So, I've seen other folks list their completed games, so I figured I may as well join in. Systems and replays will be marked accordingly.
Games I've Beaten in 2025:
1) Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (Switch 2)
My first time with this strategy masterpiece. Relevant as it is deep.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

Cool so after months of pointedly ignoring and suppressing comments about Kagawa’s history as a violent sex offender and refusing to comment on it, the official stance they’re taking now is “we hired him on purpose for that reason”
RGG Studio not only cast Kagawa despite his actions, they are specifically taking advantage of his image as a creep to sell the role.
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA

![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05:
Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miwrulrgrudgnchcqgcpxgth/bafkreianho4oe2hx4rmjbrd65x22prtp53ol6fm5ljlqdnjmxkjx2bnpme@jpeg)

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

Even though I understand the amount of localisation work that would be involved, I would commit up to five misdemeanour-level crimes for an English port of this.

You know what, I think I'm okay never touching Yakuza. Really. Plenty of other legacy franchises out there that don't rehabilitate sex pests.

Oof, what a weak Direct. It's not they showed wasn't good--I'm keeping an eye on Elliot and Orbitals--but much of that felt like Switch 2 playing catch-up. (Ending on Bethesda ports? Really?)

Ain't no way Bluesky moderation banned dril over an Epstein shitpost.
This is pre-Musk Twitter levels of inept moderation, and even that hellsite's out-of-touch staff never displayed contempt for its userbase as seen with the Singal saga. Pathetic.

bezos and the post is yet another reminder that it's impossible to have billions of dollars and operate in the public interest at the same time. nobody with that kind of money got it by looking out for other people or putting the common good first. that's why it's so antithetical to journalism
