said this year would be a movies year but im looking at all the games that i wanna play and ive got some terrible news for the cerisetears from two weeks ago

From indies like Blue Prince to big console exclusives like Donkey Kong Bananza, NPR staff members and contributors round up their favorite games of 2025. n.pr/3K8WaF5

hit the gigadepression double feature this afternoon. incredible movies. what have we done and do we deserve forgiveness for any of it

saw wicked part two it sucks

finished another playthrough of lis1. incredibly cool but also incredibly tragic that i dont think anything has come out again like it that has garnered ever a fraction of the popularity. forever a shame that so many people were like "this is unreal good" and then just. moved on

berseria remaster is hilarious -game isn't even that old -gameplay is still gonna suck -other tales games are way more inaccessible -but the story is goated so people should still play it very very strange

realized i could make a tier list of hazbin characters which tragically means im going to watch that before andor. im so scared of not liking andor guys im so fucking scared

great year for me in games methinks

as one of the seemingly very few people who played e33 and was like "oh shit i gotta brush up on my jrpgs", and then actually went and followed through on that brushing up - that experience only made me appreciate e33 even more. i think it's going to win an incredibly deserved game of the year

beat dispatch ehhhhhhhhhhhh

starting a new years resolution early: gonna try to leave a steam review whenever i beat a game

regardless of how good he actually ends up being, im excited to see all the clips of people being like "wtf zaahen op" as they take like 4 trades with him in a row without ever letting his stacks drop

at the romantasy smut panel doing anthropology

streets saying xin died

maybe the best week of my entire year and i had a kidney stone. lets fucking go

fought through a kidney stone to finish ff7 remake intergrade today. objectively a good game but. why does it exist? what are we doing here? i couldve beaten the entire original game in the time it took to do the first third here, and im not seeing anything thats been added to make up the difference

hearing white people talk about their police experiences is hilarious bro i would be turned into roast beef if i did half of this shit

probably finishing legends za tonight - just got a few pokemon i need to trade to complete the dex and that's it. not gonna go for the shiny charm lot of thoughts. might write something about it. but it is a good game.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN

this guy has stolen my heart

ok ZA is 100% the second best Pokemon game ever made but I am gonna think you are insane if you like this one more than Arceus. Arceus has an extremely sharp vision that ZA eschews in favor of incorporating more traditional systems. also megas look cool but play like ASS

just heard a song so good in legends za i instinctively went to see if Toby composed it

okay eating on the same side of the booth as your partner is giga based actually

spoiler-free pokemon review at the 5-6 hour mark: i think it is extremely difficult to make a pokemon game unfun when you are able to catch pokemon

finally saw knights of guinevere pilot. i had some nitpicks with it(character writing felt a little bare, world felt too 'fill in the blanks') but im sure a lot of that is "pilot syndrome" so im not pressed about. will probably watch it when s1 finishes. guinevere herself is a DOPE character tho

listened to the new tswift album on the way to work. was having a genuinely alright time - nothing revolutionary but def better than her last album. eldest daughter comes on. i genuinely contemplate swerving into a tree.

currently storyboarding a work presentation. i hate that i enjoy my job

i do wonder if part of why the silksong difficulty discourse kinda just washes over me is that ive spent my whole life playing plat fighters. i love microspacing and aerial positioning + fighting games teach you to throw yourself relentlessly at a thing until you get it

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

finished metaphor. the last ten hours kinda soured me on the game; the final boss reeks and i dont think there's like any standout music in the whole game which makes later fights pretty dull. really fun game when it's in the groove tho

ok after a lot of games both playing and watching i can confirm that while this is not my least favorite tft set, this go around is BAD bad

dues ex remaster is kind of a shame the wacky look of the original is just so charming

in what i believe is the final stretch of metaphor (last 8ish hours) and this game is very good. in a lot of ways it's what i wanted persona 5 to be - ambitious, progressive, some amount of challenge. but god atlus is never making anything better than catherine ever huh

its been forever but riot once again made a skinline for me specifically. all of these are fucking incredible

goes hard www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVhp...

been too mean to deltarune so might make a song tier list. heard third sanctuary properly and felt like i saw the face of god

i have new octopath and new arceus so i guess i want new smash? idk sixty minutes is a LONG TIME bro

think im gonna scrap my project. ill write a thing about it that ill post this week, but it got away from me in a way that made me really happy but also unable to keep it moving. feels bad but i got a lot of writing practice out of it so yk theres that. we keep it movin

officially beat silksong this morning. not gonna go for more than the normal ending (not the game's fault - as soon as i see credits im usually satisfied) but i might go back and finish exploring one or two more areas. game's nuts idk bro

almost done with silksong - its fucking amazing. BUT: -i have not used a shard thing the whole game and have not missed it i dont understand why it's here beyond "we needed more small things to discover" -holy fuck some of these runbacks -i did not sign up for a precision platformer bro

silksong is so fucking good and makes me feel so validated in not liking hollow knight. this is what i wanted the game to be (except for having to buy map markers for the benches this is actual racketeering)

mario kart world is excellent (except the driving from track to track is kinda lame i think the individual locations are super cool i dont rly care for the intermediate stuff) (also running around the open world isnt that much fun as someone who prefers doing things to seeing them)

signalis probs my fav game I've played this year. Is anyone else aware of this "survival horror" genre there might be a lot of potential here

wrote something www.tumblr.com/cerise-tears...

miss playing smash more hero was fucking made for me

its not real

jesus fucking christ

to anyone who actually knows me you are not allowed to read into this because i will not tell you anything and you will be sad. but the discussion rn about game storytelling is super interesting and i wish i could participate but i cannot yet. give me a few months
