Titanfall 2's campaign is nothing short of a masterpiece, and what a gift it was for all of us. Such heart, incredible design, impeccable mechanics. Nearly ten years later it more than holds up, it remains arguably the pinnacle of the genre. If you've never played it, please do so.

Simply Having A wonderful

Season ruined

Creatives can make stuff however they like, but for me, games and films using GenAI is identical to finding an insect in my meal -- it immediately kills my appetite for a great dish, I don't really care how it got there, and it's effortless to eat somewhere else.

A studio having a huge breakout hit and then believing it has some secret sauce that makes it special which allows it to do whatever it wants for the next game because surely, it's different, to only fail with that next release is a tale as old as video game time.

Agree. To go a step further - an award like Best RPG isn't worth nearly as much unless voted on by a subset of critics/devs/etc who are /notably/ experts in the genre. Same for, say, fighting games - if a category like that sticks, the jury should include some pro players, tourney orgs, etc.

Ace Combat fans, if I wanted to finally try the series out am I safe to start with 7, or is it the best move to track down some of the older classics? Seeing a lot of love for 4.

Trying out the demo for this fantasy Disco Elysium like called Esoteric Ebb, and I’m immediately greeted with a Protomen reference. …I think I’m gonna like this game.

With so much discourse™️ around Lara's body - here is one of the first things I ever wrote for our site. Because she has always been more and when tou discount the OG, you discount her impact.

Anyway Expedition 33 is the game that should truly trigger full embracing of 'JRPG' as a descriptor of a certain subset of mechanics that emerged thru Japanese adaption of Wizardry, Ultima etc for consoles, rather than just 'RPGs made in Japan'. Diachronic process is real, language & context changes

Bro Nagoshi is so fucking funny

Nagoshi saving Yakuza just making his own.

After not loving Octopath 1 and struggled to get into Octopath II, Octopath 0 clicked with me from go thanks to some simple, but impactful structure changes. I'm only halfway through and I can't wait to play more. My full thoughts on YouTube and Podcast Services. Link in comments. RTs Appreciated!

I'm incredibly excited (and nervous) to announce my own newsletter. An Evening at the Inn is an RPG-focused bi-weekly newsletter with original reporting and writing from me, a curation of the best writing on RPGs, and more. an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/welcome-to-t...

I really need to remember to add -AI to my searches, but glad google can be this helpful

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen The Protomen Pendulum Death Cab for Cutie Tool Modest Mouse

Bene Gesserit Dora the Explorer, using the voice: Swiper No Swiping

My favorite holiday is getting new Protomen music once a week

maybe i am going insane

this is all fun and games but you gotta go outside and breathe the fucking air to live, this shit ain't real, this is the fucking illusory realm, this is the realm of spectacle and unsuppressed urges man, this is 100% performance, none of this means jack shit, peel your fucking eyes away

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms. Let’s amplify LOVE instead. I am beaming love at you. Right now. Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

🌟 SHOP UPDATE! 🌟 We have restocked our DS dyed enamel pins and introduced some new titles in this drop! These sold out pretty quickly last time so we made sure to stock up this time around. They’re available in my shop now so please check them out! ✨

Going to Round 1 tonight praying Metaphor collaboration stuff is in stock

Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards! And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

Raji: An Ancient Epic is such a wonderful action platform from 2020. Beyond stoked to see a sequel in the works. If that teaser at the end of the show piqued your interest, I cannot recommend the original enough; especially for only $6.24 right now.

Sincerely, if you loved these games and don’t feel like you enjoy RPGs generally, I got you — just tell me something you loved about them and I will rain down recs of all-time greats you can continue to enjoy.

Folks, tell me your favorite video game characters of 2025. New characters preferred, but if you feel like an old fave had a Moment this year, I’m all ears. RTs appreciated.

Didn't get a review unit for Analogue 3D but I preordered one way back when and looks like it's set to arrive tomorrow 👀. Not sure how fast I'll turn around some content for it but definitely looking forward to trying it out and sharing my thoughts.

I've been very down for the rush of Tales Remasters happening and getting as much of the catalog on current platforms as possible, but this one seems kinda silly to me. Only 4 months after Xillia Remastered, game's still playable on all modern hardware, and isn't even a decade old yet.

Feels a bit surreal, but got my first video game preview AND video preview over on @ign.com and it's for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined! Big thanks to @dmc-ryan.bsky.social for giving me the chance to do this! Enjoy my preview :D youtu.be/QNeRWBdFk30?...

Over the next few days I'll be posting clips of my main video doing a breakdown of #TheGameAwards Accessibility category to help explain why each game was nominated. First up today is #Atomfall youtu.be/QB6gh77RwR4

I got to go hands on with Dragon Quest VII Reimagined early thanks to @square-enix-games.com! Check out my thoughts here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJaB...

I can not fathom a more romantic gesture than to spend your last words gassing up your spouse's legacy.

Disheartening to have lost both Rebecca Heineman and Jennell Jacquays in the last two years. Two incredibly influential women in the game space, both video and tabletop, that should never be forgotten.

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

Just realized Hundred Line isn't nominated for a single category and I threw up a little.

Completely wild that Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter isn't up for best RPG at the Geoff Awards. Just keep the meme going of ignoring any JRPG that isn't Persona or FF.

Forgot to post my predictions here but I’m 5/6 hah. Surprised KDC2 made it, consumer response was huge but critical felt low key compared to some other options, thought Split Fiction would have that slot.

Finished up the post game in Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D (thanks to @square-enix-games.com for the code!) and what an absolutely incredible way to cap off this remake trilogy. Perfection.

Here’s my massive interview with Dispatch’s writer Pierre Shorrete - touching on superhero fatigue, the nature of choice in narrative games, how it started as live action, how it became a “far greater” succes than expected, and what’s next www.inverse.com/gaming/dispa...

Just caught up on Dispatch and I need it to be Wednesday right the fuck now.

Go watch many games media folk play Mario Kart World to fundraise medical relief for @begroom.bsky.social and his wife Jen dealing with MG. If we hit their 20k goal by the end of night, I will shave my head (and I really don't want to do that). twitch.tv/seamoosi Donate: gofund.me/7531241af

Late to this meme but been meaning to share 10 to get to know me. There’s like 17 others games I want to shove in here, part 2 eventually probably.
