@GirlVersusGame I'll start with saying I have now read and absorbed all of your replies, at least. I might not be able to reply to everything, but i've already written some, so will at least post that at some point. My reply, it honestly gets very tangenty, though, and that was only in reply to part one, so I don't want to lock you in to another week of intense discussions of all things when we can simply kick back, relax and go back to the fluffy world of low intensity fluff-chat instead - it might be for the best, and the creatures agree, see 🦊🐰
But I think I did see what you first referred to, and have seen people mouth-off at you about other stuff before, as well, too. Honestly, though, if things ever get too much, or people are getting you down, just remember they don't matter, they are incredibly boring NPC's 😛 but it seems like it maybe got to you, if i'm reading between the lines correctly. Another reason I won't pile on with my massively sprawling replies for now, I think time for you/us to return to a base-line is probably for the best, for the moment. Hopefully this doesn't sound dismissive, I just don't want to add any more to the eye-strain and heavy late night thoughts when I can maybe revert to being a more fun distraction instead.
Which will also free up your time to praise my efforts as pretend-CEO of Boobisoft who is ethically dominating the world of fantasy video game publishing 😛

It took a lot longer than expected and sorry about that, this current time-zone is a little funky and because it's a forced vacation there is so much time and I'd have swim very far to find civilization, I could I'd suppose game all day but don't want to. I miss the city, I like all of our quiet and secluded places, our mixing with our own kind, we have some of that here but it's very isolated and though some would like it, I'm more accustomed to a faster pace.
Yes the response from Tjuz says it all. My worry was that trying to use post the next day was hampered by that eye problem, which thankfully cleared up last-night. I thought it was eye-strain, or a fan had been blowing too close, I didn't realize holding tears back was even bad for your eyes until they injected that liquid and my eyes started streaming, if it sounds weird, it felt even weirder. At the same time my friend was basically telling me she was about to knock my other accounts offline so I would go to bed early and rest, and she did, and I did rest. It sounds extreme but they are shared to begin with and her methods do work.

I do appreciate the creatures, I tried a new game today about a puppy in space, it's really good and feels a lot like a MediaMolecule game. I think your one-week for you was one-night for me, but I know what you mean. I did ponder over many things which might be clear from my (really) long response. I didn't want to just shrug it off, people shared something genuine, their words had heart.
But I think I did see what you first referred to, and have seen people mouth-off at you about other stuff before, as well, too. Honestly, though if, things ever get too much, or people are getting you down, just remember they don't matter, they are incredibly boring NPC's 😛
I missed it if it happened before, there would have been a response. If it were the comments section? there's definitely been a response there. I missed the intention when talking to Psmr, I didn't know it was part of internet culture/a meme. I'm still slowly learning those and honestly few of them make sense, it's not always language. Some are so tied into things like SpongeBob and I haven't seen that, or others which again I haven't seen and I think you need to often spend a lot of time on social-media to get many of the others. A good comparison is if I posted a Russian meme in my own language and used it as a personal attack on another person. They wouldn't understand what I just did or why, it's as they say underhanded and unnecessary.
If you don't have the platform/language you don't have the meaning. My friend on the other-hand did understand the intention and the meaning. Her response was with a lot of more colourful, obviously in private. You both hit on the same thing and it does sound right. It did make me think to be done with that particular thread, but I've had some time to think about it and I won't be pushed off to the side by someone who thinks their sense of humor entitles them to do that. I've already been pushed off enough platforms.
but it seems like it maybe got to you, if i'm reading between the lines correctly.
I apologize in advance but I need to give an honest reply.
You have to look at it in-terms of past interactions. There were no doubts because I was helping people, what Tjuz said about a cash-machine. I did do that and if you saw the other logs you'd not only get it, but probably become even more emotional. I didn't, I was used to it, I 'helped' many people, I didn't know it was wrong. I didn't see money, and still don't, I know it has value but I don't understand it. I do understand the absolute fudging Hell that one label put on me after we entered our neighbours borders and suddenly everyone was an expert on people like me and our lifestyles. Psmr said that word and I had to move fast to clear my name, he's a very nice man but that word isn't. There are condemnations, there is hate and I've felt it all in a very short amount of time.
