I loved both Ghost games, Tsushima and Yōtei both sold very well, and Sucker Punch is not a massive studio by AAA standards. Huge bummer.

Tried Wonder because we got a coupon and my first thought: theme park food. Too sweet, but generally palletable otherwise, seems easy to prepare and hard to fuck up even with a mistake. No risk and no reward. Could garner chain restaurant familiarity for frequent travelers.

Trying to figure out why Demon is really scratching an itch for me as far as TTRPG and I think combining the secret identity of other World of Darkness games and motivation to invest more in the mundane "Cover" is great. I love realistic and urban fantasy games and it's unique to spin both plates.

There is a podcast that I love, but dread starting every week and I simply cannot articulate why. It's not like it's heady, a tough subject, or a guilty pleasure, just a fun time.

News! During NYCC, It was revealed that Michael Dante DiMartino will be writing The Legend of Korra: The Long Game, a new trilogy of graphic novels from Dark Horse Books! Fans got their first look at the cover art. Get caught up on the series now: https://bit.ly/3VBCe31

My therapist: So who are you playing this roleplaying game with? Me, through mild vax reaction brain fog: [The premise of the role playing game culminating in explaining one other player character.]

Hadn't really considered PoGo's 10th anniversary. I will pop it open once every couple months now. But that's a third of Pokémon's existence. It seems to have become a durable pillar of the franchise.

Almost done with 2 Part 1 routes of Fortune's Weave and let myself to peek at the metacritic score. Funny that it's exactly the same as Three Houses because it has similar highs and lows, but tempered. Still kinda easy at launch, a little too much to do, but wonderful worldbuilding and characters.

And at least they papered over the most egregious sin of repeating the full first half of the game by funneling everyone into a shared story and making the first part different for everyone. Repeating paralogues still seems a little silly.

Well, with Gumshoes & Dragons ending I have space for a new actual play... that is mostly improv comedy. (I have a headier AP waiting in the wings for the season to be over so I can binge/understand it.)

I'm still plugging away at the new Fire Emblem while trying to make 3 albums stick in my head because I'm listening to Meg Stalter's CRAVE too.

Why is there new Slow Pulp and CRJ and Fire Emblem next week? 🫪
