Whenever I consider reading the news tonight, I watch a Sigrid video instead. It's working great so far.

Dearest Rocket League:
I know I'm not a brilliant player or anything, but I have played for over 115 hours. Matchmaking me with 5 rookies was novel, but I'm not sure it was wise.
guess what: Lumines is still realllllllly fucking good.
I swear the Idle Thumbs guys talked about playing Superflight and listening to some Tycho-like music last year. But I can't find it.
Anyhow, I just bought Superflight in the Steam sale and put on some Tycho and by God it is fantastic. What a game. What a perfect sense of flight. It's currently $1.50!
The thing that is currently fascinating me: Life is Strange: BtS runs in Unity, while the original game was Unreal 3. They managed to really keep the style of the games intact between the two, and if anything I think some of the animation and lighting in the more recent game is better. I'm surprised this was possible even through an engine switch and two different small developers.
Ok. Clearly Before the Storm is the next thing I need to play. Written on the schedule in pen.
I think have reached the point of "literally everything about Steam sucks except the download speeds". It's the year 2018, if I put an item in my cart on the PC why is it not in the cart on the phone app?

Old Man's Journey... the art was charming, but the puzzle solving felt a bit bare and the story was pretty pat. It was OK.
Will do a spoiler comment with CW on this post.
Also in 2013 I thought Prince superior to Beyonce. Not sure now. But ask me again in another 5 years.
Oh hey, I was going through ancient MF threads and I just remembered the day I learned that the WGBH logo used to scare the shit out of people.
was welcoming that is.
I feel like everyone who has ever had an issue with Metafilter thinks the site "has become hostile/snarky/cynical over the past few years" regardless of the actual tone of the site at the time. I'm not sure why this is. The site was hostile as fuck when I joined it in 2004. There was a dude who used to start shit with me just because he was mad at the state I lived in.
I think people are right about the site being unwelcoming, but I can't find this era when it was.
Someone named Travis wrote into crate and crowbar with a description of multiplayer game trajectory so good I'm going to copy it down here:
-"Chaotic equality at release as everyone finds their footing, followed by a meta emerging and a distillation of the player base. A patch occasionally rustles the meta, but equilibrium returns. Obsessive sixteen year olds rule the roost. Eventually, death."
As a middle aged white guy, I can't wear a snapback hat, right?
Nothing says Father's Day like having to cancel your credit card because some idiot used it to buy a TV in Minnesota.
Thank God, this shit was getting expensive
I'm still playing Yoku's Island Express. It's so much better than anyone could have expected. An extremely solid non-violent Metroidvania/Pinball(?!?) game with a perfectly realized whimsical tone, all on a carefree island full of secrets and sidequests. It's almost certain to be a top ten of the year game for me.
Pete Hines is really committed to this whole "fuck nazis" thing. Loving it.
