I wish the Pokémon games were smarter. For example, if I have 200+ hours of playtime across other games, maybe I don't need the newest game to explain to me what a Pokémon is or how to catch one?

I was worried there would be performance issues with ZA like we saw with Scarlet and Violet, but so far, that doesn't seem to be the case. Gameplay is fun, and I really dig the setting. A modern Lumiose City is more my jam than the Hisui region from Arceus.

I’m digging Silent Hill f, but I wish it did a better job with wayfinding so I didn’t have to open my map every three seconds to figure out where I'm going.

I started Silent Hill f and it’s good, but now I also need a daytime game to play when my kid is around so I also restarted Oblivion Remastered.

After almost finishing Elden Ring several times over the past couple years, I finally rolled credits on it. I think the original Dark Souls is still my favourite but I really enjoyed it. I also gave Shadow of Erdtree a fair shake but ended up abandoning it for having some of the worst boss fights of any FromSoft game.

One of the best things that could come from the EA buyout is that the new owners sell off BioWare and give that studio the chance to make good games again.

The EA buyout doesn't seem like it has an upside for anyone other than the investors and C-suite assholes.

If you’re in games media, ask yourself if Hideo Kojima needs more of your help promoting his projects or if you couldn’t use that time and energy helping smaller games get even a fraction of the attention his work gets.

I’m torn on pulling for Orphie and Magus in ZZZ. I love the characters’ design but struggled with them in combat. I feel like I should wait until Yidhari, whose design I like but find less interesting, who might be more my speed in combat.
