All the people who are anti-Chadley or want to mute Chadley, I have one question: If Chadley disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through Final Fantasy VII without him or the Chadley menu? Imagine Chadley was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give him up?

Big Walk is a great game because it perfectly recreated that feeling of being in a large friend group IRL where certain people just walk ahead and take off without saying anything and then there are the stragglers who move at a slower pace who are like, "Why do they always do this?"

Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

Proud to say I'm joining the pool of Mock Reviewers at Pad and Pixel. I've been a mock reviewer for the past six years, with experience writing scored reviews as a freelancer for Polygon. Looking forward to the oportunity to be involved in more Mock Review work going forward.

That last bit is what I'm proudest of. The business of games journalism spent the past half-decade laying off many of the people who built its value and quality. Building a place where that talent gets paid what it's worth is the part of this I care about most. padandpixel.com/mock-reviews/

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.
