Not to make a habit of pointing out typos, but the "Variant" section reads "a dad too sour" instead of, presumably, "a tad too sour." Sometimes I write video game criticism, and, fair warning, I'm going to steal this for a headline next time I have to produce something about the burgeoning genre of "sad dad" games. Whether it's Kratos from "God of War" or Harry from "Silent Hill" or Joel from "The Last of Us," one of them is going to be "A Dad Too Sour." Coming soon.
