Obviously you’re more than entitled to play whatever you want, but here is the developer of Knight’s Path response when someone said they’d hope there would be some LGBTQ options for romance.

Looks like I won’t miss out! Fable looks fantastic! I guess I better finish my playthrough of Fable Anniversary on the Steam Deck now 😁

Wild that the first Fable reveal didn’t mention a character creator because that one lil detail would’ve prevented months of pointless discourse.

Incredibly well deserved! A little lull at the start but it just keeps building to great conclusion!

And in a world where billionaires and corporations want you to own nothing this game is full on this disc and playable start to finish with no download. That’s something all gamers need to support.
Ghost of Yōtei was the third best-selling game in the US on PS5 in 2025 (behind NBA 2K26 and Battlefield 6)

BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

If the company that shipped Skull & Bones is telling you that they canceled a game for quality reasons, it's easy to assume that that game must've been pretty fucking bad.

Made some progress in Tomb Raider: Anniversary tonight.

No other series in the history of gaming makes my butt clench like early TR games wondering if I’m going to make a jump… or not. On the plus side by the time I’m done with this trilogy I’ll have buns of steel 🍑

Happy Friday chooms! Proof of life photo (and new pfp).

Remember to take care of yourself during these dark times and hold on to whatever brings you happiness to get you through.

Game on.

Tomb Raider: Legend complete (4th game of 2026)! I’ve never played the LAU trilogy so I’m remedying that with the Steam Deck.

Some cool moments and a good story. Controls can be frustrating at times and the story ended pretty abruptly but I enjoyed my time with it. On to TR: Anniversary!

Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

I was crushed when Wild got canceled. I really hope some version of that game gets released eventually. Such a cool concept!
January 14, 2026 at 5:22 PM
With Code Vein 2 releasing soon I decided to try the first. This game was never really on my radar but it’s actually a quite good souls-like. Story is really unique. Only about 7ish hours into it so we’ll see how it goes. Fun so far!

Everyone subscribe! I want to see the celebration video!!
This will be the year I hit 5k subscribers, I know it, and I'm manifesting it! I have a big celebration video planned for when we hit this goal as well.😏

Eriksholm complete!
2nd platinum and 3rd game of 2026 (55th platinum overall).

Fantastic little isometric stealth, puzzle game. Only took about 10 hours to complete. Great story and a great refresher from the huge RPGs that have been taking up all my time 😅
