Heading to St Mary's for the big relegation party. Find me in the Itchen stand if you need a hug. #SaintsFC

Didn't come. Christmas ruined.

Feeling acutely stressed, actually, now at the no-show of Zelda, like, do these people not know we have PLANS.

1997 was a year of genuinely incredible albums, from Missy to the Chems via Spiritualized and SFA. But for a few weeks, this was the only sound we heard.

The sort of group and album that could only have existed in 1997. The eye of the big beat storm. Goofy grooves. What a weird but kinda wonderful time. I saw BRA live a few years later, their chart appeal waning rapidly. They weren't good, but they were fun.

This is probably right in the order it's presented.
Ralph will find a great job before long.
Jones is proven at lower levels - amongst that field, he's a winner.
As for Ruben, he's still got his training wheels on, so he's 'worst' by default.
Worst *for Saints*? Jones, obvs.

I've not played Tears of the Kingdom yet - it's on the way, the shipping notice is here, come on come on - but I did, as a "video gaming historian"*, talk about Zelda to the Evening Standard...

Also: nothing *wrong* with any piece of critique that lands at a point 'lower' than others. Obviously.
But BOTW is a 10/10 and I will fight you.

BOTW got some 6/10s too. Nothing new to see here.
(Though, that was sort of that review's point, lol, lmao, etc.)

There are only three genuine, feel-it-in-your-bones 10/10 video games. The ones that are both the zeniths of their kind AND the foundation of so much after.
(But they're different for everyone, right?)

Made the mistake of ordering something from Sweden. £53 import charge. For an item smaller than your hand. Wtaf.

House is on the market. Anyone wanna buy a house? Transformers on top of the wardrobe, not included in the sale.

Look, right. All I will add to the listcourse is that you do not, can not, have an 'all time' list without Pac-Man. You just can't. Recency bias and age of the contributors are factors; but if this is supposed to be a snapshot of the fantastic and foundational, needs Pac-Man.

This is on a 'new' save, no DLC, so many a discovery is fresh, in the save at least. All the little ???s, the towers to find to pop the topography, the speck of orange through a crevice, speaking of a puzzle to solve. If TOTK is just more of this, I'll be the happiest.

Spent a few hours back in Breath of the Wild, warming up for Friday. And it's just the easiest game to lose yourself to, still. Always something, just over there. Climb that hill or that tree, and take a look. A limited space that feels infinite. Magic.

It's *such* a struggle to get 'small' games covered in any capacity on big sites. But then, I wouldn't commit resources to coverage of a complete unknown either. I wouldn't commission a review on a whim; precedent is everything for this stuff. But yeah. Depressing. Ain't it.

This is so fundamentally saddening. (And yet, equally sadly, understandable business wise.)
