🚨COMING THIS WEEK🚨 Gotta tease this one a little cuz I’m very excited 👀 @planofattack.bsky.social was so kind as to bequeath upon me a Switch 2 code for @constancegame.bsky.social , so get ready for a deep dive into its beautifully-executed mental health themes 🧠💜

The cat can now safely be let out of the bag… I am honored to say I was part of the jury panel (judges’ panel?) for @gamesforchange.bsky.social Awards 2026!!! Mental health is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time, and I love to weave discussions into my content creating. (1/3)

In both 2025 and 2026, a French composer with no previous experience in video game scoring has kicked down the door with the best soundtracks of the year 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 @expedition33.bsky.social @nicoggn.bsky.social

My heart wanted the STUNNING collector’s edition but trying to show at least *some* restraint these days with my spending

The alternate voice line from Pepper is hysterical 🤣 #StarFox #StarFox2026

Maybe i did two full campaigns of Star Fox on Switch 2 within 13 hours of firing it up for the first time. Maybe that second campaign was completed over breakfast and made me leave late for work. Mind your own business.

Absolutely flying through House of Leaves 😳 I’ve read more between Sunday afternoon and Monday night than i’d read for the entire year preceding it. Once I wrap this up, gotta jump straight to the relevant @jacobgeller.com essay in “How a Game Lives”

Thanks to @planofattack.bsky.social , I’ve been playing a lot of #ClockworkAmbrosia for the past several days 🤩 video essay/ Metroidvania breakdown is in the works but in the meantime, I have to share this early-game moment that cracked me up 😂

HYPNOS: The Maze Chronicles, the latest game from @redlockstudio.bsky.social , has you exploring The Nameless City in search of a mysterious boy who haunts your dreams 👀 huge thanks to Redlock Studio and @pressengine.net for this opportunity! #indiegame #indiedev #videogames #hypnos

Working on a video for this (courtesy of @redlockstudio.bsky.social and @pressengine.net ) and it’s hard to focus on that because I’m too busy hitting the screenshot button and picking my jaw up off the floor

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

The developers at @rusticpandagames.bsky.social are cooking up a Zelda-inspired action RPG with a choice-and-consequences based narrative, and I got to dive into the demo build! Huge thank you to Rustic Panda and the folks at @pressengine.net for the chance to try Colossus - Eternal Blight!

The Board must be onto something because today I snagged the reprint of the @remedygames.com Control art book the same week I’m finally putting out a video essay on the game 😏🔻see y’all on Friday!

It was phrased a little wonky, sure (Nintendo gonna Nintendo), but if even ***i*** could figure out to just click the link on the announcement to the Yoshi store page to check out the price differences myself, surely major news outlets could have done the same 🫩

Between my Lumière-themed ACNH island and my new wall art, one might surmise i thought @expedition33.bsky.social was… pretty good 😂

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Had some setbacks this past week (c’est la vie) but hoping to have this out for the weekend! Until then, enjoy the thumbnail i cracked myself up making 😂

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

I wrapped up my first playthrough of #MetroidPrime4 last night 🥹 there were a couple of missteps, but this was an overall fantastic experience that I’ll be playing over and over for years to come

020

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

#MetroidPrime4 is absolutely STUNNING!! Having a blast so far. First 3 hours flew by 🤩

010

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Chump change for some, but this is very important for me! For my latest essay, I made a conscious effort to focus on positivity and my own excitement for Metroid Prime 4 rather than trying to pick apart and yell about the criticism i thought was overblown. Maybe i would have gotten even more

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

#MetroidPrime4 is almost here, so I gotta be quick — here’s a recap of the first #MetroidPrime in under 30 seconds ⏰

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Honestly not sure what should upset me more: the full second of silence, or the booing that followed 😂😂 love the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social crew!! @timgettys.bsky.social @blessingjr.bsky.social @rogformer.bsky.social

PlayStation’s “unmissable deals” include selling you the console at the discounted price of… [checks notes] the launch MSRP from 5 years ago I’m tired, boss

020

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I encourage you to look at other previews. GameInformer, for example, barely mentions the NPC(s) at all while IGN dedicates multiple paragraphs and quotes nearly every line of dialogue they hated. Safe to say mileage may vary 😂

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

If y’all think having an NPC talk excessively or hold your hand too much is a complete disservice to the #Metroid franchise and will completely ruin the experience of #MeteoidPrime4, sit down while I tell you about Metroid Fusion, famously loathed by critics and fans alike

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

🚨 Saturday 11/15 on YouTube 🚨 Metroid Prime 3 is old enough to vote, so you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the story of the original trilogy - if you experienced it at all. Don't worry, I've got you covered. Let’s get caught up before #MetroidPrime4 !!

Currently snuggled up with the now-5yo girlie watching some Mario movie 🥰

Outlaws was my #6 game from last year — LOVED my time with it. In my Top 10 video i mention how the toxic corner of the gaming sphere was complaining about Kay’s attractiveness. Someone tried to come in my comments about that and I wasn’t having it 😂

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

Only snagged this one… for now 😂 arrived earlier this evening

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

It took a full year but I FINALLY CRACKED A GOD PACK 😭😭😭

CognitiveClips @cognitiveclips.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

It makes me genuinely happy to see Star Wars Outlaws as the 5th best-selling Switch 2 game on the eShop 🥹

Happy Metroid Prime Trilogy art book launch day to anyone else celebrating!!!

First ~90 minutes of #PokemonLegendsZA get a big 👍🏻 from me! Can’t wait to jump back in after work!

Y’all, I haven’t posted anything about #1000xRESIST to my YouTube in like 9 months but it’s apparently how everyone finds me 😂

Can’t stop jumping back into #StarWarsOutlaws on Switch 2 🤩 Poor Nix holding on for dear life hahah s/o @ubisoft.com for sending the code to us at @dropindropoutpod.bsky.social !
