Welcome to my 2025 media thread lets see how long I keep this up.
Oh so you just don’t play them got it 👍🏾. Just because something is old that doesn’t mean it’s just nostalgia if it’s good.
Call me a hater but I think all these mario-donkey-sonic games don’t belong on awards anymore. We should let them be for good and give space for new games that provide real value instead of cheap nostalgia that is not even satisfying or creative anymore, just dusty and repetitive. Museum exhibits 🤷♀️

I will give Amazon this they are the few studios actually releasing seasons at a decent click when they have a hit. Stranger things has been on the air for 10 years.
‘FALLOUT’ Season 3 is aiming to begin filming in Summer 2026
The goal is to release new seasons as fast as possible.

Must be great being a white guy huh. Dems suck dick but at least they do some good along with the bad. But I guess when you are some white guy it’s just a purity test. Would love to have that privilege
Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige.
I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

I know this may sound weird for people who aren’t big sonic fans. But we are so fucking happy to get new stages that show more of Sonic’s world. The museum stage has a lot of references the series and a lot of the other stages are like that or just completely new stuff. We are so tired of rehashing
As I'm playing through it more, a lot of these tracks feel like they could've been themed around any of the other Sega IPs like All-Stars Racing (Transformed) did, but I look up what they're based on, and I see "this is an original track" like...okay, that's weird for on two accounts:
Well I grabbed the Sonic racing game since it was on sale. I enjoy it, but my earlier complaints still linger. The non-Sonic characters being silent is sad, like a cheap licensed tie-in game would do. All the IRL licensed advertising isn't helping. And I think I just want another "All-Stars" game.

You can like games like Sonic 06 but don't go telling me it's a fantastic experience and that it's underrated. There's a difference in voicing your opinion and lying to people.

Holy shit they mean on normal sales. Nintendo games are full priced most of the year and then only some of there games get put on sale for a few weeks. Has anyone ever heard of hyperbole. Normal games go on sale most of the year or just go down in price. Nintendo doesn’t.
I don't understand people who say "Nintendo never puts their games on sale". As I'm writing this, Luigi's Mansion 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, and a few others are on sale. All major first party Nintendo games.
People just wanna grift so bad they decide to spread misinformation.

They keep trying to tell me gas is cheaper while I look outside and it’s been over 4 dollars all year. It’s maddening
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Context matters pretty much heavily. It’s not as simple as revenge bad. It’s about why are you doing it. Her killing the yotei six is good. Her doing it with reckless abandon with the intention of killing herself isn’t.
Agreed on literally all points it is SO weird!!! They’re trying to do TLoU2 so bad but Abby and Ellie were aggressive strawmen, whereas the Yotei Six are psycho murderers who tried to burn a child to death and are destroying a country
In the last of us 2, a game that sucks really quite bad, you can at least see yeah sure, these strawmen characters are blowing their life up for the sake of revenge. This is pretty stupid! But here, there's no reason for her Not To get revenge. By getting revenge she is Tangibly Improving Society

Oh that’s neat I hope the general gaming public doesn’t lose their shit at the fact that there isn’t much huge American properties here even though they specifically said it’s for the Japanese. Right?

I’m coming to the terms that mha ending is like the end of my childhood. It’s the last constant from my childhood that’s still around and it’s kinda bittersweet. Almost everything now will be from the complete view as an adult.

Kingdom Hearts is such a good example of emotion focused storytelling. Everyone on earth understands the feeling conveyed by "I guess my summer vacation is over" and there's so many moments in those games meant to convey that exact same feeling

I’m so lucky my favorite games as a kid where sonic generations, uncharted 3, spiderman web of shadows, and game dev tycoon. These 4 games have built me to be able to play a shit ton of genres without it being out side of my comfort zone.

While the world has gone to shit I still seem to find the good in the small things my family,my fiancé, my friends, good video games, great tv shows, and awesome movies. All of it has really kept me sane to the point that I finally made it to 24 as of yesterday. But I’m looking forward to 25.
