This may be the most depressing joke I’ve starred all day.

I haven’t been doing completion times or adding any info about my experiences with the games outside of a column for comments/progress summary; in fact, when a game’s done, it gets deleted off my spreadsheet entirely for the catharsis of having less info to juggle.

I actually had fun with that after I’d mastered gravity and ship controls. The really dumb one involves surfing in the DLC.

I just picked up Escape Simulator yesterday and ran through the tutorial with my Wednesday night online co-op partner, having just helped her platinum Operation Tango. The tutorial really was baby mode, dropping you into a nursery with a crib and primary-colored toys to learn the ropes. I don’t know that I really have…

That sounds like the sort of heist my sister would’ve engineered and I would’ve been blamed for - just distilled childhood, through and through.

I feel like I went PC shopping at just the right time in August 2020. I was going off of a list of recommended builds, but the Amazon prices were like $500-$1000 higher than the price ranges in the guide I was following, so I just gave up and bought a $1500 prefab so I wouldn’t have to snipe individual parts when…

Hollow Knight: Silksong | TBD (PC, Switch)

For as hard as To the Moon hit, Rakuen destroyed me.

For as hard as To the Moon hit, Rakuen destroyed me.

I don’t have specific memories of just chowing down on spoonfuls of Quik - I usually had the patience to stir it in and get it to dissolve and chew on whatever cocoa pebbles sanks to the bottom - but I also know I was a disgusting little child who would not have hesitated to shovel a heaping spoonful of anything…

I occasionally get the clicker bug, but after a week I invariable look at how much time I’ve spent on the game and take a step back to acknowledge that the diminishing returns aren’t very satisfying and I could be playing games that offer me a lot more variety, and then it’s gone, and I’m free of clickers’ grasp for…

I’ve definitely been over boasts of hundreds of hours of content for some years now. The one game I own that really would qualify as having over 100 hours without padding is Tabletop Simulator, which is really just an engine for playing thousands of other games, so I suppose that shouldn’t count. But generally, devs…

Yeah, having a frequency chart at your disposal is NEATO.

The combat in World of Horror feels a lot more predictable once you’ve played a few randomized campaigns and worked out how to improve your accuracy and/or when to run from fights. I enjoyed it more once I had a better handle on the mechanics, and I wondered if it was supposed to be like Nethack (i.e., you die until…

I’ve been grinding through Disgaea for the past couple of weeks. I owned the original PS2 release and wound up selling it and some other games when I needed to pay for my last semester of tuition. I always felt like I’d stopped short of some massive world of bonus content, but now that I’ve done everything the PC…

I mean, if they’d included Triciaisabirdy’s handle, most people reading the headline would be asking, “Who the fuck is Triciaisabirdy?” I think you’re misreading what the most important information of the article is.

Eh. He’s like a sea-minus captain.

God, the amount of effort it took me to get to the quote in paragraph two of this 316-word article was simply excruciating.

Anti-vaxxers will distort anything and everything to fit a narrative that they’ve been right all along. We shouldn’t filter what we communicate based on that. For anyone else, “Fortunately I was vaccinated, so I didn’t have any symptoms, but I’m still isolating at the advice of the experts” is a good thing to hear out…

Maybe they don’t like beans.

Would you like to take a survey?
