I've 'crunched' a lot over the years on reviews, but I'm my own boss and I generally do it for things I'd be playing non-stop anyways.

I have been lucky, though having 2 days for SILENT HILL f wasn't the most fun way to play it. (no one's fault, didn't know the PR company until almost-embargo)

Was it about a steam next press demo, because the 250 emails I got yesterday about SteamNex fest demos all ended up looking like that to me as my mind slowly broke

It is amazing how console war zealous and toxic Resetera has become. That's saying a lot because that place sucked at the best of times. The moderation there has always encouraged it, though.

I swear I've gotten 200+ emails about it and I've started just auto sorting them into a "maybe I'll read this one day" folder

Judero might be one of the 'worst' games I've played that had an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

I must be up around 100 emails in the past week or so about Steam Next Fest demos. Please, for the love of god, I can't take any more.

"I wait until every game I want is at least 80% off on Steam and I refuse to use subscriptions because I support the devs!" types drive me crazy.

As a website where WordPress defaults to UK times, daylight savings weeks where I'm not in sync is a f'ing nightmare. I stop scheduling and only manually publish things.

130% tariffs on China, eh? I can't wait for my $1500 Series X, $1100 Switch 2, and $1800 PS5 Pro in a few months!

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

This week's column:

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

technically it's one from the employee themselves, just to the public instead of a reporter

Cool cool, more tariffs against China, among other things. Can't wait for my grocery bill to continue towards doubling as every electronic on earth becomes more and more expensive. winning!

Big sites should do actual journalism instead of just regurgitating single-source leaks all the time.

There is no one in gaming that can afford to buy those studios/IP for what Xbox is worth. They are unfathomably large, it's the same as asking Sony for PlayStation, even in parts it's unreasonable.

They have over 20k employees, you really want a majority of them fired?
