Goat stew and jollof rice from a local West African restaurant. 🔥

I think something the internet needs to remember is that its okay to criticize or defend products on the internet. Thats kind of what we're here to do, share our opinions. What's not okay is shitting on people who disagree. And yes this is about #PokemonFRLG

Kinda torn on #PokemonFRLG. When I saw it this morning it was an automatic buy for me. (And knowing my impulsiveness it probably still will be if I'm honest with myself lol) But there's not much incentive to replay. I'm more likely to play it on Switch but I think I'd rather just randomize it. Hm.

I have no intention to replay it but maybe I'll do the post game content now. That said is this the first Switch 2 Edition without any new content whatsoever? Feels bad.

Is the music in other Xenoblade games as good as X? Because I liked that game alright, but I'd even play Call of Duty for another soundtrack that slaps this hard. (I really hate Call of Duty)

If I go to one more Professional Development where they give me an unreasonable task then tell me to get excited because AI can make it easier I'm going to scream.

This some of that Inaba murder fog.

You know how they say that pixel art was developed with CRT scan lines in mind? Maybe I'm crazy the Sons of Sparta artstyle looks like if pixel art had originally been developed for HD and I really dig it. #StateOfPlay

Post one of your fav games that got 75 or less on Metacritic

Damn it I'm gonna buy #Pokopia aren't I?

Mitchell you have to play the game you just spent money on. Mitchell you have like 3 half-finished games lying around. Mitchell you don't have time for games you already beat before. Whoops I slipped. #FireEmblem

If you could only play 10 games for the rest of your life, which 10 would you pick? 1) Minecraft 2) Stardew Valley 3) Super Smash Bros Ultimate 4) Jackbox Party Pack 3 5) Pokemon Emerald (Hacked) 6) Celeste 7) Hades 8) WWE 2K 9) Tears of the Kingdom 10) Fire Emblem Three Houses

The perfect RPG difficulty is a game where you lose against 30-40 percent of the bosses no more than 2-3 times, and you are able to defeat them by changing your strategy rather than just grinding. Obviously this varies on a person's skills, but that's the sweet spot to me. 🤌

I'll go ahead and put my two cents out there, I don't think we see a full Nintendo Direct until June. Indie World? Absolutely. Isolated trailers? Sure. Title directs? Possibly. But no full direct. Hope I'm wrong though.

The main reasons I was thinking about making DQ7R a Saturday game was because I wanted to finish MHS2 before 3 came out...but mostly because I was having an aggressively "okay" time with it. But I kept dipping my toe in anyway, and after the portion about the Roamers something clicked, I'm all in.

Please back this!

After getting Dragon Quest on a Game-Key Card I think I've discerned that solely having the plastic case doesn't do as much for me if the game isn't on the card. My brain is not tricked. There are still reasons to get GKCs (sharing, reselling) but those don't really apply to me. (1 of 2)

I want to move to a walkable city just so I can play my #Switch2 on public transit during my daily commute. Seems like the dream.

Been thinking about it, & people keep talking about how episodic #DragonQuest7 is, I think I may just use that as a Saturday game. Like Saturday morning cartoons. An "episode" a week. Maybe even get some cereal. Then I can clear half-finished games like Monster Hunter Stories during the week.

Can't believe I idealized my (admittedly stellar) trip to Portland when I could create some of that magic back home. This place is definitely gonna be my summer hangout come break. 🔥 #brewery #nintendoswitch2 #monsterhunterstories

🧵: I've been thinking about it. And maybe I don't need multiplats on Switch 2. For years I preferred Switch for portability, which is still a nice option. But if I'm truly honest, I don't need it anymore. I have the TV to myself way more frequently than I used to. (Part 1 of 3)

There's been a series of walkouts to protest ICE across high schools in my city lately and the Facebook comment sections are so cooked. They're allegedly all being indoctrinated to *checks notes*...stand up to authority. Hm. 🙄

Alright, I did my fair share of facing reality with Persona. Now it's time to escape it and just go on a fun little adventure. #DragonQuest

I touched my first Game-Key Card and my skin didn't even burn off or anything. #DragonQuestVIIReimagined

@brinkofgaming.bsky.social @hylian.bsky.social The duality of man lol. #NintendoDirect #PartnerShowcase

So no Expedition 33 or Metaphor Refantazio. Boo. #NintendoDirect #PartnerShowcase

You all failed me.

