no news. i forgot to save all my interesting links this week -_- so let me try to do an impromptu link round-up.

• instead of being productive, i've been playing obenseuer, a sort of sandbox adventure game made by the creators of infra. and while obenseuer might be an acquired taste, i strongly, strongly, STRONGLY recommend that everyone drop what they're doing and go play infra as soon as possible. it remains one of my favorite games released in recent memory and if you enjoyed esoteric first-person puzzle games from the 90s and/or pokemon snap, you will love this game where you take photos of crumbling infrastructure (hence: infra) as part of your job as a dour civil inspector. i really, really loved this game. please check it out and tell me if you liked it!
• speaking of video games, expect my comic output to drop significantly in may when elden ring: night reign is released. the release date was announced this week and review footage is starting to trickle out. it looks weird and promising! here's a vid from long-time soulsborne dataminer bonfirevn introducing you to the new playable characters.
• i can't remember if i've linked this one before, but this vid of a videogame streamer named coney going completely insane trying to win tokens at an arcade had me howling. i've never seen a man unravel so quickly after his initial exposure to the coin pusher machines.
• a valentine's sandwich from hell.
