Reposted by Steel CatBoghog @boghogstg.bsky.social · 15/09/2026A lot of discussions around methods for writing about games/crit/etc. kinda dance around the core topic which is taste. All that writing's just a means of delivery, u need the underlying taste for it to matter. Otherwise no matter how much u introspect, there's not gonna be anything to pull out 5686
Reposted by Steel CatBoghog @boghogstg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Everyone wants to claim arcade games for cred to prop up some random slop (no I dont just mean Wolverine, CAG/ARPG players do this constantly too), nobody wants to actually play them. And without extensive play what is the point? 0383
