Just a guy from the Seattle area who loves music (Madonna, NIN, David Bowie, among many others), vinyl collecting, and video games. Final Fantasy is my favorite series. 🏳️🌈

My favorite albums of 2025 (a thread). Honestly, there was some really good music this year, but overall I kinda felt it was a weak year overall. I usually have an abundance of albums I personally rate a 5/5, but not this year. Rounding out a top 10 was tough, but here they are...
I love that Cyberpunk allows for this.

#MetroidPrime4 is absolutely gorgeous.

Tried out the PS+ trial of #LostSoulAside. It feels like the devs weren't quite sure how to make a video game, but it was still kinda fun! It's like the B-movie of fantasy action games, with a cast of characters that are the Temu versions of more well known ones from many other games!

I am so excited for Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Made it to the final final boss of #Silksong (Act 3). Honestly I feel pretty accomplished just getting here, haha. So far she seems really tough, but not undoable. I'm not gonna stress on this one. I'll try a few attempts at a time, but I'm not gonna obsess over it like I've done on other bosses.

I don't see it mentioned enough. Tango In The Night is an incredible record, and one of #FleetwoodMac 's best ever.

Okay, Jurassic World Rebirth was absurdly stupid.

Another #Silksong grievance. Did Team Cherry really think Karmelita (probably the second hardest boss in the game) was so easy that she needed a goddamn gauntlet ahead of that fight!? Serious WTF moment. 🤬

#KirbyAirRiders is 23 GB, and #MetroidPrime4 is 32 GB. Suddenly I don't think my Switch 2 has enough space for my gaming habits, lol.

In the years that I've been voting for #TheGameAwards, I've never seen the website crash for an entire day. Crazy stuff. The Player's Voice voting is gonna be a shitstorm at this point.

FKA Twigs' Eusexua is pretty much my 2025 album of the year. Today she released a follow-up, Eusexua Afterglow, and it's just so boring! This album is trying so hard, but while it has a really cool foundation, the songs just end up going nowhere.

Ah, shit. Power couple Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi broke up. What hope is there for the rest of us??

I absolutely love the form factor of the new Steam Machine! Controller looks pretty nice as well. While PC gaming isn't really for me, I have to say I'm curious about this thing.

I recently took ownership of a 25-year, 10-LP retrospective of the #Anjunabeats record label's music. It's separated by their different labels, Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep, Anjunachill...and then capped off by a compilation of label founder Above & Beyond's music. This is sheer bliss! Trance goodness!

Rolled credits on Act 2 of #Silksong! Only took almost 90 hours, lol. Beautiful game. Now for Act 3...and I found that first gauntlet more difficult than the last boss of Act 2!

There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to do a spin attack with another button. This using minimal inputs is kinda dumb.
