Probably the biggest problem with being a game critic is you never hear what other people think of you

Absolutely nuts that anyone could look at this and be like, yeah that's a series we should essentially let lie dead/dormant/fallow for 20 years and counting
The Highland Cliffs Opus battle is the hardest race in the game, and the one I saved for last! You need to memorize the track and if you make any mistakes, it's back to the beginning

I reckon about once a month I think about how stupid it is that the PSVR2 doesn't play PSVR1 games

if you'll allow me to do this bsky wholesome self love thing here for a sec, I reckon I'm pretty alright at reviewing video games
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

It's fucked up that no game has ever affirmed your identity as a wheelman

out of desperation I tried the Pro Team multiplayer mode where people make teams with card packs and I only matched against people with maxed out amazing teams and they seemed to love to showboat while they slaughter my super weak starting squad. Here lies my AFL26 online career died as it lived
The AFL26 online is so low population that most of the time you match against the all time number 1 player on the leaderboards who has 900+ wins and about 50 losses and let me tell you it is not a fun experience playing that guy

Fully aware I'm preaching to the choir here but I just went on twitter out of morbid curiosity and good lord has it gone down the shitter. It's more or less a feed of people you should block lol. Or people quoting people you should block

I'm currently infatuated by video game novelisations/spin-off novels (high class reading). Like what's going on in the two Perfect Dark novels? Or the Runescape novels? I've always known about these but I must know more so I've acquired a bunch to read. more to come

I only knew of Vince Zampella through his work which massively shaped my taste in games. Allied Assault was an eye-opener for what was possible in video games for me, and his CoD games were so refined that their formula is evergreen 20 odd years on. What awful news to wake up to.

DRIV3R was where gaming peaked

currently debating whether I give Expedition 33 another try as someone who found the combat boring. I could just mod out the combat but that feels shameful? I should be shamed for that, right? do I just cut my losses and not try play it again? this tweet is about as melodramatic as Expedition 33

Avatar 3 is good fun. I don't think it hits Avatar 1 magic for me (an Avatar 1 sicko), but it's a great time in its own way. I'm especially glad it focused way less on that annoying group of kids from 2. And it'll always be nice that Avatar is uncompromising in it's wholesome messaging and visuals

NEW VIDEO! The Shield is one of the greatest shows ever made... but did you know that it has a PS2 game? That said game is considered to be one of the worst ever?

Well, I played it. It's awful. It's also wildly ambitious in ways I didn't expect. Find out why in this analysis—enjoy!

NEW VIDEO! To me, the best satire helps us envision a better world. Grand Theft Auto, as made by a Rockstar that treats its workers as terribly as it has done, says this is as good as it gets. Here's a video discussing why I've personally had enough of that.

Enjoy! Shares appreciated!

Forestrike Review: Mastering the Deja-Fu Roguelite
Despite a steeper-than-usual learning curve, some balance issues, and dealing with bad RNG at the start, Forestrike is one of the few games where you feel like mastering a martial arts skill.

I randomly got hooked on the Mario Tennis Gameboy Advance game because it turns out it's a really charming light RPG where the tennis matches are like instanced battles, and no Mario characters even turn up until 3+ hours into it. Truly fascinating stuff from Nintendo here I tell ya

after reading some video game related discussion online (I do not recommend doing this) I'd like to say that a lot of video game enjoyers really need to expand their horizons into also enoying other formats of art and media. like read a book. at least pop a movie on. anything
December 4, 2025 at 9:05 PM
niche post but I've been playing Session again because Skate does not spark joy and I still have such a mixed reaction to it. The ethos of it is so cool but then it can't really handle sharp changes of angles on the ground, gaining speed never feels right, and the presentation is so lifeless

as a Wicked part 1 enjoyer I did not enjoy Wicked part 2 at all. It gave me It: Chapter 2 vibes. Game of Thrones final seasons vibes, even. No good