These 'experts' read some Twitter junk or some British tabloid? They know nothing, they spread lies, they imply we do all of these things with no proof, they rejoice in stories about seized vessels yet hush up when those same vessels mysteriously reappear in Russian waters. They choose how to spin their narrative, they engage in wars of words and suddenly I'm losing all of my friends because they 'know' some truths, and it's 'true' because Twitter told them.
My social everything was destroyed by people like that, I lost every 'normal' friend in the time it's taking you to make a cup of tea. It was that fast, every one of them turned on me and I swore to never have another Western friend again. I wasn't looking for these current friends, they found me on those encrypted networks and made the first move. I was refusing to even use English again. They showed me something else. They gave a fudge when no one else did. And while their methods may seem a little spooky or covert, who am I to talk. Friendship comes from some strange places and if there is genuine care I won't pull away.
There's blood involved in this too and it's innocent, the last thing I want to do is have that on my hands. So when some (insert chosen word here) tries to imply I'm lying about X Y or Z? sorry but no, they have no idea what the past couple of years were like for me and I was already isolated to begin with. If someone thinks I'm going to be devoting my time to tales of riches when I don't even use those recent purchases threads and refuse to show even you my gaming room, what do they have to base these things on? Do they want I should start posting pictures of my cars too? I did that before, I know where it ends, I'm not going through that again.
At the time I didn't understand the implication. I was racing to make sure Psmr didn't hate my guts too, and sneaking out of bed to do it too. I didn't understand the implication because it was tied into internet culture and if you aren't familiar with those methods you don't understand that someone made such a slight handed comment. I didn't until afterwards, someone else was a little fumey about it and I asked them what I missed. It's not in my nature to just let myself into someone's conversation with the express purpose to make them feel less than or to tear-down their credibility.
I can't vocalize what it feels like to have a major part of your life weigh you down, and then be called into question by an outside party, I'm trying to find the words. You can perhaps fill in the blanks because you do see and understand a lot of things that I do miss.
Hopefully this doesn't sound dismissive, I just don't want to add any more to the eye-strain and heavy late night thoughts when I can maybe revert to being a more fun distraction instead.
No it doesn't sound dismissive and if you're worried it might come of similar to the 'go play' I mentioned, it doesn't. There's a separation there, I understand it.
Which will also free up your time to praise my efforts as pretend-CEO of Boobisoft who is ethically dominating the world of fantasy video game publishing 😛
I was told told that The Big Walk is starting to become very popular yes. And sorry I think I pressed post after you had just posted about it too, now I see it happened, I didn't then.
@Werehog No skin off my back at all just to check in quickly! You were no inconvenience at all, and if anything, I highly appreciated the sentiment. There's worse things in life than checking in with my forum friends after all! I hear we're using that word now despite our heavily competitive nature in this friend. When can we move onto the "bestie" stage? Before or after I demolish your headquarters due to the rage of my CEO losing the draft? Um... sorry, wrong person to take my anger out on. That all belongs to BoobiSoft and their highly suspicious "87" score for Big Walk. What a joke!
You know, with your new plans for your personal haven, I'm starting to have the feeling Brexit was a good idea after all. M-YYY-D? I hope this Secretary of Defense of yours eats you alive for even suggesting such a mess! What even is the verbal version of that? The August 2026's 6th? It's a good thing your population won't be able to speak or they'd be tripping over their words left and right! And no, the vuvuzela is not an improvement on the bagpipes. That's a horrible memory I had left covered in the deepest depths of my brain until now. Sigh. I can hear them like a Silent Hill siren in my mind as I type. You have unleashed a monster! It doesn't help that there was a Dutch "hit song" (in quotation marks because it's actually a war crime) that was called Vuvuzela at the time. I'll not be able to recover from this infiltration into my poor, sweet brain.
