I changed my mind, I hate gaming now.

I still have a soft spot for Digimon. Time Stranger’s ending made me cry. It’s not a game for everyone, but it might just be my personal GOTY, and a Digimon game for fans and first timers.

Bandai Namco surprisingly hitting it out of the park at this direct. Very excited to add Omnimon Alter-S to my team.

I had heard Time Stranger had a pretty big dump of side quests in the end game, but I didn’t expect to end up with like…. 20 of them. I also didn’t expect to spend my entire play session tonight in the arena. At least I’ve got the Omni Sword, so I’ve got Imperialdramon PM locked in.

oh my god

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Desvinny Island

I’m…. Not on this one. But my wife is! She might be better at this than I am.

I’m pretty sure the new Katamari game referenced Golden Boy randomly. So this is surprisingly timely. Maybe the universe is telling me to watch Golden Boy.

I’m so excited for this. These movies are so great and the original English releases are wildly rare. (I was there when they dropped too!!) Now we just need a proper Tamers Blu-Ray release!!

It's been a longstanding wish of mine that more Digimon movies would get a home video release. Bent the universe to make this happen as good as it could. The effort was very much worth it. Super excited that more people will get to enjoy these in just 2 months! Said the wait would be short!

Wrote this piece about how much I love puzzles in horror games. I think puzzles are super important for the genre!!

It is time. (properly this time)

My daughter can’t tell the difference between Mickey and Minnie, and she doesn’t even acknowledge me trying to correct her. “Go go Mickey!” “That’s Minnie honey.” “Go go Mickey!” “🫠. Go go Mickey.”

My Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter review (or review in progress at least) is in this one! Been loving the game so far, I’ll be slow to finish since this rush of games is so much, but it’s truly one of the best JRPGs you can play!

My first written review is up! Static Dread was a fun time!

Talked about Digimon on this one! And hey that’s my cat in the thumbnail!

Holy shit. As someone very new to the whole “writing about games” thing (got my second review code last week and I’m NOT saying what it is until the release date lol), this is just wild to me. I don’t need a journalism degree to err on the side of caution.

Sonic and Kingdom Hearts, how do you know my activation keywords?!

I can’t repeat this enough. Anyone that doesn’t have faith in Silent Hill f needs to read these two yesterday. I’m only on Chapter 7 of Higurashi but this man can cook, I don’t care what the gameplay in f is, the story is going to give 2 a run for its money.

I grabbed this game a while ago but it’s just been in my backlog. This is a really good push to get around to playing it sometime lol.

For the most part I don’t think the Cyberspace stages are good. But every once in a while I find one that I can hit a good flow state on.

Stock videos of people eating in reverse

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.

It is midnight and I swear I heard what sounds like someone jumping on a trampoline somewhere on my street. I don’t care, my daughter’s noise machine is cranked up so high it won’t wake her up, so go off. But like…. Why? Is it a trampoline? Is it something else? Like go inside, please.

Mario Kart World…. Might have my new favorite Rainbow Road? Might be recency bias, but just finished my first Special Cup run and that was a blast.

Anytime someone says that a narrative “falls off” after a certain point, I fully expect to eat that shit up like a chocolate chip cookie. I almost always love weird plot twists that turn most people off.

Just pre ordered a GameCube Switch 2 controller with no issue. Just like…. Forgot I didn’t even try to get one during the initial drops, and just went to the site and pre ordered with no issue.

Started Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the only thing I really knew about it beforehand was that it’s the controversial one and Pyra/Mythra in Smash. The whole sky ocean/pirate vibe is absolutely hitting for me and I think combat is clicking better than it ever did in XC1 surprisingly.

Every time I hear the bit of Aerith’s theme in No Promises to Keep I just about start sobbing. Everyone in the pit at the concert in Boston was lucky we didn’t get the vocal version. I think recovering from food poisoning is the only reason why I didn’t from the orchestra version.

Okay, yeah I knew it.

Im going to guess the keys to the GB account were taken away from the crew. Something about this doesn’t read like it was written by one of them.

Man, Giant Bomb dying has genuinely hurt. I’ll be following those guys where ever they go next. Fuck (non-sexual) Fandom, and every other Corpo asslicker that’s given them trouble in the past.

Hotter tip! Adding -ai to your search still runs the AI in the background, just doesn't display it. But you can change your browser's default search engine to www.google.com/search?q=%s&... and remove it entirely. on Chrome, settings > search engine > add site search > make default

I'm so happy my wife managed to be the one to get the Switch 2 preorder in for us because I got the PS5 deep in the shortages and I'm so glad she understands the same thrill I felt back then. It's like a drug. I don't know when we're going to bed tonight.

I’ve not been officially diagnosed with something like ADHD or something. But the fact I’m playing 7 games at once, will be absolutely starting Expedition 33 when it comes out on Thursday, and I’m basically tricking my wife into talking me out of starting more has to count for something.

I got all four wisdom teeth extracted today and feel like I’ve been hit by truck, but I’ve had ice cream 3 different times today so it hasn’t been so bad.

My name is John Dragonborn.

The way this guy is copy-pasting the same response to every critique is some next level pettiness. Goddamn man, it’s Saturday afternoon, go out and treat yourself! Oh right; the economy’s in the shitter. Fair play, keep it up.

I'm losing my mind

We’re just innocent men

How does this happen? It’s not like it’s some complex licensing web. This is WB’s product, this is just WB sneaking up on itself and shooting themselves in the back of the head. I hate our streaming dystopia so much.

I love physical games but the amount of misinformation I see from even minor network blips like this is insane. Turn on offline play! Just check your settings BEFORE an outage like this!

Starting my 2025 media thread! I just do mine monthly but I could be talked into making individual posts if it’s preferred. I just keep this in my Notes app and take a screenshot of it every month. Feel free to ask about my opinion on anything! #mediathread2025

We’re just normal men

In craving something where you beat up Nazis after…. Recent events and Great Circle isn’t on PS5 but they just added this to PS Plus. Is it decent? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone breathe a word about any past Indy games.

Not only did we misunderstand the question (this is VERY boomer) but it’s also a fundamental misunderstanding of what video games are from a really obvious non gamer. And that’s not even getting into the fact that even if there is violence it can be used in an artful and constructive way.
