Both of these games are excellent and I'd highly recommend them if you like mystery deduction games!

Does anyone have an Oura Ring that can convince me I ought to keep it? After using mine for three weeks, I'm starting to get concerned that it might just be reading me my horoscope?

I forgot I deleted my Twitter account, went back over to check something, saw someone else wearing the skin of my old handle and ... well that's a weird feeling.
It's a very Damon Lindelof Thing™ to have episodes that completely recontextualize earlier parts of the series, and I love it every time. Glad to see the trend continuing in Lanterns.
The Watchmen show on HBO was so effing good, and I feel like it should be better regarded than it is. They took one of the greatest literary works of all time and made an equally momentous sequel in the form of a show, and we should talk about that more.
Am suddenly in the very weird position of wondering if I can opt out of Witcher 3 Remastered until I've finished Blood & Wine 😬
In 100+ hours of playing The Witcher 3, this is the single best decision I've made
Canonically now, during that emotional moment in Wrath of Khan, Spock is thinking, "This is just like that time when Pike was a puppet".

It drives me crazy that unsubscribe forms pretend like this is necessary. Like it's not just a bit that could be changed in microseconds on their server.
Sure, yes, absolutely! That's a blessing. But it's also so painful that we're all forced to endure this from algorithmic media every single time.

Thank you so, so much to the kind folks who keep this little adventure into board games pottering along every year. You’re the absolute best. The cats pajamas! youtu.be/ONNPKM5CB1s

Starting to notice my memory slipping in my 40s is super scary, but on the plus side, one day I'll be able to play The Outer Wilds again
What a great week of video games, everyone. Congratulations on all of the video games. Video games are back and video games never left. September though. Video games!
Insomniac’s Wolverine is some much needed representation for people with a bit too much arm hair.
