One of my gaming confessions is I’ve never played a kingdom hearts game….this collection looks intimidating. 1.5, 2.8?!?

Catching up on some backlog games this weekend. Sayonara Wildhearts is great. Queen latifah, kissing, fireworks. It all works. Nier automata’s opening is damn impressive.

Can I get a cozy murder anime tv show in the vein of murder she wrote or columbo but set in the professor Layton universe. I love that they keep making the games but I’m too dumb to play them or something

Picked up 2 gadgets recently: Snowsky echo nano and the xteink x3. Really enjoying both. No touch screens - both have physical buttons! As everything tech related becomes more expensive it’s fun to find small niche devices

Extremely useless knowledge: The length of time it takes to land the last hit on Ralf Clark's Galactica Vanguard in KOF2K2UM is the same length of time as the pause before "Smoke Weed Everyday" in Dr. Dre's 2001 hit, The Next Episode.

The switch 2 is 1 year old?!? Picked it up on launch day and have been loving it ever since. Pro controller is amazing, table top mode is better than ever, playing switch 1 games in boost mode is great.

"Many gamers don't even look to influencers for reviews, they look to influencers to be told what to think about the games," said Cain. Scarily on point with this quote. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

pcgamer.com

Fallout designer Tim Cain thinks influencers have changed how people make and play games: 'more people seem to be abdicating their own judgement to that of people they see online'

"I have no idea what the 2030s are going to be like."

Finished Pragmata. Bosses had a little too much health for my taste but I feel like everything the team set out to do was executed perfectly. In the way that John wick laid out the blueprint for cheaper Hollywood action movies, this game does the same for AAA. Easily in consideration for goty

speaking of cool cheap effects: the shadow from the ceiling fan in Robo Recall is not a real shadow or even a light function or even a decal, it's a rotating translucent mesh
