About 1.5 months ago, I learned how to ride a bike for the first time. Now, I'm riding my bike to work for the first time. Feels awesome!

I tried this on my Steamdeck as well. Plays great. From a first glance, Switch 2 and Steamdeck performance are neck and neck. Switch 2 is a little more optimized and has a bigger screen. it's so NICE to have seamless cross progression.

Runs and looks much better competed to Switch 1. Maybe a little better than steamdeck. I have to compare.

I listened to The RPG Cave (by Carpool Gaming) last night per Greg’s recommendation on the show. I’m hooked. Amazing podcast. There are alot of gaming podcast out there but an RPG centric podcast that is entertaining, informative and has great hosts is hard to come by. Thanks Greg!

That being said. I want to finish trails 1st chapter and black flag 😂🤣

Garret Bland @blandexplosion.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

So hyped for both Fire Emblem and Trails 2nd chapter. Im 40 hours into Trails the 1st Chapter. I maybe able to finish it in a month or so? Then I'll dive into 2nd chapter. Fire Emblem comes in a few weeks later for me unfortunately, but that's ok. I gotta play catchup with the back log.

Matt is so great at this and deserves a look. Appreciate the genuine opinion on this one. Wolverine was Top 3 most anticipated games of 2026 for me, alongside Saros and Forza Horizon 6.

Generally a weaker Direct but some fun announcements. Metroid Ravenous Kirby open world game Persona 4 and 6 KCD 2 Yokai Watch YuGiOh GX Eternal Anima Romancing Saga 3 I overall enjoyed it.

Square Enix only does game key cards. Ill go digital.

No achievements. But I'll resort to Switch 2. This is more bothersome

What a massive deal breaker and disappointment playing FF Resonance demo on steam deck. It seems like the hour count continues even when on sleep mode. Is this the same for Switch 2? Maybe I'll just get it over there. No I haven't been playing the game for 12 hours.
