I think letterboxd really is the best metric these days. Sneakers has a 3.5 on there, which is very solid

I interned at a high school with a majority 1st generation immigrant population this year, and it was devastating seeing all this happen while these kids so proudly represented their native countries on the school’s world culture day, knowing any of their families could be targeted

I completely agree. A lot of people are underrating how competitive it can get. The group I play with is very good at the game, and it’s a ton of fun clashing with each other. I think Mario Kart World has a low skill floor but a high skill ceiling, which is perfect for casuals and competitive

All made by a team of two brothers!! They’re incredible. Their other game Islets is one of my favorite Metroidvanias

Oh no I’m sorry, just booted it up to check. You can only change the routes in VS, which is restricted to normal racing. No knockout tour variations ☹️
You’re right that they absolutely need to add that

Wait but can’t you choose the direction you travel in from race to race in VS mode? I was under the impression you could use that variety of connections they give you to customize

Yeah, I mean it’s a little cheesy but hey whatever gets them to the point where they’re being critical of the fascist regime

The wraparound is so good! These cases would have been such a home run without those giant red borders on the front

Congrats!! So glad to see channels giving honest coverage of Switch 2 stuff succeeding amidst the popularity of so much rage bait and disingenuousness

Yeah I had to invest in dbrand’s killswitch, and while it is expensive their stuff is usually great quality

I think the most underrated strength of the steam deck is how ergonomic it is compared to the Switch. I have large hands and a ton of problems with them, and even the Switch 2 kills them. Need accessories that make it more comfortable in order to regularly use it, whereas with steam deck I feel fine

They’re still getting away with it dawg, they just launched the best selling console of all time

The Nintendo hate has reached an absurd degree.
We live in a society where we’re often forced to buy from completely unethical companies like Amazon, and people are pearl clutching over fans enjoying video games from a brand because it raised its prices alongside the rest of the industry

You have to have an NSO expansion subscription and then it unlocks that button

Yeah I think there’s a 99% chance this is true. There’s no other explanation for why they would randomly only include one outfit for DK, who just got the whole new look, and omit past characters like Diddy

Mhm that’s what’s so difficult. Because they included it and it’s so lackluster, it ironically takes points off when the game might score higher if it was completely omitted. Do you judge the quality of all the content offered or stick to the core game and just consider that stuff extra?

It’s so tough. I would have given Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a 10. It was incredible and packed with content. This game is even better in my opinion, but it offers an underdeveloped open world and inconsistent unlocks. It’s a strange position to say MK World is the best MK but not give it the highest score

When metaphor came out I was like oh my god they’ve done it. And then they hit me with like a 30 day period of complete inactivity and I knew it was over for me. Still watched a full play through and absolutely loved it, but could not do it myself

Legitimately cannot believe we’re in a position where we’re likely to reelect him. I have relatives that are voting for him—they say “he may be a terrible person, but he would make a great mayor.” Liberals are just as ready to use the same rhetoric republicans do to absolve someone of sexual assault

Anyone that can’t laugh at the platform for the overly sensitive atmosphere it fosters is probably guilty of contributing to it

I’m actually so glad I replayed 1 and 2 before starting 3 and 4, because it’s so nice to see the evolution of this game between chapters. I didn’t think it could possibly top Undertale for me, but I think it might have already and I haven’t even started 3. Its characters are just so lovable

Excellent review! It’s tragically ironic that had they just omitted the underdeveloped open world entirely, Mario Kart World would probably have reviewed even better because its core gameplay is so fantastic

Hahah ok yes fair. I often cut high school Rory more slack because I appreciate that part of the show much more, but a lot of her terrible decision making was definitely still there

Are we talking high school Rory or college Rory? High school Rory will work diligently to find you, college Rory would get distracted, follow a random plot line, and forget to look entirely
