I hate doing this first-day-of-school crap but hey

I’m Gavin.

I like cats and books and horror and visual novels and games.

Final Fantasy
Death Stranding
Yakuza
Xeno
TLOU
Dead Space

That kinda stuff.

If you didn’t follow me on Twitter, please know that I’ll make an effort to be better here 😄
My over-analyzing, obnoxious brain is doing with Octopath 0 exactly what it did to Chained Echoes.

I’m glaring at my second row and trying to determine the perfect placement and skills for each character.

Just LET ME CONTROL THEM ALL AT ONCE LIKE IN SUIKODEN

Octopath Zero is a gem. The zoomed-out screen is a game changer.

I wonder how much I’ll be bitching about the endgame grind in a week though 😂

I’m finally playing Yakuza 0 the whole way through (probably). I’m on Chapter 7 and I’m confused.

Why do so many people consider it the best entry?

Is it a nostalgia thing, or does the story get a whole lot better?

So far I’m pretty bored and the directors cut changes aren’t exactly impressive.

I’m still uncertain as to what the Russians were thinking when they made this tunnel the only contingency exit/entry point to Groznyj Grad lol

Where’s The End’s wheelchair ramp? And what if they had to evacuate? Unacceptable.

Is it okay to give an Amazon delivery person a bad review if they disregard instructions and leave your package in a place where literally anyone off the busy street outside can steal it? That’s fine, right?

Just chatting about the ending of FFT with a friend

By the end of the game, when you’re an adult, you start to realize that Final Fantasy Tactics is center-right Liberal propaganda.

What Joel did at the end of TLOU isn’t really that controversial when you think about it.

How many times have you seen a movie, read a book, or played a game where the protagonists stupidly let a villain have some world-ending weapon or super power just because they held a single person hostage?

On the next episode of bizarre voice casting. (Not quite as bad as Zorba in Metaphor, but it’s worth noting.)

I wouldn’t mind weapon durability in all these games if it were ever remotely “realistic.” Tell me a sword is going to snap in half after 5 connections on a pig creature, or a lead pipe is going to disintegrate after downing 3 zombies.

C’MON YOU GUYS.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

For anyone who’s played Silent Hill F.

I should probably use a guide and go for the best ending if I only play it once, right?
Reactivated GameFly. Immediately got Silent Hill F despite very low availability.

Saving money while not supporting Konami is the best.

I’ve played 2 demos this year of community-lauded games that I was positive I was going to buy. And I hated them. And I saved 150 dollars.

More demos, please!

There’s no title screen music. None. I’m not sure that helps the Immersion Theory.
I am finally playing Breath of the Wild since it runs so beautifully on the Switch 2, and I can’t help but notice: Where is the music? To me, Zelda has always been heavily tied to nostalgic tracks. I’m drowning in silence here.

Daylight savings means that when your cat wakes you up at 5, it gets to actually be 4.

Squidmond wishes you all the very best and safest Halloween and he thinks The Medium is a really good game and that the story is merely extremely bleak, not problematic.