That said, I appreciate your highest interest in my products compared to BoobiSoft. I'll take that as an extra 10 points and dock 20 points off of Ravix's score.
***
@Ravix I've seen and noted your attempt at outside manipulation with Sammy. I'm impressed by your out-of-the-box thinking, and for that, I can only be jealous I didn't think of it myself first. So, how about covering Nintendo games from now on, Sammy? I hear that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is pretttyyy hot. Maybe even a 10/10 worthy. Who knows? Thanks for the idea of playing Big Walk, but I think I'll kindly pass. I have never felt so undeservedly angry at a new game scoring well. It's keeping me up at night to think of that score. I can't believe my turn-off at friendslop led me here... This must be how the bros feel when a game that has a not-conventionally-attractive-woman as the lead scores well.
The fact that this "game" (if we can even call it that) has now somehow risen from a nice 87 to a horrendous 89. Christ on a bike, as they say over there! Probably! Now, do you need to keep rubbing your high and mighty score in my face? Not only do I already have to deal with this embarrassment as my counter-pick. Now you have the audacity to even show my picks right next to it! Mooom! I'm being bullied!
@Tjuz you must bow down and marvel at the size of my ever growing score that is now looming directly over your face! (I think I made that not too creepy sounding. Well... I was very tempted to make it sound far more f***ing weird, anyway 😂 and, actually I went and re-added the face bit just to make it obvious where it was heading and instill some of the weirdness back into the whole affair. Alas, you started it with all the face rubbing, and that's my excuse, governor)
Ohhhh, but I still think we should play 😭 moooooommmmmy Tjuz wont play with meeeeee! And he liiiiieeeees about bullying!
I actually bottled asking any 'football friends' if they would like to play a game where you just get plopped into a colourful world and have a nice little walk together and make your own fun solving puzzles (yes, I am referencing the inbetweeners - a documentary about growing up in the UK - in order to mock myself, and the awkwardness of how the game sounds when written down like that) it does make the game sound quite childish, but I am nothing if not equal parts childish buffoon and grumpy cynical bloke that pines to be less cynical and grumpy.
Anyway. As a cold, harsh CEO, I, of course, will take great pride in making the other CEOs look like rank amateurs in comparison (don't you dare delay GTA you TakeTwo mfers..) But as a big ol' goofball I do think we need to organise some kind of mandatory, fantasy-league play-date akin to the gameclubs of old
Oi! Big Walk’s score keeps going up! BoobiSoft seems to have hacked into the OpenCritic servers. The last time I experienced tampering with public polls on this level was…. Well, I don’t think there’s been a time that it’s been this egregious. 😛
It’s ok, it’s ok. No panic from me. Phantom Blade Ø is starting to grease the hype wheels now with their trailer announcement. Clearly oozing with confidence about what will surely be a 10/10. My first release is still a month away when Dawnwalker drops with its 10/10 scores, so all I have to worry about is that blasted Valor Mortis game that I chose to back while under the influence of some behavior altering drug that the BoobiSoft CEO slipped into my drink during the draft. Well, also there’s some worry about little Kena not getting a release date. And Well Dweller. Ugh…. If my other 5 games can deliver on their 10/10 potential then maybe I can tolerate one or two missteps. Also… Witch’s Bakery is gonna be awful. 3/10. I’m speaking it into existence.
@Tjuz Oh wise and omnipotent Ruler of Fantasy Critic— On the subject…. Not that I’m worried about any of my games [cough, ehrmm…] but I wanted to clarify the rules based on these two statements:
“Finally, if your game starts looking like a stinker, you have one opportunity at any point during the league to switch out a game for a new one as long as review scores are not in yet.”
Vs.
