New Mario Tennis Fever trailer confirms that Toads canonically have to clean up after Mario, Peach, and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom aristocrats leave the court in an absolute state. Disgraceful behaviour.

I try to embody the message of "make more mediocre art" but for my baking. If it makes my wife and friends happy, I'm doing a good job and will get better through practice!

So good to have the Six Nations back, even if starting on a Thursday keeps me forgetting that I have to work tomorrow.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't envious.

I hope someone is showing local council members and residents the impact that the supporting data centers have had on the lives, health, and housing prices of those living near them in the US

You want back-to-back composer interviews on @restart.run? We got 'em! I had the good fortune of chatting with @jessezuretti.bsky.social about his work on 2XKO, the metal community, and working with Polyphia!

โ€œThose moments I wanted to be as deeply woven with the DNA of what metal music is and the culture and the community as humanly possible, because โ€“ it's not a criticism, it's just an observation โ€“ but a lot of the times it's implemented into games and soundtracks from a much more voyeuristic perspective, not having been to shows, played shows, toured, spent money, and been hurt for the genre

Oof, this is gorgeous. I don't do much photo mode stuff in most games, but when a game's style clicks with me, I can lose hours in it.

Chris was even kind enough to explain all of the climbing terminology to a scrub like me. I now understand that it's a good thing to have crabs when climbing.

After making interviewing composers *my* thing, Jesse had to go and upstage me by chatting with THE Akira Yamaoka. Unbelievable! Go read it. He sat through Return to Silent Hill for this, after all.

A murder mystery in a full-on fantasy setting is no mean feat but The Tainted Cup definitely delivers an enjoyable one. I could go for more of these!

Having this experience recounted to me by @mamavitelli.bsky.social has me oh so much more excited for Requiem. I was a little worried about the action-horror split

My favorite thing was hearing them talk about how every NPC would have a full day cycle and their own life, whereupon I was hit with a full-force flashback to Oblivion promising the exact same thing two decades ago.
