I love when the Mad God beckons me towards his throne... and if he has a few tasks for me to complete to win his favour? Even better!

Thinking about how games often don't consider "gameplay" as part of their story. Eg. is the Last of Us a mature tale of revenge, or is it a story about rubbing up against shelves to see if the button prompt for crafting ingredients comes up? Because that's at least 50% of the game.

Probably my favourite "mission menu" of all time. The variety on show, that feeling of an epic globetrotting adventure even if, yes, they were all shite.

A screenshot of a tweet from the excellent Ben Schroder: "I love when a sub-100hr exp releases & every review is like "A Short, But Enjoyable, but Brief, Experience - this short game, though fleeting, packs a punch in its limited runtime. Though slighter than you might expect, you'll remember it after it's over, which is very quickly,"

Breaking: UK Labour Party outflanked to the left by the Death Planet, the sentient world-eating black hole star set to devour the Earth in 2029, which said on Good Morning Britain that trans women should be allowed to work as baristas. A Labour staffer with a 2:2 in Political Science called it woke.

Literally said this to my therapist yesterday. Turning the world into various "logical mechanics" and denying the importance of human emotion has done so much damage.
