I am really not looking forward to the Expedition 33 “is it an indie game” debate.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is easily the longest a playthrough of a game has ever taken me. I've enjoyed my time with it overall, but I've taken multiple breaks over the course of the year. There's a love/hate relationship with how I want to approach the game's systems --

Xenoblade Chronicles X releasing today means it is the perfect time for me to start Xenoblade Chronicles 1 for the first time 😅
Hopefully I can finish it before Expedition 33 🤞

Kirby Air Riders Test Ride Early Thoughts:
After about two hours with the demo, here are my early and way too many thoughts. Going to make a lot of comparisons from the new Kirby Air Riders (Riders) to Kirby Air Ride (KAR).
City Trial:
-Feels much more like a battle mode than it did in KAR.

So I tagged along with the podcast (which you should definitely listen to) and gave my own predictions *before* hearing @bignerdgaming.bsky.social and @hananomaude.bsky.social picks/reasoning.

I never want to hand out 10/10s easily. I also want to avoid extreme statements unless I really mean them.
So when I tell you that Hades 2 is a 10/10 and the best roguelike of all time, you can be assured that I mean it.

Everyone who knows me a little knows I’m terrible with horror games. I think it all started with a certain Xbox 360 game.
It has one thing in common with Silent Hill 2: mannequins. Those damn mannequins.
