They should invent paychecks that go further.

On one hand I'm a bit sentimental about getting rid of the bed that I've had since I moved out of home until now. It went through the entirety of my 20s & pre-married life.

On the other hand, ewww oh Christ oh fuck it experienced the ENTIRETY of my 20s & pre-married life.

Maybe it's fitting that the night before my brand new mattress arrives I have absolute dogshit sleep on my 15 years old one.

I do the same thing constantly. I really miss the style of earbuds that had a cord between them that went behind your neck. It made taking them out to talk to people or whatever much easier too.

College Football was probably great but not everyone that votes is American.

Who else is nostalgic for multiplayer shooters *not* having progression systems? Coz I sure am.

It was an entirely okay video game-ass video game!

As an aside, that Activision Deadpool game from around 2010 to this day sits stupidly high in my Steam 'most played' list purely because I left it on pause at one stage in my 20s & didn't return home for several days.

Okay I finally got to this & fuck me dead it is an all-timer of a review.

Your other must-read slice of games criticism for today:

The one bit of criticism Arnold has of his version that I do agree with is that the cinematography is pretty flat & uninteresting.

I get shooting the network TV show stuff like a network TV show but the whole flick is shot like that.

This weekend did not feature my best performance in Burnout 3's Crash Mode.

Kat is the best to ever do it! If you need music for anything, ask her -- she's just finished on our soundtrack for Drฤƒculeศ™ti and everything she composed for us is impeccable ๐ŸŽต

I'm sorry you guys copped shit over Cyberpunk! Awful.

At the store I was working at at the time, I actually had to scan through & box up a few hundred copies of it for return to the supplier about 3 months after it launched.

The company was convinced it would be a major seller on PS4 & Xbone. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

lol you actually mentioned on an early episode of the podcast that the director of KC:D2 was a knob who had publicly picked on someone for giving his game a low score. That was me & my review. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคก

But yeah, Cyberpunk was a shitshow & I was actually relieved in the end that I didn't get to review it.

The amount of times I've been yelled at by randos for lowering the metacritic score & thereby putting developers jobs at risk is Too Fucking Many, & I know plenty of others have suffered that same harassment far worse than I.

Game reviewers should use the full range of scores and opinions available to them. Itโ€™s not a healthy cultural environment otherwise. Tommy Wiseau worked really hard on The Room but that doesnโ€™t make it a good movie.

@lexluddy.xyz Lex, your COD review is a fucking excellent piece of analytical writing. Damn well done. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘

Lex's Call of Duty review treats Call of Duty like it's art that says something, not a product. It is an essential review of Call of Duty that has the gall to examine it as more than a yearly excuse to play army man and kill other people online with your buddies. You should read it.

Same, Black Ops was always my shit. Everything about the new one is just bumming me out to read on.

Kind of a bummer to always see โ€œgame directionโ€ interpreted as โ€œgame that looks most like a Hollywood movie.โ€

Working with @nicholasmc1.bsky.social on this fairly unusual game was an absolute joy! re-calibrating my concept work for first person was a pretty interesting challenge as well! ( everyone else wants top down) I made Key art, concepts and a few cheeky 3D characters as well!
