My other fitness achievements for the year 2025.
How much I walked, ran, core and strength training workouts.

At the beginning of the year could only curl 10 lb dumbbells. Now I’m using 25 lb dumbbells and have been improving my overall upper body and core strength.

My #PlayStation 2025 Wrap-Up.

#PanzerDragoonRemake was only my top game cause of that one trophy for 100 hours of gameplay (not sure why it logged it at 99 hours but I still got the trophy.)

4 out of top 5 played for @caneandrinse.com podcast. Add #BluePrince to the list please!!!

My thoughts on #Turrican feat. @caneandrinse.com Ep 699.

I didn’t grow up with Amiga, C64, ZX Spectrum or TG-16. Most of the platforms this released on.

Confusing game, I hope the sequels have improved game design. I wanted to like this game. I just didn’t.

Loved hearing the crew’s thoughts.

My thoughts on Sin and Punishment as read out @caneandrinse.com #698

I was a Nintendo kid, then PlayStation teen, so I didn’t grow up on Treasure games since most of those were on Sega consoles.

For some reason my brain couldn’t get past the controls. Good game though.

With sad news I must report that I have finished listening to all episodes of the #SoundofPlay podcast and have no new episodes to listen to.

The @caneandrinse.com crew stated it may return in some form later on. 🤞

I know it stopped in 2021. I was late to the party. But good music never expires!

My comments on #SonicAdventure as featured on latest @caneandrinse.com podcast episode. I haven’t played all the 3D Sonic games and I’ve heard a lot of bad things but I still enjoy this game. It has faults and Big the Cat still makes no sense.

The gameplay is refined in the sequel though.

I enjoyed my time with Dark Cloud. An enjoyable yet possibly emotional devastating experience. Although I learned from listening to this podcast episode there’s a glitch to get amazing weapon stats and money.

So… both Chris’s are dirty cheaters. 😂

I bow to Brian for getting platinum, Bravo sir!

Over the last couple of months I have for the 1st time played and finished both DS Zelda games.

Both are wonderful games. I enjoyed Spirit Tracks more than Phantom Hourglass. PH was too tedious and ST has loads of charm.

My thoughts on Castlevania Legends from recent @caneandrinse.com podcast.

Really? $2,500?? I could never afford to be a collector.

Not every game is everyone’s cup of tea. I was never really a fan of the Gauntlet games, past or present.

I will say the games are not bad. Just not something I prefer to play. Maybe if I had a close group of friends to play them with locally, I would feel different.

@itsleah.bsky.social It’s definitely the eyes. 💯 👀

Here’s my thoughts on Super Mario Land 2, included on the @caneandrinse.com podcast.

Wario’s origin. He was not drawn well. But an amazingly fun and short Mario platformer. Worth playing on the Switch if you never played the Gameboy original.

Grrrr 😖
In my @caneandrinse.com backlog, I’ve been trying to play Rhythm Heaven for episode 45 (I did say backlog). However haven’t owned a DS in a long time and only have emulation as an option.

But I cannot get past the 1st Remix stage. Might be time for me to throw in the towel. 😩

As I stated in my comment, this game brought me so much joy. If you own a PS5 you owe it to yourself to play this game. It’s that good.

Love listening to older @caneandrinse.com episodes as part of my backlog (and goal to complete or play every game covered) and hearing @itsleah.bsky.social introduced as a guest.

I’m like, fool, she’s a regular.

Also, Zelda The Minish Cap, great freaking Zelda game.

17 hours?!? That is the longest I have ever played any PlayStation game with Trophy support before earning my first trophy for that game. Wow.

On the plus side, my wife and I are totally addicted to Blue Prince.

@caneandrinse.com, please add this one to the list for a future podcast episode!!!

Listening to my favorite podcast’s newest episode over Resident Evil 4 remake (2023) and my feedback got read out. Thanks @caneandrinse.com!

Love this game. Also thank you to Brian Edward’s comments regarding my feedback.

Stray, what a wonderful game. One my wife and I loved playing together. I loved it so much I’m working towards that platinum trophy. Only took several hours of trying to get that one of not getting grabbed by the Zurks. Only the 2 hour speed run left.

That game with the cat. Actually - as we briefly discuss in this podcast - there are loads of games with cats. But we’re talking about this one: Stray. Leon, Jay, Tom, Tony and community contributors ...
