I had something similar happen, except I work for a urologist, so instead of giving me a PS5, he just placed a catheter.

Nah, for a troll style hot dog, you get a plain hot dog on a standard, harmless bun and get to customize it with whatever condiments/fixins you want, you think you’re good, but when you bite down, turns out the wiener was just ketchup in casing - a chupwurst, they’ll call it.

Getting through O&S for the first time, I was excited that the fight finally clicked and that I knew I could do it again, so I spent a couple hours being people’s ghost guide through the fight before moving on. The feeling of mastery and the excited XBL messages I got back from a few people who’d been stuck on the…

I really had fun with Operation: Tango. I felt like it was a great take on what Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes would be like if you weren’t trapped in the same room the whole time, and I especially appreciated that the players took turns on who had all the info and who was shouting, “No, I don’t need that yet! I…

The circles that I travel in on Twitch are really into the Yakuza series, but every time I pop in to watch people playing them, they’re finishing some major fight, then heading onto some crowded market street where they can sing karaoke or fan dance to rhythm game mechanics, and it all feels disjointed and weird in a…

Are the shitworms wearing pants?

I generally tend toward making nicer decisions in games, but man, going through as a dark-side female jedi with a focus on charisma/manipulation brought out some of the best dialogue, in a game that already featured HK-47.

I watched someone play through the first chapter of the original Life Is Strange for their first time this week, and make countless incorrect guesses about the direction the story was going to go, and genuinely get engrossed in the experience. It made me want to catch up on the series. I really enjoyed the first game. …

Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s Burger King just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

All part of the “be a heron, not a Karen” campaign.

I keep looking up at the username after reading exceptionally good posts, and I keep seeing your name. You’re always a welcome presence in this here Kinjaverse.

This story had a much happier ending than I thought possible.

Going from Sheegor sounding like a complete nutcase for suggesting her pet turtle would have a plan to save the day, to humoring her whims and finding out Mr. Pokeylopes legitimately has a plan, is such a great gag.

I’ve heard such universally good things about Psychonauts 2, it’s probably going to be the next game I buy. With it and Metroid Dread releasing so close to one another, and New Pokemon Snap, Great Ace Attorney, and the Final Fantasy pixel remasters still singing to me from their respective digital storefronts, this…

I’ll do lists when there are some things I will die without (or, like, have to make a same-day return visit for), but generally I just meditate on the sorts of meals I want to live off of for the next week (balancing convenience and how relaxing chopping vegetables sounds to me) and then decide on the exact dishes…

Just about every time I say that tipping is stupid, and that restaurant staff should just be paid a living wage, someone responds with, “Well then the restaurant’s just going to add that into the price of the food!”

I just made a spreadsheet of several baked goods and combined all their names. Cruffin was the worst one on the list.

Did I post this? Do I have an alternate account that I don’t know about? That is definitely a thought I’ve had.

Without clicking the video...

Having played Dragon Quests 1-7, I’d pick out 3, 4, 6, and 7 as the standouts. If you’ve got the time to sink into the whole series, it is a pretty interesting evolution. From purely one-on-one combat with exactly one save point for the entire game in DQ1, to multiple heroes with more specialized roles and multiple…
