Interesting how much information people need to ‘verify’ to believe women.

I sometimes forget I exist in a queer bubble, and my reference points are very different to people outside of that. When there’s any crossover, I’m like oh, cool, nice, welcome to my brain.

Tristan's review hits the nail on the head that Silent Hill: Townfall "tackles previously unexplored shades of evil like corporate greed and environmental mismanagement that help to make it feel like a refreshingly new twist." www.ign.com/articles/sil...

Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm.

I reviewed Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and I’m happy to say it’s quite an amazing and ambitious tactical experience. Over a hundred hours spent and I still have so much more to see in its wonderfully diverse story paths.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Sweeney Todd is one of my favourite musicals, so I went to Birmingham to see it yesterday. I need London to get it together. It was so good and I haven’t felt like that about anything on the west end besides Oh, Mary! for ages.

That was a very satisfying SGF for me. I could’ve stopped watching after the Code Veronica reveal and been content, but it was packed with games I’m excited about. More Cuphead, Alien Isolation: 2, 1666 Amsterdam, Saw: Genesis, Wilds expansion, Wolf Among Us 2… good shit.

So proud of my team's work on Crimson Desert. This game has been a nightmare to cover. They keep changing stuff literally every other hour, and it's caused my team to have to go back and fully re-edit completely finished videos. Very grateful for the work these folks had to put up with lol.
