Not really a good analogy, in my opinion. Once you’ve had a bite or two of spicy food, you’ve essentially experienced all you need to know of it. More bites are just more of the same.

I like hard games quite a bit, but there are a lot of instances where if you give me an easy mode, I’m going to take it. Sometimes I just want to see cool shit and experience a game and its story without much resistance.

I don’t knock astrology as a hobby

Drake’s 50,000-square-foot (4,645-square-meter) Toronto manor includes an NBA-sized indoor basketball court,

How could I have forgotten that Jim Beaver is “Robert A. Singer”?? Amazing.

Indeed.

My first thought was Actraiser, the SNES classic I still sometimes play for the town building. But since there isn’t a good legal path to acquiring it (come on, Nintendo!), I’ll go with Inside (2016).

The next time I’m at a friend or relative’s place that allows grilling, definitely trying a grilled pickle inside my bloody caesar.

Where’s the horse racing game?

I make a seemingly good comment and anticipate lots of likes. Realize a day later when I have no likes that I came upon an article seven months old and it was just randomly retweeted into my timeline. 

Maybe not Lady Loki, but Enchantress? Spanish credits listed her name as Sylvie. 

Can you really say this is the “team behind Castlevania” without Warren Ellis? I’m beyond thrilled that more Castlevania is coming, but I’m curious if the quality dips without its former writer.

Sports franchise game come out with the same product year after year. They might be prettier, but they’re functionally no different than something you played five years ago. They all get the same B grade, because why not? They’re not being reviewed for what they could be, but for what they are. I’d like it if more…

This reminds me of the the discussion around Borderlands 3. Prettier, but essentially just more of the same formula. As a BL diehard I didn’t care because MORE BORDERLANDS, but I will admit that I didn’t stick around after maxing out two characters or come back to the DLC. Looking back, I think the lack of innovation…

An actual Rainbow Six: Quarantine mode would be pretty solid, though. A bunch of dudes break down my apartment door, grapple in from the window of my second story place, it’s just me without pants, a little drunk from day drinking, in front of a laptop watching Netflix for the 6th hour of the day.

What an asshole.

Lately I’ve been playing more stuff I can pick up and put down at a leisurely pace, most of the time just dicking around. Like Skyrim, for the 1000th hour or something. This weekend I’ll give No Man’s Sky a shot for the first time since it launched. Seems very chill. 

I got my partner one for her birthday and she loved it, though the process usually involved me helping with her back and shoulders. Fine with me, it just meant I wouldn’t experience regular hand cramps anymore. 

I’m with you. I managed to stick with Arrow until the end, but by the end of its run I had already bailed on The Flash and Supergirl. The Legends were my only tie to the Arrowverse anymore, and that show’s quickly gone down hill. Sara being away from the team has sucked, I don’t like Gary being a bigger part of the…
