Day 24 of Octobeni! Today's Kobeni has her celebrating Wide Girl Winter. I know it's still Fat Girl Fall, but still. #SantanaelArt #Octobeni #Kobeni #ChainsawMan

Even if you're not into sports, the way NBA Street Vol 2 builds this hyper-reality where Historic NBA Legends, modern stars, and custom street players come together to play on court is really compelling. Gameplay also rules, but the atmosphere is unique and shows what sports games should be.

I do really love a lot of things about Mina the Hollower... I'm even going to shell out for the plush. But I'm not sure if I want to finish the game? I took a break a few months ago--day one purchase--and I've yet to go back. It's not awful, just kind of boring? Is it just me?

Epic literally starting an announcement with "programming is hard" is so fucking funny man. Like if the guy who makes the sandwich randomly came to you and said "I can't do this no more"
