Due to the stress of the past year, it’s been really hard for me to buckle down and focus on games enough to finish them, instead starting a bunch of games trying to find one that feels satisfying enough to help me relax, meaning that the list of games I’m “actively” playing has become absolutely massive. Certainly…

As someone who’s played this game countless times in the past 20 years, I’d agree with the others. The rewards you get for Chocobo breeding feel especially geared towards beating the WEAPONs, and everything about those two goals feel very removed from the main plot and systems. Both take tons of time and grinding and…

Oh man, blast from the past! I absolutely remember this! Didn’t this keep going with even more Pokemon abominations?

Guidelines: “It’s simple, folks, don’t sexually harass / assault underage fans, okay?”

I certainly didn’t expect my morning to start with “Gigantamax Cat Mario battling Kaiju Bowser Pacific Rim-style while a FFX boss theme plays in the background and Nintendo finally acknowledges Mario Sunshine.”

Can’t wait to see them use the RNG glitch to catch a Mew!

After spending literal years in the GOP “FUCK AROUND” stage with little to no negative impacts from all their bullshit, I’m excited to see that we’re finally moving into the “FIND OUT” stage comprised entirely of the consequences of their own actions. Soak ‘em dry, Dominion.

There was a long period of my young life (probably from the age of nine to maybe seventeen? Prior to the easy googling of the modern internet) where I could have sworn this movie was one of those weird fever dream imagined memories from childhood, combined from other media. Strangely, the other childhood movie that…

Square Enix, writing notes: “Okay, so you said you want the iOS port of VI with the giant touchscreen interface and terrible muddled artwork, right? Great, that’ll be $20. No need to thank us.”

Definitely expected this article to be about Twitch deplatforming the asshole himself who made those remarks, not...removing access to a special emote with his face instead? Good to know Twitch is still spineless as ever.

Like I commented on that article, my guess is that the huge overlap between the OG Xbox library and the PC library meant that there just wasn’t as much incentive for the community to develop Xbox emulation. I can already go to Steam or GOG (or more recently, my Xbox One) to play the majority of the OG Xbox’s best…

There’s been a dedicated Youtube app on Switch for most of its life, as well as Hulu and a couple others. I agree that it’s very strange that there’s no Netflix or other major streaming apps, but my guess is that Nintendo doesn’t want a browser for a few reasons:

That’s not correct. The Xbox was, for all intents and purposes, just a living room PC - it was designed with relatively off-the-shelf hardware, which made porting PC games a breeze and explains the huge overlap between the contemporary Xbox and PC release libraries. The Gamecube, on the other hand, was more…

This is fantastic, god knows how much bandwidth I was using each month just relistening to the same Persona OST compilations on Youtube while working on projects. Also, I’m currently playing through P5 Royal and one of my favorite features is the fact that the battle music changes based on the special costume that…

As we start a new console generation, and with both new console makers at least somewhat supporting backwards compatibility (MS far more than Sony), I’d love to see Sony and Nintendo better support and embrace their histories. Sure, Nintendo has the NES and SNES Online platforms, but it’s still baffling that the…

I’m always happy to see better emulation of past consoles from a hardware preservation standpoint, so this is great news. That said, I’d bet that the OG Xbox was never an emulation priority because there was such major overlap with the PC at the time, so between those games, multiplatform games that also released on…

I’ve loved Game Pass for the past year or so on Xbox and PC (I originally tried the beta on PC and liked it so much I bought a One S that Black Friday for cheap as a Game Pass machine). On top of Crusader Kings III on PC (a game I love but am terrible at), the majority of my time has been with indies, usually to try…

After the transition from being mobile only, I didn’t realize this was still an auto-runner...that gameplay style makes tons of sense on a phone, but I can’t imagine ever enjoying it in the same way as I devoured the original Super Meat Boy. I wonder if it’s even possible to release a mode that adds those traditional…

I think the best way to strengthen Dreams as a platform is to make it as widespread and accessible as possible. If it wasn’t PS exclusive, I’d say it was the ideal Game Pass game, but maybe the closest possibility is that it should be added to the PS Plus Collection or preloaded onto PS5s like Astro’s Playroom. That…

You know, for a show that I watched, generally enjoyed but didn’t love, and promptly forgot about (even though I love the games and the series’ world), I’m really looking forward to the next season to a surprising degree.
