I had so much more to do with fanybyte being toxic
Both Hades II and Clair Obscur are about the whims of gods who, in their petty squabbles, fail to treat the mortals beneath them as equals.

24.11.2025 22:07 — 👍 66 🔁 3 💬 2 📌 0I will be in L.A. adjacent to The Game Awards (for different reasons). Do you want to show me your game for coverage on Restart? Or just for the hell of it? Got a preview event? A mixer? A spare hour with nothing to do?
Let me know and we can figure something out!
Honestly one of the coolest start-up messages I've ever seen. Game: store.steampowered.com/app/3594120/...

24.11.2025 14:28 — 👍 20 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0In FFVII -and- Remake, Rude tries not to attack Tifa (though in the latter he will get her with AoE attacks if she is in the way) because he has a crush on her.

I don’t know if it only makes sense without the periphery stuff, but Nier has books, stage plays, etc. I once asked Taro about this and how are English fans supposed to keep up and he looked confused and asked “Why would you need to keep up? Who needs all of that?”
22.11.2025 15:35 — 👍 673 🔁 233 💬 7 📌 15Oh no I have to do work to review a game I’m so privileged to do my job in a post lamenting I have to bother someone over the holidays because if I don’t it runs into another event and I will not have time to do so.

22.11.2025 03:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My guess is she either runs for governor or Ossof’s senate seat. Ossof is weak and I can’t imagine she’s happy a Jewish person is the senator for Georgia.

21.11.2025 22:10 — 👍 40 🔁 1 💬 3 📌 0An odd thing is, with the way the industry is currently moving, it makes more sense for me to buy everything I want to get on PC right now, because it's almost more likely for future consoles to support Steam than it is for future consoles to support their past and current iterations.
