congratulations to the democrats for arriving at the exact conclusion they wanted.

yeah because i have never once and will never dare to call my wife a ~friend~

For years, I’ve criticized the Democratic Party. This is why. Not due to hate, but out of love for the working class. This version of the Democratic Party at the federal level has enabled a genocide, refused to hold a robust primary in 2024, and is now caving on healthcare. 1/2

good thing I have had so much success with John Fetterman in the past!! A sick traitor to all he represents.

absolutely pathetic democratic party that people will shout at you for not enthusiastically supporting

tired: can you review a game if you don't like the series it's from? wired: how can you review a game if you don't like the series it's from? podcast: youtu.be/XUBuBtqBlzo?...

do people really think reviewing a video game is the same thing as reviewing a refrigerator? Can we measure the objective qualities of a video game against other similar products? Can we do a price/value breakdown? Should every video game review reveal the same collected data?

early impressions of hyrule warriors age of imprisonment: does someone at Nintendo hate Princess Zelda?

pretty good coverage in my area making sure people knew about this. Hell yeah

I think people should write about the games they are reviewing.

desperately need a coffee but I am stuck in a meeting for the next two hours pls send help

I see a lot of writing online in which the thesis is basically "this new thing reminds me of this cool older thing!" or "this cool thing ppl like is indeed awesome!" but not in ways that freshly illuminate anything or examine things in new ways. It's content for content's sake & it's exhausting IMO

too many high priority indie games only available on PC this year 😭
