So far the only diet I’ve messed up is my own.

I see some of people say "We don't need physical games, we need better consumer rights for digital products" We need both! One should not have to come at the cost of another.

ArenaNet has removed the ability to download and play the mobile version of Guild Wars Reforged on macOS. I understand that wasn't something they sought to support, but man... I was looking forward to this.

The artwork looks good, but the game's presentation feels a bit bland. I don't understand this, deckbuilders are popular but the TCG market feels very saturated so this feels like "we'll use the GW brand to advertise a so-so game" Honestly missed chance to make a Polymock game

Oh I bought this game in October 2013. Honestly I'll give it a shot once Squadron 42 has released. Is there even a new player onboarding right now?

Alpha after over a decade is diabolical. I'm happy there's at least a shape of a game now. I'm typically against playing early access games because I tend to burn out before launch but that might be the only way I get to try Star Citizen again at this point...

I was browsing through some old articles I had written during my time as a writer. (One of) My first article(s) was a preview of Star Citizen. I’m not even sure what the game’s current state is in 2026. Can you meaningfully play this game or is it still unconnected systems?

I've been thinking about what I want from the Guild Wars announcement and whatever it is I hope it has a narrative focus if they're going to tackle -the- guild wars. But I also don't really want an MMO from them if its a prequel.

Every time I see more of Marathon I’m more and more tempted to buy it. Such a shame it doesn’t run on Steam Deck or Mac (via Wine/Windows VM) because I won’t have access to my windows computer for a while and I’m just not home that often. Anyway I’m buying it the second I get home this weekend.

Is this an AI driven OS or an OS for AI agents? I cannot in any way imagine myself using an OS developed by Palantir or Nvidia. I'd stop using computers before I allow that to happen.

There’s fun to be had as well. But it it’s definitely for the type of person who can shrug off what people say. I’ve had people tell me I’m the worst mod and the best mod in the same thread. And neither of those should evoke anything.

It feels like I can’t be trusted to see the value without being told explicitly why it is so. Don’t decide for me what is important to me, don’t deny me my own POV. But it also feels like lazy writing. You’re giving me a narrative, do your best to be a storyteller. Even if it is fact reporting.

There is something about the phrase “why it matters” that just gets me riled up.
