Yakuza Kiwami does feel like a bit of a step down from the high bar set by Yakuza 0, but it remains an engaging, moving, and hilarious experience that successfully honors the beginning of Kiryu's legend.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.

Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Finally, Taylor from @jetsonplaysgames.com, who reached out to create a piece for them. What ensued was a walk down memory lane, reminiscing about my profound conversations with the guests of my Little Victories podcast and sharing my sensible conclusions.

Thank you so much for giving me a chance.

Compile: Main 2 is a standalone expansion to Main 1, but is more than worthy of your time on its own.

The totality of the messaging in UNBEATBLE does come out a bit saccharine, but if you stick all the way through it, you might just come out a bit better for it.

At the beginning of the year, I launched a podcast called Little Victories with the intent of interviewing game developers about their craft. As the year ends, Taylor from Jetson Plays Games was graceful enough to let me write about the seven lessons these luminaries taught me, and hopefully you.

Ultimately, Up or Down? lands at strictly party fare, with a distinct lack of true strategic elements or player-to-player interactivity.
