🎮 I try to play a bit of everything 🕹️
I’m here for all things gaming.
And the robots, I’m here for robots too.

No one can agree on who/what my voice sounds like.

Absolutely DROWNING in games at the moment, and it’s only gonna get busier with Avowed, Tomb Raider 4-6, Nightreign Network Test, the Steam Next Fest, Monster Hunter Wilds, and that’s only February 😵‍💫 It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and exhilarating and I LOVE it. Games are so wonderful.

Want to see something cool? We revisited the real library that inspired the one in Moss!

This would be perfect paired with the Moss Book 2 soundtrack: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I hate posting to YouTube shorts. I get the most angry, mean, and just needlessly cruel comments over there. Very glad that TikTok is still kicking. I don’t think I would have made it past three posts if I’d started on YouTube shorts.

TikTok going kaput stinks for a million reasons (I’m totally being selfish when I say this), but I’m way bummed that I no longer have the sizable following I had. I loved having game devs reach out to me. 🥲 Way nicer than having to work through proxy content creator sites. Mega bummed about it. 🙁

Forced my parents to watch ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ all so I that I can force them to one day watch ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’.

Fun night! I think they enjoyed it. I completely agree with my mom’s ranking of a ‘B’ for SH2.

I’ve never live-streamed my reaction to a gaming showcase before, but I just might do it for next week’s Xbox Developer Direct. On the one hand, it could be fun! On the other hand, I might scream with too much excitement about Doom: The Dark Ages & South of Midnight….
January 17, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Ah the eternal quandary of being excited to see people’s reactions to new & exciting gaming news but, unfortunately, having to see people’s reactions to new & exciting gaming news. 😔

Switch 2 hardware looks sleek! The potential for the joy cons having mouse capability is WACKY and I’d love to see some games take advantage of that.

My only gripe is that, at a glance, the joy cons don’t seem much more comfortable to hold… Maybe they are in practice! TBD

I’m calmly waiting for the day that a Path of Exile 2 player can tell me about the game without simultaneously expressing contempt for some facet of Diablo 4.

As Hazel hones her skills as a Weaver, players will have the ability to upgrade her weaving powers, allowing her to push, pull, dodge, and immobilize enemies during combat.

The absolute WORST part of watching a trailer on YouTube for an upcoming superhero film, is that my YouTube is now inundated with superhero stuff which I just couldn’t give less of a crap about.

TikTok is one step closer to being banned. Bummer. That’s the most followers I’ve ever amassed on any platform, and it’s how I got some cool contacts in the game industry. Wouldn’t have been able to get some preview and game keys without it.

Bummer. 🙁

From all the posts and comments I’ve seen, I feel like a vocal handful of people want to play Path of Exile 2 not because they love PoE, but because they just REALLY hate Diablo.

Both games can exist! I really don’t understand the hyper angry vitriol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
December 6, 2024 at 7:50 PM
So, what this is saying is that @xbox.com would really miss me if I ever disappeared? Not as much as I’d miss them probably, but still!
