PSA for fellow ROG Ally (X) owners:
The new Xbox FSE is *amazing*.
Do NOT sleep on this toolkit if you like a console-like experience and want to skip Windows boot mode.
Think Steam big picture mode.
It also aggregates your games from all storefronts, and boots their launchers so easy. 😍

40. Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (PS5) I have no shame that I love FMV games. Especially Wales Interactive. This one was made during lockdown, so it’s all done via webcam. But it’s a scream. I spent a few hours uncovering the mystery and had a blast. A well crafted FMV whodunit.

Lyrics heard wrong, Brian edition, part 5,985:
La Isla Bonita by Madonna. The first time I heard this song, I was like did she just say “Last night I dreamt of some bagels??” 😂 Because…Girl, same.

39. Concrete Genie (PS5). This is a love letter to creatives and dreamers. What a masterpiece. I was thrilled to finally play this one. Beautiful story, visuals, AND music. But, seriously what was with that shift in tone from chill to bullet hell at the end? 😂 Play this game! Love. It.

I have wanted to play Concrete Genie for years…YEARS! OMG This game is *magical* and exactly what I needed right now. What a beautiful game, and such a moving story. I don’t want it to end. 💙 I am SO angry that this dev was shuttered. We need and deserve more games like this. We were robbed. 😭

38. Until Dawn (2015 on PS5) As I’ve said, I am a HUGE Supermassive Games fan, so I’m thrilled I got to play. This was an interesting mix of horror movies. And, while it would’ve been stronger to stick to one theme, I enjoyed it. I now see how my fav The Quarry is a spiritual successor.

37. Ghost of Tsushima (PS5) Im glad I got to play this one, but I’m conflicted.
+Beautiful Visuals
+Jin Sakai
+Companions
+Voice Acting
+Foxes
+Duals
But it was brought down by:
-Overpadding
-Non-Skippable text/scenes
-Egregious collectibles
-Leveling system
-Audio
-Camera
-Ending

Good morning! Coffee and a donut enjoyed. I’m organizing my game room. Then it’s time for some PS5 goodness. I’m playing Dying Light the Beast with @taakebanke.bsky.social and then exploring more in Ghost of Tsushima solo. It’s gonna be a great day folks! What do you have planned?
