Platinum trophy equivalent coming to Xbox Achievements later this year
If u don’t have real life friends u should try it. They r ppl u sorta like socialize with. U can do an activity or eat food or just be in each others presence. It’s kinda freeform in that way. Or I guess u can keep getting mad at computer ppl instead. Whatever u want
I don't really understand the logic of calling Beast of Reincarnation a Soulslike. You might as well call it a roguelike because sometimes you die.

Blogged about my favorite Big Walk puzzle and how it distilled the game's thesis into a single 5-minute puzzle. Small spoilers for this puzzle!

A third of the country thinks this is genius. Please think on that.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

One time I said “Imran” to someone and he said “Ohhh I loved that show” and I still to this day have no idea what he was talking about.

Trust me when I say you need to watch this until the end.
nintendo wants to make (very young) kids video content, but they also have incredibly strict brand guidelines, so you get gems like this

Beast of Reincarnation's story absolutely mistakes dreariness for depth. I genuinely cannot see finishing this game and going "Yeah, that story was really good" without also asking "By what bar?"
Beast of Reincarnation is an impressive first attempt in some ways, but a huge tumble down the hill in most others. The end result is a mixed, messy package with some virtues. Our review: www.restart.run/articles/bea...
I reviewed Beast of Reincarnation. I struggled on this one between a lower score and what I ultimately gave it. I ended up going higher because it does have some good spots, but they're really spoiled by all the bad. www.restart.run/articles/bea...
