I know this isn’t the Pokemon news of the day but man, this game was/is so slept on www.ign.com/articles/pok...
The other student then resumed and passed her test and then I passed mine. The last thing Mr. Walker said to me, without a single hint of irony or jest, was “hey, just watch the speed, okay?” My jaw dropped, indignant, as he drove away. I wonder how that odd man is doing.
Still in the car, I explained the situation to Mr. Walker. Another student was taking her test and I was waiting in the backseat. He looked back and said, “get in the drivers seat. And gun it to the DMV.” I probably went at least 20 mph over the speed limit, but we got to the DMV in time.
I had my driver’s ed course with my best friend. She took her final test first, passed, and went directly to the DMV for her license. When she got there, she realized Mr. Walker forgot to sign her test. The DMV closed in an hour and then would be closed for the weekend. She was devastated.
Mr. Walker would usually fall asleep if you had him for an earlier slot. He always made everyone stop at 7/11 so he could get a Milky Way. One summer, there was a rumor that he died. When he walked through the high school the first day of the year, everyone thought they saw a ghost. He was unfazed.
“You rent, how did you paint?!” I painted. I simply did it.
As a renter for the past 13 years, I just have to say: the security deposit is the fee you pay to decorate
Landlord Laura why would you do this to me
A man crying
Do you know the pain of finding the absolute perfect beach apartment, one that ticks every box, is on the cutest street with the perfect layout and so much natural light… and then the landlord calls you, after hyping it up ALL DAY, to say, “oh sorry I already approved someone”

What a moment.
A little off but close enough
Emerging from post-Sundance hibernation to declare: I'm on the lookout for a new full-time job. Seeking Chicago-based or remote editing and writing opportunities—don't have to be in the field; I'm extremely open to copywriting, technical writing, marketing stuff, etc. Email and portfolio in profile.
And what if Lady Gaga showed up during the Super Bowl halftime show to perform underrated “Born This Way” banger “Americano”? What THEN?
Oh fully. I am BEGGING for a little more imagination!!

Something about the “reveal” feels as icky as the project itself? Just clearly not thought-through and feels like HBO and Hasbro… don’t respect what they’re working with?
I am no longer in entertainment media. I am no longer in games media. None of this has any bearing on my day to day anymore. None of this, honestly, really matters. That said…
Why do you drop news of a Baldur’s Gate 3 HBO show after work hours on a Thursday on DEADLINE?!
YESSSSS I’m genuinely so excited to read this
Good morning!
February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

My great nerd shame is that I’ve never done a Star Trek, but I’ve gotta say, I’m really enjoying this Starfleet Academy
(Love you forever and you DID deserve defending from that bullshit)
The luxury of being dragged for your bad takes and not… everything else 🫠 The luxury! I yearn to be judged for my shitty opinions!
I like the liquid glass iOS update 😔
I am an unabashed Christopher Nolan stan, but I do think it would be really funny if The Odyssey just sucks
Ideally I will drag her into being my coworker at a third place, but if you’re smart, you will beat me to it 🤔
Fun fact: I first worked with Alyssa at Variety, and she was so good that when I left for IGN I said “damn, how do I get Alyssa over here too?” So I can personally vouch for how adaptable, talented and creative she is and SO fun to work with. The STRONGEST of recommendations
What an absolutely perfect sport
A text exchange that says “So I think awhile ago you told me I had to watch The Substance. I’m just now watching it but I took an edible not knowing what this was gunna be, sos.” The recipient responds “ALYSSA NOOOOO”
Thoughts and prayers to my sister, oh my god
