Remember when everyone was playing Elden Ring at the same time and that was all anyone talked about online and we all shared secrets as we discovered them? That was the last time we were truly unified #SGDQ
I want a new Crash Bandicoot so bad. Few things fill me with white hot rage like the current state of video games
Every day I have to wash dishes and eat protein and care for a child and exist as a human and I am sick of it
Been watching speedruns for years and I still don’t know what the fuck “buffer a jump” means
