The short term dopamine fix of legendary drops in Borderlands 4
Vs

In June I played I am Your Beast from @strangescaffold.bsky.social
Absolutely loved it, a great concept that doesn’t over stay its welcome!

Just finished my Game Club’s first pick for 2025, “Aer: Memories of Old”

Hush, nobody tell him about Goodreads and Infinite Backlog
Books and videogames are crazy. Like once you finish them, you don’t even log them on letterboxd. You just move on, like this was all for yourself and your mind…
