Saw a Clair Obscura cosplayer eating his baguette in line, much to the dismay of his fellow Expeditioners.

My favourite PAXAUS panelists are the secret panelists who hide in the audience

They're really enforcing the mandatory PAXAUS Saturday beer this year

First PAX as media and I'm having a blast even tho so far I'm not doing much different. Chatting with Devs, playing good games, and going to the pub. How good

I highly doubt this will ever launch, but part of me is extremely interested in the absolute train wreck this would be.

I just watched a video of an ICE agent trying to find a costumed frog's rear air hole to stick pepper spray in it, and, like, why are we paying people to do this

The 4th season especially is so peak, might be some of my favourite genre TV of all time - and Iain de Caestecker would have won awards if his performance in that season was on a more popular show.

This was technically late S1, which is frustrating because it makes it hard to recommend when most of S1 up until that episode is pretty shippable

Evidently an attempt to get Halo fans back on board after what has been a tumultuous period for the franchise (to say the least). Personally I'd love a new Halo that pushes the series forward rather than attempting to edit a piece of gaming history.

Sorry, The Library is just like that.

As has been said in the replies I think the consumer who wants this is buying it for the form factor over performance etc. This is a way to make your entire steam library mobile and it's very easy to play docked as well. As an original Ally owner who bought it on release, $999AUD is actually alright

They've certainly made some ... Editorial decisions this year

I played more Hades 2 in early access than Hades in total, and in my opinion it's better in almost metric. My one comment for people who waited to dive in is, in my opinion, Hades 2 is SUBSTANTIALLY easier than the original. Curious to see if that ends up being the consensus?

Result of going from 5 seasons to 2, I guess

ie. S1 is a powder keg building to an eventual all out explosion that threatens to change the entire city. In S2 a crack squad of people you don't know (+ Vi and Cait) go underground and sort 99% of it in a montage.

Strong agree. Narrative/pacing took an absolute nosedive and it feels like all the flashy lights and sounds made people forgive an extremely underdeveloped plot

It does seem to illicit pretty extreme reactions on vibe alone. When I previewed it I honestly couldn't stand how corporate it felt, but if I was playing it with mates instead of alone it would have likely insulated me from that.
