I was worried this was going to become rare, so I bought it physically just in case.

I paid the U.S. government money they said I owed them and now they're trying to extort the same amount of money I already paid them. I have both a receipt and it is on my credit card statement. I truly believe the most incompetent people run this country.

Do you think bro played with them when he was done with the video?

I caught my first non-story, full odds shiny in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It's literally trash. #PokemonLegendsZA

I think someone actually unfollowed me for this just demonstrating my point. 😂

I turn on easy/invincibility mode when grinding in RPGs and turn it back off during story objectives (as long as it doesn't affect achievements). The way some people describe gaming discourse, I'm not a "real gamer" even though I do it to save time because I have less of it now.

I was walking through the pitch dark, turned on my flashlight, turned around, saw this written in the snow, and almost had a heart attack. 😂 Apparently, my fiancée wrote it earlier. It's a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reference.

I like how in Japanese, to describe someone as intelligent, you can say: 彼は頭が良いです。(Kare wa atama ga ii desu). "He has a good head." (or "He is smart.")

I finished both Dragon Quest III and I HD-2D remakes this year and I'm about to start II HD-2D. I wish they would release 4-6 next, even if it is upscaled from the mobile versions. But the fact they jumped to VII leads me to believe VIII is next.

My fiancée got the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A as a gift so I am obligated to play it and form an opinion. I boycotted it because while I didn't think it was a bad game, it looked rushed. I want Game Freak to do better. I'll buy it later if I feel mistaken.

I think 2024 was double my 2025 playtime on Nintendo consoles. I played Xbox more because I am trying to grind a bunch of Microsoft Rewards points before my Game Pass Ultimate sub ends at the end of May (I'll probably switch to Premium then). #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitch2

I know this won't happen, but if Nintendo put their retro games on Steam and allowed Workshop support, fans could release content patches for old ROMs and the best of the best could end up on the Nintendo Classics apps on Nintendo Switch Online. youtu.be/FgpXTNPxjlQ?...

It's January 3rd, so today is my second 21st birthday. I get two beers instead of one.

I figured out a way to make decent-looking sprites with no artistic ability (no, it isn't generative AI). I am not ready to spill my secret sauce just yet, but it just shows me art doesn't have to be inaccessible. Eventually I want to do it all by hand, though.

This is funny. 😂 #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/dUkLYOPRYH4?...

I'm probably not buying an Xbox or PlayStation console after this generation, especially if they go all-digital, unless they are some sort of PC hybrid. This personally felt like the most useless generation to me. I used Xbox primarily for Game Pass and Microsoft mucked that up.

I swear if I die and anyone writes something like this about me... You better hope that they burned my head and shot it out of a confetti cannon; if not I'm reanimating and coming for you And another thing: I'm not mad. Don't write in my People Magazine obituary that I got mad about "followers"

I barely touched my PS5 this year so I didn't even get a 2025 Wrap-Up. LOL. #playstationwrapup

If Peter Parker or Miles Morales bite someone, does that person get spider powers, too? "Spider-Man-Man, Spider-Man-Man, does whatever a Spider-Man can."

Damn, I am a nerd. #YouTubeRecap @maklelan.bsky.social (a critical Bible scholar) was also my most watched channel this year. I learned a lot from him and I am considering a potential career path due to that channel alongside continuing game development on my own time.

I'll be honest, I gave up focusing on consoles and focus on PC and (to some extent) mobile game development now. That doesn't mean I can't release ports to console, I just suspect consoles will become increasingly niche as PC gaming becomes more affordable.

I played Wario World for the first time the past weekend and 100%ed it last night. It was my first time playing and I am ashamed I missed it, but enjoyed it despite some old-school jank. #NintendoSwitch2 #NintendoSwitchOnline #GameCube

Mission accomplished.

I forgot to mention my personal Games of the Year: 1) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 2) Avowed 3) Donkey Kong Bananza (based on games I've played) My picks don't have to be yours. #TheGameAwards

I am mostly not offended by this list. With a few exceptions, I consider many of these to be among the greatest games of all-time.

I suck at visual art and I rely on a lot of "programmer art" when developing and have to replace it later with someone else's art. So I think next year I am going to get better at drawing and build on that foundation. Even if it is just to understand the process more.

Probably the closest thing to an "ethical company" is small businesses and corporations obliterated a lot of them. If you are in a position to support small businesses, do so.

Donkey Kong seems a bit miffed at Lanky Kong's return. #DonkeyKong #DKBananza #DonkeyKongBananza

I had a dream we were getting a live-action sequel to the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie and Nintendo was okay with it continuing as a separate narrative universe.

we have to go back. to warn them.

finished the new defunctland

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

What's the point of the X location feature if it doesn't work on certain accounts? I wanted to see if there was foreign influence on the US government.

ADVENTURES OF LOLO HAL LABORATORY/DICE CO. 1994 (Captured on Gameboy Pocket)

The only physical Nintendo Switch game I didn't have from Nintendo's Black Friday sale and now it is mine.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

My only issue with fan games is you could have spent that effort making something you truly own and even sell it if you want to. It looks cool and I'll check it out, I just hope it doesn't get DMCAed. youtu.be/IfCL7ke7wEw?...

I think I'll have enough Microsoft Points before January 8th to nab the Silent Hill 2 Remake for free.

I don't know why it took forever to finally win a run in Balatro. I have played for 1 day 7 hours and 12 minutes according to the Xbox app.

LOL, nope. Better off building your own "Steam Machine" and putting SteamOS on it at that price.

This new PC/Android controller from 8BitDo is insanely affordable and looks to be an absolute beast: amzn.to/3LSUZKg #ad $29.99 releases December 8 - 1000Hz Polling Rate - Hall Effect joysticks and triggers - Metal joystick rings - Button mapping for R4/L4 bumpers - Turbo function - Rumble

"Hello, we are from the Perch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

It's not perfect, but I think the Steam Machine can be good enough in 4K if these settings and hardware are close enough. You're going to want to drop it to 1080p for the best performance, though. But I can handle 30-40 fps for a lot of these games. youtu.be/Bg99bsQT3_E?...

My X timeline is pro-Expedition 33 fans vs. Expedition 33 "critics" (mostly people who know nothing about the game or are showing optional content to make it look bad). I don't know how this game became this contentious. If you hate the fanbase, judge it on its own merits.
