Not for nothing but this is exactly why awarding this game with GOTY nominations and wins was such a piss poor move. You didnāt just normalise it, you lauded it.

I truly donāt know how people have been able to watch the process by which the indie games that get played and get talked about have morphed into an endless procession of slot machine simulators designed to appeal to northernlion and his audience of addicts without getting utterly bleaked out

A succulent Chinese meal?ā ā is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSAās Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higginsā 2004 hit Scar.

I just canāt imagine HBO Harry Potter making any adaptation choices worthy of serious media analysis. If you squint, the idea of critical writing being done on Hogwarts Legacy (not enthusiast reviews) you could uncomfortably understand but this new project? Highly doubt it.

I think this is disqualifying really; it fundamentally calls into question their ability to cover the field. If you want to know why games media sucks it's because it's filled with either grifters or... perhaps even worse.... cowards!

What Iāve found genuinely astounding about Survivor 50ās edit is that it has 24 huge personalities and itās somehow balancing their storylines and screen time perfectly. Each hour episode feels like an entire emotional meal.
