For all things bleeding talent, keep it locked to IGN.

Hot tech take: The Pixel tablet is the best product in the pixel line. I wish Google knew that. A clock, media player and smart home interface when I need it, a halfway device when I want to browse on my couch, sticking it to my fridge magnetically when I'm doing an instacart order, it's perfect.

Games media and content creator friends! I have some time in my schedule to do some freelance editing! Hit me up and we can discuss rates ☺️

I haven't been able to put down Moonlight Peaks. After ditching my switch and going all in on the steam ecosystem, I don't find myself missing animal crossing. The level of polish makes it feel like new horizons and stardew in the underworld. It's just a great, cozy little game.

So torn up about the steam machine... I currently have a PC under my TV running bazzite with a ryzen 9000 and a 3080 that blows it away, but waiting for full Nvidia/Intel updates in an official steam os from valve will take until 2027 😅

"State of unreal" Is unreal in a state where games can run without tinkering with your settings a million times even on premium hardware?

Decided to edit my own Euphoria season 3 trailer with Labrinth's music to see just how robbed we were of a good musical score.

The Mixtape discourse is so unfathomably stupid. "It can play itself if you put the controller down". Brother, when did you even try that?

I want Bad Bunny in cyberpunk 2 instead of Lizzy Wizzy, they can even give him exotic cybernetic upgrades and give him earsss

My setup has changed so many times over the years and it's been fun to see what tech works for my workflow. Packing up and getting ready for my move and I'm excited to see how it changes again.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

The craziest part about the new steam hardware is the prospect of buying once and playing your games everywhere. It's the value proposition that gamepass used to have, except now you own it, instead of a rotating library. I don't think that's been stated enough.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

BIG same. PC has dominated my play time and if I can buy one game, play it at my setup, my couch, or on my steam deck, I don't need PS5 or Xbox.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Y'all, this game deserves so much more love. As a fan of faux-MMO'S (.HACK, SAO), this game feels like WoW or ESO single player in the best way. So much content, and great combat, it's clicked with me in the best way.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

I wanted a Destiny game in the flavor of Arc Raiders years ago. A survival pvpe title centered around a task force of soldiers that don't possess the light, they forage for items useful to the tower.

My cut is finally almost over. I had blown past my goal of going to 215 to 185 so fast that I extended it to 175, and hit 174 today. I have never managed to lose that much weight without hurting my body (EDs, diet pills) in the past, and have finally done it the healthy way and it feels unreal tbh.

Loving The Outer Worlds 2. Everything feels so much more expensive without sacrificing the core identity of the game.

I really hope we get robust mod support and some real optimization for Bloodlines 2. The world design feels great, although I wish it felt a little bit... seedier.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

the weirdest part about growing up with social media is that I feel like I don't exist unless my face is on the internet~

I get the creeping feeling every time I play a borderlands game... ...that the villain is inspired by someone in leadership at gearbox.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

PS5 exclusives remind me of molecular gastronomy. I know that they're well made, I know very smart people put them together... but it just doesn't feel like comfort food. I often find myself saying "I know this is technically a good game, but am I having fun?"

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

It's refreshing to see Xbox getting shit for acquiring companies and then paying off masses of employees. Next I wanna see the same criticism of parent companies for games news outlets that do the exact same thing.

This was a dream come true! I pitched a ghost hunt to the team, rallied the troops, brought in the best damn video guy in games, made a run of show, and dragged them thru tarantula-infested woods. We got INSANE evidence. Massive 👏🏻 to @alan7615.bsky.social for his amazing videography and vision!

Hot take that no one asked for: 2FA has become so damn annoying when everything requires on time codes, passkeys, remote device confirmation, it's just become annoying as hell.

So uhh why does borderlands run so poorly 🤔 playing on an MSI titan with a 4090 and it's still bootybutts.

I think that sometimes with the horror we see in games and games media, you have to remind yourself why you do what you do, and why you'd never want to do anything else. G4 made me want to be in this industry. I ran home to watch it and every time, I knew, "I want to be part of this".

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Sometimes I literally look at my own stuff and admire it, not because I'm being cocky or anything, I just genuinely love what I've put together this year. My look is inspired by edge magazine, fake informer, early 2000s gaming aesthetics, old g4tv and more.

Like it seems so simple on the surface, but playing this way is so much slower. I'm not blindly chasing map markers (I also am playing with a minimal hud mod), I am navigating using in-world signs. I'm planning an entire day and methodically treating each play session as a separate outing.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Ever since using mods to add a deeper metro experience, needs like food, water, sleep, and relaxation, this cyberpunk playthrough has evolved into a life sim. It's crazy how much I've noticed about this game even after about 800 hrs in it. I need to pitch a piece about this or make a video essay.

Alan Torres @alan7615.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

I hated Jackie in the game trailers, he seemed like a caricature of Latine culture. It's unfortunate that the only depth he receives is in death. Anyway, I attended an ofrenda for a choom today. A great side quest, with some really impactful moments, but ultimately we should've had more of them.
