This, and it feels like there have been very few games that have felt like a significant "leap up" from last gen. I feel like this generation is just getting started and we're 5 years in.

Teardown, that game is so fun it should be illegal

Yet another reminder that some of the best games out today cost less than $30

Just a reminder that this game is 71 GB on Switch 2.

They showed off a 7-week-old build of current-gen Cyberpunk and it was running pretty well, I don't think we've seen a single impossible port yet and when we do it'll be very exciting

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.

The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.

Jump back into it.

Is it bad when you show someone the bass line you need to learn and they say โ€œthat looks like a flute partโ€

I've just invented the music genre "bagpipe jazz" and you're all going to find out what it sounds like unless my demands are met

Scott Joplin. It's said he had a symphony and a piano concerto in the works before he died. He was really just beginning to mature as a composer before he died.

"My wife's made a spreadsheet of all the great composers."
"Purcell?"
"Yes, that's how spreadsheets work."

Put video game music in symphony halls. DONT tell them itโ€™s from a video game. Watch how they lose their minds.
