Reconnect Recommends: Here's the most played games on Steam Deck for September 2025 with Silksong the champion #gaming #videogames

If For the Payers was a meme, Xbox said hold my beer: Power Your Wallet

Game about to reveal something big, and I’m on the edge of my seat and then… “Need Bluechew?!”

Here’s a hot take, if Kamala Harris was elected, we don’t get PS5 price hikes, and Switch 2 probably launches at $400, BUT I think Xbox still hikes everything up

It's time for my new annual tradition. My hottest gaming takes of 2025 so far, with takes varying from lukewarm to “it kind of burns your hand if you touch it.” Games featured: Blue Prince, Silksong, DS2, KCD2, Mafia, and more! 3300 words! bignerdgaming.com/2025/10/03/m...

Sword of the Sea 🪸 is a simple, short, and to the point game. But that’s not a bad thing as it’s beautiful and ends before overstaying its welcome. A quick review 👇🏽 #gamesky #reviews #ps5

I’ve gamed so much this week that it’s been like the old days when I had insane free time. Gonna miss this next week.

One of my greatest moments on Twitter was him blocking me for a joke I made regarding his stupid take that Minnesota was more right wing than the 3 Midwest battlegrounds lol

Update:

Woke up late (stayed up organizing cards and watching stuff) so just had coffee, going to eat something small and then it’s Yotei time

I’ve been critical of some of Ryan’s takes in the past but he nails it here. It feels like the Xbox brand is turning into a high income video game brand.

Anyone who has followed me forever on social media has seen me do this reaction pic and it’s from this movie:

Spooky Season 2025 👻 14 - Freaks - Traditional - 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 One of my longest running traditions, Freaks isn’t a horror film but it’s always been watched for spooky time. A really interesting movie I love to quote, with a subtle message around bullying and judging people who are different.

It’s time to have my yearly visit to see Hans and company

Finally got my hands on Fabled product, and it got here 2 days early 😊

I have never felt more conflicted with a game as I do with Silksong 🪡, a game that I felt is more cheap than hard, but I can’t help but love its world and characters. It’s a game that I both love and hate. Full review 👇🏽 #gamesky #reviews #substack #silksong

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

It depends on what you need it for. I think it’s a perfect service for people that don’t have money or resources to have giant collections, which many gamers here tend to forget as we live in a bubble. That being said, the $400-$650 gateway is steep.

I started playing Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart, and as someone that was obsessed with the series a decade ago, I forgot just how freaking good these games are and how awesome its characters are.

BTW, I recently subscribed to PlayStation Plus to get access to older games for PS5 I have yet to play (recently started R&C: A Rift Apart). I’m actually planning to unsubscribe from Game Pass at least temporarily next year.

$30 for Game Pass Ultimate is pretty high but I still would argue for what you get it’s the best deal in gaming. But without a doubt that’s a tougher sell at that price.

Spooky Season 2025 👻 13 - Hellraiser - Traditional - 🎃🎃🎃🎃 A Halloween season tradition and a movie I love to quote. The skin gore effects always make me squeamish but I always have a good time watching this.

My Disney rankings project continues with the Silver Age, which marked the formula the company would use for decades. Remember, this is all leading up to one complete list 👇🏽 On the gaming front, I got a Silksong review coming tomorrow and lots of content next week, stay tuned.

Spooky Season 2025 👻 12 - Nosferatu - First Time - 🎃🎃🎃 1/2 Man… after all the hype I heard for this one, I came away so disappointed. The subplot with Ellen and the overuse of sensual stuff didn’t work for me at all. Ending was really bad too. Very well made however with great acting.

Shawn Layden hardest hit

Spooky Season 2025 👻 11 - Nosferatu - It’s Been a While - 🎃🎃🎃🎃 Saw this a long time ago and this time I felt like I liked it a bit less than I remembered. I think the problem is that it’s so slow paced and we don’t see enough of the Count. Also the ending was a bit of a let down.

My next three games are set

My wife’s family were shocked when they found out I don’t need a green card, she had to explain it to them

To be fair to the studio, on paper it sounded awesome

Hey you know Coral Tower in Silksong? F*** this place

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

New Ken Burns documentary this November!

The new PS5 models feature a matt black finish rather than a glossy finish. 👀 Which one do you prefer? 🤔

Spooky Season 2025 👻 10 - The Old Dark House - First Time - 🎃🎃🎃🎃 1/2 Slow start but every few moments it gets better and better and I felt like it had a lot going beyond classic horror aspects. The history behind the cast is wild!

The EA deal will be about money (not far right politics as some claim). BioWare is danger and micro transactions are going to sky rocket as well as employee layoffs.

My hope is they sell BioWare

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Sept. 29, 1925: Robert LaFollette Jr., the son and secretary of the progressive Republican senator who died June 18, wins a special election to succeed him. Wisconsin voters give the 30-year-old a landslide with 68% of the vote over a conservative “independent Republican.”

Spooky Season 2025 👻 9 - American Psycho - First Time - 🎃🎃🎃🎃 There’s a lot in this movie that works real well but the ending felt like such a confusing mess that it kind of put me off by the time the credits rolled. There are themes here that I liked.

If you can help, please do. Pretty monstrous stuff here. Arrested at her scheduled green card meeting after having gotten married. We are in Hell. www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

Eagles clearly the better team but nice for us to have a wake up call on this dark horse BS, we’ll win the division and then lose in the playoffs

Pokémon Red and Blue Version were released 27 years ago today in North America (1998) #retro #art #gaming #Pokemon

1988 was another important year in the era of 8-bit gaming. The newest edition of Strachey’s Game List takes a look at the consequential titles from that year. 👇🏽

Spooky Season 2025 👻 8 - M - First Time - 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 This movie started slow but every few moments picked up more and more and ended with a great message/debate around capital punishment. Not necessarily a horror film but really loved it by the end.
