This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.

You take the veggie pizza - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the supreme pizza - you stay on Lego Island and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

DK Bananza is the most wonderfully depressing game. It’s clearly the work of lifelong game developers mentoring novices and it’s the kind of game we’d have a lot more of if game publishers actually let game development be a stable, life-long career for people.

I don't know what galaxy-brain level exec decided it would be cool to purchase a profitable gaming blog and then immediately lay off the staff that make it what it is five weeks before a massive console launch but fuck them and fuck this.

Can't stop laughing about how in the middle of me listening to the most recent ep of @bloodgodpod.bsky.social after Dark and hearing @seamoosi.bsky.social reference how many times The Last of Us has been re-released it somehow got ANOTHER RE-RELEASE.

I’m so very late to the party, but I just finished the #Mistborn trilogy a couple nights ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t properly express how incredible it is to have found what may be my favorite fantasy novels of all time. Looking forward to reading #Warbreaker next!

Me when Nintendo announces Music app for NSO subscribers: “Okay, sure, I guess? Not entirely sure this is for.”

Me a few days later listening to Wii Menu Music on loop in my parked car: “Oh it is for ME, it is SO for ME.”

I’m rather shocked & embarrassed that I never stopped to think about this practice more critically. In retrospect, I can think of at least a dozen examples off the top of glowing, effusive previews or even cover stories for games that were later critically savaged; or worse, forgotten to time.
Video game previews are not great:
