Them: “lol well you declined to pay extra for order protection so too bad you loser, this is actually your fault for being such a cheap little pansy. Get lost. 🤑”

Shenmue 1&2 HD Remaster (2018, PS4)
Rating: 9.5/10
Revolutionary titles that are considered to be the first modern “open world” games. Incredibly detailed environments and immersive settings. Corny but endearing voice acting. Beautiful music. Vividly captures the monotony and ennui of daily life.

Drinks are on me tonight, boys - got my monthly interest payment from the bank!! I know with compounding interest I should leave it in there to grow my abundant wealth, but y’all have been good and deserve a treat.

I’ll buy you a Jet Cola if you can name an ass that looks better in jeans than Ryo’s.
(spoiler: I didn’t even bring money for the Jet Cola machine because no one can win this bet)

Monument Valley 3 (2025, PS5)
Rating: 7.5/10
The final installment of this puzzle trilogy finishes strong. I’m really impressed by the small gameplay innovations gradually revealed across all 3 games. The basic mechanics don’t drastically change but there’s enough clever changes to keep it fun.

This memory from 7 years ago popped up on my phone and it always makes me laugh. This is a staged video of us pretending to have a boring, awkward, silent dinner with some friends. (We actually had nonstop chats and laughs)

Rating: 8/10
Giving this a slightly higher score than the first game, mostly because of a clearer narrative. There’s enough little variations in puzzle mechanics to keep the game interesting and not repetitive. It has a captivating aesthetic. Brief, but satisfying.
