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 😄
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.

Ever since I posted this I’ve been getting bombarded by ads across social media for the Breath of the Wild vinyl.

I assume the record is a straight hour of footsteps, clanking armor, ambient and repetitive white noise music, and (probably) an actual end credits *song*.

(I am being facetious.)

Dispatch continues to be the best narrative game I’ve played in a long time and I refuse to shut up about it.

Dispatch is so gd good. If you’re into animation and super heroes and visual novels, it’s perfect for you. Go check out the first few episodes.

He will absolutely post an AI-generated photo of himself as Homelander at some point in the future.

Frankenstein is probably pretty cool if you never read the book. But it really needed some strict editing.

The chocobo death cry in Ivalice Chronicles is brutal, and to top it off, it happens in full surround sound so it’s twice as horrifying.
