Does this mean Fortune's Weave is on the horizon? 😊

Ok, it took me a bit of 🕰️, but I think I'm warming up to Vampire Crawlers. There's a depth of strategy that is interesting; the need to NOT use disposable cards (that increase your perm stats for a run), but to stack them on top of a huge combo to increase their effect. -1>0>1>2>3>4>loop>0>1>2 etc.

Gamers - question, if you were to categorize yourself, divvy your interests into a pie chart, how big of a slice is gaming for you? 🤔 Like we all have some other interests and responsibilities, but I'm curious where everyone would place their number. 😊

Right time to sleep, I thought "I know I'll have one quick Hades 2 run before bed" next thing I know it's 3:30am 🤦‍♂️ On a positive note I finally reached the big bastard himself and while I didn't bring death to Chronos I came surprisingly close first try

What is the best Smash Bros. game? #gamersky I’m going with my personal favorite, Melee. Even tho Ultimate is everything and more, I have WAY TOO MANY memories, both good and bad associated w/ this game.

FE Conquest Progress: Ch12 has been kicking my butt. I seem to recall now why this game caught some flak back in the day; it errs a bit on the difficult side. 😅 Just have to be more defensive minded in my approaches. 😊 Silas has been one of my goats 🐐 (changed him to a mercenary)

Ok definitely overprepared for the final boss of Act 1 bec I was tanking its hits without me needing to dodge. Also using a spear for this fight was the right call as it was using those spinning orbs that damage you at close range

Playing through Watch Dogs for the first time in 2026 was an eye-opening experience. Does it actually warrant the negative legacy it’s garnered over the years? Is it secretly a misunderstood gem? Let me unpack it all in this review: sightingames.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/r...

Now it's time to write a little bit about Walking Simulators for tomorrow's podcast. I cannot think of a subgenre that embraced an insulting name for its games more willingly than this one! Pictured below: A few I really like!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 released a year ago. The game affected me so deeply that I penned my first formal essay analyzing a video game. I'm sharing this again in case the themes I analyze resonate with anyone else. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Oh turns out the animals assisting you also clear the logs and stone strewn across your field. Well that's convenient. Later on I found out there were cranky bec they were low hp. Nothing a healing potion doesn't fix.

• After the first game have always been a Zelda main (like the reach, range, smashes, and positioning/spacing) 🔥 • PK Thunder!!! ⚡ (Wild but fun) • B button thunder spark spam was a whole thing as a kid 💛 • I love Ike, but man do I struggle with slow characters 😅 • 2B is an exception to the ❌🗡️

My Bluesky randomly changed carrousels back to grids. Prompt posting is back

It's rainy and gross outside! So lets stay inside and play some space daddy simulator! Starting Pragmata now! twitch.tv/whatifmachine

Mewgenics Progress Spoilers: With a house upgrade, he's coming back. 7 runs (days) till I hit the next "story" battle, and then I'm sure I'll unlock more. Ya know when people say a game was "made in a lab specifically for you"? 🤔 Well that's how I feel this game is. Still such a great chaotic ride

Sleep has been kicking my *** recently... been so low energy. Very BSky absent... apologies all. 😅

One of the best games of all time still has some room for improvement. 👇

#9: Pragmata Wow. Seriously, wow. This was absolutely incredible. Did I say wow? Capcom nailed it in every aspect. I just rolled credits so my brain can only come up with WOW right now.

It's time for my next console top 10 list! Today, I'm ranking my top 10 PS4 games. There are a few serious all timers in here. Also, I wrote about why this might be the most meaningful console I ever obtained. bignerdgaming.com/2026/04/24/b...

Now accepting recommended Steam Deck settings 🙏

Fire Emblem Conquest Progress: I completely forgot about the whole base building mechanic 😅 (I think it's fun). Also forgot how much tension this game begins with. My cartridge makes me choose the option I don't want to. 😭 Just got my first Villager 💪 Trying hard to level Felicia 🗡️

It's time for a BigNerdGaming mailbag! Strap in for 3000 words of me ranting on... -The Pragmata fatherhood discourse -Genre fans that are too easy or hard on their respective genres -The most unique games I've played recently. Enjoy! bignerdgaming.com/2026/04/23/t...

