Keeper is the most quintessential release for @xbox.com and GamePass yet. This is how Phil talked about GamePass to start. A platform where studios can chase after smaller more artsy projects without the worry of finances. Let games continue to be art and experienced.

Lost films are a known part of film history and unfortunately it’s inevitable that games are going to have their own lost video games category in the future. I take a look at this and why we should address it.

Best way to get me to buy a Pokemon game? Shinies

Rebekah Valentine @duckvalentine.bsky.social · 5d

i've caught three shinies so far (four if you count the story-mandated shiny, similar to the Ponyta sidequest in Arceus)

We’ve seen a bunch of Xbox studios collaborate with each other in projects even seeing Obsidian reach out to Double Fine with Outer Worlds 2. Did Double a fine reach out for any input in Keeper?

When/where can we pre-order? Like to support yall directly if possible

Another morning waking up to “Xbox is leaving the console market” again.

I’m tired man, I just want to talk about cool games without the garbage on the side.

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 11d

What’s everyone’s opinions on GoTY Top 10 lists?

Keep it exclusively to games that released that calendar year?
Open to anything “new” you experienced that year even if released year or so before?
Any game you happened to play/enjoy?
Struggling to fill out our top 10 shortlist already

The drop off in the last like 2hrs of Silent Hill f is so disheartening to the overall experience

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 12d

Outside of price hikes being purely greed driven… I really don’t have an issue with GamePass price increase. I’m still getting my value and playing fast more than 5 new titles a year

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 13d

I’m honestly very pleased with how this episode came out. With drastic changes outside of our control it’s nice to approach things with a calm mind and open mind. Check out our thoughts on Xbox in 2025 👇 👇👇

Xbox could literally shut down tomorrow, IPs sold off to EA, Ubisoft and Nintendo. Gamepass gone in its entirety. PS raising game prices to $100 baseline and yall would STILL be out here finding reasons to talk shit about Xbox

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 16d

When is “the scene” everyone was freaking out about in Silent Hill f? Just made it through the mountain pass and feel like I recently came across it but not sure it warranted everyone’s reaction

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 16d

I just came across the most “WTF?l boss I could’ve imagined this year. Silent Hill be throwing out the most wild of concepts

If you need a clean pair of teeth like this to help review Keeper Mabel said she’d love to take a look and talk about it on our podcast 👀

BadlandsBacklogs @badlandsbacklogs.bsky.social · 17d

Mabel will help spread the good word of Double Fine dogs in North Dakota!
