Have you ever had one of those moments where you found out two pieces of culture you were peripherally aware of were actually the same thing? Like I knew since I was a kid that there was a song about “a bicycle built for two”, and I was also aware of the “Daisy, Daisy” trope from 2001 when HAL is being shut off,…

I think probably this doesn’t mean anything, unless that logo is an entirely new one. Even then, I’m skeptical.

Has there ever been a game that’s been in two Indie World Showcases? I don’t think we should expect to see Silksong in another one.

Spelunky is way past due on the Switch, and it’s not even coming out until next Summer. It’ll be nice to have Spelunky 2 as well, though.

I guess I don’t think of the Game Awards as being a Silksong sort of crowd. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Considering we’re only a year removed from Smash killing Luigi (Rest In Peace)

Same here.

Oh man, I thought of “Mog on a Chocobo”, but I didn’t even consider Cait Sith. That would have been amazing.

I wouldn’t call it a cash grab exactly, unless they already had the localization ready. A brand new localization costs money and I imagine they want to recoup some of that cost.

I know the news anchors always pronounce it “Q Anon”, but I guess I always assumed it was supposed to be pronounced like the word “canon”. As in, there’s this person “Q”, and these conspiracy theories are his canon.

I know I’ve been hard on your articles, but I hope you get well soon, Ari. Or I guess you’re already “well”, but I hope you don’t have a relapse or any long-term effects.

Since I started reading the article I had Fuse’s theme running through my head. And then what do you know, he’s a playable character now! I guess I’ll pick this up even though I never finished it back in the day and am unlikely to finish it now.

Based on the silence here in the comments section, I’m guessing the answer to your question is: “Nobody cares.”

Yeah. It’s pretty fun.

*pushes glasses up on nose*

The only thing I don’t like about this is another round of blind bags. Just let me but them individually. They’re already overpriced. Isn’t that enough?

I do have all the necessary hardware, somehow. And this might actually get me to play Sunshine on Switch a bit more. I started it and then stopped after realizing just what a mediocre game it really is.

Yes, and I respect that. It’s my favorite Metroid Prime game. It’s great in general but specifically I’m a sucker for the whole, “enemies have stolen your abilities and you need to beat sub-bosses who use the stolen abilities in order to get them back” part.

Sure, but that’s adding a gameplay element beyond spinning your control stick, so it’s at least slightly better than just freezing you. Also you’re unlikely to be killed while frozen, I’m guessing.

Look, I’ve never played Destiny or Destiny 2, nor to I generally click on these articles about them. But when a real-time game freezes you in place for several seconds, that’s always terrible game design.
