I get that it's officially winter now but that's a lot of snow

One week until Christmas

E33: uses Gen AI E33: wins a bunch of awards anyway and is widely celebrated even after admitting to be AI Larian now announces that they're using Gen AI Gamers have let the world know that they won't hold studios accountable for using AI. Now we all have to deal with the consequences of this crap

Please support VA unions everyone! Voice actors are super undervalued despite all the incredible work they do

Hell's Paradise season 2 was the only winter 2026 anime I was looking forward too and it has been given the dreaded fate of being sent to Prime Video :(

Considering posting a vocal cover of some TWEWY songs but on the other hand I can't stand the sound of my singing voice

It's here!

TWEWY style Lloyd Bannings

Remember, you are perfect just the way you are. You are loved, you are wanted, you are needed. It can be hard to feel that way sometimes but you are just as important as anyone else. You bring so much color to this world just by being you. Never forget that

New thing I'm seeing that drives me mad: "I don't like that game has AI assets but it's still a great game" Like no, don't defend AI in a game you enjoy otherwise all devs will see AI as something they can embrace As someone who liked CE33, learning that the devs used AI should ruin the title

Big holiday event in my town today (yippie) will keep me from scrolling through stupid takes on my tl until I crash out

I must become one with the whimsy

And that's my final game of 2025 wrapped up

Largely speaking I think the Trails fanbase hates the new translation way too much (to an absurd degree honestly) but this is like the one example I've found where it's atrocious since GungHo literally copied the same 2 lines twice in the same conversation

Btw Octopath moots I'm not ignoring y'all I have just muted everything related to the series so I can play through OT0 at my own pace

Backloggd counting Sky 1st as a new game not but Raidou Remastered (so ineligible for awards) when both changed their gameplay equally is so silly to me Like can we stop setting boundaries as to what can be considered a remake and just count all games that released in a year as valid titles

Ow my back (I shoveled snow for half an hour)

I forgot my Bluesky birthday

Stolen, but don't feel pressured to make suggestions

December #promosky Just a silly fella on the internet, happy to be moots with y'all. Here's some of what I like: -Bravely Default -Octopath -Fire Emblem -Trails -Mario Kart -Kirby -Rune Factory -Legend of Zelda -Harvestella -Vanillaware -TWEWY -Xenoblade -Nier -SMT -Anime & Manga -Writing

Obviously against EGS being pro-AI, but also can we please stop pretending Steam is really any better? The devs need to disclose AI use (many don't) and Steam is full of AI slop so good indie titles are buried. Valve claims they're anti-AI but they're clearly not or else they'd actually ban it

I feel like folks already on the Metroid Prime 4 hate train are going to cling to the canceled 2019 build of the game the same way Kojima fans cling to Silent Hills as a game that was 'stolen' from them. I hope I'm wrong but the game isn't even out yet and the discourse is so bad

Not to brag but look at my cat

Labubu balloon in the Macy's parade (God is dead)

Happy Turkey Day

The first few games I hope to clear in 2026. It's an insanely stacked roster

Why are all the cool Youtubers dropping their 3+ hour long videos all in the same week? It's so much stuff I need to watch (or put on in the background while I play Sky 1st)

If you don't know which of your friends is the 'makes a peace sign in every photo' friend, that means it's you. I'm sorry. Sincerely, the 'makes a peace sign in every photo' friend

To everyone realizing just now that Roblox is deplorable: where the hell have you been for the last decade

It's taking both my braincells to remind me not to buy Air Riders yet since I'm poor and want to wait for a sale but y'all are having so much fun with it that I might cave

Happy birthday to the waggling GOAT

Cloudflare is down, nature is healing

Steam Machine will be powered by electricity, not steam power.

Once again begging people to stop giving TGA, and by association Geoff Keighley any attention. Even excessive complaints about how awful and rigged TGA always is still legitimizes it because they can write off those comments as sore losers. Silence is the best way to show people how little TGA means

Seeing a bunch of moots discussing their games of the year. You'll have to wait until December for my picks, since I'm still finishing up a couple titles before I move onto longer titles that'll hold me over well into 2026 (OT0 and Metaphor)

Feh going an entire month and a half without a single new heroes banner is proof enough to me that the game is finally dying 🥳🥳

The fact that the Octopath 0 producers had to make a statement about the backlash from the state of play trailer for the crime of Sony calling a commercially and critically successful franchise "beloved" is disappointing Some of y'all need to grow up. Not everything needs to appeal directly to you

Got the demo on my switch it's Octopath so it's been fun so far

I CANNOT WAIT FOR OCTOPATH 0 THE NEW TRAILER IS PEAK

So much this, obviously we all want our physical games to actually be physical, but I can't think of a single PS4 disc I own that actually has the full game on it. I hate game key cards, we all should, but there's a discussion to be had about how we've let every other company off the hook for years

Yikes, Nintendo

Every time I see a Youtube video titled something like "I played/saw [thing] so you don't have to" I die inside because that furthers the idea that witnessing media through someone else's eyes is equal to actually interacting with it

How it feels looking outside and seeing all the snow

Getting the first snowfall that actually sticks currently

Least convincing scam ad on Youtube

Updating my age in my bio from 22 to 23 but it feels like aging up a decade. Uhh birthday 🎂 yeah

My four most anticipated games of 2026. Fifth would be the new Tomodachi Life game

For a moment I thought 2025 was the year where talking animal companions in games were all good (Esquie in CE33, Woolby in RFGOA, Gouto in Raidou Remastered) But then I remembered XCXDE was also this year and Tatsu drags down the average by a significant amount

Thinking about actually using Bluesky's cool features and making a starter pack with all my super cool moots
