I feel like one reason why some gamers have huge backlogs is that they buy the game at release because of FOMO. And end up not playing it or playing it as much because of limited time.

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Ocarina of Time
4. A Link Between Worlds
5. Twilight Princess

Honorable mentions: Link’s Awakening, The Minish Cap, A Link to the Past

When a new season starts on Splatoon and you grind to S+0

I like that Nintendo is separating some many things into separate apps.

Nintendo Music, Nintendo Store, Nintendo Today.

If only we can get Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Maps, Nintendo Conference, Nintendo America, Nintendo California, Nintendo Los Angeles

I say “buckets of money” as opposed to “pots of money”. Trying to keep my Splatoon lingo intact.

(I work in budgeting)

I think this meme perfectly captures my experience in the gaming space.

I’m not from NY nor do I live in NY but I’m cautiously optimistic for what may happen from November 4th and onward.

Wishing the best.

Pokemon Z-A is fun. A few gripes with the game.

The points required for the shiny charm, particularly the 1000 battles, is a bit asinine. If you complete everything else, you only need 100 points.

I’ll think I’ll just continue battling in the DLC. No rush in getting the shiny charm tbh.

This seems like a good enough reason to play the game again.

More updates to existing games is making it very hard to buy Metroid Prime 4.
October 30, 2025 at 5:42 PM
I was not familiar with your game, Pyroar. My god, you are terrifying.

I appreciate the Pikman 4 update. A lot of replayability with that update.

Marvel Invasion finally got a release date.

I’m honestly thinking of just buying that in Dec & playing that rather than Metroid Prime 4.

I unfortunately don’t have a lot of time & I will likely still be playing Pokemon ZA.

In Pokemon X, the first Pokemon I caught was a shiny Fletchling. Route 3, full odds shiny.

Years later, in Pokemon ZA, the first shiny Pokemon I caught was also a Fletchling. I was going to my first rank up battle. Rank Y, full odds shiny.

I had an Anton Ego moment. I am enjoying this game.

Logging off all socials for Pokemon Z-A!

Will come back when I finish.

I am breaking my Pokemon tradition with going with Totodile and will pick Chikorita instead. I want a Froakie & Talonflame on my team too.

I hope all is well. I got a new job so that keeps me busy. See ya! 👋🏽

My nephew came over yesterday. First time he ever showed interested in video games, and somehow, Tears of the Kingdom and Mario Kart World caught his attention.

I’m ngl, games being $60 for 10+ years is pretty insane. It’s clearly good for consumers but businesses probably had to eat their margins when costs when up lmao.

I would not be surprised if GTA 6 is $80.

Investing in my retirement so when I’m 65, I can play TOTK whenever I want.

I will be working at home for the foreseeable future.

Any recommended docking stations? I’m planning to connect a laptop to two monitors, wired keyboard & mouse, el gato mic & camera.

Games (that have been announced) I’m looking forward to playing.
October 3, 2025 at 4:43 AM
Ghost of Yotei is so tempting but there’s just too many games coming out this fall/winter 😭

I will never understand people who say consoles need to have game releases after releases so quickly. I work M-F. I do not have time to finish one game in less than one month.

I have a feeling that people are setting really high expectations for Pokemon Z-A and will be dissapointed.

Personally, I’m excited but I will keep my expectations reasonable.

There were only two bosses I absolutely hated and dreaded fighting against again and again and again. Only for a huge sigh of relief at the end.

My top 4 enemy boss fights in Hollow Knight Silksong (ordered)

Some of the characters I died most to but had a lot of fun figuring out how to adapt to.
