It’s out mostly everywhere now. Switch 1 soon. Can’t wait to hear what y’all think! 🙏🏾

Goodnight Universe reviews are coming out and it’s a surreal experience. Mostly positive stuff out there (85 on MC!!) which I love reading but I also appreciate going through the criticism too. Cool seeing publications I admire taking the time to review the game. It’s sick. Love y’all.

im competing with steam too...now gimme 100 billion dollars @amazon @meta @bigtech @bestbuy @homedepot
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

They’re frying me in the group chats for being a Legends Z-A enjoyer. Life is hard when you got real taste…

A lot of thoughts but all I can say right now is that the nostalgia I get from listening to this track is gut-wrenching. What a time. Fuck.
According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.
I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.
I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Yeah that’s because in science fiction the AI/robots have emotions or souls or are part human. Fucking chat GPT is a fancy autocorrect
in much of 20th century science fiction, anti-ai/anti-progress bigots are depicted variously as religious fanatics, right wing social conservatives, and so on. it has turned out quite differently.
