The last 48 hours have seen the following games all released that I want to play after 2 months of nothing: - Mewgenics - Romeo is a Dead Man - Crisol: Theater of Idols - Diablo II: Reign of the Warlock (!!!!) Come on, man.

Devs releasing games apart from each other challenge: level impossible

Okay, I DO NOT take back some of the shit I talked on Romeo Is A Deadman. BUT tonight, with a nice nap and feeling a bit better and, more importantly, being able to play the game and not waste time in visual novel bullshit, I better see the vision and it's gone from a like 4/10 to a 6. Climbin' up!

I feel this review. Thank god there is someone else who is frustrated by how the game is aggressively mid and can't pretend that just because it's stylish as hell it isn't a bad experience. What sucks is the boss fights are actually neat. Everything on the ship fucking sucks.

Damnit, Romeo Is A Deadman is cool but also kind of garbage. I'm trying to reconcile how much the style is overwriting terribly paced gameplay and "LULZ SO RANDOM" writing because the style is sick and there's good in there but it's so obnoxious and annoying.

At this point, I think I'mma just play all the Mega Man games to get ready for Dual Override next year

Mega Man IV on game boy finished. That game is actually good! Crystal Man stage is some of the worst bullshit I've seen in game design in my life but the rest is super solid! ALSO THEY CHECKPOINT AT WILY HOLY SHIT WHAT AMAZING DEVS :)

Anyone else install 3-4 games you're "totally gonna play" only to uninstall them 8 months later?

Began the dive into the Game Boy Mega Man games. MM1 GB fucking sucks. It plays like shit, it's made by assholes and dying on Wily means I have to do both the Wily 1 and 2 and the refights. MM2 GB undid some ill will I had from 1, but it's rough. The music is terrible. MM3 final half is shit too.

There we go, good run in Wicked Seed, current WR but I expect it to be beaten by @ecdycis.bsky.social anytime soon. Lots of small mistakes that can be tightened up, going for sub 1:20:00 next I guess

Trying to get under 90min, got close... took 2 really stupid bad deaths, next run will tightenit up

Mega Man VI done. I think the endgame for that is one of my favorites, real cool X/Wily bosses and stages. Best Jet and Power upgrades. Music is kinda meh compared to the others. The best controlling by far... They really stepped up their game since MM3.

Started the process of speedrunning Wicked Seed tonight with my first routing run. Went kind of awful, but excited to try to optimize now going forward.

The Muppet Show being back is such a beacon of light at the end of the shit-stained tunnel that is the 2020s. I hope someone rips it to tiktok and Instagram reels so the kids of today might actually watch it. It made me want to rewatch my old favs so now up is the Kenny Rogers episode.

Mega Man V went fine tonight, pretty easy but good. Super unmemorable but music was kind of great. After I just decided to play around in the Wily Wars and ended playing through that games' remakes of Mega Man 1 and 2. That game fucking sucks. It's laggy as shit and the songs are worse.

After the absolute shit fest that Mega Man 2 turned into yesterday (not because it's bad but because it fucked me up) it was nice tonight to run through the game I grew up with, Mega Man III, real easy-like and even squeeze in Mega Man IV, my recent obsession, in a row. Tomorrow Mega Man V!

That's the problem with the PS5; it doesn't tell you how many bits it is on the front.

Mega Man 4 is a criminally underrated Mega Man game. The whole classic series to be honest is slept on besides Mega Man 2 and 3

I miss the first decade of WoW. Classic into TBC into Wrath is peak gaming that will never happen again.

My new Hollow Knight desk mat finally came in (ordered 3 weeks ago)

So we started The Pitt a couple days ago and after 12 hours of binging over the last 48 hours I think it might be one of the best shows from last year. 3 more episodes left.

Rest in peace Catherine O'Hara. Sad news 😔

The other night I learned my Spider-Man (SNES) speedruning record that had stood for 9 years had been overcome. Tonight I shattered that new record. youtu.be/0f994JJ0GL8

I just learned about how in the show E.R., a helicopter not only cuts off a character's arm but later on comes back to kill the same character in a different season. Holy fuck now THAT'S writing!

