🌸 Issue 459 of Hanafuda Report is out now: hanafuda.report/issues/459/

“We can’t give in to fear. If we run, then what happened to us will happen to others. The world won’t be safe. So we have to be strong. And we have to keep going.” Beautiful work, @timmonbleau.bsky.social 💖 kotaku.com/dragon-quest...

When the illustrious @timmonbleau.bsky.social isn’t powering through video games at max difficulty level to bring you the best possible hot takes and guides, he can be found in his natural habitat. Contemplating in the woods, and/or searching for the best lobster rolls or pizza available to him.

I know being anti-AI isn't brave, but I can't stand tech bros going "with AI you can talk to grandma again!" I spent nearly a decade caring for my grandparents as I watched them deteriorate. Their AI ghosts won't fix me, but a world that offered them the care and dignity they deserved would have.

Oh my gosh #squareenix #culinarian #whitemage?

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

You don’t mess with the Zohran

Thank you to my handsome model, @timmonbleau.bsky.social, for letting me stretch my photography legs!

Everyone: “Kyra, stop posting photos in black and white” Me: “Never”

Hey, I'm on this show today! Catch me talking about HD2D games on Axe of the Blood God! #blutoid

I just made the mistake of opening my car door in front of a crowded Panera Bread while I had the Undertale OST blasting and now there are several people staring at me as I type this.

wait until you see the later stages

Great work, dad!

I am cringe but I am free

Me when I beat @timmonbleau.bsky.social at Mario cart

Thank you GamesRadar+ for inviting me to help out with Switch 2 coverage! I spent my weekend exhaustively testing which Dash Food unlocks which outfits in Mario Kart World, give this a look if you need to complete your collection!

Anyone seen #jeffbridges lately? I have his Coke Zero.

It gives me solace knowing that Pope Francis's last public words were unmistakable and clear: we must care for the poor; we must care for the migrant; we must stand with the victims of violence; we must free political prisoners; we must make an end to war and oppression and end hatred.

I feel it’s only right to also figure out Donald’s star sign now

But where WAS Donald Duck on D Day? #axeofthebloodgodpod

Hey everyone! You can catch me LIVE on Axe of the Blood God today in a very special episode focused on Black Mages. Check it out! #blutoid

Stay strong little one 🐥🩷 #art | #cottagecore | #duck

Also, if your outlet is in need of guides or other coverage of Assassin's Creed: Shadows and beyond, my DMs are open! I've been happy to write clear, authoritative, and fun-to-read tips and tricks as both a Guide Editor and a Freelancer, and I'm open to more work now. Recent samples below!

Everyone gangster until they're wearing a romper and have to use a public restroom.

Just saw a patch of Aurora Borealis by complete accident tonight, so naturally I stood outside looking up at the sky in the cold quietly quoting Steamed Hams to myself. #blutoid

I didn’t necessarily intend to play as Hatsune Miku in Monster Hunter Wilds but it just kind of happened. #blutoid

I don't have the energy to build an account on yet another social platform, so if ya'll could just like and follow without me doing any work that'd be neat.

Cloud in FF7: Rebirth sounds so much like a tired dad at times.

She's in someone's locket (1940's).

Regice is just me when I’m at a social event and I don’t see anyone I know.

I want to write more about games this year, and I'm starting with this feature about Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors: Origins for PC Gamer. He's such a clever recurring boss that he made me confront why I was even playing the game. Spoilers: Zenos from Final Fantasy XIV was right about me. #blutoid

As always, Tim Monbleau shows through the merit of his work just how intellectual and thoughtful his works are. Please give this a read!

Technically uploaded this for professional purposes, but I'm sharing by itself because pursuing Lu Bu when the game tells you not to was my favorite part of Dynasty Warriors Origins. Might have more words to share about this in the future.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is a very good video game #blutoid

Final Fantasy fans of Bluesky, I have an important question to ask. How do you pronounce Marche? #blutoid

Nikki in Infinity Nikki can fire projectiles, use a charge shot, and gain new abilities by changing her outfit. I have no choice but to consider this one of the best Mega Man games of 2024. #blutoid

Spending my Saturday watching my girlfriend break every box she can see in Dragon Age The Veilguard shouting “WHERE’S MY LOOT EA!?!?” #blutoid

I've generally enjoyed playing Dragon Quest III HD-2D, and it's *probably* the best way to experience Dragon Quest III today. That said, in trying to make the game bigger, the HD-2D remake removes the conciseness that makes Dragon Quest III so fun to return to. Consider this a review. 🧵(1/12)

Did the Death Note ever have any restrictions on what you wrote for someone’s cause of death? Like, did anything stop Light from writing like “This person dedicates their life to finding world peace, never does anything wrong again, and dies peacefully in their sleep at the age of 1000”?

Never forget the earthquake of April 5, 2024.
