So Spider-man is finally coming to Avengers this week. Turns out, he's packing light.Previously every time we got a new character in the game, we've gotten a chunk of story/missions to go along with it. Really, the little bits of campaign we get and the mechanics of the heroes themselves are the only things this game has managed to do right thus far, so every little bit counts.

There was a time when our kids played with the friends we gave them. The children of friends of ours, other family, whoever we decided their playdate was with. The kids are old enough now that they're out in the world making friends on their own, which is great, but it also means I'm being roped into awkward blind dates with other parents in order to facilitate their increased social presence.Just about all of them are perfectly lovely people, but most often there's very little common ground with any of them beyond the surface-level...

It's bananas that video games on a corporate level so routinely fumble the interaction with video games on a modding level.These businesses have a right and a responsibility to protect their brand, of course, but often the nature by which they go about it seems so unnecessarily hostile that I wish I could sit in on some of these meetings at a higher level just to hear the rationale.Video game publishers deciding to shut down the passion projects of modders, working for free and for the benefit of the community, is nothing new. But rarely do...

I have applied to a LOT of alpha/beta/stress tests over the years, but Elden Ring might be the first time I've gotten an email letting me know I didn't get in. Usually you just... don't get in.I can't decide if giving me a heads up feels like a welcome courtesy, or an emphatic and targeted pronouncement of rejection. Like they wanted it to be stated loud and clear with no room for question. XD
