Dawg, this is like a next level Shit Take.
Historians will look back on this take with awe and disgusting intrigue saying “Yo, the fuck was wrong with this dude in 2021? ”

Hard agree on Pathfinder. While some games like Divinity: Original Sin have unbelievably professional dubs that make you question how it was even possible, voice acting now feels obligatory, which has resulted in some truly godawful performances that drag down the game around them, especially in indie fare. But given… Read more
You want obscurity? Every time I see a mention of Dark Souls I think of “Troubled Souls”.
A little bit of jumping around this week. WAYPTW aficionados might recall that I’ve spent a few weeks puzzling out Baba Is You. That hasn’t really been the case this week because, as my newer Steam achievements can attest:
Tonight, for the first time in years, I run a DnD game. This isn’t the campaign I’ve been preparing for months, just a one-shot to get into practice and learn to use Roll20, but I’m still feeling pretty hyped and nervous. Read more
Well I had been pleasantly surprised to see that tweet last night, but now I’m unpleasantly fucking pissed at this chickenshit move by IGN. Read more
Got my second vaccine jab this week, I was prepared for some major side effects but I think it was just my arm hurting (which everyone gets.) So I’ve been chilling with some Final Fantasy XIV and finally making some alts. Read more

I had a Jeopardy game for the Commodore-64. It gave you 30 seconds to type in your answer. It also relied on the honor system that you wouldn’t peek at other players answers during Final Jeopardy. Read more
I think you just answered the question of what was going on with a Twitch stream I popped in on earlier in the night. The streamer was largely silent, commenting on something unseen, and chat was competing to be the first to answer questions I felt like I was missing. I’m re-contextualizing this as everyone watching… Read more
To answer the question: no, not really. Read more
Well, since I haven’t posted in a WAYPTW thread since before Christmas, I have stuff to actually talk about for once!
It’s amazing that in my 36 years how much truly regrettable shit I’ve witnessed/experienced with this country. Like I remember during Bush W. era thinking “This is rock bottom, it can’t possibly get worse than being lucky to work in fast food” and comparing that to a literal attempted coup by rednecks led by a literal… Read more
You’re welcome! It’s a game that reviewed well at release, but it unfortunately seems to have failed to make an impact, so I’m doing my part to spread the word about its excellence.
This is a long post, but video games played a pretty big part of this year for me, so I wanted to write a longer retrospective. Most of the games I talk about didn’t come out this year, but two—both of which I loved—did. Read more
I recently finished The Witcher 3: Please, Geralt, could you stop exploring every unmapped corner and just save the world already? and its DLC...or at least as much of it as I cared to.
