I will never underestimate a 7-Eleven Japanese sandwich again.

I have no idea why these comparisons keep happening. 🤔

I have officially placed Lost Records in the “I really wish I liked this more” category. Great characters, but I don’t think the performances are very good and the pace is slooooooooooooow. Excited to try Aphelion though.

My brain is really putting me through the ringer tonight. Anxiety is a bitch.

Good morning kiddos! Don’t forget to start your Thursday mornings with 15 minutes of gaming impressions, news, and tales of a GenX geek! Today I’m playing the typing royale game, Final Sentence. Plus a Pokopia update and news! Have a rad day!! ☀️☕️ 🎙️ audioboom.com/posts/889442...

NEW: I spoke to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty about where they want to take Xbox Lots here, going through the manifesto they published yesterday Free piece, with a transcript available for paying Game File subscribers later today www.gamefile.news/p/xbox-asha-...

Regardless of how things go, I’m very glad that Xbox isn’t throwing in the towel.

I feel like picking your mommy to run your HR department is a bad idea.

Video games have always used “AI”. That’s not what people have a problem with. It’s the kind of AI that destroys the environment for the sake of giving us shitty Glamour Shots Resident Evil that sucks.

To give you an indication of how my day is going, when I got to work this morning it was raining. … inside the building.

It’s super annoying how I’m constantly not winning the lottery.

Damn. That moved fast! lol I don’t love certain games not being included in GP. BUT my wallet will appreciate having that $84 back.

I think Elden Ring is pretty wildly overrated, but if they went full Jim Henson’s Creature Shop with this movie I’d be totally down.

What do you think has been the most nauseating trend? Cryptocurrency? NFTs? Generative AI? or Prediction Markets?

This is why I can’t see Xbox reversing course on exclusivity. Their games sell well on other platforms. I don’t see how they just give that up.

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

Exit 8 is one of the most successful video game adaptions I’ve seen. It’s both incredibly faithful to the game while also adding its own twists. Hear my full thoughts on today’s show! @neon-rated.bsky.social 🎙️ audioboom.com/posts/889065...

Lessons from game night: 1. Do not try out a new THC soda when you’re playing ‘We Didn’t Playtest This At All’ for the first time. 2. Not following lesson 1 may lead to you being too stoned and agreeing to join a D&D campaign for the very first time.

As someone who is pretty antisocial, going to the neighbors for game night is a pretty massive undertaking. Thoughts and prayers please

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

Listen, at the risk of sounding like I’ve been drinking the Kool Aid… the idea that Game Pass is somehow not as good of a service (separate from price) as it used to be is so bonkers. Yes, they f’ed up raising the price but the amount of great day one releases is BONKERS.

It’s new podcast eve! Tomorrow’s show is loaded and ready to roll! See you in the morning!

Has anyone been playing Flight Sim ‘24 on console lately? I went back to 2020 because it ran so much better, but I’d love to go back if they ever get all the issues ironed out.

The idea that as a person with health insurance, you would be expected to pay a third of the cost of a surgery deemed medically necessary by your doctor UP FRONT before they’ll perform it, seems… just grotesque.

Minnesota ass forecast

There are two turkeys outside just sitting up in a tree like… 30 feet in the air. I legit didn’t know they could do that.

I truly don’t know which is more likely. A) Guy Fieri is a piece of shit who hangs out with rapists and human traffickers. B) Guy Fieri is too stupid to know who he is and why he shouldn’t be yucking it up with him. Both seem equally likely.

I don’t know why, but I find the people who complain about there being too many “dad games” so silly. 😂 As if the market is just saturated with them.

Does anyone actually delete photos from their phone? I have 8500 pics/videos still on there dating back to 2016. For some reason I cannot bring myself to delete them.

Capcom is kinda crushing it this year, huh?

Everyone seems incredibly invested in Hungarian politics today. lol

I haven’t given it much thought recently, but the list I published in 2018 was this: 1. Breath of the Wild 2. Silent Hill 2 3. Super Mario 64 4. Link to the Past 5. Super Mario World 6. Left 4 Dead 2 7. The Last of Us 8. Rock Band 9. Firewatch 10. Red Dead Redemption

Well that was a really cool movie!

You’ll never find anyone who has worked harder at this than Danny. He’s the GOAT 🐐

I had the day off today and I played an EMBARRASSING amount of Pokopia.

Pokémon Pokopia is the first Pokemon game that I’ve truly become invested in. It combines elements of Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Viva Piñata 😳 to make something truly addicting. 🎙️ audioboom.com/posts/888499...

Happy Thursday kiddos! On this morning’s program I’m talking about Pokemon Pokopia, State of Decay 3 news, and Minneapolis has its own (for real) vigilante superhero! Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have an awesome day. 😁 🎙️ audioboom.com/posts/888499...

Oh yeah, this is gonna be f’ing great.

I can’t describe what art is, but I know it when I see it.

Hey, game developer mates! Very specific request, please! I am looking to know alongside am open to speak with game developers that were/are based in India, and were living/based in India from early pandemic, quarantine, and lockdowns until now! If you or know anybody that fits—please, reach out!

I’m very curious to see how this plays out over the next couple of years.
