@sombre: maybe he didn't want to do it? Wonder why that would be.

@contactlondon: they looked like they were different species.

@chrisflavin: I lost what little interest I had in it. They don't even get the characters right. King Shark just shooting people instead of eating them?!

@libb: I second both of these. Big time. Metal Arms is low key one of my favorites on the system and I think I bought it for ten bucks.

@ford_dent: just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

@youngshields: I don't know. That PUBG year was the first time I turned on GB GOTY discussions. It was so negative, and they spent most of the time trashing (better) games to get PUBG to the top in a decision that felt dated even while it happened. They had some amazing times with that game, but it felt like a mistake when it happened. I don't get why she can't criticize it? She was a fan of the site. The Tetris one was even worse because it felt like bland acceptance of a consensus pick in a year with some truly next level games. Abby got crap for saying that it was a boring choice (wonder why!) but she was absolutely right, and I think VB is allowed to question the PUBG pick, and, not for nothing, that's the year Abby was accused of ruining Giant Bomb and a million other horrid things. This feels a bit similar to me. People could have stood up to Jess on Immortality--she said as much on her Twitter!--but they didn't. It seems rich to me that she's the bad guy here for having strong (perhaps pre-judged) opinions on a site built by Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis, to say nothing of Brad freaking "I read people didn't like it on Twitter" Shoemaker. Those dudes went hard in the paint on everything. And picking PUBG over Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Nier: A (which I don't even like), Cuphead, HZD, well, the list goes on and on...I understand what you're saying about being respectful of the people who built the site, but I'm not sure why it's verboten to go after that. Apologies for rambling.

@wittynickname: do you post about anything else? I only see you when you’re mad at Jess being mad at Immortality.

@mellotronrules: I’ve been singing the praises of the Dicey Dungeons music to whoever will listen for years! It’s like every genre happening at the same time and I don’t know how she does it. The update is as good or better than the base game! Completely on another level.

@cozmicaztaway: they're not slave camps...they're "labor camps!" And you sell someone there as part of a quest and when you walk buy these Not Slave Camps, you watch the prisoners get beaten and stuff, but you can't intervene. Even though your main dude is all FREEDOM the whole time. Caveat: I only read about it and then watched YouTube videos, but, yeah, it's pretty nuts. I think at one point you say, like, "hey cool it" to a slaver or something, so you're good!

On the Besties podcast, Justin McElroy talked about going fishing with Blade, and that + plus this QL sold me on it.
