Of course I would get the Shin Megami Tensei hyperfixation instead of the Persona hyperfixation. Why can't I be normal?

To put into perspective how long the Castlevania series has been dormant, here's an excerpt from my Haunted Castle Revisited review on Backloggd which I wrote at the start of 2025

really interested in mewgenics mechanically speaking, but man the edmund mcmillan humour/style isn't for me

haven't done any jigsaw puzzles since i was a child, bought a 1,000 piece puzzle thinking that number didn't sound like a lot, and i'm having some regrets

we're friends now, life is weird

I've become the person I respected the least as a child: someone who thinks Super Metroid MIGHT be better than Zero Mission, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time MIGHT be better than Wind Waker

In light of recent events, I wouldn't bother putting your trust into Ubisodt putting together a competent remaster of the oeiginal Rayman - instead, you should check out the fanmade Rayman Redemption, which unearths the game's best qualities while meaningfully expanding the experience where needed

writing a woke video essay, call that the TRANScript

In 2025, I somehow managed to play over 150 video games. In this video, I’ve narrowed that down to my 10 favourite new releases and first-time plays, and answered some viewer questions! I also had a bit too much fun with the Premiere Beta... 📼 youtu.be/NZ556cVULAI

my favourite kind of client interaction at work is when i chase them for something over and over, then they finally respond and tell me when they're going to send what i asked for, and then that time passes and i still haven't received anything i lied by the way i hate this

recently been having scary thoughts such as "how hard could it be to create a fan translation"

new vid new vid rebleets appreciated!!!

made a new video 🪖🇺🇸🦑 In 2002, the US military developed a free-to-play game: “America's Army”. The game does one really unique thing: despite being multiplayer, the ‘good guys’ always win. wtf does this have to do with splatoon? youtu.be/0eTNbHw5hMI

robin did such a good job with this thumbnail and it took them less than an hour, insane

Found the video jam very stressful but equally rewarding. Pretty happy with what I was able to cook up, and while I would have made a lot of changes if I had more time (namely the audio mixing and certain edits), that'd go against the point of the exercise

I had some runs in Blue Prince where I was incredibly impressed by its pacing, each run opening me up to multiple new opportunities, massive discoveries that totally flipped the world on its head

what the hell, a musical artist i love just subscribed to my youtube channel bizarro world

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

a few days ago, i wanted to curse out the creator of this type of puzzle, and the people that thought putting it in games was a good idea now? well,

Straight up, I think Backloggd is just a better site than Letterboxd. Maybe it's because I'm more used to it, but I find it a lot easier to navigate and log things than its film counterpart

TOP 10 GAMES I PLAYED IN 2025 GET IN

Given I was born in '99, can't say I have a favourite from the time. Looking at the catalogue, I'm also not too attached the catalogue these days. By default, I suppose I'd have to go with Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (the Japanese version specifically), shoutout to UFO: A Day in the Life too

omg now new year's is over I can finally post the stupidest commission request I've ever received #b3d #blender for @heyitmeben.bsky.social

City Trial in Kirby Air Riders is an utter delight, should have listened to all the praise the original game got for this and tried it much sooner That said, I will be FURIOUS if the next Smash game doesn't bring back Smash Run with the ability to interact with other players while exploring

have a happy new year please

can't believe kirby air riders ended up being the best switch 2 game

Metroid shelf update, just missing Metroid 1 I think!

The wheel and I cooked up some Japanese PlayStation games for you. Please respond! Japan Only PS1 Games Vol.17 is out now! youtu.be/A8xvXtoZoqo
