Been binging Game Changer and have made it to season 7, this might be one of the best seasons of a game show ever, every epsiode so far is among the best of the shows whole run

Can someone please give Guillermo Del Toro the misundertood 7ft monster to sweep him off his feet he so clearly yearns for already

NEW ARTICLE - On Life and Death (Stranding) I played Death Stranding in May/June as part of my ongoing Kojima review series and it overlapped with the some of the final months of my mother's life who I had been caring for for the last 3 years. This article is me unpacking all of that Enjoy.

First draft of the death stranding article done, gonna sit on it for a couple days before I post in case I decide to make some changes, but I think it's turned out pretty good

Finally been in the headspace to write my Death Stranding analysis (2600+ words in so far but will probably cut some stuff that is overly personal) and trying to find the balance of explaining enough of the weird sci fi story beats without it just being a plot recap has been an interesting challenge

Just seen the IGN top 100 Nintendo games that put Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom 1st & 2nd and while I do not agree that's honestly pretty beast Weirdly refreshing when most lists try to make it even across franchises

As someone with the music taste of a depressed 19 y/o lesbian it has taken far too long for me to discover The Marías, been a long time since I discovered an artist that was such an instant vibe match for me

Decided I wanted to try the notoriously difficult Run & Bun pokemon rom hack and figured I may as well stream the attempts to verify if I ever beat it live here: twitch.tv/mijetto

Been getting much more into the NBA over the last couple seasons and I have been having a lot of fun with it but holy choosing a team to support as a mid-20s European getting into the sport is so much harder than it was to pick a football team at the age of like 7

Seated for the ARIatHome stream right now (the guy who walks around NYC creating beats on the fly for random people to freestyle over) got a feeling the vibes are gonna be goood

Did a rank your favourite pokemon thing and you can just see me getting gayer in real time based on the pokemon i like from early gens vs the pokemon I like from later gens

Been playing FF Tactics for the first time with the remake and as someone who ends up analysing narratives through class dialetics by default it's very interesting seeing a game so openly tackle them. In Chapter 3 and can tell I am either going to love or hate this story with no in between

Animal Crossing remains the ultimate recession indicator I see

Someone should make a rage game that is just the authentic experience of learning how to put on liquid eyeliner

#PokemonLegendsZA 100% finally done -42 Main Missions -119 Side Quests -230 Pokémon -63 Megas -All Research Tasks (inc 1000 battles) The game is very fun I recommend it! (Except the 1000 battle grind)

There's a 45 y/o Canadian wine mom losing her mind right now about the Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau relationship

Got the type of anxiety that makes psychological horror such an appealing type of storytelling to me, unfortunately also got the type of anxiety where playing/watching horror stuff can be physically painful

The other thing with Legends:ZA that is cool is it's commentary on gentrification and homelessness, one of the better pokemon stories I think

Not quite done with Legends: ZA yet (at Rank B) but my general thoughts are that this game is pretty damn good. New Mega Designs are largely good, especially the sillier ones. the Xenoblade-esque combat is the most like the anime the games have felt and the Yakuza-style world design fits so well

That one pokemon leak is actually crazy, I really hope it doesn't die in development

AI slop completely overtaking the "playlist of random music that is good for working" genre of video on youtube has at least had the upside of making me listen to game OSTs way more than I usually would Shoutout VA-11 Hall-A in particular, such a good vibe-y soundtrack

Country music is so fascinating as a European (especially a brit at that) because we import so much pop culture from America but country musicians can be unfathomably successful and I will just have 0 idea they exist (this is brought to you by a daily game expecting me to know Zach Bryan)

Wanted to share the @greenparty.org.uk party broadcast from today over here as I hadn't seen it on bsky (in 2 parts the video limit sucks) My entire adult life has been a growing political doomerism as I've watched economic crises, rising hatred and a drastic rightward shift in the overton window.

