Spooky 1UP Vault 🎃 @1upvault.bsky.social · Mar 30

Going to track all the 2025 games I either finish, play, or watch a whole Let’s Play. It’s a big year for gaming.

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.

My daughter just told me she needs an Alexa in her room. I asked her why and she said it wasn’t fair only the adults (me and my wife) have it.

Not sure why anyone would be offended, maybe I’m not normal lol

BTW out of all these I’m with you on RDR2, I got pretty far and then life kind of got in the way. Would love to jump back in someday.

I might end up game hopping between a few games through the rest of the month and November (just like last year)

Abandoning games is not something I do lightly anymore. But there was a time (before I started game hopping more), when I would do it way more often.

Here are 10 that I want to go back to pretty soon. A lot of heavy hitters on here. You WILL be offended.

My Top 10 Games I Abandoned And Need To Play Again

Yes, video games are expensive these days. But I think we still underestimate just how much value a video game can have in terms of the amount of time they can entertain you compared to the amount …

So this was planned to be a big week for 1UP Vault but I ended up dealing with a neck pain issue. The pain was giving me an off and on headache. I’ll have a cool article tomorrow that was meant for today. I’m starting to feel better at least.

Lies of P, great Soulslike with a twist on the Pinocchio story and some really cool moments and bosses. The best part, they added an easy mode recently for non-Souls fans that can try it out.

This Gen is going to be known for its performance and quality of life upgrades. The loading speeds returning to the cartridge era days alone is big.

Spooky 1UP Vault 🎃 @1upvault.bsky.social · 1d

Going to call it now and say this upcoming gen is going to have a rough start in terms of consoles sales. I do think it’ll pick up as it enters its midlife and people want to upgrade (plus hopefully a better economy), but lots of normies will stick with what they have.

Both PS6 and the next Xbox are planned for a 2027 release, according to separate reports.

Rally to the flag moments have been weak in a post 9/11 world. Obama getting Bin Laden should’ve skyrocketed his approval and it went from late forties to mid 50s instead. Those bounces are dead in such a divided country.

I’m not so sure about that.

Palestinian supporters don’t seem happy.

Jews are happy the remaining hostages are free but most of us also know Trump is a Nazi.

Everyone else? Yeah, probably a small bump but I don’t think it’ll break thru ICE/Tariffs/Shutdown/Premium Hikes for most.

Dems aren’t ready for Trump’s Gaza bounce.

No comment on all the hack stuff but I wish AAA game budgets were public like the film industry, fascinating seeing them

Spooky season continued on last night as @1upvault.bsky.social and I talked about 1942's CAT PEOPLE & 2021's RE: VILLAGE.

We also talked about the latest in movies (#Roofman, #KissOfTheSpiderWoman, #TronAres) and gaming (#XBox leaving middle-class stores):

Ghost of Yōtei kept me hooked for over 60 hours. Atsu is a compelling new lead, the open world feels more alive and rewarding, quests intertwine naturally, and the combat stays flashy and brutal from start to finish.

Here's my full, spoiler-free review 👇

It may not reinvent the wheel, but Ghost of Yōtei delivers constant thrills with its combat, atmosphere, and a captivating new protagonist.

Sorry to hear that

100 years ago news @100yearsagonews.bsky.social · 2d

Oct. 13, 1925: Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" who pulled British politics to the right as the first female prime minister, is born (as Roberts) in Grantham. Her polarizing record included breaking unions, waging the Falklands War and backing Reagan's hawkish Cold War stance.
