Video games. Movies. Tennis & more video games.
Oof couldn’t agree less. I think something can be game of the year and not be the best RPG of that year. Extremely reductive. We’ve had this debate with films. Is best picture at the Oscars not also the best written or directed? No it is not.
I think these awards felt especially boring because categories like Best RPG and Best Indie each honor overall quality among a subset rather than a specific craft. If a game is the best of the year, and it’s an RPG, obviously it is also the best RPG. Needs an overhaul to avoid pointless repetition

Hey, so, I don’t know how to break it to you. Your brother is a Nazi.
my brother has a SS tattoo on his body.

you read that right. a literal SS.

he was a 'S'cout 'S'niper. Marines often used the flag, yes the flag youre probably thinking of, as their own symbol in group pics.

as he told me many times "we take our enemy's symbols. just be glad you dont understand."

The serving situation was out of hand for a top player. Would have (imo) won a bunch more matches this year if it had been good.
Coco Gauff has split with coach Matt Daly.

She's hired biomechanics expert, Gavin MacMillan, who helped fix the issues in Aryna Sabalenka's serve a few years ago.

Some big changes with the U.S. Open right around the corner.

Bungie might be one of the most mismanaged gaming companies over the past 5 years or so. Making Marathon instead of Destiny 3 was already a huge error which is increasingly looking like a fatal one. Marathon is DOA and Sony will just absorb the whole studio when it flops.
The morals at Bungie seem to be in “free-fall” and “the vibes have never been worse”. They are worried about what will happen to Bungie if 'Marathon' flops. It might get delayed after this week's plagiarism scandal.

Solved 3 safe puzzles IN ONE RUN in Blue Prince and felt like a god damn genius. Also, play this game it’s great. Not a huge puzzle fan but the roguelike shit hooked me.

Very bleak to sit back every time a major game launches and think about how there is an entire online media cottage industry devoted to making dumb young men emotionally and ideologically invested in a game being a financial disaster because there's a black guy or a woman in the box art

Incredible strength and courage from Zelenskyy. Standing up to a room full of bullies in an orchestrated, stage-managed ambush. Never backing down. Never letting the lies take root. Absolute hero for the ages.

Love Iga but Ostapenko is so fucking funny. Imagine saying, in a match between Swiatek and Ostapenko, that Ostapenko was the one that kept her cool.

Metaphor Re:Fantazio had me jumping off cliffs & battling in a coliseum for the courage to speak to Brigitta. Now Persona 3: Reload has me studying all the time and eating ramen that makes me smarter so I’ll be interesting to Mitsuru 😍

It was always thought that the first openly gay active male tennis player would make a huge announcement. Joao Lucas Reis da Silva didn't see it that way.

This is his first interview since becoming an unwitting trailblazer - with Matt Futterman and me ⬇️

Joao Lucas Reis da Silva, the first out gay active professional male tennis player, was just posting a selfie
The 24-year-old Brazilian wants to be remembered for his tennis as much as advocacy.

Didn’t expect to see so many comments regarding the brand placement. I am usually cynical but I also think it’s homage/can serve a purpose to the story. Remember Brad Pitt seeing an Applebee’s in space in Ad Astra? We can escape the planet but we can’t escape capitalism.
