If you're in my GP's office any time soon, prepare yourself for what many are calling the greatest mnemonic of all time. Come for E and P, but sit down and clap for I.

A screen in my GP's office advertising a mnemonic of signs to spot SEPSIS.

S slurred speech of confusion
E extreme shivering or muscle pain
P passing no urine all day
S severe breathlessness
I ot feels like you are going to die
S skin mottled or discoloured

Hello id like to spend all at once please

4 panel comic.

Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 2: the pink blob in suit hands forg a dollar bill. He says “here is your pay”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

every single nintendo direct is written like its advertising the first video game ever made. in this “game of strategy” you can choose to attack with swords [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a sword] or with spells [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a spell]

Admittedly, I've never really liked the MCU. But at the very least, in lead up to Endgame, it was exciting to see whether or not they'd stick the landing for a decade of movies. Now, it really feels like Disney quietly saying "we would love to make a bajillion dollars again, so here's another one."

I've got some review season work lined up, but the BIG one I'm really, really trying to find somewhere early - is a review assignment for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. I'm not hesitant to call myself one of the biggest tactical RPG experts out there, and I especially have a lot of context for FE.

I've been through the 5 stages of grief with all the news about the industry lately and I'm calmly calling it quits. I'll still be around playing physical media but when even Nintendo backs out I'll sit back and enjoy what 40+ years of talented people have already made youtu.be/Xq3aO9CNtlg

My parents were low income so I often just browsed game shops as a kid. Sometimes mum let me get a game. It'd cost her whole day's wage and a chunk of our rent. Dad once told me to check under the car seat and Pokemon Red was there in a bag. Ownership isn't the only thing we lose with physical media

Sony shutting down the PS3 and Vita digital stores isn’t surprising, but it really does officially make that era a lost generation. I’m sure PS3 emulation will improve over time (and the Vita is surprisingly easy to *insert 3DS meme) but it’s such a bummer those games are increasingly lost to time.

Just dire isnt it No Xbox acquisition has made sense. The many many layoffs show they're not buying for talent and these studios don't own catalogs of future proof IP. What was the reason to buy Compulsion, Double Fine or Ninja Theory?

I’m gonna be real. Believing that older video games require constant remakes in order to be enjoyed in the modern day is the same school of thought as needing a live action remake of an animated film in order to watch it. It’s just completely pointless most of the time.
