Just a Dad in his early thirties talking about games.
I think I'm going to play Skyrim soon and see what all the hype is about.

I don't think I have ever disliked as many Pokémon designs as I have the megas in Pokémon Legends Z-A.

There seems to be a method with some developers of putting in AI slop and when someone notices they claim "oh it was a placeholder we swear please forgive us 👉👈 we won't do it again"

Ubisoft says AI-generated art in Anno 117 was a placeholder which ‘slipped through our review process’ | VGC
The team uses AI for “iterations, prototyping and exploration”…

I think my 2026 gaming calendar is going to be filled with a lot of retro titles and whatever I can get on Game Pass, plus one or two Nintendo first-party titles.

Want to save some money next year. Exception for Day #1 brand new game would be Final Fantasy Remake pt 3.

I'd love to know the truth behind GTA6. It could be that it's a genuine delay to polish the game and live up to expectations.

...or development hell.

I suspect the former, but it would be cool to know.

Some good games this November on the Switch 2.

Far from rock bottom imo. Not unless he's on the brink of homelessness, needing to apply for social housing while sending his CV to hundreds of employers desperately trying to get a job to scrimp money together.

Is this finally rock bottom for Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor?
Stripping Andrew of the title 'prince' is colossal, says the BBC's royal correspondent Sean Coughlan.

Oh I am excited.

But I also feel dread that a pandemic is on its way due mid-January.

This game got me good.

Didn't know what to expect going in. But my time with it was incredible. Loved every minute.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a masterpiece. It's an engaging game from start to finish, and a must have for your Nintendo Switch library.

The small amount of time allotted for PLZA's Season 1 and obtaining the Greninja Mega Stone award is making me anxious. I'm probably like half-way through the game right now, but I haven't had time to really jump online and grind it out.

I already have this on PC and basically portable with my Steam Deck, but I want it on my Switch 2 as well.

Not surprising given the recent feedback from those who got to play the game early.

Glad that its been delayed and hopefully it releases in a stable state for the Nintendo Switch 2.

I love Sakurai. I love Kirby. I love Nintendo.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

But after the original 45~ minute direct for Kirby Air Riders, I'm not sure we need another one that's an hour long.

Does Twitter actually have any kind of support these days?

I love this game. If you haven't played it, you really should.

I’m really not sure that Kirby Air Riders needs another 60 minute direct

I am 100% replaying this game on the fierce difficulty setting.
