Refusing to play most stellar, impactful, cinematic single player experiences on anything but easy difficulty, but will also spend six slow, painful hours growing a Stegasaurus in The Isle, only to be battered and eaten in 17 seconds as though that's a better time investment

Had the opportunity to ask the team behind Monster Hunter Stories how the spin-offs came to be, and why it felt right to turn Monster Hunter's trademark high-action combat into a turn-based experience for more casual players. Very fun!

PowerWash 2 giving you an empty shelf to fill up with progression trinkets is such bait, of course I will not rest until it's full

Hate those people that come round/leave flyers asking if you wanna sell your house, as there's a big demand in the area. Firstly, bold to assume I own this house, and secondly, if I did happen to own it, and I chose it, chances are I know it's a lucrative spot (which is why I live here). Bog off

There's a weird track on Ace Frehley's first solo album I always loved, super interesting guitarwork in what I can best describe as "Interstellar Hopecore", and I guess now is the best time to post about such things

I've fallen down a hole of watching live Jamiroquai and I cannot get over how GOOD Jay Kay is live, identical to studio recordings if not better. Never misses, what a voice
Also, Virtual Insanity on Hootenany '99 hits different, we used to be a country

it shouldn't be this hard to make a sequel when there is a PERFECT near-500 page guidebook on making it (if we ignore that the book is so perfect that it kinda negates the need for a movie)
But the movie needs to exist because none of my mates can read
