I will use this opportunity to sing the praises of HiFi Rush, because that original game deserved so much better than it got. Probably would have gotten it as an indie game too.

In Australia, we’d call it the Bradbury strategy, named after a speed skater who won a gold medal when the 4 or so skaters in front of him fell over on the final lap. Keep doing your thing and wait for everyone else to fuck up.

I got back on the Warframe wagon with the Whispers in the Walls update. After a long break, I’m impressed how much better it is, and it’s hooks are firmly back in my brain. The new location and the throat chanting type soundtrack from the semi-hidden boss regularly flash into my brain at awkward times.

I love these word cloud things, because you can see the shitposts float to the top as the class gets in on the action. A palaeontology class once did one asking why we thought life began moving from water to land, and we all just watched the word Craig get bigger and bigger. Fucking Craig, this is all his fault.

Abigail Thorns video on the subject briefly yet beautifully dunked on the idea that taking away cars is taking away “freedom”, since you need a government issued photo ID to operate them, registration and strict rules to use them on the roads, and new cars are full of computers monitoring you and sendingndata to insurance companies. To quote directly, “you know what doesn’t do any of that? Fucking feet!”

Yikes. I got it through Game Pass and still wanted my money back

I liked that Mike Patton voiced both the Darkness and also the Anger Sphere from Portal. Horrifying mass of snakes, blades and tentacles, then a harmless orb.
