  • you can absolutely do these things yourself! but it’s also become socially acceptable, socially expected even, to outsource these kinds of specialized tasks to specialists.

    It’s not just a social issue. When we consider the planning and shopping and prep work and cleanup, cooking is (like most of the tasks you listed) enormously time consuming. Lots of people have so little free time in their lives that regularly cooking their own meals just doesn’t make sense.

    Cooking freezable meals in bulk can help, as can taking turns with someone else in the household (if there is anyone else). But the time cost is still significant.

    Sad to see that so many FANTASTIC games ended up with nil, because E33 stole the show so hard, but it’s tough to argue that they didn’t deserve each one.

    I’ll argue it.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a gorgeous creation. The music is wonderful, the scenery is lovely, and the English voice acting surprisingly good.

    But its gameplay is bog standard JRPG battles with a basic parry mechanic. Nothing original or interesting there.

    I feel it deserved every award it received for being a work of art, but Game of the Year? No.
