Greetings and Salutations Allies, I have been going back to do runs in FTL recently and I have realized something. I have not actually had a single winning run of FTL on regular difficulty. This is an especially unique position for me to be in as I can't think of any games I return to often that I haven't had any real success in. Despite my failures, I still come back to the game and enjoy my time with it. Do the Allies have any games they have played often that they just have no real success in? And also, if anyone has tips to get me over the hump, please help. I have at least made it to the final battle of a run on regular difficulty... at least. Love and Respect, Jeff Kendall

It was a blast to watch and I'm already excited for the next big FGC event. Now then, I believe Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to be a masterpiece, and is without a doubt one of the top contenders for GOATY this year. The gameplay is addicting; the story is captivating and don't even get me started on the music. Now, with that being said, the one thing I didn't like about the game was its endings, and I was glad to hear I wasn't alone as Isla said she wasn't a fan either. I would love to hear her take, but to me, the endings came off as being really pretentious. Like they were made to be "thought provoking" just for the sake of being "thought provoking", going so far as ignoring certain story and character arcs. Now these are just my thoughts and opinions, and there are probably others who love the endings, but like Isla, I'm just not one of them. So, my question is: has there ever been an ending you didn't like or agree with, or maybe it just rubbed you the wrong way? Would love to hear your thoughts, and as always, thank you for all you do.
