Counterpoint: In every subsequent playthrough, there must be allotted lengthy, unskippable scenes to showcase Leon's Custom Porche Cayenne Turbo.

An excerpt of my guide for Resident Evil Requiem guide on IGN where I include the passages:
"Pulling up in his Custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, Leon has found the Chronic Care Center...."
"Just as Leon starts to get bored and check his Hamilton Limited Edition Khaki Auto Chrono Watch..."

I'd just like people to know that I take our Resident Evil Requiem guide incredibly seriously.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Leon holds a photo of the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center's doctor staff, with the towering Victor Gideon in the middle who raises like 500 red flags.

Imagining someone in the Resident Evil universe surviving one of its many bioterrorism catastrophes, getting a job at the Rhodes Hill Care Center, then seeing photos of the director during orientation and going "oh fuck no".

Lowkey the first half of RE9 is Luigi’s Mansion if it was scary af. I will not be explaining further.

While I think it falls into the classic Resident Evil trap of a stumbling final act, it’s still easily one of my top favorites for how it never gets dull swapping between Leon and Grace.

The audio design is superb, and hearing Grace’s VA freak out made me want to have a panic attack in solidarity.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

Super Breaking: Microsoft AI exec who has taken over Xbox division sent a new memo to staff:
“We are still committed to making great games and will not flood the market with slop… but, like, imagine if Master Chief was fighting John Wick on a rooftop and he had the face of Tom Cruise that’d be epic”

The continued pipeline of game execs going “hey incredibly respected studio, stop what you’re doing and make live service games for us!” And then “hey wait this thing sucks, time to close the studio” will forever baffle and enrage me. How many more?

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?"

NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Sounds like my yearly task of playing through the Yakuza games will not be opting for the latest version of Yakuza 3, and I will be sticking with the older remaster I already have on GOG. Shame.
