Imagining a game awards montage with both of these games and it cuts to Geoff and he looks like he lost 2 pints of blood in 30 seconds.
Why should I respect Geoff's Award Show when Beyond Citadel and Psycho Patrol R aren't indie nominees smh

In 2023, I commissioned Sofya Bulak, a talented artist I first discovered on Twitter, to paint a portrait of one of my favorite characters: En from 2017's ECHO.
This year, I commissioned her to do it again, and no surprise, she knocked it out of the park.
En from ECHO (2017) × Ghost in the Shell.

lrt: I bounced off Spotify for Deezer last month. The audio quality is appreciably better, my likes/playlists transferred seamlessly, the algo seems infinitely less pushy and more interested in getting you to tunes you like. Same cost, better service, pays artists 2x as much per stream, do it! Swap!

perhaps part of the problem with Games Being Taken Seriously is the medium's growth alongside an internet where there is no point so easily dismissed, so obviously incorrect, that it is not worth immediately arguing over like it matters without making an argument that matters.

I'm watching ELF (2003) and this is totally absurd. Aside from the outfit he doesn't even LOOK like an elf. He's too tall!
