- I've spent quite a bit of time with Mewgenics over the past few weeks and it's pretty cool. There's a lot going on here. It's also a long game that I don't have fun playing for prolonged periods. My impressions:

- Dove back into Highguard's new mode over the weekend and really enjoyed it ... Unrelated, I have put about 8 hours into Deadlock since this mode came out.

- Reposted by Ryan GilliamI was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post. I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage. My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.
- Hey, this is very exciting! Please share if you know some writers! Please pitch if you'd like! And please support us if you can!

- I appreciate the world's dumbest people being able to say "Oh man, I think I was wrong when I voted for this administration. They're so bad they actually proved the catastrophizing leftists right lmao" But the signs were obviously there, dipshit. And now people are dead. So maybe shut the fuck up?

- This place (the one we live on) is fucked, part 2 ... but there is some comfort in cozier things

- An all-timer of a bad fucking January
- All of the casting choices have been totally serviceable so far. Mandy as Odin is fucking GOATED, and I will not be listening to any feedback that says otherwise.

- Really was pretty disappointed in this game a few years ago. But really enjoyed the version I’ve played over the last week!

- This is an absolutely head-ass take, and it swallows every other point he's trying to make. It's true that the point of criticism isn't and shouldn't be to "hurt" the people who make the art you're critiquing. And if that is ever your intent, you aren't doing good criticism ...

- Played a bit of Highguard yesterday. I had high hopes after the tutorial and the first few matches, but every loss was miserable, even when playing with a full stack of friends.

- I know it can be really fraught, because the internet is what it is, but getting devs out in front of people to talk about their game and why they’re passionate about it will always be the best kind of marketing you can do.

- Big Josh Allen fan, even as a Chiefs guy. Was really rooting for him since we’re not in the playoffs. But man, pretty hard to argue that my man Josh is in the same league as Pat at this point. He was the QB who needed to make magic happen on that possession, and he just didn’t.
- As someone with a minor in film studies, I feel qualified to say something pretentious to film people … Denying the quality of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is genuinely one of the most obnoxious things anyone who claims to have taste can ever say. Some of the greatest achievements in the medium.

- NEW PROJECT Very excited about this show. Episode 1 is out now and I think it turned out pretty well. Check it out!

- What an absolute waste
- Bird loss gave me no joy, even if I wanted it. But FUCK the Patriots.
- I mean no disrespect to the Bird lovers on the timeline, but: thank god
- The only good thing about the Chiefs being out of the playoffs this season is that I can actually root FOR the Bills this year.

- These fucking losers are just as rotten as the current administration, just in less damaging ways. We have to carve them out with the same degree of urgency. We cannot move forward with these cowards. Primary them. There is no room in the Democratic party for leaders who refuse to condemn fascism

- Finally reading Fellowship of the Ring (listening to the Serkis audio book) after being a lifelong LOTR fan, and several hours in I’m just kind of dumbfounded how good of a job they did adapting it to the screen.

- It's a really good game, but I did have a "nature is healing" moment when we got a very annoyed cancellation email over the holiday complaining that we didn't like the game enough
