Game Designer at Archetype Entertainment. Formerly BioWare. I like arguing, music, and margaritas.
I have a lot less patience for story games these days. Trying Death Stranding 2 and while I remember enjoying the first one this one feels so much more boring and slow to get going. I remember in DS1 being scared and in awe of the world, this one is just kind of delivery simulator from the start.

I don’t get Air Riders. I really don’t. To me it feels like Mario Kart, but worse. It’s fine, it’s fun enough, it has cute characters but the racing feels so off to me.

Tried Lumines Arise for an hour. Immediately refunded because it's not colorblind accessible at all on certain stages.

Every time I hear the phrase “Italian food” I think of the $30 Italian meal meme and OP going “Italian FOOOOOd”. The internet has poisoned my brain.

Expedition 33 is an indie game now? Lol we have truly ruined this qualifier.

I can't tell if Game of the Year discussion is more insufferable than in other mediums because I'm not as plugged into like, the Pulitzer Prize or Best Picture or whatever. Do those have like 35 year old man children arguing about them online, too?

Glen Powell must have in his contract that he must wear at least one (1) disguise in every role.

Game dev pro tip: if someone questions why you are using a constant or magic number, just start calling it a “coefficient” — it sounds cooler and makes it seem like you know what you are doing.

I feel like AI use falls into the optimization trap. “Wouldn’t it be cool if” I could have AI do X for me. And the amount of time it takes you to explain exactly what you want to the AI, you could have done it already.

I will probably get a Steam Cube if it is reasonably priced.

👎👎Did not care for this at all. A real bait and switch of a novel, and 200 pages too long. Not sci fi OR horror. Extremely slow paced with zero payoff at the end. Not recommended.
Trying to get through The Luminous Dead but this book has some of the slowest pacing I’ve ever read. And it’s not like good slow paced like building dread and mood it’s like restating the same thing over and over again, like watching Goku charge the spirit bomb for 10 episodes in DBZ.
