I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

As always, I have not taken enough pictures with friends on Game Awards night.
With that said, everyone needs to know what an absolute sweetheart @brittney.bsky.social is. She always knows the right things to say to raise your confidence and lift your spirits. A true friend in this industry.

Devil May Cry getting a Season 2 date only makes me think of how terrific Kevin Conroy was in that first season. RIP to one of the greats.

The biggest takeaway from my first peek at Control Resonant is that Remedy is rolling the dice harder than ever, going in a different direction even though the original overachieved so heavily.
Control Resonant appears to be an even bigger gamble for Remedy than FBC: Firebreak

Control's sequel was revealed at The Game Awards and it should be a safe bet for Remedy, except that the studio is making it notably different than the original.

Ok, very clearly, nobody's taking this Street Fighter movie seriously and that's very much for the best. I cannot wait.

One area where DC eclipses Marvel: I don't recognize THIS version of Supergirl. So today's teaser ends with, "Oh, go read this comic." Cool! Now I know where to go to learn more. That's great! Need more of that!

A new puzzle game shadowdropped at Day of the Devs. Even with my schedule being what it is this week, yeah, I made time to review it and I'm glad I did.