“You do, at any point in the draft, have the opportunity to switch out a game of yours for anything else. You can only do this before review scores have started dripping in for said game. You can simply tag me whenever you grow wary of one of your particular games and notify me you’re switching it out and for what else. This also counts for delayed games, so maybe keep this possibility open in case you’re unsure one of your picks will actually make it to release on time”
My interpretation of this was that we only get one free swap out now. The unlimited switch out was just during the draft? I was just clarifying because of the statement about games being delayed and how that would likely become more apparent after the draft is over.
Also, just to clarify the dynamic or changing nature of the OpenCritic score, since this is already happening with Big Walk and I wonder how it may occur in other games that have staggered releases or important online gameplay that may affect scores— I believe you said that 1 week after release the score is what we use, but that a final adjustment will be made at the end of the year to account for any changes in the score that happen in the weeks post launch?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Are we winning yet? I've been hearing some disturbing rumors about the competition. And caught them cheating by trying to butter Sammy up. (there are a lot of posts to catch-up to, but I will eventually) Don't scroll back too far, I shared five pages with Ravix, it doesn't affect the future of Pretendo Ent, I'm not jumping ship and his sweetener didn't compare to your cookies. So we still have a marketing wing (for now, time will tell)
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
@GirlVersusGame Ah, good to see you didn’t fall for that silver-tongued charlatan over there at BoobiSoft. Your future at Pretendo Entertainment is bright. As VP over marketing you’re in line for a huge bonus when we win. Are we winning yet?… well, no but we’re not far enough behind that we can’t catch up. All that matters is who’s ahead when the buzzer sounds on 12/31/26. Or as they say on iDoss Island— December 2026, 31 … ? Either way, it’s a marathon and although little Rav-ster is sprinting out of the gates fast, his lineup will fade quickly, just in time for us to hit our stride and coast to victory at the end of the year. Pretendo shall prevail! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Glossing over the fact @th3solution appears to have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning at Pretendo towers - you should get that issue sorted, or at least open a window, as you seem to be hallucinating and talking absolute poppycock. (And who knows, maybe the ethical thing to do would be to report those terribly unsafe work conditions to the relative authorities. It's not for me to say, is it) There are more pressing matters in relation to the league right now! ...
@werehog have you seen the conflicting opinions on Marvel Tokon's first reviews? Yikes! The PS review seems to act like everything is all fine and dandy and it is the best thing since sliced bread (IGN, of course) and yet the PC reviewer seems to be very upset and is acting like the game is the worst thing since badly sliced bread that later got dropped in a slightly damp stainless steel sink for a moment before being adorned with pilchards, jam and marmite and put into a plastic lunchbox and forgotten about for three days before making its way to your plate. Yuck! No pressure to make a statement to your shareholders, but i'd be at least writing a rough draft of a resignation, just in case.
And, btw, Sol. If it isn't clear by now after the Netlix announcment for GTA 6 - they are literally paying me hundreds of billions (estimate in an unannounced currency) for a 6-hour timed-exclusive for one measly video (that will get instantly leaked by 147,000 people on social media), the lunatics - my marketing division is doing just fine. Has @GirlVersusGame secretly been making these deals for me? Again, who is to say? If someone else doesn't claim to be the mastermind then it simply makes me look like an even bigger genius. So, the credit... I will leave a mystery, for now. And the seeds of doubt, well they are just delicious, aren't they, Sol?
Promotional image from Boobisoft HQ (as used in Ethical CEO Monthly, the subscription magazine for top-tier executives, entrepreneurs, and semi-delusional business owners)
(Yes, take a moment to laugh at both: AI's scary ability to quickly, and theftily, knock-up an image like this, and the gloriously sh** errors it makes. Tony Mantan's Tony Mbrace 😅)
a puff-piece article interviewing Boobisoft CEO, Ravix, to follow. Here is a snippet: "Yes, I see the resemblance to Tony Montana, now that you mention it, Stacy" - Ravix then spends an awkwardly long moment laughing to himself, out loud, and pretty much right in my face - "yes, what was the question? Ah, yes 'the only way is up' that was the overall theme of this movie, I believe? Yes, that was definitely it. It was always a favourite of mine, and I would watch it on a loop as a toddler in our 42 bedroom manor house - we were a, poor, common family, raised right, you see? Nothing was ever given. But even so, I always knew I was destined for the top. You could say I based my empire on that of Tony Montana's. We shared a vision in that regard, a vision that others seem to never be able to even imagine for themselves. And ever since I boarded that private boat and sailed to america with nothing but a dream, and a staff of 87 loyal, competitively-paid workers, my overbearingly effective work ethic has been able to take over. And, honestly, things have not, and will not stop going my way..."
