Here's every game I played in 2025, starting with #DynastyWarriorsOrigins. I've played 50 hours (and counting) and yeah, I dug the hell out of it.
Perfect entry point for newcomers, but if you're a long time fan this is nothing less than a second coming.
Full review soon!

every time the #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS soundtrack comes on shuffle it bums me out. Can't remember the last time I saw a film squander its own potential like this.

if I had a nickel for every time @annapurna.com published a game about a burned out warrior learning to heal and rehabilitate through friendship and cosy gameplay loops, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I haven't seen many reviews for Bounty Star (mine's coming real soon, I promise) but for now I want to urge y'all to not sleep on this gem of a game @annapurna.com.
It's a classical old western (but with mech battles) with immaculate vibes, evocative imagery, and some utterly gorgeous prose.

the whole news cycle around Sucker Punch "teasing" their next game being Sly is one of the stupidest, most shamelessly clickbaity things I've seen in years. Even supposedly 'respectable' outlets have been running with it.
Really a new low for mainstream games journalism.

The Callisto Protocol.
Hated every second of it. Played it a second time JUST because one trophy bugged out and it was the only one stopping the platinum from popping.
Not my proudest moment.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

collar gate is the latest instance of a trumped-up non-issue blossoming into a large-scale psychosis event – and possibly the dumbest. it's also the modern internet doing exactly what it was engineered to do

90% of when people say stuff like "oh I was into that thing but then I grew out of it", what they really mean to say is being employed in a late capitalist economy has drained them of their desire and ability to enjoy things.

someone JUST has to make Jalopy-but-with-spaceships, man. I want to pick up a shitty hyperdrive from a dude behind a diner. I want a cockpit dashboard cluttered with loose cans and toolboxes.

Haven't never played any mainline Silent Hill games or even last year's SH2 remake, I can't tell you how it holds up against them. But as a survival horror game release in 2025, experienced in isolation, #silenthillf is an all-time great.

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

Potentially controversial take that nobody under 30 would care about:
The best Evanescence songs were ones that were just Amy Lee on a piano. She should give up the "rock goddess" act and just write piano ballads. She does that better than anyone else.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.
