I grew to really love and appreciate TTPD, to the point of finally buying it in physical when she put out the whole Anthology on disc

and I have the full context of the album! I don't read that one song as a direct response to that other song, I read it as a response to what I'm sure has been a year of Matty Healy poisoning the well given how close he is to George and therefore Charli

I feel so frustrated as someone that likes it a lot lol
Like I feel very alone but my best friend that co-listened with me and hasn't liked a Taylor album since 1989 also genuinely enjoyed it

the intensely negative reactions are very baffling to me TBH, like did we listen to the same thing because this album sounds incredible and I really liked the vast majority of the lyrics lol

Colin Buchanan @arcaneranger.bsky.social · 8d

there's definitely a big old speed bump on it but otherwise I really really enjoyed the first listen

On October 1, 2018, Noisy Pixel launched.

Seven years later, we've grown from a couple friends writing about games to that same group + a couple more doing the same thing.

This has been an amazing journey, and we're grateful so many people have chosen to hang out us. Thank you

Here's my rant on review codes and why game publishers need to support smaller games media outlets.

tripped and fell and ended up in a raid static 😅

Colin Buchanan @arcaneranger.bsky.social · 16d

I have mixed feelings about the recast but the game itself deserves better than that original release and I'm hoping it'll be a net positive.

I played the PSP ones! What a goofy little series, I was shocked they were making a new one in the first place lol

I'm ngl Alex Garland is one of my favorite directors of the era, I'm one of the people that really fucked with Men a couple years ago

Replace "Mario" with "Peach" and "Peach" with "Luigi"and I'll be on board

Demon Slayer lost me hard in the second season when it proved that this author refuses to write even one female character whose life doesn't revolve around a man

and then season three gives us a Hashira whose ultimate goal in life is... finding a good man to protect her

This is the job I wanted as a kid and never in a million years thought I'd actually be capable of, and the journey goes ever onward. Next March will mark half a decade of work on this site, and I only ever get excited at the opportunity to do even more.

I'll see y'all in Boston!
