Gotta love ADHD because I start my afternoon ready to write an article with a strict deadline and then I suddenly wind up on the wikipedia page for mongooses having no idea how I got there.

I love Hades 2 so much but I cannot stop thinking about how the final moments rob Melinoe of such deserved agency.

Here’s far too many conflicted words on the ending. #Hades2

There’s so so much. Keep on trying new takes on existing runs to see what other small conversations I can find.

Tore through this in a couple of days. It’s a difficult read at points but so justified in its anger towards the world we live in today.

My heart was firmly in my throat during the final act. 🪱

Killer stuff @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social.

Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel remain two of the finest 3D platformers ever made, but the obscene $70 price tag for the new bundle makes it a difficult experience to review.

It feels like two classics are being gated by a much higher price and Nintendo knows it can get away with such a thing.

I bought my sister a life-sized Jey Uso cutout for her birthday and hid it in her bathroom.

I’ve been broken for the last ~24 hours but my first big TGS piece has just dropped.

I spoke to Resident Evil Requiem director, Nakanishi-san, and producer, Kumazawa-san, about returning to Raccoon City, and what they learnt from 5 & 6, and revisiting Outbreak.

The bad faith discourse going on around Knights of Guinevere right now is honestly astounding.

I wrote a small thing about Frankie and the toxic expectations of modern fandoms.

Hades 2 is exceptional. Supergiant has yet again crafted a nuanced narrative journey with so much depth and unpredictability.

Everything about it is so touching, driven, and eager to surprise at every turn. 🌓

Bravo, @supergiantgames.bsky.social.

I still have so much to see in the full game so the review doesn’t go super deep on things, but hopefully it gets the point across that Hades 2 rules.
