When the problems are the same problems, the conversations tend to be the same conversations

Here dog, c’mon dog

Birmingham’s in Troy

New graphics, same content.

YES

Lack of institutional memory is one reason why games criticism keeps having the same conversations over and over again.

But another reason is that games themselves are not terribly interested in listening to or learning from almost any of these conversations.

I know I didn’t do the proper accent over the u. There’s only so much I’m willing to do on a phone key screen

Artisanal, small-batch criticism

Bien sur!

You are not Pete Townshend

I keep telling you to get your concertina rage in check

Ambrosia Sky on Steam You left. Now they’re dead. Ambrosia Sky: Act One is an immersive sim about exploring an asteroid colony devastated by a mysterious contamination. Survive and harvest strains of aggressive alien fungi...

Couldn't get any review work for Nov, which is a pity because there are a lot of exciting indies releasing this month. I'm looking forward to these - and if you're open to commissioning any this month, please let me know!

I just re-read If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler. Still good.

Yeah, Toronto maybe? Dan Bouk is a longtime Jays fan, apparently. And I can think of Nav!

The fleeting beauty of a popsicle

I mean, what do you think the Sumerians used for their popsicles?

I love cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice, but my aversion to pumpkin is so strong that I will never buy “pumpkin spice” anything unless I’m 1000% sure that there is zero pumpkin flavor in it and there’s only one way to know for sure so just no.

Huzzah!
