What’s this about a thought living “rent free” in your head? Are you telling me you normally charge your thoughts rent? That you’re the landlord of your mind?

I will just go ahead and admit that I dock games for doing things that I give Dark Souls and its successors a completely free pass for. I don’t have to be fair. I’m like the headteacher of a strict Catholic school and FromSoft is my perfect angel who never does anything wrong.

From 'Severance' to 'Death Stranding,' Pools of Viscous Black Goo Celebrate Their Moment

In the old days if you made a viral tweet the local newspaper would send a reporter to your house and a studio head’s executive assistant would call to ask if you wanted a job writing television

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

the evidence is continuing to mount that a lot of people really need more hobbies that don't have anything to do with the internet
