Bad art is a necessary step to making good art, and all artists were bad until they weren't. Very few come out of the womb with a Cintiq stylus in their hand.
Please don't ever stop creating things.

I consider Donkey Kong Bananza to basically be Mario Odyssey 2.
It's definitely different, but they share so much DNA that it feels like an excellent sequel to me.
Looking forward to Mario Odyssey 3: Ice Climbers

With the price of PC components exploding, I hope a side effect is greater interest in SBC game handhelds companies like Anbernic make
Pico-8 works great, and games like Iconoclasts and Undertale can run on most firmwares that Portmaster supports
Be cool to see new games come out for them

Game idea:
Armored Crossing
Instead of paying off your mortgage, you're working to pay off increasingly expensive upgrades to your mech
Also you plant flowers and go fishing.

My top 3 2025 games for Nintendo Switch 2 (in no specific order):
- Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Cyberpunk 2077
These were all a blast, and I recommend them if you're considering it.

I am disappointed by the use of genAI by a studio who has historically made things I really like.
Their latest trailer had me hyped, and this AI conversation really took the wind out of its sails.

Larger games like BotW and TotK look fantastic on Switch 2's giant screen, but I do miss 3DS XL-sized handhelds.

Proton is already witchcraft to me, so the Steam Frame running desktop games on an ARM chip is another layer deep of mindblowing.
If this is something like Proton where I could run other apps through it, it will be a game changer for mobile.

Basically cooking mama, but grilling. Cook burgers, steaks, chicken, veggies, etc. Make marinades. Grill tomatillos and blend into a salsa verde.

For years, Tony Yacenda's "American Vandal" has been my favorite Netflix show, but I never watched "Players," his eSports follow-up. Found out it was all on an official YouTube playlist. Blasted through it in 3 days. Phenomenal. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

There are so many talented indie animators with stuff on Youtube.
Even the rougher stuff, I'm impressed by the work people have put in. You can really feel the effort and vision.

I really hope Yooka Replaylee is good, and if it is, that it sells well enough to make more.

Silksong, after 9 months of game releases all hoping to become game of the year:
Game difficulty is a nuanced subject, but I tend to side more with the pro-artist side of things.
With that said, the first major patch for Silksong is decreasing early game difficulty and I support that, too, for the same reasons.

Silksong has been so fantastic.
It scratches that Hollow Knight itch in a way that sequels don't often do for me. It retains everything - EVERYTHING - I loved, while feeling different enough to have its own identity.
