lara croft is batman + indiana jones

i keep going missing from socials, and i'm ready to admit that there's a *really* good reason for that family stuff has been pretty rough for the better part of the last 12 months. 2025 isn't done with me yet 1/2

happy holidays, folks

someone tried to trigger me by saying that die hard wasn't a christmas movie and it worked

with a new mega man game on the horizon, i decided to dive back into mega man 11 and, lemme just say, these Wily stages are a trip

this is pretty gross. instead, buy a use game boy and mod it. it's way cheaper, fun, and i promise it'll be worth more to you than this abomination in the end. and, best of all, modding your own retro console won't tangentially support a particularly gross arms dealer.

tomb raider more like twomb raider am i right guys

if i start a new podcast in 2026, you better be nice about it

rowlf referencing discord in song was indeed not on my bingo card

now, more than ever, is a great time to become obsessed with indie games

alls i'm saying is that i think it'd be cool to go to the game awards one day

normalize sending your friends on vaguely worded adventures in the open world games that they're playing

just finished Ghost of Yōtei, and i think i loved it. the music rules, its art direction is stunning, and the combat was just right everything is so cinematic!

i've been enjoying moonlighter 2's early access! it's a perfect blend of coziness with some truly good combat. so far, moonlighter 2 is everything i loved about the first game. happy to be back in its world

i put down ARC Raiders long enough to record and edit a video about it 😮‍💨 ▶️ youtu.be/7zj5gcKMIeM

my activity online has been spotty at best. at the bare minimum, i've been streaming my way through ghost of yōtei. but, posting videos on youtube has screeched to a halt. i'm excited to slowly build that habit back up! it'll take time, but anything worth doing is like that

my current arc raiders experience

i think i need that steam machine and controller 🫠 also... did valve just save the entire VR gaming scene from meta? youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE?...

celebrated my birthday with good friends and video games. turning 40 was kinda rad, tbh

the six one folks are amazing, give their new co-op horror game a look-see!

i've been loving ghost of yōtei lately

fixing my vacuum has made me feel unstoppable

gimme a Pepsi, free

EA is making it a lot easier for me to outright ignore most AAA games

the urge to do a minor channel rebrand just hit like a ton of bricks

i just need to lock the fuck in, i guess

i'd play ball x pit but i still haven't played daemon x machina and i don't want to spoil it

tuesday

dug into peak this afternoon, my first successful climb is in the books!

mission accomplished! my copy of MGS2 is even more signed also, Tasia Velenza (Sniper Wolf's VA) has impeccable memory. we barely met at the photo op for 10 seconds and she remembered me when i met her later for an signing Sniper Wolf remembered my face! 🥰 ... Sniper Wolf remembered my face 😰

heading to #nycc today! Also casually meeting the VO actors from metal gear solid?? gonna see if they can sign more of my copy of MGS2

peak by @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and @landfall.se was a breakout hit over the summer, but i'm only now getting my climbing legs. my skills as a scout need lots of improvement, but the game's approach to failure keeps me coming back! so, i yapped about it in this video youtu.be/QiqWrfvmK58

i'm firing up my streams for a little Ghost of Yotei launch party. things will kick off around 7pm EST it's the beginning of a full playthrough!

my birthday is in november, and my partner just shared a spreadsheet with me labeled "dan's bday" which is the least dan's bday thing that could've happened

i'm tired and really thought the horse was holding a gun

what the heck is everyone playing this weekend, and why is it hades 2?

i have peaked! (on tenderfoot) and it only took a total of 15 hours of attempts

i just spent the entire day playing Discounty 😵‍💫🛒 if you ever wanted to run a Doja Mart, here's your chance

Heard Six One Indie got the Silksong release date for tomorrow’s Showcase.

in the light of this silent hill f embargo thing, it's only now dawning on me that "soulslike" now means "difficult" in the lexicon i always thought a game had to *at least* have the risk of lost progress (experience points, gear, etc) on the table for it to be considered a soulslike

the latest nintendo direct left me with one lingering thought: to nintendo, this isn't year 1 of the switch 2. it's year 8 of the switch family

this game is fun as heck

finally watched the new superman! it's basically a love letter to the 90s cartoon

nintendo is largely responsible for these big back-to-back release dates, and we can't even be that mad better silk that song, gamers! Hades 2 is up next in a couple of weeks

BREAKING: MIYAMOTO IS ENJOYING IT

how do you answer phone calls?

going from a bit of an uploading break to editing a 24 minute video

finally upacked all my thoughts from the first #PAXWest i've ever attended! and, honestly? i can't wait til i can go again ▶️ youtu.be/Kz5VSQL_8b4

did i just record a youtube video????? yes but now, i must edit it
