Dad, husband, and video game enjoyer. Looking to spread positivity! I'm simply here to explore a love for games!
More people need to go back and revisit this forgotten and highly underrated sixth-generation classic.🎮

First game I ever beat on my own as a kid. Just beat it again last night and it's such a fun revisit to a time where the FPS wasn't fully fleshed out yet. Highly recommend!

Just officially got the platinum trophy for Ghost of Yotei... What a game! Well deserving of all the praise it's gotten! Easily one of the most beautiful games over played!
Here's some of my favorite screenshots I got while playing!

I loved Ghost of Tsushima, but I feel like somehow... Ghost of Yotei is even more stunning! 🎮

Just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter... Sitting through the credits like this... Definitely my current Game of the Year! I loved the original, but this was everything I could ask from a remake!
Play it! I implore you!

Thinking about how the "climb anything and everything" mechanic in BotW is so good. 🎮📷

I have fond memories of breaking out a Worm Light like this whenever we'd lose power growing up. Certainly felt like the olden days!

I think I've decided for the third QoL improvement, it'd have to be difficulty settings!
I like playing games on easy to medium difficulty! After spending all day working and taking care of the kid I like a nice chill experience!

QoL Mount Rushmore Thread:
I've been thinking about the Quality of Life Improvements in video games Mount Rushmore. One has to be Fast Travel, right?
Being able to traverse large maps quickly is so nice! It respects your time!

Still trying to figure out my "Video Game QoL Improvements" Mount Rushmore...
I think I've decided for the third QoL improvement, it'd have to be difficulty settings!
Having the option for a game to be easier or harder is a HUGE game changer!
What do you think?

On the last chapter of Trails in the Sky... man, I absolutely love this game.
Having played the original, I know what's coming. But it's that awareness that makes my anticipation for the finale so high!
Truly, if you love video games you owe it to yourself to play this game...
