Still blows me away how relatively straightforward it is to get MTG cards if you just want to play with friends and how absolutely impossible it is to buy Pokémon cards to actually play the TCG.

Help Rowan out. She’s in the grim slog of disability bureaucracy where they fuck with you for years on-end and demand you basically turn “fighting the system” into an unpaid full time job when you’re at your most depleted.

No gap between the gushing reviews and the game itself have felt more acute to me this year than Fire Emblem, which had me all excited for spreadsheet battles with Bravo TV characters and is instead full of tons of other much less appealing filler.

Gears of War: E-Day is very good at some things and very bad at others. Haven't quite finished yet but I've been zig-zagging between we're so back and it's so over with every Act. There will be a full review once we've had time with multiplayer and I've had time to sit with the campaign.

I haven't gotten as much time in with Songs of Glimmerwick as I'd like! It took me a few hours to really click with but I'm really jiving now with its mix of the gameplay you get in "endless" farm sims like SV and an actual plot that progresses day by day no matter what you do

We live in a golden age of statements from video game companies that sound like estranged family explaining that they know they fucked up, they’ve worked on themselves, and they’re gonna do better now. And it’s only been a month since they told everyone to go fuck themselves and did a burnout.
