Just a chill, nerdy guy with social anxiety who likes video games, music, and tech, and wants an outlet to break out of his shell.
Pinned
Haven't done a #promosky in a long while, but if you like:
🎮 No console bias
🎮 JRPGs
🎮 Metroidvanias
🎮 Zelda
🎮 Yakuza
🎮 Indies
🎵 Metal
🎵 Jazz
🎵 Alternative
🚫🤖 Anti-genAI
Then we'll probably get along. Just be aware I may struggle to interact sometimes due to social/generalized anxiety disorder.

Lots of great looking games on this list. I just wish I could muster up any actual hype. Definitely more of a me problem than anything.
Well Dweller I will be there day-one, but otherwise so far I'm happy to keep (re)playing what's already in my library.

If you aren't excited about gaming in 2026, well, you should be!
As great as the last few years have been, I have a feeling 2026 will be even better. I have 25 games I'm very hyped for. 13 indies, and 12 AAA/AA. Here they are!

Considering I’ve already finished 4 games this year - already coming up on 25% of what I finished all of last year - I think my plan of making a specific list of to-plays has really helped me focus and complete more than I have in a while.
I’m not just looking for numbers either, it’s all been fun.

The post-game depression/indecision after this is real. Even beyond my thoughts on the game itself, experiencing such a strong story "conclusion" after playing 3-5 the past few months has me feeling unsure where to go from here.
Game 4 - Yakuza 6
Absolute cinema.
This cements Kiryu as one of gaming's best protagonists.
RGG's storytelling chops continually improved across the series and this was perhaps their best yet.

I can't imagine I'll get many likes on this, so I will try and challenge myself to think of somewhat more obscure games.

I don't generally care about music videos, but Bilmuri makes some great ones. I've endured enough bad PowerPoint and similar presentations to genuinely love this one. (See also "LIFTHEAVYSTONEMAKESADHEADVOICEQUIET")

Oysterhead is probably my favorite of Les Claypool’s non-Primus bands, though the Claypool Lennon Delirium is a close runner up.

Jesse Lacey is my biggest “separate the art from the artist” hurdle. Hate him for the credible allegations, but this song is an absolutely heartbreaking tribute and their albums ‘Deja Entendu’ and ‘Science Fiction’ are masterpieces, IMO.

Epic Games has begun allowing Fortnite creators to implement in-game transactions directly from custom maps.
The result has been pricey bundles and one of the most popular custom games turning into what one Fortnite creator called "a gambling game targeted towards kids who don’t know any better.”

Played the demo and instantly bought it. Wave based survivor gameplay a la Brotato with a perfectly emulated PS1 aesthetic.
This could be a dangerous one for me.

Verified this is real using Nitter. Sweeney keeps outdoing himself with absolute garbage takes on everything.
I can't/won't force people how to spend their time or money, but my decision to completely boycott Epic Games is only ever reinforced. I would recommend anyone seeing this to do the same.
