Good morning! Fuck ice!

Overall, I found Returnal’s third-person shooting to be sublime - but I’d be lying if I said that the roguelike wrapper in which said shooter exists is kind of lacking. I also think that the game tips its hand a *little* too early with regards to the abstract/metaphorical stuff involving the (1/2)

Samus Aran Figma just arrived! Legit feels like I’ve been waiting two years for it

Focaccia topped with pancetta and fried shallots. Tasty!

"What's your favourite Beatles album, then?" "Tough one! I think I'd have to say... The Best of The Beatles"

It's time to get CUBED

Took me a real real long time but I finally finished Kojima's latest opus; you can look forward to my quick thoughts on tonight's installment of @respawnaimfire.bsky.social!

All of your boy Kozi's Video Game Accomplishments in 2026 - A Thread:

GameStop Canada split from GameStop US last year and renamed itself back to EB Games. Last night I saw this first picture on a billboard. I’m guessing that rebranding was pretty worthwhile to them.

Tonight’s focaccia, with a smattering of grated Parmesan

#ThrowbackThursday 🌭 What's the weirdest thing that you do to hot dogs? Because chances are Max has you beat:

Thank you for making Minnesota not feel alone right now. Since MinnMax is a Minneapolis-based outlet, we unpack how the city is feeling in this public episode of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8 ICE out of Minneapolis.

Lots of coolio stuff to talk about on this episode; come join in on the fun!

#ThisThingRulesTrivia 📽️ The first 3D movie screened for a commercial audience was The Power of Love, a 1922 silent drama. Its 3D effect was achieved using red-and-green anaglyph glasses, and peering through only the red or green lens during its last reel would show either a happy or tragic ending.

I actually went to a movie theatre juuuuust yesterday to watch Zootopia 2 (solid sequel btw!) and I can confirm that they are still very cool in 2026; my favorite part is getting to see all the bizarre Canada-exclusive animated movies that get advertised during the pre-show

I keep trying to post some dumb jokes and promote my dang games but this keyboard just keeps typing, “Fuuuuuuuuck ICE,” over and over.

I had a bit of difficulty getting the glass one out of its container, but both were otherwise very tasty 🇮🇹

Two focaccias, two different recipes. Let’s see which is better!

I actually found a copy of the game at my local library! What a novelty.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

My first pies of 2026 came out very decent, though going forward I probably need to experiment with using less yeast, as my dough’s bubbliness/uneven rise is still a bit a problem. (Still tastes great though!)

It’s time to punch some dough

It’s time for me to share the #SloveniaSecrets

Hope everyone else has a happy new year in a few hours; 2025 has left me exhausted and so I’m going to hibernate for a bit until 2026

Help us choose how we’re going to kick off the new year!

Kid Icarus Uprising is a twitch stream where all of the cohosts are constantly running shitty little bits and the streamer is powerless to stop them

#ThisThingRulesTrivia 🍫 In a 2002 interview with Larry King, Gene Wilder revealed that the scene in the 1972 movie in which his titular character performs an unexpected somersault was inserted at his request, "because no one will know from that point on whether I am lying or telling the truth."

I shared a fun lil’ memory on this episode about getting my PS3 during Boxing Day; enjoy it!

Back when I was living in Japan in 2016 I inexplicably came across a Wonka-branded chocolate bar; alas it featured the Johnny Depp Wonka

This interview pretty much confirms what I suspected after finishing the game, which is Retro basically had to salvage the original iteration of Prime 4 that Namco was working on, and was never given a chance to fundamentally rethink this iteration’s bad ideas/make the project their own… (1/3)

Smash 4 on Christmas Eve?! I was expecting Smash Ultimate, but hey why not. I’ll destroy everyone in here

If cleaning up Prime 4's remaining collectables showed me anything, it's that - for all the game's faults - Retro Studios is *still* a supremely gifted developer, even with so many of the staff that helped define the studio's early hits being long gone. I really, really hope that they're (1/2)

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

Last night, I shared my thoughts on Metroid Prime 4 on Respawn Aim Fire; now, with the benefit of 24 hours of further reflection, I'm ready to go in-depth into my thoughts on Retro's long-awaited title here.🧵 Upfront: Prime 4 is the most disappointed that I've ever been in a Metroid game. HOWEVER,

I have so many thoughtssss to sssssshare 😙

You can look forward to my full thoughts on Prime 4 on tonight’s instalment of @respawnaimfire.bsky.social; I’ve got a lot to say - good? Bad? You’ll have to tune in to find out 🤫

Hey @scottbromley.bsky.social! Sorry to bug ya again - according to USPS tracking (via my order page on the T-Shirt site) my wrong-sized shirt was returned last month, but my contact in the US hasn’t received the replacement shirt yet; will he be getting it soon? Or do I need to put in a new order?

It’s finally here

Been rebuilding old Lego sets while waiting for Metroid

Tried to complete the requirements to access Act 3, but after many hours of doing sidequests and scouring the corners of the map for new areas I reached my limit. I found Silkong's uncompromising vision of a hostile and tremendously difficult Metroidvania world masterfully done, but (1/2)

Surprise! Because of a last-minute layover snafu, I ended up spending one final-final day in Munich, Germany (most of which was spent exploring the city’s Old Town and its endless Christmas markets):
