Barely posting. Profile pic is a commissioned pixel art piece by @bachelorsoft.bsky.social, after a painting by the late, great Rick Froberg.
I recently combed through 2019 critics' lists for a project, and from that data set, KH3 and TW: Three Kingdoms are the bigger outliers in this pic. Both on release and since, I've heard a lot of praise for Gears 5 (to the point that I kind of want to try it, even tho I really dislike Gears)

Does playing 100+ hours of Assassin's Creed Origins and thinking it was pretty mid the whole time, but then reaching the last DLC and suddenly finding one of my favourite game experiences of the last decade count? Tbf, I don't think mine is a valid counter-argument, I just had an actual example

What an amazing initiative. Thank you so much for speaking out, and for taking action as well.

they're calling it the Cameron% speedrun

I don't know if I've ever seen a comics reader do that kind of horizontal issue overview band while in landscape before; if it is a Sweet original, kudos on the idea!

Ooh, are you in the beta? If so, what's the experience like? Waiting with bated breath for an invite (or 1.0) myself

Med tanke på hvor vanskelig det ofte er for bilister å se vanndammer (spesielt vanndammer ideellt plassert for nedspruting av nærgående fotgjengere), føler jeg at den detaljen bare gjør det hele enda mer realistisk

Fy flate så bra. Med slik innsats tror jeg vi kan ta sikte på et dobbelt så stort brutto nasjonalprodukt innen neste onsdag

Don't the dubs have translations of on-screen text? If so, I'd imagine this would be just much of a problem for dub watchers as for sub watchers

Nice; I'm a couple behind, so that'll be a treat!

Ooo, didn't know you played PMA; looking forward to hearing you talk about it on the @insertcredit.com GotY episode(s), maybe? Playing it right now myself, and so far very much agreed on the Pinky of it all

A Midnite Vultures era show? With possibly some Mutations tracks as well? Oooo

Oh wow, yeah, thank you! Amazon's search engine is so messed up that if I search for your name or "Pixie Trix" and the category is set to "all", the Pixie Trix collections do not show up. If I set it to "Kindle store", specifically, they do show up.

They look amazing! Associating the Ravensburger logo exclusively with boardgames for the previous 40+ years of my life, it's kind of trippy to see it on a book cover. How many titles did they publish in that series?

Jeg får også fnatt over hvor mange folk jeg ellers oppfatter som oppegående som har et fullstendig ukritisk forhold til KI. Men med tanke på hvor elendig ensidig dekningen i norsk media har vært, hvordan skal egentlig norskspråklige som ikke leser/konsumerer engelskspråklig media lære?

Stellar episode as per usual; especially appreciated the redux Pikmin short film chat.
Would love a segment on a future episode about 8-4's work on localising Hades 2 for the Japan release, if that's something you're able to talk about?