I need someone to deinfluence me. Convince me I don't need #DragonQuest7Reimagined, I can play one of the myriad of RPGs I already own. And that I dont need #WWE2K26 next month just because CM Punk is featured and I want it to do well on the #Switch2, I can play the 2K25 I haven't touched yet. 🤔

I guess a Partner Direct makes sense even if its not as fun. We know Nintendo's release schedule through April, w/ 1 more game still slated for Spring (so probably May) & 3-4 more preannounced exclusives that can be promoted individually to cover through Sep. They can wait to reveal holiday titles.

The Ultra Beast artist is named Yusuke and he spoke in avant-garde language to justify his direction? Pssht...thought he could trick us by changing his last name. 😏

I nearly got every social link but one in #Persona5Royal. If i had just waited to go to the last palace I could've finished one more. Old habits die hard i guess lol. All but 2 is still pretty impressive though, if i do say so myself.

I'm starting to have second thoughts on DQ7R but I already took a personal day on Friday. 🤔

Snow days where I take Vyvanse, drink coffee anyway, then play Persona 5 are the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm on speed.

They really did a bad job pitching this in that Pokémon Presents because this is stellar! It may take me 20 years but I will go to Japan before I die. 😮‍💨

I like to think that when ICE sympathizers play #AceAttorney they get can't make it past Payne, get confused, and give up.

Perhaps this doesnt actually do anything...but it is important to me to state clearly and publicly that what ICE is doing is a violation of human rights, an abuse of power, and flat-out a series of torture/murder. (1 of 2)

Last night I made it 90% of the way through the Shido fight and then got OHKO'd even with buff management/healing so thats fun lol. #Persona5Royal

Abolish ICE. Now and forever.

Toying with the idea of starting up another #AceAttorney and abandoning any hope of finishing Demonschool someday lol. I feel bad but its what the blizzard would want. After last January Ace Attorney has mega snow-game vibes for me. 🫡

I keep trying to watch TikTok but I'm afraid to without reading the new Muhrica Terms of Service.

This palace ruler just keeps OHKO'ing me when the right damage calc rolls even with boosted defense and decreased attack. Super frustrating. But also compelling. #Persona5Royal

Last night after holding out for so long in a palace, I finally spent my only Chewing Soul...just for the game to send me back to change their cognition one battle later. 🙄 #Persona5Royal

Being transparent here...but I think one of my biggest struggles as a white man who tries to be the best ally I can...is when people want me to physically fight back or be more angry. (1 of 2)

I already feel strongly that #DragonQuest VII Reimagined will be at least my 2nd favorite game in the series. Obviously way premature take. But this demo is scratching the 11S itch in a way none of the others have since I started binging the series.

Not really a "NEVER GAME-KEY CARD!" guy. Don't love them, but I understand them. My real struggle is when trying to make the optimal "vote w/ my wallet" I can't decide. I don't want them to think I view GKCs the same as physical, but I also don't want them to think I want an all digital future.

Last night was rad. Went to see Jason Dunn live, who was one of my childhood heroes. (Former frontman of Hawk Nelson) It was only like 30 people so we all got to talk to him & during the show I could hear our voices singing together. He even called me a legend for knowing all the lyrics lol.

Everything hurts.

I went to a concert out of town last night, didn't get to sleep until around midnight, and still came to work the next morning. I'm basically in college again.

Its about time! #NintendoSwitch2025

I low-key want to go back to using my Switch OLED more. It's lighter than the Switch 2 and the screen is so vibrant. I understand why those things are different about the Switch 2, but if I'm not playing an exclusive or something that runs like trash on the OG, why wouldnt I opt for it?
