I am interested in this not because of any particular attachment to the franchise, but because Tomb Raider has been around for so long it’s an interesting mirror.
2013 Trilogy as both a rejoinder to Uncharted and an attempt to humanize the character that then turned her into the fucking Predator.

One of the underrated things that makes Portal 1 so good is how grungy it is. Running on a branch of Source that was already a little outdated when it came out makes the test rooms feel under cleaned, and the rusting backrooms that much more filthy. Contrast with how shiny everything is in Portal 2.

Nando winning by two (2!) points! Change one thing in 20 or so races and the entire championship looks different.
Also Abu Dhabi is alright as far as the Arabian peninsula tracks go, but I will die on the hill that the season should start in Melbourne and end in Interlagos.

Breath of the Wild is the Ubisoft formula not done particularly well, down to the fuckass towers that unlock the map.
Across two Zelda’s, Mario Kart (and now Prime 4) Nintendo have never actually done reward design correctly, making empty ass worlds without progression.
BOTW Mario will kill me.

Every city in America is actually controlled by the guy who owns 17 Car Dealerships, your local ambulance chasing law firm, and an actual food/bev cabal. [ding]

insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.
Well UH

My new favorite thing at airports is a dog that is very clearly not a service dog and just has a Temu harness + patch slapped on.
Truly advanced deception. no one will notice them smelling and barking at everything.

Clanker is a decent enough pejorative, but I feel bad for fictional robots and my mutuals who are robot fuckers.
They didn’t want this hellscape, they wanted to fuck a Gundam or at the very least 2B.

It’s all fun and games talking Thanksgiving food like “I prefer ham“ or pie discourse; even haram takes like “not liking mashed potatoes” because you’re wack and never had proper Irish family ancestral knowledge.
That’s allowed until you come for the festive food tube. The cran tube is sacred.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

ff17 has to have a cool woman with a gun as the protagonist again its been too long. for like a decade if you bought a final fantasy game there was a 50% chance it starred a cool woman with a gun. but square abandoned the true path

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Valve are not announcing a price for Steam Machine because they are hoping for an anti tariff ruling from the Supreme Court, or at worst more tariffs between price announce and availability.
Will they get it? Will prices actually go down? Will they hit the promised land of Sub 700USD? Probably not.
