I've been on a Silent Hill kick recently. Finished the Silent Hill 2 Remake (which rules) and now I'm playing through Silent Hill f (which is also good).
I've been a huge Resident Evil fan but never really got into Silent Hill. I clearly missed out because man, these games are great! And spooky AF!

Man, my Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater coded ass brain cannot get used to the controls in Skate Story. Using circle for ollies just does not compute. And then add the triggers for tricks? Forget about it.

My Honda Civic hits the sweet spot. Physical knobs and buttons for stuff like cooling, heat, fan speed, etc., but has a touch screen for using Apple Car Play.
I couldn’t imagine trying to use a touch screen for changing the temp or something. Insane.

This is good to see. I've been driving a rental the past couple weeks (was in an accident - but just bumper damage, thankfully) and it's a VW with 90% touch driven controls. It's OK enough most of the time but if you need to quickly adjust/check something, it really sucks.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

2025 is almost over but I managed to finish all three of my Backlog Beats games with weeks to spare! Here's my final report. Looking forward to picking three new games for 2026. Cheers!

My bro @killersundin.bsky.social convinced me to play the Silent Hill 2 remake and I did not realize how awesome this game is. It’s so friggin’ good! I may need to rearrange my top 10 games of 2024 now…

Haven't played a Telltale-style narrative game in a while but the positivity around Dispatch pulled me in. It's really good!

Over the weekend my wife and I came to the (very concrete) conclusion that our Schnauzer simply does not like hanging out with other dogs. Which is unfortunate because we'd love for him to have fun and play with other pups if we're at the park, visiting friends, having family over, etc.

Damn, I thought this had been in development for longer than that... oof. Guaranteed to be the next vapourware game.
Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

In the final stretch of Metroid Prime 4 and still enjoying it. It's currently sitting at an 81 on @opencritic.bsky.social and I think that's a fitting score for it. I'm definitely not in the "game is mediocre" crowd or anything but it's also not hitting the highs of the original Prime trilogy.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a fun faux-back style beat em up but man, it’s buggy. I don’t know if it’s because we were playing online using cross play but @mike.bataligin.com and I lost level progression two separate times in one sitting.

Decent chunk into Metroid Prime 4 and, unsurprisingly, liking it a lot. Giving this game a 3/5 is just silly.

Looking at Team Canada Olympic projections and noticed a crazy stat:
The Habs are 6th-worst in Goals Against and have a -8 goal differential (they're quite bad, essentially). Nick Suzuki is a +13. One of his own teammates is a -15. Like, he has to be on Team Canada.
Anyways, back to video games.

All these expensive AF things happened within the last 3 weeks:
– Getting parts of the roof replaced after leaking
– Replacing winter tires after getting a flat
– Dog getting neutered + having a hernia removed
My wife and I just want to go on vacation gosh darn-it 😒

The first Hades is what I consider to be the pinnacle of the roguelike genre. And then Supergiant went ahead and made an even better one. So yeah, Hades II rules.

It's kind of crazy that tomorrow is December and my potential Game of the Year still hasn't come out (yes, I'm very excited for Metroid Prime 4 👀).

I finished the story in Pokémon Legends: Z-A last night and I might be in the minority considering what I've read online, but I really liked it! One of my favourite games of the year and likely a top 10 game for me.

My little man is getting his first surgeries done today ❤️ (Neuter and hernia removal if you’re curious). Can’t wait to see him again in a few hours, he may be high AF 😂
