Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

What I really appreciate about Dark Ties is that Mine and Daigo's relationship is still every bit as queer coded as it was the original. There were so many chances to make Mine not gay as hell and they took none of them. Love that guy.

Direct was kinda a wash. I hope Orbitals is good though, that game still looks fun.

Sometimes I think about adding the nsfw VNs I play to my Backloggd/media thread but that might be a little too much even for me.

Going to start sharing the Backloggd reviews I'm most proud of, starting with my review of Cairn. I really talked myself into loving this game while writing this review. That ending man. bckl.gg/q3V1
TwentyUno's review of Cairn | Backloggd
For most of Cairn, I wanted to like it more than I did. I already liked it a lot, I really appreciate the current boom of climbing games, I appreciate what they represent as a reaction to the way clim...

LENA, THE CRYPTOZOOLOGIST'S WIFE - A defeat, I'm afraid. The people of this archipelago tried to build something new, something *different*. The rest of the world didn't like it, so they came and ended it. This was forty two years ago.

In a weird way I think being a Paper Mario fan kind of inoculated me against the fear of franchise decline. Like seeing Yakuza fans go through the 5 stages of grief when their beloved IP starts to decline, it's a mix of the "first time?" meme but also perspective that you will be fine without it.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

I mean I say all that but I do get why it exists. World's going to shit and we can't do anything, so we retreat into nostalgia. Except even our nostalgia is subject to the changing times, and that's not the way we want it, so we lash out harder at smaller scale issues.

I've long since decided that fandom is awful and poisonous but this current era of grifting and inflated grievances is more exhausting than I ever expected

There's so much funny awful shit in here it's hard to know where to start. Cancelling new IPs to double down on existing franchises is up there though, how is that materially any different to what they've already been doing for the past 10 years.
