It's time for spooky games! Here's my lineup for October (plus Alan Wake cus I didn't get to it in September.)

Just got back from Resident Evil and we loved it! Everyone was right that it was surprisingly laugh-out-loud funny, but also effective as a horror movie. I'll definitely rewatch it once it comes out for home viewing.

Really enjoyed wrapping up The Blood of Dawnwalker today! I was concerned the game wouldn't be able to satisfyingly stick the landing, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely be thinking about this game for a while. Much recommended!

I don't think I can pick just one game for this. So here's 4 of them. All of these were formative for me in their own way.

I enjoy our neighborhood Opossum, but I'd like to formally request it please stop pooping in our yard since (one of) my dogs can't be trusted. (He knows who he is 🧐)

One thing I like about Coen from The Blood of Dawnwalker is that yes, he's hot, but he's not unapproachably so. He looks & feels like a real person, and a lot of his appeal comes from his character writing. And for some of us, personality is the hottest thing of all, so well done there.

FrogBeleren @frogbeleren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I specifically avoided everything about the OOT remake except the release date, so shortest Direct of all time! Might pick up the Zelda Pro Controller. Also might go to the concert if it comes my way. Sad no Twilight Princess release on Switch online or remaster like Skyward Sword.

TBH there wasn't much in that State of Play that really wowed me. We got release dates for FFVII Revelation & Until Dawn 2, which was nice I guess. Rhapsody in Scarlet looks interesting but I'm not 100% convinced just off the one trailer. Ghost of Yotei DLC updates are cool.

There's too much coming out this month, so some tough choices had to be made. That said, here's the game lineup for September!

Finally got my Platinum in Nightreign. I've had one last trophy sitting there staring at me for months now, and after the Duskbloods network test, I got the urge to just go finish it. Still an amazing game, and I'd really love to see one last update for it.

FrogBeleren @frogbeleren.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Really great video on Pitbulls & the misinformation out there. As a proud dad of two ambiguous "mixed breed" dogs, this is something I'm hyper attuned to and it's great to see it broken down so clearly. If you ever hear Pitbull stats thrown out there, you might want to know where they come from.

So, we watched Scream 7 and well, it definitely was something. I mean, it was fun in its way. Had some good sequences and interesting kills. But as a story, what even was happening? This might be the most incomprehensible group of nothing-burgers I've ever seen.

Patch notes for the Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring just dropped, and one line stood out. I'm gonna need more details on this, cus I suspect this means they're sprinkling some DLC weapons into the base game, which is precisely what I wanted. 🧐

Brief thread of my thoughts on the 6 Duskblood characters we got to play during the network test. I played at least one game with everyone, and won matches with three of them. I'm really impressed with the balance between these characters and am really looking forward to the rest.

FrogBeleren @frogbeleren.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

There's still one more session of the Duskbloods network test, but here's a thread of my thoughts so far. I'll add to it after my final playtime tonight. First impressions are that it plays really well, is beautifully designed, and felt pretty stable. I can also see it being very addictive.

FrogBeleren @frogbeleren.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

So far I'm really loving the Duskbloods network test matches I've played. Actually won a couple of them! (dino chormp FTW). There's still a lot to uncover and I'll have plenty more thoughts, but off to a great start.

Re front page

Why do you feel it is necessary to inject politics into the front page of a CARD DATABASE?

I dont care if you are "community oriented", I play Magic to escape politics and all that bullshit. There is a time and place for discussing gender politics and this isnt it fam

As for a solution, perhaps link to another page saying "Support these causes we believe in" that way its not in your face, still accessible, and lets people decide the content they want to see

So yesterday, we went to go see the Tales from Earthsea in a theater. I'd never seen it before, and was really nervous to as a lover of the book series it's (very loosely) based on. But I actually really enjoyed it! It's easily one of the most beautiful Ghibli films, and that's saying something!

One thing my 70 lb, 7 month old puppy loves to do is climb up on the back of the couch like a cat. And don't worry he totally fits and doesn't clumsily fall off onto anyone sitting below.

Went to the museum this week and saw an exhibit of Etruscan artifacts, but was particularly obsessed with the crab on this vase, pinching Heracles' ankle while he fights the Lernean Hydra. What a savage diva, honesty.
