For context on the Make FPS Great Again Guy, his dad is the billionaire CEO of US tax giant, Intuit. He loves to leave that out of his "rags to riches" story on dropping out of college to ship his first game... The more you know!

Ended up trying to make Elrond from Rings of Power as my main Elvish Rogue for Dragon Age: Veilguard. I think I did a pretty good job, considering I rarely get into custom characters.

Rolled credits on #BLOPS6 & it's definitely the best campaign Call of Duty has had in a while. But I'm also really wary of praising jingoistic media where the central plot point is a "what if" scenario where Saddam Hussein actually had WMDs, even if it's tied to the 1st Gulf War & not post 9/11.

I was today years old when I learned that the latest Bethesda game doesn't have schedules and routines for their NPCs? Like, the main thing people find interesting about those games?! Who exactly was Starfield even for? www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/mo...

A Metroidvania priced at AAA levels with no Steam release was an inspired publishing move. It took me 90 minutes to get uPlay functional on my Steamdeck just to play this on holiday. Miserable experience that was worth it in the end. But I can't blame others who weren't willing to give it a try.

While the jury is still out on Bluesky, at least I don't have people here signing off their DMs in the most unhinged, boomer-stylings imaginable. Sexist? Potentially homophobic? A sin against good grammar? Pick your descriptor.

All of the towns in Final Fantasy XVI are like 3 blocks wide. Unless it's a primary story quest in a major capital at which point they're all funnelled corridors with expansive set dressing. This game desperately needs a Novigrad equivalent to make the world feel actually lived in.

Threads feels like a fake social media network from an open-world game. It’s all the vapid shit that writers clown on when putting something like that into a game, it’s just missing the part where people talk about whatever the fuck Spider-Man did in the last mission.

Threads is horrific. Truly just your Facebook feed. Even changing settings to only show my followers doesn't rid my feed of clickbait trash, corporate accounts or random celebrities. 5m sign ups in a few hours is insane though and they risk being the incumbent upstart without bluesky opening up.

Final Fantasy XVI is weirdly conservative in a lot of ways. However, the integration of UI elements, especially move names, in combat is both an amazing bit of nostalgia and effective attack telegraph. The summons especially feel beautifully modernized & seamless with the real time gameplay.

Instead of fireworks, Canada decided to have a short flash of massive thunderstorms to celebrate July 4th. My cat approves of neither. Luckily she found a great spot to seek shelter and wait out the weather...

Testing the waters on not-Twitter and seeing what all the fuss is about. Piña says hello and is excited to reconnect with everyone and also maybe make some new friends.
