Some other #TGS25 notes:
Played Tanuki and it was more THPSy than expected 🛹
PVKK brought their custom controller and it looks _wild_ 🤖
Hyperfunk had a demo, which I wasn’t expecting 🛼
Checked out the Genki Covert Dock 3 and it works as advertised with Switch 2, so I ordered one 🍄

Returning from #TGS25 ✈️
Capcom is killing it lately, enjoyed all of the titles at their booth (RE9, Pragmata and Onimusha)
Critical Reflex had an IRL setup for Buckshot Roulette - the queue was too long for me but it looked very cool

the Blue Prince Discourse is a Thing, so we started a new save to verify our feelings and:

Blue Prince reviews are up and yep - this game is a keeper.

Went to a steak cooking workshop during the weekend and it was great! A very laid-back experience and the food was lovely (even better since we cooked it ourselves) 🐮
