Twenty Sided / Shamus Young 😢

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I followed Shamus Young's blog in 2007, and kept following him long after I dropped every other blogger. I didn't always agree with him (*cough* Dark Souls *cough*), but his reviews were the best and most in-depth in the business (seriously, his Mass Effect retrospective covers the entire trilogy and is longer than most novels). He had a way with words where even when he was arguing for/against something you hate/love, you'd still be entertained by the read.

His death left a void in my consumption of media criticism. I don't think anyone I follow is as articulate or entertaining as Shamus was. RIP Shamus.
