  • That sour electric aroma you can smell is the collective anxiety-stench of games journalists trying to decide whether it’s worth sitting through the full investor presentation in the hopes of discovering some proper context for these pitiful morsels - perhaps even a unique angle which none of those other hacks have discovered, the feckless layabouts.

    So he’s taking his frustrations out on the reader by padding his article with sympathy-bait? I’ve come to really dislike Rock Paper Shotgun articles lately



  • That person that is kind of lacking in social skills, still weirdly opinionated about really specific things, doesn’t care enough about their appearance for how old they are, and several other holdovers from being a nerdy high school shut in, but is very slowly becoming better.
