- Crazy to see a post and think "I know that dog"
- Please. I'm begging for one reputable outlet to review Detective Instinct before the end of the year for fantasy critic.

- W. Fantastic game.
- Maybe one of my favorite pods of all time? I love this game.
- Sometimes I have to make some tough realizations on the show, this was one of them (Demon Tides is still gas though 🔥)

- I spent a week moving my site over to Substack, but now that it's done, I can start sharing my thoughts about some of the most interesting things I saw at PAX. Let's start with No Stone Unturned from @wisemonkeyltd.bsky.social! www.cantpause.com/p/no-stone-u...
- I jumped on Octopath Traveller 0 and Dragon Quest HD-2D Remake at PAX. I break down my thoughts in the short(ish) ep below!

- Crazy hand drawn artwork combined with fun and varied combat abilities made this one a standout last weekend. Apparently the have a 2 (yes TWO) hour demo up right now for people interested. store.steampowered.com/app/1446900/...
- This might be one of the greatest weeks of my life. - Short work week - PAX West wrap up - Silksong launch - NFL Regular season start - New JJK season 3 trailer - Blue Prince merch What generational disaster is coming my way to balance all of this out?
- Fastest $150 impulse buy I've ever made
- I got the pleasure of going into this demo blind. Be like me. It was unexpected to say the least. These dudes with the spinny hats are so creative. store.steampowered.com/app/2776770/...
- This game had me smiling the whole time I had the controller. Can't wait for this one next year store.steampowered.com/app/2453640/...
- One of our four games of show. Go wishlist Terrible Lizards! store.steampowered.com/app/2920220/...
- Man I love black people (and @nolanerdcast.bsky.social) #PAXWest

- I'll say this every year: there are many showcases that happen every year that don't charge nearly as much (or anything!). Many are niche and get a fraction of the views. They also don't get coverage on many of the sites that do this yearly dunk on the price of Geoff's marketing. 🤷🏿♂️
- I've just been sitting here in silence for the past 20 minutes. My watch has ended.

- Catching the boom mic in the shot and still deciding to keep it in the edit is psychotic. Parks & Rec ass video 😭
- It's very refreshing to not hear people feel the need to talk about video game topics in absolute extremes. Loved hearing @benstarr.bsky.social's opinions (and ability to understand other people's perspectives) on Games Daily today.