Ok the ending for Silent Hill f is crazy, really really loved this game excited to try and write something about it Also very excited to go for a new game plus run or two and collect my thoughts there 👀

the new sonic racing game feels like someone just learned what game feel and juiciness was and decided it need to do all of it all the time crazy overstimulating experience

95% of my queer gender expression is just that i call everything i find funny silly (complimentary)

As someone who was terrified for literal years of the weeping angels after seeing their first episode live when i was like 7, fuck the scarecrow sequence in Silent Hill f Should not have played that in the dark 😭

finally seen the OD trailer and it looks unfathomably good

Weird ask maybe, anyone that follows me happen to have a reccommendation for non-fiction about showa era Japanese feminism, between currently playing silent hill f and reading Hiromi Kawakami's The Third Love I'm absorbing a lot of work tackling this era/locale of feminist movements right now

Got the feeling already I'm gonna have a lot to say about SIlent Hill f so gonna keep the impressions to the minimum on the timeline for now but just wanted to point out how wonderfully disturbing the alternate costume descriptions are I physically recoiled reading this

Apparently steam and only steam doesn't have Silent Hill f go live until 5am UK time as opposed to midnight so i guess I am waiting until tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

reviews are good 👀

The Your Party implosion would be very funny if the state of UK politics wasn't so depressing right now

Close enough to the release of Silent Hill f now that I need to reckon with me really fucking with the game's trailers and me having 0 faith in Konami God I hope this game is as interesting as it looks

Had a week of of only ipv6 websites working (p much just google, youtube, gmail) that i thought was a complicated issue on my ISP's end Turns out there was just a slightly loose wire i missed when checking everything a week ago, i am very smart

After the past few weekls (both in the US & UK) I can not tell you how truly cleansing for the soul it was to spend the weekend visiting a friend in gay as fuck Manchester

Far longer ago than i'd like to acknowledge now I had an american friend during my exchange year in Japan. Around that time I had just started being radicalised to the left and she enjoyed Steven Crowder videos and we would do the platonic ideal of friendly political debate together

NEW FIRE EMBLEM AAAAA

SUIKA GAME 2 NOW WE'RE TALKING

To not just be snarky on the TL that DQ7 remake looks so damn pretty and I'm very excited to properly dive into hades 2 in a couple weeks

Love getting news updates about my news updates app

OMG just saw the Sabrina Carpenter performance from the VMAs last night, she was on some queen shit 🏳️‍⚧️🥹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFNH...

Ended up writing like 600 words on the Saudi EVO purchase to get my frustration out but the back half of the article really is just going to be reiterating everything I said in the Ronaldo article so I'm not sure if I will finish it or post it

Was kinda bummed out this week i wouldn't know if i'd be financially stable in time to go to EVO france (got a very exciting interview friday but the sign up deadline is this weekend) but the Saudi PIF now outright own a significant chunk of it so I guess that's gonna happen anyway

A big part of my gender exploration has been embracing girl pop to shed my toxic masculinity and vaguely internalised (?) misogyny and the only artist out of all them I actively dislike is Taylor Swift She feels like Kingdom Hearts for former teenage girls and I'm trying to jump straight in at 3

On my latin pop arc to be a better friend to my close homesick puerto rican friend and all I have to say is Lo que le pasó a Hawaii is such an insanely powerful song

I was gonna say i haven't heard people talk about how shockingly good Peter Jackson's King Kong The Official Game of the Movie 358/2 Days Redux is but someone made a video essay about it last year I missed entirely. Will never be over the King Kong movie game being so ahead of its time for 2005

While yes my tween nephew does have an unfathomable amount of incredible and affordable games available at his fingertips via steam he will never know the joy of a TV/film tie in game that is far better than it has any right to be (so Simpsons hit & run, yugioh forbidden memories and king kong)

new laufey album is such a vibe, love it

It's crazy how much being an early console adopter makes you a captive audience, realistically I would never pick up a game like Kirby Air Riders because there's probably other more interesting stuff happening But 3 months after a console launch? I'm there day one
