If this is a legit stacked bar chart, then the true OP has some serious dedication to the bit. Mad respect.

Gotta make that line go up TODAY
Making it go up tomorrow is the next guy’s problem
This was a surprise to me, too. I naturally assumed the author was referencing Phantom Liberty because, y’know… it’s fucking excellent.
I grabbed Cursed to Golf on sale and I’m a little addicted. I’m not usually into golf games but I am into roguelikes. Took me three attempts to get my first win and now I’m going back for better scores.
Totally recommended, especially at the current price of like $6.
Still playing Balatro, though I’m feeling stuck on the 6th (purple) stakes. I like the variety that stems from the Erratic deck and that might be holding me back.
What a shit measure. A key idea is to fail fast and fail often, as this leads to faster growth through more frequent (re)assessment.
SW companies only care about profit. If failure rate is 268% higher but profit is simultaneously 10% higher, then Agile is the better choice.

I was pumped for this but it’s a buggy mess. Multiple breaking bugs and even a hard crash in only the first couple of hours. I hope they toss us a performance patch soon.
Starfield can’t be fixed. The game’s issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they’d have to effective make a whole new game.
I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.
What? Where are you seeing this issue?
I grabbed a Panasonic UHD player and it’s been a dream. Zero ads, HDMI control so I can use the same remote that works with my TV and receiver, it has full Atmos and Dolby Vision support so the quality is amazing… truly the whole package. And it’s available everywhere you’d expect.
A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.
Yikes. Local co-op is basically required for a TMNT game to be successful.
Sooooo… Ultraviolet?
Physical media FTW once again.
That said, I still feel bad for the people who got fucked over here. There are a lot of options Sony could have pursued in order to do right by their customers, but instead Sony chose to be shit bags about it.
Great review. This echoes my feelings as well.
Loop Hero feels like it’s on the precipice of being good, but the path to success with the gameplay loop is pretty hard to sus out. You do stuff, and it seems like you’re getting the pieces needed to progress, but then the game doesn’t really change at all.
Agreed that it’s fun in bursts. Worth playing for 10-20 min every few days. This isn’t like Enter the Gungeon or Slay the Spire, where you feel like you always need just one more run.
The absolute worst is when you want to go home and play video games, but you only have time to do the bare minimum chores required for continued existence and then sleep.
Metroid Prime Remastered
I’m pretty happy to be playing through this again, though even the “modern” control options leave a bit to be desired. It also sucks that you can’t start on hard mode - you have to beat the game on normal to unlock it. Anyways, that makes it a pretty chill experience through a super awesome world design.
Backlog isn’t sexy. Management wants sexy. Nobody’s boss wants to hear about how the DB schema was improved - they want to see some new, flashy widget.
And the whole product line suffers because of it.
