got a lot of feedback (mostly private) about a piece I read at the end of this podcast and the degree to which my central claim has been proven correct is staggering in the face of some unquestioned PR masquerading as journalism today.

as always, hope it's worth it.

The CRITICAL ERROR podcast takes aim at the phrase "not for me," this week!

An extended discussion on the point of criticism, your imagined audience member, and how meaning is sussed out from any text.

I don't care about objectivity and have never once advocated for reviewers being "objective" lol

"it is impossible to have more than one.."

"It is possible to have no more than one..."

Going with the second just seems insane to me lol

Critical Error will not have a review of Pokemon Legends Z-A today as we have been blacklisted from the pre-release media list ever since The Charizard Incident

It's interesting to me that your main points of criticism are

1. I am arguing that criticism is exacting rather than open to whatever anyone wants it to be and

2. something about my tone.

i kinda dig this. 12 characters, no fuss. No huge expectations.

If they can launch at a competitive price point that would be huge
