So here’s something you might not know about me. I typically don’t take notes while reviewing games. The usual exceptions would be, like, if a specific line of dialogue jumps out at me and I want to make sure that I’m quoting it correctly or something like that. But I tend to go with the “if I can’t remember it, chances are it doesn’t necessarily make enough of an impact to be a point in the review” approach. It’s served me pretty well over the years. In fact, the only times when this approach does me wrong is in cases like the one I’m currently facing.

This roughly translates as “I’m terrible at my job, and usually I’m lucky enough to get away with it, but on this occasion my incompetence is right out in the forefront. But it’s okay because I’m going to be up-front about it. That makes everything fine.”
