I just want to raise my kids in a culture that values kindness and rejects cruelty. Where honesty is more important than selfishness. Where the ideals espoused to every kindergartener are expected of every adult. It shouldn’t be too much to ask.

What if Zelda had an amazing, cinematic story? What if Last of Us had incredible, skill based combat? What if Uncharted somehow put all the violence in context? What if Dark Souls was approachable and clear? The answer to all of these questions and more is God of War.

Elden Ring reviews read like people who adore spicy food raving about a brand new hot pepper blend. They are ecstatic about it because they love spicy flavor. Me, a sucker with a sentitive stomach, hears this and thinks I HAVE to try it because I don’t want to miss a tasty treat.

Hi, Internet. Yesterday I learned I’ll need emergency eye surgery. I’m told the recovery period will be 6 weeks or more, during which time I must remain in a very specific head-down position unable to read or speak. I won’t be able to talk to my kids, work, text, or tweet. 1/5

The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece of video game narrative. Nothing else even comes close. The story is brutal, challenging, bold, and almost never "fun". It is harrowing, forcing the player to confront violence in a way video games never do 1/5

I don't usually give scores for video games, but God of War is a 10/10 on every scale I can imagine. It is one of the finest crafted single player games of all time. The kind of game you buy a new TV for, to experience it in the best possible way. 1/

There is no Biden squeaker victory that reconciles the fact that more people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016. They saw what he was, saw how he lied and golfed his way through 4 years and 220,000 people died, and they said “that’s my guy”. This is a foul, greedy country.

Being a bachelor means hiding from doing the dishes until you have to. Being a husband means having to do the dishes even though you don’t want to. Being a dad means wanting to do the dishes because it’s hiding.

Wait until all the Americans who think it’s crazy that British taxpayers are paying 30 million for the royal wedding find out how much we pay for Trump to play golf every week.

I’m saying this, not to fish for sympathy or comments - after Monday I won’t be able to read any of them anyway. I just wanted to let everyone know where I went. Ain’t gonna be around for a long while and that feels weird to think about. 4/5

Everyone’s inner life is difficult. Every. Single. Person. Isn’t that a profound thing to come to terms with? It isn’t just you. Everyone. No one has it easy. They all need kindness and compassion. They all need love. Everyone struggles. Everyone.
