I already have a Switch Pro controller and two different 8BitDo controllers but Austin liking those HORI Daemon X Machina joy-cons pushed me to order them. My left joy-con stick is starting to drift and I don't find playing the Switch handheld super comfortable, so they'll probably be worth it.

I know it is super obvious in retrospect, but I am so happy I didn't get the narrator for Sayonara Wild Hearts spoiled for me. Thank you Waypoint.

Also, Patrick is right that the back half of that game is better than the first half, but I really enjoyed everything, even though the first half is more of a glorified auto-runner.

Also, the Rez comparisons make a lot more sense now that I completed the game, lol.

I'm not sure how Aevee's review of Code Vein sits with me, especially contrasted with the RPS review. Normally I probably wouldn't care since different reviewers have different opinions (and I like Aevee's other work) but the RPS review highlights some really gross seeming sexist stuff that the Waypoint review seems to just sort of shrug off as "its trashy anime, what do you expect? Enjoy the junk" and I...think our standards should be higher?

I guess it has to do with expectations. Like if you know going in that it's by the folks that brought you God Eater, then none of this is all that surprising? idk.

There's a lot to unpack on how reviewers use 'anime' as a descriptor though. Christ.

There sure are some sentences in that review that never saw an editor:

This is especially a consideration in Code Vein because it there isn't any sort of limit on the co-op feature, and the default state of the game is to have an AI companion with you at all times.

What does "this" mean here? Nobody knows.

What does "this" mean here? Nobody knows.

from the previous paragraph

enemy attacks that hit behind them (and encounters with multiple enemies) are basically the only thing that prevents a pair of players from distracting and backstabbing every enemy in the game to death (and that's still a viable strategy, it's just not free).

It's made awkward by the positioning of the review summary insert thing. definitely could be better

Throughout the Cube World discussion I kept going from 'damn i wanna play this' to 'damn i dont want to play this' back to 'damn i wanna play this' and i don't know exactly where i landed in the end.

by the way, quite late to the discourse, but I finally got around to rewatching End of Evangelion last night and boy howdy was it way more intense than I remembered. That Asuka stuff is utterly fucked.

Ha, right? What a bizarre, interesting thing it seems to be. Definitely want to check it out myself, though it may not be quite the same solo.

I enjoyed their discussion regarding The Last of Us and that thread on gaming side is even more enlightening after listening to them talk about it. Joel is a monster.

It makes me want some kind of crossover DLC where the goose invades the worlds of other indie games and wreaks havoc
