I am honour-bound by will of the Shogunate to inform the youth that Cruelty Squad is *90%* off.

Manifesting GTA VI to be the biggest flop in human history

'Grand Theft Auto 6' opens this weekend with sales totalling $37. "Fuuuuck dude we beefed it this game cost so much money" says an official statement from Rockstar Games

15. Metro 2033 Redux: What a banger. Really just a solid shooter the whole way through. Love being rewarded with Good Boy Points just for hidden interactions, didn't get enough for the good ending though. Just a perfect conglomeration of mechanics and story to really immerse you in the world.

Big Naturals The Hedgehog

14. Monster Hunter Stories This grew on me in a way I wasn't really anticipating, though retrospect, "Turn based Monster Hunter RPG" is an obvious slam dunk. Considering it's a 3DS port it looks phenomenal, so bright and colourful, and it's anime as well. Very fun battles and just a joy to explore

Just finishing up Interior Worlds by @sodaraptor.bsky.social and I think it's the only game ever to actually understand what makes liminal spaces intoxicating to be in. Will add a separate reply to my thread once I play through again but will also make a thread of photo highlights from my journeys.

instead of using generative AI, we should all generate more AI (japanese for love) am i right guys

The fact that Backrooms got made at all is a miracle in itself, but the fact that it's so solid for so much of the runtime is some kind of double miracle. Goodass movie that grinds to a halt when it comes time to wrap up and only partially recovers.

13. Automaton Lung One of the final 3DS games released weirdly, very very good level based exploration and collectathon game. No hand holding, esoteric and strange environments to explore, very liminal almost Mario 64 vibes to some levels. Strong recommend, cleared in 4 hours and thoroughly enjoyed

worms in my brain gotta get em out

Kath & Kim on the timeline nature is healing

12. Went through my biannual "rabidly play 60 hours of Dwarf Fortress over two weeks" phase on my Steam Deck, works so well on it. Messed around with the new trap, diplomacy and siege systems, bolt throwers are OP as hell. Retired my fort as the new capital which seemed like a good place to stop.

Still 11. God it took a minute but I finally 100%'d Death Stranding 2 and yep it's just one of the best games I've ever played. So much more freedom to approach stealth and combat and makes me very excited to live long enough for Kojima's next real stealth title.

This is bluesky. We don't talk about twitter here. We talk about the Matador as seen in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Charge him with all your strength! Your horns cannot pierce his soul!

This is me playing Roller Coaster Tycoon. #AEWCollision

How did you get so cool, Kim?

They need to stop trying to legitimise big budget multi year adaptations of game franchises. An Elden Ring movie should be directed by Paul WS Anderson and involve Milla Jovovich accidentally being sent to the Lands Between.

It feels like something's gotta change.

cant even do gay mcr bits without just earnestly blasting famous last words full volume because it is of course the greatest rock song of the 2000s

Man who has been to exactly one rodeo before and doesn't understand colloquialisms; "This *ain't* my first Rodeo!"

Exactly as generational a track as it was in 2007, historic banger.

this cures what ails me every time

No matter how hard times get, Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast will always be there for you

Oh someone's getting fired

Kids today don't know that zydrate comes in a little glass vial

Volume Three of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection contains: Portable Ops and Plus, Acid 1+2, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, a physical UMD copy of The Bourne Identity, Lumines, Ape Escape: On The Loose and Metal Gear Survive. There will be a paid DLC to replace Survive with Ground Zeroes.

Breaking Valkyrie Saga out into its own post now that I've 100% all known stuff to do. Unbelievably fun to explore, so many secrets to find, just a complete joy to play. Very very strongly recommend.

Retro 3D open world RPG Dread Delusion set to release for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2026: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/19543-retro-3d-open-world-rpg-dread-delusion-set-to-release-for-playstation-xbox-nintendo-switch-2-in-2026

This is such a well-written look at Quake Brutalism Jam 3, a game I wish I had a lifetime to explore.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh man, he looks so devastatingly *cool* with that cigarette. YOU - “How did you get so cool, Kim?”

This store description of Highguard's round progression feels like a protracted Onion bit what do you mean it's only 3v3 but the game description is 10 paragraphs long???

Forspoken was out 3 years ago (in 2023); one of two games by Luminous team along with FF15. Set in a fantasy world where battle & movement mechanics rely on magic-infused running, jumping, and elemental combos...I want more magic parkour games! 💎 Review: www.rpgfan.com/game/forspok...

People are sharing uncensored video of a murder onto my timeline so gotta clear out some follows I guess.

Guess I'll start a games thread for the year so I don't forget literally everything I play by June

Vouch, Forspoken is so much fun when you don't have a guy in your ear telling you the dialogue is shit (it's not great who gives a fuck!)

This is such a funny and interesting run every year, there's literally a line of people out the door waiting to shuffle in.

No matter how good of a writer you are, you will never be as powerful as a Dragon Quest localizer.

Welcome to the first ever FISHING MINIGAME OF THE YEAR AWARDS!! This is an award show to showcase what I believe to be the best of the year in a bunch of fishing minigame related categories! Every game will be linked to and the developers tagged (if possible) #fishingminigame #indiegame #gameawards

The logical conclusion of the increase of shiny odds in recent gens is that I was able to get a full box of shinies from one hyperspace distortion. Won't be doing this technique again, takes all the fun out of it!