@Ravix And, btw, Sol. If it isn't clear by now after the Netlix announcment for GTA 6 - they are literally paying me hundreds of billions (estimate in an unannounced currency) for a 6-hour timed-exclusive for one measly video (that will get instantly leaked by 147,000 people on social media), the lunatics.
That actually made me laugh, thank you I needed that. I can see why Tjuz created the game now. And yikes I hit refresh and saw your A.I. (something) I think movie lobby poster was a little too unnecessary but art is after all in the eye of the beholder. Also what even are those names on the poster. Mantans and Mbrace. Is it like Embrace? I can only think of your company name in relation to that, there are many questions.
@Ravix Haha! Wow… good to see that BoobiSoft HQ is running all their top analytics software through… are those Commodore 64’s or Apple II’s? 😂 And I loved the DualShock 4 as much as anyone, but I don’t think people want to play GTA6 with it. 🤣
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@GirlVersusGame the prompt was something basic like "a Tony Montana with x, y, z games, something like the scene with the rule don't get high on your own supply" The AI decided to then add a movie poster with Tony Mantan, and literally write the rule on the wall 😂 but I do love that it called him Tony Mantan, that got me laughing, and I will maybe call orange plastic g's from Essex 'Tony Man-tan-as' from now on. It is probably already a thing because of the prominent tans and it just makes perfect sense. I will consult The Business (Danny Dyer) for further information on the matter. It is about as good a quality pun as any The Sun headline, too. Also apt.
Glad that got a laugh from you (that's what i'm here being a buffoon for) I do think it is probably good for Netflix and GTA overall (because it is different and eyes are already on it) but when you analyse the kind of deals people make in advertising, it is all rather quite silly. And it will 1000000% be leaked instantly anyway. But look, we are talking about Netflix and GTA, so it has already worked 🤷♂️ McDonald's have the same principals. Everyone knows McDonald's exists, they don't really need to advertise it, but they spend a LOT in advertising, and run many multiples of different advert campaigns per-cycle so it is constantly in people's minds in lots of different ways, and thus when the Zombies are hungry they feel less ashamed to give in to their urge to settle for another McDonald's. It is an inescapable truth. Tonight I cook instead a salmon, and continue to be impervious to the fast food and advertising overlords 😄
Oh, never question the power of AI, it is simply as weird and stupid as it is aloof with copyright infringements.
@Th3solution it's called history, and respecting those that came before us. Duh! As an all powerful gaming executive, being rooted in computing and videogame history is what helps me stay ethical and keeps me steps ahead of the competition. Maybe if those at pretendo cared about tactile, physical gaming you'd understand the importance of surrounding oneself in that history. (The voice you must read this in is of Wayne, the coffee shop owner - read by Bob Mortimer - in his book series. Of course you won't have heard that, so imagine a pompous, English-accented Lloyd Grossman hipster, and you are halfway there)
Oh, and that terrible knock-off movie poster, apparently it was hiding some marks on the wall, totally unrelated to that union rep that vanished. I think one of my PA's must have got the poster from etsy just for something to put there.
Good to see my date format joke landed with the subtlety of a skydiving elephant. Well, I guess I'll have to wear it now. I demand all iDoss Interactive release dates be changed immediately!
