Dipping my toes into MTG with the new Avatar: The Last Airbender set thanks to the kind people as Wizards of the Coast!

I'm super keen to dig into it, ATLA is one of my all-time favourite series!

My review for Metal Eden went up overnight. I had fun with it, but I found it was overall uninspired compared to some of its stellar competition.

I wish this was the homerun it should have been. Parsons was/is a bucket of slime. However, who is stepping up in his place isn't much better.

Justin Truman is the guy who gave THAT GDC talk in 2022.

I don't really post much (something I should probably address if im gonna be a solo writer), but I'm sharing this rad indie game I have spent a little under a week playing. Honestly, an impressive feat for a solo dev project!

After looking at the changes to 7.2 patch notes, I am once again disappointed by the war against mastery of classes/jobs. Black Mage is getting butchered.

Monster Hunter Wilds is bloody awesome but hooo boy they absolutely dropped the ball with the PC port. I'm glad that my PC can mostly stay above 60, but i feel for thise whose PC meets the requirements and can only have stable/playable frames with 🤢🤢 framegen 🤢🤢

Amidst the news this morning regarding the closure of numerous games development studios and the cancellation of projects, here is my pitch to Luigi:

1. Strauss Zelnick
2. Bobby Kotick
3. David Zaslav
4. Andrew Wilson
5. Pete Parsons

There are more for sure, but you gotta start small

A 1am power outage due to severe winds and rain was not on my bingo card for 2025 but here we are lol. Guess now is as good a time as any to stop staying up until 4am.

Finally managed to sit down and finish Metaphor: ReFantazio on the weekend, will need to set aside some time to write a formal review but in the meantime.

My God, what a fantastic game. Atlus' Studio Zero really stepped up and took the best parts of Persona and SMT, and put then in one game.

If FF14's new ultimate raids doesn't use this music for its first phase then I'll consider it a personal attack on me.

Another day, another studio closed due to publisher and executive incompetence. This industry sucks man.

Fuck Sony.

Writers: repost a random piece you're proud of.

There are quite a few pieces and reviews I'm proud of, but the review for Elden Ring continues to stand as one of my most proud pieces. Not a lot lead time, and I felt I put a lot of thought and detail into it.
