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.

There should be a weather app for introverts, like:

The Seance of Blake Manor manages to eloquently tackle themes of grief, while also being a very cool and unique open ended detective game. Any fans of Golden Idol or even Blue Prince should consider it.

My review.

The Seance of Blake Manor Review: Death Detective
Like most people, I have many concerns about the seemingly rapid advances of AI into our society. One use of AI that has disturbed me the most is when I see people use it to try and essentially bri…

Surprised people are shocked Brie Larson is in the new Mario movie. She’s a massive Nintendo fan and has done ads for them as well as said Samus Aran would be her dream role. Her as Rosalina makes sense.

Would a region locked American console be possible to get it cheaper? Maybe the tariffs still impact it? Not sure.

It feels like gaming is going backward to the pre HD era in terms of cost and stuff like this
Sony has announced a special Japan-only version of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, which will be sold at a discounted price of ¥55,000 ($355).

The duality of men, I’m seeing people that loved that SOP and some that hated it lol

I think it was fine considering they told you it was focused on Japan so I didn’t expect any megatons

Sat down at lunch and read this whole thing. Outside of one part that I understand where Geoff was coming from, everything else is ridiculous. It’s obvious this was a program started to look good over actually caring.
Yet another bad look for Geoff and unfortunately highlights the continuing struggles for representation

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Calling it gaming’s Oscar’s has always been a stretch when they barely show the “awards” part of the show
“Many believe Future Class’s failure will serve as a cogent reminder that allyship without proper support is simply performative.”

I can’t see why anyone would continue to support TGA when it clearly does not support game devs, just a circle jerk for the wealthy.

Biped 2 took me by surprise with its insanely chaotic ragdoll mechanics and four player co-op. And it got me thinking, this "friendslop" genre is pretty fun when you don't have someone raining on your parade.

My impressions:

In the endless search for games to play with friends other than PEAK, I stumbled upon Biped 2. The sequel to a moderately successful coop action adventure game, the gameplay of these games feel like a...
