Already, placing some (modest) bets. If Capcom gives us winter-themed SF6 costumes this month OR reveals a big unexpected content update for the title at TGA, I will play and review Capcom All Stars.
Otherwise, I'll do a CotW review

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Metroid 4 being such a mixed bag makes me so happy.
Like I love when companies take some bold swings and the fanbase grumbles about it because it means I have to play the game to decide how I feel.
Can't wait to get it for Christmas

Stop making games *for* YouTubers
Riot finally buying a spot at TGAs to reveal their latest character feels like the game's early access isn't going as well as they had hoped.
Learning that YouTuber enthusiasm is not equivalent to mainstream adoption is a hard lesson

Cannot stress how incredible it is to be a geek in this era rather than in the '90s. You can find every type of person at Tokyo Comic Con.
If you think geekdom is lame nowadays, that's so on you.

Ok, the ice belt area in metroid prime 4, that's pretty much peak metroid prime right there. That bit on its own is absolutely terriffic. If that bit on its own was an independently made small scale game, it would be a 10/10.

People need to play more games than make a decision from Metacritic.
"Why would a game I played in my teens be one of my favorites and have none of the sequels live up to it?" is a question I think they know the answer to

The most frustrating part about all of the Bayonetta VA situation was the union's emptiness. Both belonged to the same union. The union prob helped negotiate it.
And companies go through unions to avoid bad PR like this, but it didn't help.

Is Phil Spencer and Tim @ Epic happy?
Does forcing their fans to reluctantly leave the thing that has brought them joy for years make them crack out a cold one and chill with mates?
What happened to "I made a cool game / DLC / expansion. Come and check it out"?

Marvel Cosmic Legends is 4,400 yen despite being a $30 U.S. game.
Bonkers pricing from the publisher.
Can't afford that. Japanese salaries are lower than U.S. ones. You have to price them correct locally.
Will wait and pick up Metroid Prime 4 next salary instead

Google killing the internet because less and less people want to be guzzled into their AI app, so they simply clock out and stop posting pictures or even believing things online.
(I don't use the internet a lot less now than I did a year ago due to AI, and it sucks.)

Gamers: I hate micro transactions, they shouldn't exist.
Also gamers: every single game should get regular updates and new content for years after release, without me having to pay for it.
Personally I don't like the predatory microtransactions, but I think extra money for extra content is fine.
