I really don't get why no other markets have picked them up! so good!

I asked Henry Cooke to ask Rob salmond whether he'd apologise. Henry asked. Rob said, effectively "I'm sorry the right misused my completely non racist work to be racist".

also enjoyed monster train 2 and battle suit aces as two card battlers that are both very different but also both very different from the slay the spire clone median in the subgenre.

I think outer worlds 2 is very good if not quite excellent - most of the criticism wants it to be a game it's not trying to be. And as per usual with my falcom fandom (I know you find the amount of cut scenes irritating, heh) the trails in the sky remake is excellent.

yes! Very pleasant surprise. and a fair bit though not all of the jank ironed out post release.

Been an odd year for me in games. Not played that many 2025 releases that really grabbed me (does Hades 2 count? Given I've been playing it for 2 years already) & in the end I disliked a lot I'd been looking forward to (Silksong (which I admire but don't enjoy); Demonschool).

I didn't realise you were a clair obscur dissenter! Not my favourite game of the year but I did think it was very good.

it does, I think, leave the decision slightly vulnerable. Out and out error of fact is difficult to argue, but you can have quite some success if there's no plausible evidentiary basis for the decision.

Page 27, a half-sentence reads "In addition, personnel expenses incurred by Health New Zealand were $0.5 billion lower than forecast..." It doesn't even rate its own sentence! 😠

Is there a linkable source available for this? Feels like a genuine scandal.

if you're not constantly worrying about home invasion, are you really rich?

It is so stupid (complimentary).
