For music fans, I highly recommend Trash Theory. Very thorough deep dives into songs and bands that leave you with a much better understanding of music history.

For commentary on modern popular music I recommend Todd in the Shadows and Mic the Snare.

This meme we're commenting on is clearly a reaction to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet which is an original IP. At the very least my comment specifically mentions Naughty Dog.

I want original content too and find your comment agreeable but it's not what this meme is communicating. The creator of this meme is simply coming off as whiny and saying a studio can't take pride in its history. The artists deserve much credit and I praise the real humans that make our favorite games possible but to say a studio shouldn't use their track record as a selling point is silly. Nobody would react this way to a FromSoft trailer saying "from the makers of Dark Souls and Bloodborne".

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen gamers complain about lately. Many studios have marketed like this - only Naughty Dog gets this reaction because it's cool to hate them now I guess.

I appreciate this response. It makes me feel a little better. I still think we should be concerned about SCOTUS probably getting to make some of these decisions of what's official or not. Seems more corrupt on the judicial branch side of things rather than executive. Overall not great.

I'm in my late 20s and I got LASIK a couple of years ago. My doctor prepared me for steadily losing vision again when I hit my 40s or so (in a standard "getting older" way) and to be honest it's still worth it to me. It's very convenient and though the procedure wasn't cheap I think I save money in the long run because my contacts and glasses weren't cheap either. I recommend it.

Could've used Mushroom Intelligence Agency somewhere here as well

I didn't play the demo but I assume it's gameplay very early in the game. My review is that the game starts too slow which is probably what you experienced. Overall it might be worse than Pikmin 3 Deluxe but Pikmin 4 is still a quality game that gets better when you're around the mid-way point. It's surprisingly long too (going for all treasure, not speedrunning) and overall I think it's worth the price.

Even though his years with Genesis were great, I've always preferred Gabriel's solo work. Melt is my favorite album of his but I'd put his 2002 album Up right next to this one.

Also, there's a great YouTube video by Trash Theory that came out recently on Gabriel and the years leading up to Games Without Frontiers as a single https://youtu.be/rNITD4QyS7c
