My explosive excitement in discovering that Brad Bird has revived Ray Gunn - a movie he was trying to get off the ground before directing The Iron Giant decades ago - was immediately undone as soon as I saw who’s distributing it 😑

Kirby's Dream Land 2: First-time playthrough! I know this is a fan-favorite entry, but I didn't vibe with the animal friends like most people. Trying out the many different ability combinations is fun, but like... only 3 of them are actually useful. Fine game, just not for me 🤷♂️

Kirby's Dream Land: It takes 10-20 minutes to play through Kirby's first game, and even without his signature copy abilities, the little guy can still throw hands. It's a game that respects your time, fully exploring Kirby's inhale/projectile powers before rolling credits.

Burning through Kirby games in preparation for Air Riders, starting with...
Kirby Super Star: Probably the best 2D Kirby game, and STILL one of the most approachable retro games ever made. I mean it when I say ANYONE can pick this up and have an amazing time, from Spring Breeze to Milky Way Wishes.

I was so overwhelmed by all the info in the second Kirby Air Riders Direct that I completely missed that Noriyuki Iwadare, who's composed most of the Ace Attorney games, is the game's co-composer alongside the incredible Shogo Sakai! This game could not be more "for me" if it tried 🫠

If I had a nickel for every song from a rock band dedicated to a boy named Julian that featured life advice, group-singing, and tons of “na na na’s” at the end, I’d have 2 nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

I spent so much time with Super Mario Galaxy growing up. I played it, finished it, then restarted it on repeat. I spent hours just running around the Comet Observatory. I was an absolute fiend for this game.
I never knew Mario could crouch-attack until literally yesterday.

10 years ago, the Game Grumps channel put up the 1st part of the Steam Train Undertale series. A minute in, @barrykramer.bsky.social & @rubberross.bsky.social said “if this game looks interesting to you, stop watching this and go play it.” So I did just that, and the rest is history. Thanks guys 😊

I played a ton of Emerald Rush in Donkey Kong Bananza over the weekend and I loved it. I know Nintendo’s pricing of basically everything it releases is rightfully concerning, but I got 15 great hours out of Emerald Rush and I’m only halfway through. Totally worth the price if you ask me 👍

Happy 10th birthday to UNDERTALE, one of my favorite video games of all time and what I also consider one of the greatest games ever made. Toby Fox told a story about the ways we connect with fiction and we, in turn, connected with his fiction so powerfully and so immediately.