Depends which ranking system you use. According to most sources on the Hallmark Channel, I think it's supposed to go "stranger", "acquaintance", "mild annoyance", "rival", "nemesis", "confusing yet predictable hook-up in the third act", "frenemy", "temporary ally", "key to resolving Season 2's amnesia subplot", "comrade-in-arms", "legit friend", "traitor", "nemesis (reprise)", "surprise good guy all along", "new boss", "old boss", "classic boss", "I can't believe it's not boss", and then "bestie".
And no, the vuvuzela is not an improvement on the bagpipes. That's a horrible memory I had left covered in the deepest depths of my brain until now. Sigh. I can hear them like a Silent Hill siren in my mind as I type. You have unleashed a monster! It doesn't help that there was a Dutch "hit song" (in quotation marks because it's actually a war crime) that was called Vuvuzela at the time. I'll not be able to recover from this infiltration into my poor, sweet brain.
Good grief, I am learning so much about the Dutch today!

Hey! How'd you guess today's special from the iDoss Interactive canteen? I told you before, you keep your drones in your own lair! There'll be no corporate espionage on my watch!
[returns to reading report entitled 'Stuff Everybody Else is Up To' and panics at high scores within]
No pressure to make a statement to your shareholders, but i'd be at least writing a rough draft of a resignation, just in case.
No need for that yet. I have plenty of stock corporate phrases on hand to weather any storm, including such timeless gems as, "robust synergy", "in the fulness of time", and my personal favourite, "we can seek to maximise moving our bandwidth's needle when we circle back to unpack" or something. I am confident that Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will reach its potential and receive fair scores which reflect what is sure to be a significant uptick in the project's key performance indicators.
...so, we are gonna take the scores from the end of the year, right? Like, after a couple patches?
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
Another banger with Marvel Tōkon with 9/10 from our Push Square review crew.
iDoss and @werehog are surely popping the champagne. PC patching done too, so things are looking very competitive.
Letting everyone get a good head start makes for a more dramatic climactic finish when Pretendo passes everyone. 😄
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Where are the PC reviews? Come on PC haters, more negative reviews, please!
Ah, this is why I was going to pick Tokon (it has looked good since that epic State of Play, remember when people liked PlayStation for a while 😬) alas, I was too slow. I had it between 87/89 and it looks well on track, unfortunately 😛 far too many PS5 reviews though, we want those grumpy PC scores of 6 or lower just to balance things out a little. I refuse to swallow my pride and congratulate a rival for such a commendable pick without somehow trying to take the credit myself!
I'm not sure about that positive spin at pretendo, but my own positive spin is just look at how one of my low picks (I was aiming for maybe an 83 tier) scored like a GotY candidate, so just imagine what my high draft picks will get. We may have to crank things up to 101 with a few 11/10 scores taking it beyond a prefect 100.
I will say, the other game that I really wanted is a pretendo pick, so there is still that going for you 😄 I only pick winners, see. And my draft board doesn't lie, if anything it was quite understated.
And my plan to bait werehog into an early resignation has seemingly failed. Still, those PC reviews could come in hot, like trash. Hot, hot trash🤞
What's next up @Tjuz me lad? I could just look but i'd rather involve you.
And also, Sol. Did you enjoy your time in the oven? I don't make threats lightly, and you won't understand the witcher reference until you play TW3, so there is more incentive! I have the utmost faith that The Eternal Life of Goldman is aiming for a release in the festive season (and isn't secretly unfinished and barely drawn yet, apart from trailers) and it will release alongside maybe a pop single so it can go for christmas number one at the same time as Game of the Year. So there 😭
@Ravix I mostly wanted to bring attention to the high scores for Tōkon just rile up the frontrunners. Make you guys a little nervous to see someone nipping at your heels and then, Wham!… here comes Pretendo speeding past all three of you.
I am not sure about the baby in the oven thing, but gotta say I’m curious now. Knowing what I know about the Witcher universe from the books, I can only imagine what the backstory is to create such a prompt. Udalryk must be a real bad person if there’s any temptation to choose the oven over giving the baby to them. 😅 Of course we all know about babies needing to “spend time in the oven” as a metaphor to stay in the womb until they’re ready to birth safely, but never considered it as a literal option!
