I tried to explain this game to a zoomer friend about a month ago and with every word I spoke I made less sense. He just stared at me all slack jaw.

Not enough video games set at Christmas IMO. We need a Shane Black of video games, compelled to shove tinsel and whatnot into everything they do.

I can only replay Bayonetta 2 so many times during the holiday season.

At the Saint Louis Zoo, one-year-old rockhopper penguin Bumi had a blast with bubble enrichment! Keepers set up a bubble machine for the indoor habitat at Penguin & Puffin Coast for a fun bubble party!! 🫧🥳🫧 #WildlifeWednesday

Another frustration for me is how inconsistent subtitles tend to be from series to series and platform to platform. My neurospicy loadout benefits from subtitles for dubbed shows, and its a toss up whether they made/offer closed captions based on the dub script vs the literal translation.

Rewatched Tron Legacy and found it to be even more frustrating clunky and boring than when I saw it in 2010.

Then I rewatched the pilot for Tron Uprising and was hooting and hollering the whole time. I forgot they basically made Tron Andor: The Anime with this show. Absolute peak Tron.

I played the demo back when it hit Steam and my heart grew three times that day. 🥰

In a just world, we would have a HiFi Rush style music/character action game based on #KPopDemonHunters well into production.

Its something animators have as a tradition for decades, a nod to a seminal film that shaped the medium forever. I think that's neat and fine.

If Samus doesn’t do the Akira bike slide in #MetroidPrime4, what’s the point of anything anymore?

Which is why I think it’s up to some industrious indie to make a TMNT like :p
