The website X Formerly Known As Twitter is, I think we can all agree, bad. There's arguments that it was bad anyway but like it is Particularly Bad under the ownership of the prick that owns it now.

I think I am reasonably consistent in saying that I am a fan of the sorts of good presentations of older games on modern systems that we get from like the works of Digital Eclipse or M2 or the like.

We have known this was coming for like three weeks. Cynical people suspected it would eventually happen for a while. It has only fully properly hit me now that it has happened.

There's a few occasions where I've got through a tough brain time by burying myself in deeply good computer game Celeste. And, well, tough brain times lately, so I went through and replayed it. And it's SO good to just like take all my whatever…
