Shoutout to the critics who don't fully jive with OoT or GTA6, score them accordingly, and then get brigaded by fans claiming they're paid shills or bad at their job or whatever because they gave the hotness, like, an 8/10. May your Patreons be full and may your bosses give you hazard pay bonuses. 🫡

Ah beans, I just watched Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma and essentially had a horny existential crisis over it, and now you're telling me the sequel to the last game that gave me a horny existential crisis is coming out next week? Hell of a month, November is...😅

Hey everyone! #CoffeeBuns has a release date!! November 13th!! Three years of buns, sweat, and tears finally paying off! If you're able to help us out by wishlisting it before release, that'd be super appreciated! The sequel to #MiceTea is upon us! store.steampowered.com/app/3709320/...

HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

If you're in the States, remember to go vote! And if you have to wait in line (or if you generally have some free time and want to read something that I at least think is engaging), why not have a gander at me getting enthusiastically verbose about an exceptionally unsettling little horror game?

Had to crunch a bit towards the end, but I did it! I got a Halloween review out on time! And I know I say this a decent amount, but I'm legitimately really proud of how this one turned out. Enjoy, and happy Halloween! 🎃 olivigarden.ca/2026/10/31/r... #gamereview #videogames

I would love to be proven wrong, but I feel like a lot of video game soundtracks tend not to use recognizable leitmotifs that repeat throughout the score, and as someone who loves hearing a core theme get reinterpreted and iterated on to give a musical throughline to a story, it's a real shame.

PSA for anyone playing Reanimal: I started it on PS5 tonight, and one of the early areas has a brief but gnarly lighting big that causes a bunch of flickering. Less pronounced here, but on my TV it was really rough to look at, even as someone without photosensitivity. @tarsierstudios.bsky.social

The Academy of Eating Lunch regrets to announce that we must rescind the Actually Ate Lunch Today Award, only just given to Stella Sacco, as it has come to our attention that 3 PM is “a little late to eat lunch,” especially for “someone who works from home and could eat lunch in a timely manner”

I took aim at Magic back when I reviewed Zoominoes, and now it's time to prod at another sacred cow: chess! Pawnbarian is kinda chess, but also its own thing, and that's more than enough to keep me happily abstaining from its ancient ancestor. olivigarden.ca/2026/09/29/p... #gamereview #indiegame

Pawnbarian Review

Chess is hundreds (and hundreds) of years old, and considered an unimpeachable classic by many. But as far as I’m concerned, it’s just been impeached.
