The best game of the decade so far is UFO 50. BUT the second best game of the decade so far is Pentiment. Microsoft is out of their fucking minds.

That is fucking insane.

I know it's the one thing I say over and over again, but... it's insane to me that anyone has ever seriously entertained rating Madueke higher than Saka.

Shambles.

Incredibly good game.

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

That cheeky fucking ogre.

Simply lmao

The last two weeks, we have published 3.5-hour podcasts about cartoons. This has left me with very little uncovered dossier material to relay in the newsletter, but I do have one incredibly disgusting quote from a legendary musician in this week’s issue, and Marie is doing important work as always.

We’ve been spared from more of this game.

IAN DARKE: It's a glorious run, isn't it, given the ball it so clearly merited. LANDON DONOVAN: [nose in his own butt] Yeah DARKE: Served on a sliver platter in fact—and gobbled up quite deliciously in the end. DONOVAN: [gravely] Goals like that, people might not know, are actually hard to score.

JJ heads, don’t fret on my behalf! This won’t affect me or my review. Though I have Gone Viral many times, studios don’t consider me an “influencer.” However, nor do they consider me a “film critic.” Instead, they do not consider me at all, as I am a former academic turned bench player for a podcast

Liked by Letterboxd.

Marathon is probably the single coolest and boldest game a AAA dev has made this decade. And its creation has resulted in the gutting of one of the industry's most prestigious studios.

The combined power of LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards will result in the invention of a new homophonic slur so vulgar and upsetting that Target will run Pride ads all year long for the next three years.

I think this is the single most unnerving vocal delivery I have ever heard in a video game.

One day, I must believe, I will be freed of watching Noni Madueke play in place of a recovering Bukayo Saka.

I will probably write something longer about Giannis, the most important Wisconsin athlete of my lifetime, when I feel less numb about this entire protracted and stupid process. What I will say now is… it sucks that he nuked his legacy for *this*, of all things.

Looking like I have caught a summer cold on Father's Day. And have you considered that's the guy you're calling pretentious on Reddit right now

Logging on and the timeline is just the mayor of a city I’ve been to twice reposting 40 of his own posts. At least when I do it, it’s just a post at a time. And the posts always merit a second (or third) look, of course.

He just like me fr

Iran-New Zealand match of the tourney so far.

Oh they cooked with the art (and the movies) for my birthday month…

The most exciting moment in sports: when the goal scorer takes 10 seconds to figure out whether the referee’s announcement of the VAR results meant his goal counted.

It happened to me: I subscribed to a puzzles/games magazine that was advertised to me on Instagram and the puzzles and games fucking suck.

Mike Brown should be legally cleared to do The Purge for the next 48 hours.

Soccer’s on in 16 minutes.

Knicks fans, enjoy this. Because next year, Ryan Rollins and Myles Turner are coming for your ass.

For those of you who don’t follow sports closely, let me break this down for you: this is basically as insane a happening as, like, the New York Knicks winning an NBA championship, say.

De’Aaron Fox with the worst spotlight meltdown since Karla Sofía Gascón.

This would be so crazy for New York, the most persecuted city in the country, and for the Knicks specifically, the one team the NBA never wanted to see in the Finals, let alone winning it.

There’s a 7 foot 6 Frenchman who does things no one has ever done on a basketball court, attempts both genuine and hilarious/weird faux intellectualism off the court, and plays both the savior and the shitheel equally well on the court… and you want to turn your back on him?

Christopher Nolan’s last four movies—Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer—are easily my favorite movies he’s ever made. They all fucking rock. He has rightly become the most prominent big-budget filmmaker of the 21st century. And yet I just cannot give a single shit about The Odyssey lol.

JOSH O’CONNOR: Does this sound normal to you? [presses play] EVE HEWSON: I mean, I can hear it. But it’s just gibberish to me. JOSH O’CONNOR: See when I hear it, it sounds perfectly normal. In English, in a maybe artificially high-pitched voice, he’s saying, Cars 2 makes Cars 3 look like Cars 1.

Spoilers I guess.

I’m on this one.

Honestly it’s awesome to see New York react to this Knicks run like it’s the first good or noteworthy thing that has ever happened in New York. It reminds me of my hometown’s reaction to the Bucks title run, which was actually the first good or noteworthy thing that ever happened in Milwaukee.

Game had the juice.

Bluesky has group chats? Wow, awesome. I missed all the Twitter group chats I was in. Yeah, we had so much fun in those, the Twitter group chats I had been invited into and then was an active member of. Some of my favorite memories, actually, were in those groups, which I was in, and also part of ha

5-Year-Old Kojima Tweeting: 10:57: Just Ate "Twix Snickerdoodle". Wow! I enjoyed the subversion of the 'Cookie Element', and the lingering sweet flavor. This dessert makes one question what the nature of COOKIE and CANDY truly is. It is a rare "treat" for fans of the genre.👍 18:32: Ate "Broccoli".

I’m on this one.

Holy shit man lol

The refs must stop giving all of these free throws to the New York Knicks. I can’t believe what my eyes are seeing.

I am actually begging everyone from New York to listen to how you sound right now lmao

Maybe the game I'm looking forward to most this year.

“Vibrant visuals” and it’s just ugly ass Minecraft

Wuhu Island back in the news.
