It’s a little funny how the merch (pops, shirts, figures) that are based on #StarWars #TheAcolyte are all sitting in bulk with the clearance section at GameStop… And I mean BULK 📦

Nobody wants them at all. And it clearly shows. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

A lot of people discussing GOTY, and having #GhostofYotei in the conversation with other titles like Expedition 33 and DK Bananza...

I still think it's early to solidify GOTY, but Ghost of Yotei is definitely in the conversation. Going to be interesting in December, #gaming

Going to watch the new #Frankenstein movie on #Netflix when it's out. Heard mixed things about it in reviews, but I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Could be interesting 🤔

Recently, @ubisoft.com canceled a new #AssassinsCreed game that was going to be set in the post-Civil War era. But a game set in that time should really still happen for the series. www.xda-developers.com/the-post-civ...

Not a fan of this. Itagaki just passed, and making a joke like this is out of bounds, especially after news of his passing just came out... Y'all should know better, and do better than this.

Not a good post whatsoever. SMH.

Finished the toughest part in #GhostofYotei that’s in the end game, the Takezo the Unrivaled duel.

It was very hard overall, but very neat to see play out at the top of Mount Yotei. Very fitting way for me to end my game. @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social #gaming

With changes to #Xbox Game Pass recently, PC Game Pass has significantly lost its value to most gamers. And honestly, it didn't have much beforehand. www.xda-developers.com/xbox-pc-game...

Xbox PC Game Pass has significantly lost what little value it had to gamers

Many of the changes to Xbox Game Pass have made everyone mad. But what's sad is how PC Game Pass is even less valuable now to most people.

Everyone is mad at Xbox for the price increase to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. And it may be enough for everyone to switch over to other consoles.

HARD NOPE on this...

I want to see a new Dissidia game for PS5, or at least the first two Dissidia games from the PSP remastered into a collection for PS5. That would be A LOT better for everyone.

Sometimes, you just have to find better people that really mean it with their actions to show they are real friends. Not everybody is as truthful as we might believe at first.
