Every Fortune's Weave trailer: You can play the campaigns in parallel! Play how you want! It's fun to swap between them! Every Fortune's Weave game system: DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE EVEN LOOK AT THOSE OTHER CAMPAIGNS!

Wow, Ocarina of Time remake looks great!
A screencap from the trailer for Kirby and the World Beyond where Kirby is holding a giant glowing sword that looks weirdly like the Master Sword and wearing a long green hat that looks a lot like Link's hat. This post is made in jest, as Kirby is very cute and fun, whereas I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks horrendous.

Sad I'm not there anymore to get a second negative performance review for not being a team player in the company Slack channels about another banger move by the sports division.

Tephra is the first planet you’ll explore in Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions — and it's teeming with wildlife! 👀 Ranging from the curious Carrotlings to the belligerent Bog Hounds, you’ll have to discover how to coexist with them all 👇️ Read all about it: buff.ly/qwErpgd

Melina is teething, which means she occasionally leaves blood stains on her toys that make it look like she murdered them.

Melina's hair is starting to grow out more, so now she has goofy little swirls on her head.

I've been playing Once Upon a Galaxy nonstop since John recommended it, and I really want to give this game a shoutout! It's a great mobile title, but it's also on Steam, and on their store page they have a whole section demonstrating their art process and noting that no AI is used.

Man, the more I look at this survey the more annoying it is. Why would you segment the hours like this? It should be 35-40 and 41-44 hours! With these bands you're including overtime alongside normal 40 hour weeks! Your data is scuffed! This is survey amateur hour!

The extra tidbit here that really caught me off guard is the title of "New York Stock Exchange CEO". I guess I had always assumed it was some sort of government entity? I legitimately did not think I could have a worse opinion of the stock market as a concept, but here we are.

Okay team, need some advice. A few minutes ago, I spotted an orange cat hiding in our backyard, who fled under the fence out of our yard when we made eye contact. It's dropping below freezing at night, is there anything I can do to help the little guy out?

Looking for phone game recommendations for something to do while hanging out in a puppy pen! Needs to be playable in vertical orientation with one hand so I can keep the other free to deal with a puppy doing puppy things! Please help, she keeps falling asleep in my lap and I need something to do!

Melina has started going to the crate by herself for naps and, I gotta say, it's pretty great when a puppy is functionally training herself!

The craziest thing about games and movies is that stock market investors have already figured this out for decades. You make one or two big bets, but mostly you make reliable profit from a ton of smaller bets. Some win, some lose, some get you 1000x your investment.

My experience with Unbeatable so far is that it's absolutely a hot mess. But it's an earnest, heartfelt hot mess with impeccable vibes and I love it very much. Games are so much more interesting when they're taking big swings, even if they maybe don't have the time or budget to perfectly back it up.

This game made me so sad, man. I kept hoping for it to find it's groove, but it legitimately just got worse and worse the more I played. What a disappointment. I'm so bummed.

"More or less OK" is exactly the kind of morale you want out of your workers. That's how the best stuff is made, by people beaten into compliance!

Metroid Prime 4 definitely feels like somebody tried to make a great Metroid game but their uncle occasionally stopped by and said "Hey, you know what'd be cool?" and for some reason they had to listen to him.
