2026 is my tenth year writing for GQ. Death comes for us all.

My love, support and condolences to Pat Dane’s family and closest friends. He will be greatly missed 🖤

Horrible news. RIP

What the fuck that is devastating. Jesus.

Personal opinion but BG3 is a boundary-pushing genre game in practically every way. CO is not that. It is a sincere story with great writing.

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

Hahahahahahahha

How Clair Obscur became 2025's runaway game of the year: ‘This game is so f**king French’ Pastel apocalypse, nostalgic combat and the most The Game Awards nominations in history — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an unlikely indie smash hit. Its creator reflects on a life-changing year

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

AI booster unable to imagine something? No, surely not?

IZ CHRISTMAS BABY

Zarah’s utopia removes any direct accountability and shares it among such large groups that it would be chaos. I have friend groups of 6 that can’t decide where to meet for dinner unless someone takes the lead. The idea of running a first world economy that way is bonkers.

I think the problem all of the big national radical changes ignore is that we exist in a global system. It’s very hard to change our rules when the global markets will react unfavourably - this works for and against us (eg them crucifying Truss for her moves)

Yeah I’ve got the Xbox one…

Yeah but even normal PC and everything I use day to day isn’t this bad. It just seems wholly unfit for release. Charge doesn’t seem consistent. Screen sometimes doesn’t fully wake from sleep. Laggy interface. Can’t easily access settings. Get into a game and it’s great but into one is a slog

The ROG Ally might have the worse user experience of any console I have ever used. I would may go as far as saying the worst of any tech product I’ve used. Just abysmal.

Oh my god yes

Your OW2 video was great (presuming this is about that)

Oh sorry I thought Sam meant specifically hate Ex33. I loved Eternal Sonata! Imagine a game about Frédéric Chopin being made now. Can’t compute.

Does anyone hate it?! I mean probably.

Clair Obscur having the most Game Award nominations ever is our La La Land @ 2017 Oscars. A perfectly great thing (I love LLL!) that made people go insane.

Holdovers.

Motherfucker got Letterboxd. Pope in the Criterion Closet.

I still use the long-discontinued Steam Link streaming device every week. Not many people know that about me. *pause for gasps*

*sure Jan meme*

Are we shaking on this bet?