But yes, rooting for Goldman to need more oven time so it rolls into the 2027 draft where I will break BoobiSoft’s heart once again by picking it early. 😛
@Ravix Ever-growing score?! Ha! It was at 90 once... and guess where it's at now? 88! At this pace, the OpenCritic score will eventually drop under 0 by the end of the year. That's how extrapolation works, right? Don't worry about the weirdness nonetheless. I'd much rather have other internal aspects of your life ever-growing than your internal projections for game scores. Do you think you'll be able to convince your football friends to give this colourful world of yours a shot? Frankly, I doubt it, since I'm pretty sure the only colours football fans are not colour-blind to are green and whatever their home team wears. Which, judging by what I've seen, is mostly yellow or red.
Delighted to see you featured on Ethical CEO Monthly. What a great picture of yours! Am I only complimenting you in the fear of mafia retaliation after seeing your office and look? No... maybe. Gotta say the whole CRT bit is somewhat performative though. You're telling me you really play on them despite the commercial success of your latest game? What? Can't afford a nice flat-screen because of all the bribes you've had to pay off for Big Walk's reviews scores? I figured. I gotta say I've been having a worse time with the press personally. With my current score standing at (checks to see if this can really be true)... zero, there's been some unfortunate paparazzi shots of mine going around.
Ha! Typical of the ''press'' nowadays to always frame a mental breakdown as if it's a bad thing. Sometimes it's just exactly what you need to keep you going and conquer your enemies in the long-term. Anyways, next up will be another BoobiSoft original with the already maligned The Witch's Bakery on 20/08, followed by Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy for TjuziMax and Star Wars: Zero Company for iDoss Interactive exactly a week later. That'll be rounding out August in full, after which it's (finally) time for Pretendo to enter the fold with their first batch of releases the beginning of September!

@Th3solution Thank you for addressing me by the appropriate omnipotent title! I will gladly shed some light on your prayers. I can see how I confusingly explained the rules regarding swapping. I told you I'm verbose, not clear! This is why I generally don't get given the role of game master. Can you imagine the chaos I'd create as a dungeon master for a D&D game? To be clear: swapping is a one-time thing, yes. Just tag me and say you want to swap any of your games out for another and I'll make it happen. No more after that, as you only get one for the rest of this year! As for the OpenCritic scores, yes, the week-after result is what I'll note down on the first page as the ongoing tally, but I'll make adjustments where necessary at the end of the year when scores have changed. The end of the year OpenCritic score is ultimately what counts. The week after is just so we can keep an eye on how the race is going, and for me not to have to constantly check game pages and switch scores any time there's a minor adjustment over the next few months!

@Werehog Whew! I appreciate all the effort you put in into clarifying our relationship status. Let's see... maybe we're not quite at bestie yet, and as we are current rivals in the gaming landscape... I think we're squarely at ''nemesis (reprise)''. Surely the original nemesis is too early on in the line-up, and I'm sure we've been nemeses elsewhere before. Maybe during the screenshot competition back in the day? Did I win? Either way, it's a good sign that ''surprise good guy all along'' will be up next! Maybe it'll involve us taking back our judgmental and insufferably uptight statuses. Something, something personal growth.
''Congratulations'' on that 85 OpenCritic for your first entry into the business. Where's the PC gamers when you need them? Should we introduce score penalties for every unit refunded on PC? Just an idea!
I like that Tjuz is getting older and more colourful as this saga plays out. And that office interior reminds me of my first playroom, minus all of the toys and Ravix I need to clarify what I mean by both because English can have two meanings and I know where your mind goes. I mean Barbie etc. It will be interesting to see how that StarWars game does. I had a dream about The Big Walk last-night, I think because I was trying to figure out ways to play it without anyone offline realizing those characters weren't A.I, I tried it solo and had a look around, it's different that's for sure.
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
