🏆 Games Beat in 2026 🧵

Here we go again...
I really like the concept of achievements, but I’ve found I like PlayStation Trophies even more. Having the Platinum Trophy is like a badge of honour (or shame).

Here’s an ongoing list of the games I’ve achieved a platinum trophy in!

The layoffs across games and games journalism have been disproportionately affecting the women in the industry, and even more so, black women.

Support the indies that champion their voices before it's too late (& please share more in the replies)

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

We need a new term for gaming handhelds where the screen size exceeds 5 inches.

Do you want to help me steal an asteroid? ☄️

It really depresses me that eBay partnered with Evri. The logistics equivalent of slop.

What is going on here. Is it at the sender’s depot, my depot, or is it ready for collection?

Nintendo should be tried for their crimes of ugly game cases with these switch 2 editions

I’m very unlikely to be buying a Sony TV going forward.

Good day in Pokémon GO!

This was a New Game+ playthrough, with one goal… Platinum Trophy!

We’re rapidly approaching (if we’re not already in) a situation where rising prices will result in these products pricing themselves above their target audiences.

I recently got back into Pokémon GO with a new account. It’s a good time.

It’s no coincidence my X account is now deleted. I also plan on deleting my Meta accounts shortly, too.

Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

I think there's an outside chance I beat a game today...

What’s that? I can’t pick super short games to inflate the numbers?

Stop me.

I beat 17 games in 2024. So far, I've beat 11 games in 2025. Going to lock in with the goal of matching 2024!

I really dig these. Yes, you can 3D print, but as someone without a printer, they're a great ready-to-buy option!
I recently picked up the Mouse Mode Grips (Switch 2) by Venom, here are my thoughts! strt-slct.com/2025/11/30/v...

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