Coral Island Progress: Creeping forward through Winter. Almost have the ocean healed? Looking forward to eventually being able to interact with the 🧜‍♀️s & 🧜‍♂️s more. 😊

"Cozy horror" is kind of a thing now, isn't it? These games prove it. comicbook.com/gaming/list/...

Our next bestseller came out. Lia with he debut title, Barrierology! It's quite a read 🙂‍↕️ #MiihodachiLife #TomodachiLife

Here's another batch of item icons that I've redrawn. It's been almost 10 years. 😭

Yall should go hang out with @yevonsent.bsky.social he's playing Pragmata, great dude great, underrated streamer twitch.tv/yevon_sent

It's funny. I'm seeing so many Vampire Crawler moot posts where they are completely engrossed by it, and I'm just like "it's very good". I definitely haven't been obsessed, but it's good fun. 😅

Feels weird to have played Clair Obscur and Mindseye within 3 weeks of each other. The true spectrum of gaming

This is not a dig at Crimson Desert. This is a call to action to players who feel bogged down by the games they play. Here is my latest opinion piece. pixelbytegaming.com/video-games-...

Thankfully, the beb was still well enough to make daycare, which means I got some things done (and still to do). I also was able to get in some Coral Island and Vampire Crawlers time. :D CI: Finally figured out how a hangout works. It's actually really cute and charming. 🥰 3rd Mineshaft done!

Honestly, game starts off with a nice little drama. Love to see good levels. Now I'm with the Hoshidos. Baby naps are so short 😭 See if I can sneak some 🎮 in between snot cleaning. 😂

As an insane game juggler (sometimes), I decided ya know what, time to revisit Conquest. I also just bought Vampire Crawlers. My toddler is sick again. Life.

I reached ch 5 of REPLACED, about ~40% thru going I think, so I wanna share impressions Bc while I’m loving it, I can see why it doesn’t match everyone’s expectations 🧐 It’s Vibes: The Game. If you expect all action, half the time that’s not it. It’s more exploration & feasting on the world:

Detective Ward travels to remote Ireland to investigate the disappearance of a young woman from a mysterious hotel. Once there he starts to realise there much more afoot in this supernatural detective mystery. The Séance of Blake Manor is 30% off & has a FREE DEMO to try now: https://bit.ly/4tgPTZ2

So I've decided. This year is the year of the Srpg for me (last year I played a lot of Metroidvanias which was out of character). • I tried Dark Deity • Deep in Mewgenics • Starting up something today/tomorrow, impulse choice • Fortunes Weave will eventually come • Super Robot Wars ready

Me too, Monoco. Me too #ClairObscurExpedition33

Vampire Crawlers review: Deck-building in the dungeon depths

AI the Somnium Files and its sequel, Nirvana Initiative, are some of the best adventure games of all time, it’s a shame they don’t get talked about more I’ve yet to try No Sleep for Kaname Date but I think it’ll be right at home on my Switch 2 soon enough

Having played ~12ish fire emblem games, it's undeniable that Path of Radiance is such a good starting point if you haven't played any game in the series. Gives you a good feel for what it's like and then you can decide if you want to try other titles. 😊 Fun little grid to do. 👍

I may had impulsed buy something 👀 Already love it. Quality of life improvements in progression and currency. Unlocks. Ugh gushing Love how story continues moving along after death. The combat feels even more interesting vs mashing in hades 1 too much with the mana system added Melinoe🤍

We're not done with 2026 yet.

2026 game #15: MHS3 I was gonna wait for sale. I didn’t play 1&2 & my only MH was World which didn’t sing for me 🫣 but friends’ hype & the eternal call of turn based proved too much to resist… And I fucking loved it. Some major a11y critiques, but fuck. I DEVOURED this & would again. Pros/cons 🧵

This cartoon mouse shooter is ok, I guess. But there’s a lot of shooting… 🫤 And it’s kinda cartoony… 😬

If you see this, post 4 of your favorite Fire Emblem characters. • Claude • Clair • Takumi • Tsubasa (the true protagonist of TMSFE)
