man if you're a musician/author/developer and you spend years producing an album/book/game it'd be a shame to then append cover art that screams "hey, I didn't put any effort into this thing I made!", putting on the same level as a flyer for Ladies' Wrasslin' night at the redneck bar

This is my most Boomer take, but I'm not surprised by the iced-coffee discourse. Have you seen the size of these Stanley Cups? They are so big I can't tell if the person is really, really, really chronically thirsty or just incredibly skilled at ice hockey.

I'm not far into Silent Hill Townfall but I hope they embrace the fact that if you make a Silent Hill game you have to know that I am going to be looking in every square inch of every level, so start making your in-world signage early.

I know yall like scary stories, so I should tell you that I was just at the petrol station wearing Birkenstocks and felt… a little… tickle. Look down and there gigantic crunchy spider on my foot. It‘s over now but I can’t shake it.

Being an adult has its drawbacks but at least I can get a second Tamagotchi and no one can stop me. when they were trendy the first time my parents wouldn’t get me one so I had to wait for when it was on clearance at Big Lots. Then it died in the middle of an REM concert. the most 90s story ever.

I play all these simulator games that use the same grocery asset packs, so I like to think they're all in the same universe. This supermarket has to be run efficiently but also sometimes it explodes and all the contents need to be organized. There is only one person for the job. Spoiler- it's me!

I think I fight organization games because I fear I will just guilt myself about the "real" work I could be doing by playing them, but Konbini Cleanup scratches alllll the itches and also isn't full of AI like the library game I bought and am still sorta mad about.
