Game #5 of 2026: Astro’s Playroom Platinum Been long overdue to play it and I had a lot more fun than I expected. A simple short and sweet adventure with plenty of cool level designs and easter eggs. Was well worth the time and definitely sold me on playing Astro Bot someday soon 👀 8/10

Game #4 of 2026: Slay the Spire 2 (EA) Going to count this as "completed" for now as my addiction has started to wane and I have reached Ascension 5+ with all of the characters. Just everything I loved about STP1 and more. Will definitely be revisiting over the coming months as EA continues 9/10

Besides me freezing up during the intro, I'm proud of how everything turned out and all the editing things I have learned. It wasn’t perfect, but it will only get better moving forward. And I couldn't imagine doing this with a better group of friends. Much love everyone and thanks for the support ❤️

Don't watch the first 5 minutes. I'm literally begging you. 🙈

Pragmata's unique mix of shooting and hacking stays engaging throughout most of the game, while collecting items and upgrades always feels fun and worthwhile. It helps make up for a story that's mostly cute, but rarely very interesting. My full review 👇

Today is my first May 4th having actually seen a Star Wars movie 😅 So far I have watched: Episodes I-VI The Clone Wars Movie/TV Rebels (just finished this weekend) It's all peak. Now it's time for the sequel trilogy 👀

I have been off a bunch of meds/supplements the past two weeks for an allergy test on Tuesday. I will never take you for granted again Zyrtec

Lamb loin chops on clearance, first time cooking lamb Not too bad 🧑‍🍳

I keep falling for this trap of "oh its too late to make a post, no one will see it if I post now. I’ll just make the post tomorrow" And then proceeding to never post anything because it’s always too late 🙈

REPLACED is gorgeous and cool and a vibe. But is it accessible? Michaela loved her time with the game, but you might wanna check out our accessibility review to see if this side scrolling sci fi action adventure is a good fit for you Read it here: www.deargamers.net/reviews/repl...

A year ago today, one of my most anticipated games of all time released & became one of my favorites of all time I even finally pushed myself to do my 1st ever full, dedicated accessibility review I’ve grown a lot since then, but I won’t ever forget this one www.deargamers.net/reviews/clai...

I am starting a playthrough of Pokemon Scarlet for the first time and I want you guys to choose my party. A list of all available Pokemon to choose from is in the screenshot/alt text. Someone must pick one starter, and the rest of the party are any of the final form Gen 9 Pokemon in bold/green 1/2

As I continue to game hop, it's time for a brief 3000 word update on what I'm playing. Here are my thoughts so far on... -Grime II -Shadow of the Colossus -Replaced Enjoy! bignerdgaming.com/2026/04/17/g...

Such a great article from Bruno. That you should 1000% read. The whole debate reminds me so much of the GOAT debate in sports. Trying to compare players within a sport across different positions and eras is such a fruitless endeavor. How do you compare Babe Ruth to Shohei Ohtani when (1/2)

Game #3 of 2026: Xenoblade Future Connected DLC Provided some nice additional closure to XC1's characters and story. A lot of little QOL and gameplay improvements sprinkled throughout that hopefully find their way into XC2. Definitely excited to play XC2, but I definitely need a break 8.5/10

While 😭 may be the best emoji of all time, 🍅 is my favorite. Here are some of my favorite uses: When someone - Has a dumb opinion - Has a good opinion, but you disagree with it - Makes a bad joke - Makes a good joke - Calls you out justifiably and you don't like it - Is unavailable to play games

Been quiet the past couple weeks. Allergies, POTS, fatigue and new doggo has not been a recipe for success. Milo has been settling in more and more. Cooper and him are bonding more and more. Also it is time to play catchup and make a better late than never 2026 game thread 😂

Game #2 of 2026: Mario Golf Toadstool Tour Was a chill wind down SteamDeck game before bed. So much nostalgia for all of the sports games on the Gamecube, but I hadn't revisited this one yet. Definitely suffers from the usual lack of content that Mario sports games have/had. Even though (1/2)

Game #1 of 2026: Sonic Origins (Platinum🏆) Confession time, I had never played a 2D Sonic game before Origins. I had seen more Sonic movies than I had played Sonic games. There definitely are some major pain points like the entirety of Sonic CD 😭, Tails stealing (1/2)

It has been a weird year of gaming for me. This has been my slowest three months stretch since 2022. But there have still been several excellent games this year. Here's my top 5 so far. All 5 of these games are very different, which rules. bignerdgaming.com/2026/03/27/t...

I’ve been quiet on here for the past week, but I have a good excuse this time. Everyone meet Milo 😊 Milo is 3ish year old rescue dog we have been fostering to see how he and Cooper coexist. Things have been progressing well so far and I’m sure Milo will be a permanent member of the family soon ❤️

Been a while since I posted some home cooking Beef Kofta 🧑‍🍳

I don't know who this man is, I am not friends with him, and I vehemently disagree with his opinions. Poké Mob please don't kill me.

Why. It was 80 yesterday.

It's time for my next console top 10! Only a few more before I unveil my top 25 games of all time. While most of my PS3 faves were multiplatform, there are a few genuine all-timers that were exclusive and made this list. You can probably guess one of them. bignerdgaming.com/2026/03/06/b...

Girl scouts were selling cookies outside the grocery store a week ago. GS: “Our card reader isnt working.” Me: “Oh I don’t have any cash on me” GS: “No worries there is an ATM inside!” Me: “Ok! Ill be back!” I went inside, did my shopping, and snuck out through the other exit out of shame 😭

Tell me a random fact about yourself that sounds fake but is 100% true. I have never used an ATM and at this point I am too afraid to
