An underrated but powerful tactic the left can use against the right in red counties is roundabouts.
The bigger the truck, the more the driver’s brain stops working when faced with a roundabout (and as someone who used to be a local reporter, they fight hard against new ones being made)