Got through 3 episodes of Wonder Man tonight and really enjoying it but it is extremely slow. If any actors even slightly less engaging than Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley were cast, it would be unbearable but they're so good I'm enjoying the burn.

Wicked Seed tilted the fuck outta me tonight. I should have shelved it hours ago but I stubbornly wanted to get through a shitty fight and wasn't gonna sleep until I got it. Despair difficulty is gonna kick the shit outta me.

And just like that, the sumo basho is over for another month. Great start to the year so far, can't wait to see how he does going forward! Fantasy league results:

Men would rather watch Jason X than go to therapy

ffs my order has been stuck trying to leave Spain for 10 days now. I will never listen to anyone who says customs in Canada is brutal because this is fucking ridiculous.

Happy "Wicked Seed Release Day" (WSRD) for those who celebrate. youtu.be/y5OAW6g8SwE

Watching them talk about Fable today was like how I "remembered" Fable/Fable 2 being in my memory... even though it was physically impossible back then to accomplish. I am very intrigued to see if they stick the landing. Cautiously optimistic for it!

Yeap, it's official... I spent 5 hours tonight playing the Wicked Seed demo. Despair difficulty is kinda fucked but fun in it's own way as well. Also, it gives you the Jill costume so it's the most important thing in the world.

@okvideo.bsky.social we joked about it but apparently this was a thing....

The best review of Beast Games I've seen.

Wicked Seed is legitimately the type of game I love; indie survival horror with plenty of fan service and decent mechanics with just enough jank to be charming but not enough to be annoying. Can't wait for the full game in a couple days. Well done, @deadrightgames.bsky.social!

Fuck. I know Payday 3 isn't well received but I really like Payday 2 and 3 and I'm watching the potential future of one of my fav games die :(

Mega Man Rock N Roll is completed, including the Proto Man thing that I was too tilted to do last night. I said some things I regret out of anger at that game but the whole time I had a good time, it was frustrating as hell and one of the best fan games I've ever played.

Honestly this motherfucker right here surely single-handedly made them change this ability. If you've seen the way he abused that shit in the demo, holy christmas.

This was on my Top 3 Demos of 2025. If you like VVVVVV and want something that seems like it's gonna have a dark story/atmosphere this is one to get excited for. @brlka.com killed it

We can start this discussion, Steam, when that 30% becomes a 50% off. Or, better yet, 70%+

I went ahead and ordered one of those desk mats they advertise on Instagram reels sometimes. What's the over/under that I just threw away a bunch of money? I'm thinking 60/40

Turned my review into a youtube short youtube.com/shorts/pJf9u...

I was told yesterday Nintendo had their Switch Year in Review thing where they give you stats on what you played since 2017. I spent a little bit of time looking over that stuff youtu.be/2R4YSL81BuA

Cool, Twitch just giving anyone the fucking Umbrella logo badge sure is cool as someone who has the Umbrella logo as a sub badge. God. Damnit.

Remember The Kid Detective? That movie is fucking awesome. I want to rewatch it.

Had a bunch of stuff I ordered all come in together. Pretty good haul. The 35th Anniversary steelbook 4K BR for Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead, a copy of My Bloody Banjo from @refusefilms.bsky.social and my copy of Hand-Drawn Game Guides: Mega Man from @heyphilsummers.bsky.social

I saw a few people talking some mad shit about the demo for Parasite Mutant which reminds me that not everyone grew up with peak gameplay of Parasite Eve and that this is probably going to fall flat for a whole generation. If you're my generation though, it's so sick. youtu.be/S9jqL-vg1xA

In better news though, Parasite Mutant demo showcased that that game is, indeed, Parasite Eve for 2026 and that's fucking awesome! store.steampowered.com/app/3983000/...

Finally got around to playing through all of the Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit and the best thing about that game is that James looks like he's having fun in the FMV skits. That game sucks.

I'm actually washed. I just can't beat Gascoigne anymore. Sure, he's like the only "difficult" early boss for a long time but I've done 3 attempts and got effed. I just can't do it anymore. Also, I forgot you can run out of ammo in this stupid thing so "parries" need to be farmed
