My Top 10 Games of the Year, from 1995-2022.

Not the 'best' games of that given year, but the 10 best games I played that given year. Be prepared for some blind spots.

Here's a 🧵

Wolverine should never be introduced or positioned as a core/founding/leading member of the team. He's the weird uncle who shows up when it matters.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 17h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

My favorite part about Battlefield 6 is watching 7 teammates run right by me as I'm asking to be revived.

This week I’m going to raise money for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social to help Palestinians in need.

On Fri I'll start & finish Metal Gear Solid, MGS2 on Sat, Delta on Sun. It'll be 9 AM PT each day on www.twitch.tv/tamoorh.

Fundraiser is live on my Twitch. Please share if you can!

We're never getting another Trials game and that bums me out so much.

It'd be great if we could get back to being able to call a place and a human being answers the phone.

I'd argue Halo 2 over 1 because it felt like the real multiplayer phenomenon of the two, but that could simply be anecdotal.

Does anyone book more commercials than Chad Jamian? I see that dude everywhere.

Used to watch his Vines back in the day and now he's on my TV during every ad break.

Wow, okay. People weren't lying when they said K-Pop Demon Hunters had the juice.

What a phenomenal accomplishment on every level.

*brb, going to listen to the soundtrack on repeat

I was such a mark for these games as a kid, but I never had a chance to play. We didn't have a home computer growing up.

That Nintendo video is just a Pikmin movie teaser with all of the Pikmin edited out of it, right?

This photo makes it look like your cat is on Big Brother. lol

A skeleton doing yoga.

I think it's important that we normalize men crying—specifically, straight men. I believe there's a negative stigma surrounding it, mostly among ourselves.

Here are four scenes that bring me to tears every time I watch them. Care to show me yours?

Eyes on the prize, Huber. Eyes on the prize.

Never feel inadequate in what you do for work.

The person/machine responsible for putting sprinkles on cosmic brownies has been abysmally incompetent for decades and still holds its job.

Oh no, Auri! My wallet can't handle this.

Sometimes it feels like everything in the world is sliding backward, and it gets overwhelming.

And then I think about the art community—the people making and sharing work, supporting each other, keeping creativity alive. I’m just really grateful to be here with all of you.

#1 Clickolding by @strangescaffold.bsky.social @writnelson.bsky.social

What a weird and off-putting way to kick off the Spooktober season. I really enjoyed this bite-sized exploration of designer/player dynamics. Worth every penny, and click.

And it's on sale for just $2 on Steam until 10/6/25!

🎃SPOOKTOBER THREAD🎃

I'm going to create a thread for all the Horror, Halloween, and spooky vibes-related media I check out in October 2025.

Rest in peace to one of the most pivotal conservationists and researchers of my lifetime. Both her and Steve Irwin played a key role in my love of animals and environmental/conservation efforts/beliefs.

Dr. Jane Goodall, the world-renowned chimpanzee researcher, anthropologist, and conservationist, has died at 91.

The world could really use a Costume Quest 3.

I'm a White Sox fan. I have no empathy to give, Mat.
