might replace doomscrolling with Theatrhythm

if anyone’s looking for a game critic ahead of the bonkers few months coming up, reach out

feeling slightly attacked by the Onimusha demo asking for my age and having +/- 10 years set to L1/R1

necromantic Yakuza wishes, Stranger of Paradise is an all-timer

my thoughts on criticism increasingly center on how I feel about FFXVI, a deeply flawed game that I think I’ll always love because I played it in the middle of the night while my newborn slept on my chest in a carrier. in other words: our experiences with texts are shaped by context, and that’s good

working on a theory that every Sufjan album is the best album of all time

I was wrong, I actually do want more DD2

seeing a lot of Nintendo takes. here’s what people are missing: 1. Dedue is the best FE character 2. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an all-timer that I’m not sure I have the energy to play through again 3. I adore Zelda 4. it is foundational to my existence 5. few series are in less need of remakes than Zelda

the great part of being a Fire Emblem guy now is that I used to only care about these for Zelda. double the caring!

Here's the full key art by Katsuya Terada for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, taken from the website: www.konami.com/games/castle... Featuring Rose Belmont, a new protagonist and the daughter of Trevor Belmont!

holy shit they got Terada

fantasy is when a doctor is called a physic. sci-fi is when they’re called a physic

everyone's mad, most for the wrong reasons; everyone's stupid, each in their own way. life is just the Anna Karenina principle, but dumb

uhhh this looks like it rules??? co-op gladiator roguelike with Darkest Dungeon-esque impairments??? store.steampowered.com/app/3569420/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq-y...

Khazan’s on sale. buy Khazan, love Khazan

this text is the inciting incident of a horror movie

superhero industrial complex is worth it for hairy arm representation

My PSN Avatar Is Kratos. Here's Why I'm Mad About The New Videogame

folks, if you like the cube, what you're actually hungry for is Dota

with Mina done, I'm now going to get a PhD to make the tiniest bit of sense of 868-BACK

Mina update: listen, I’m wary of nostalgia, but give me Jabu-Jabu 2026 and I’m yours

latest Mina update: you offer me a way to parry, I’m gonna parry

this just in, Mina rules

Nintendo adults

this RULES

realized that Die in the Dungeon 1.0 came out this month. roguelikers, check it out -- just look at this guy

having not yet played a moment of Mina, I will say that DARK SOULS IS A ZELDA II-LIKE

Huge fan of YOSHI AND THE MYSTERIOUS BOOK over here, and I assure you it's not just because I have two young children (neither of whom is old enough to really play). To me, this is the right balance between single-solution puzzles and sandboxes: a game that wants you to be curious and experiment.

Bogost is like a bizarro version of the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers (wakes up every few months to post so that we can eat)

I will note that Genndy Tartakovsky's series is THE BEST SINGLE STAR WARS THING

gonna echo this and say that some of my best and favorite work has been unrestrained by embargo deadlines. it's very liberating to just write at the pace the work warrants (and it's fun to be the only review published on a given day, rather than one of dozens hitting go at the same second)

it's actually really important that videogame studios pay critics for positive reviews, since outlets often don't pay us

did dude say anecdote

pupusas >>>

might fuck around and get into Monster Hunter (realizing I just made Revolver Ocelot)

hate to spoil a kicker less than I love to celebrate a great kicker www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ze...

I tolerate a lot and opine on very little but I REBUKE anti-Disco Elysium hate

this is a top-three embarrassing thing about this ecosystem

I dread asking this, but can anyone recommend something to read to understand the ZA/UM...everything?

uh I think this screenshot just sold me

I have said it before and will say it again: few people do it like Nic

feels like a sign that, now that I'm an adult, I am ready for the FF-to-SaGa pivot

maybe I'm being dense, but I don't think this is referring to the controversy surrounding Disco. it's just saying that "self-professed leftists" go crazy for Disco — which, think what you want, is not intrinsically commenting on all that? www.eurogamer.net/zero-parades...

tbh mostly waiting for the @midfalutin.bsky.social take

oof, have to play Zero Parades now, don’t I

this was cool to read, it is cool to see a writer contextualize a contemporary’s work and eloquently argue they are a dumb hater, we love a learned drubbing www.theideasletter.org/essay/he-los...

oh the latest entry in my column THE WORK is up, in which the movie MICHAEL made me think of stories told to resist cultural shifts towards equity, and how anyone can use these tools to whatever ends they wish aftermath.site/the-michael-...
